How a daily board is drawn

14 September 2026

Standard gives you your own random boss order every run. Daily gives everyone on a spec the same board for the day: twenty-five bosses in a fixed order, three rerolls, one run. Because the board is shared, the parse ranks cleanly against everyone else who played it, and because it is one run, the board is a puzzle rather than a grind. This is how that board comes to exist.

One seed per day per spec

Each day's board for each spec is drawn from its own seed, made from the date and the spec. Two specs on the same day get different boards; the same spec on the same day gets the same board on every machine, so staging and production agree and a board can be regenerated exactly if it ever has to be.

The draw picks bosses at the raid odds the game uses everywhere, then orders them by breadth: how many slots, across every spec, a boss could fill from an empty character. A board that opens on bosses that offer a lot for many specs and narrows towards the end is one where early picks matter and late picks are tight, which is the shape a good draft has. Breadth is a fact about the boss, not about any one spec, and it counts every spec with files, including one still behind a staging flag, so the ordering only ever moves once, when a spec's files land.

Solved before anyone plays it

A drawn board is not stored as it is. It is solved first: the model plays the best line it can find through the real draft code, the same take and reroll a player uses, and records the parse that line reaches. That number is the board's ceiling. If no line clears a floor, the board is rejected and never served. Since 8 September the ceilings for the banked days sit around 98 to 99, with a 100 available on somewhere between a fifth and a quarter of days depending on the spec, so a near-perfect run is there if you find it and a 100 is earned, not handed out.

Thirty days in the bank

Boards are drawn and solved thirty days ahead, one row per spec per day, by a loop on the server, so the board for a given day exists long before the day does. That is what lets supporters go back and play a past board: it was a real board, solved and served, and a practice run on it is just a run on a board that has closed.

A banked day is redrawn only if nobody has played it. When a spec is added, breadth changes and every unplayed day is redrawn once so the new spec's board fits the same ordering as everyone else's. A day that has been played is never touched; changing a board underneath a finished run would make its stored rolls describe a board that never existed.

One run per class

From 1.19, with Warrior the first class to have two specs, a Daily day is one run per class: pick Arms or Fury for the day, and Warrior is done. Your day total is your best five classes. Boards are still per spec, both warrior boards exist and rank on their own, you just play one of them. Volume should not buy rank, and Daily is meant to stay a short ritual.
