Weekly quest

Weekly quests, or weeklies, are repeatable quests that can be acquired and completed once per week. First introduced with patch 3.1.2 in the combat zone Wintergrasp, they tend to have significantly better rewards than other repeatable quests.

The new weekly quest becomes available—at the start of the day—every Tuesday for US servers and Wednesday for EU servers, after the weekly server maintenance.

Weekly raid quests

Dalaran

Weekly raid quests are available from Archmage Lan'dalock in Dalaran. Every Tuesday at 3 AM the Council of Six will choose a different strategic target that must die from either: The Obsidian Sanctum, Naxxramas, The Eye of Eternity, Ulduar, Trial of the Crusader, or Icecrown Citadel.

Notably the Dalaran weekly raid quests still award 138 [Justice Points] to groups with players level 81 or higher (even though the group does not gain Justice Points when downing a Wrath boss).
