Quests | daily.dev docs

Quests turn everyday daily.dev activity into rewards. Each quest is a short objective, like writing comments, bookmarking posts, or sharing links. Complete it, claim it, and you get XP and often Cores or reputation.

Where to find quests

On large screens, open the Streak tab in the sidebar (the flame icon). Your daily and weekly quests are listed under your reading streak.
On mobile, tap the quest button in the header.
The Game Center, at daily.dev/game-center, has your level, milestone quests, and more. You can also open it from Game center in the Explore panel.

The daily.dev app with the streak panel open in the sidebar and the daily and weekly quests highlighted, each with XP and Cores rewards and progress

Quest types

Daily quests reset every day at midnight UTC.
Weekly quests reset every Monday at midnight UTC.
Milestone quests are long-term goals, like reading 1,000 articles or gaining 100 followers. They never reset and live in the Game Center.

New accounts also get a short set of intro quests that walk you through the basics of daily.dev.

Each quest shows what to do, its rewards, and your progress, for example 0/5. Click a quest to go where you can complete it.

Claiming rewards

When a quest is done, click Claim to get its rewards:

XP raises your level.
Cores go to your Cores wallet, where you can spend them on Awards, Boost, and streak freezes.
Reputation adds to your reputation score.

Claim daily and weekly rewards before the quest resets. A completed quest you don't claim in time is lost.

Plus quests

Every daily and weekly set includes one extra quest for Plus members, marked with a lock. Without Plus, you can still make progress on it, and you can claim it if you upgrade before it resets.

Levels and XP

Your level comes from your total XP. You earn XP by claiming quests and by unlocking achievements. The first levels take 50 XP each, and higher levels need more.

The Game Center

The Game Center brings your progress together:

Your level and XP, your quest streak (days in a row you completed at least one quest), your badges, and your achievements.
Milestone quests.
The Achievement shelf, with the achievements you're closest to unlocking.
Badges & Awards: your Top Reader badges and the Awards you've received.
Community pulse: who has the most XP and who completed the most quests.

The quest streak is separate from your reading streak.

Turning quests off

Go to Settings → Streaks & gamification and turn off Show quests. This hides quests, levels, and achievements. Your progress keeps counting in the background. To hide everything, including reading streaks, turn off Show gamification features.

More display options are covered in Appearance settings.
