01 / DIRECT ANSWER
The unlock sits inside Chapter VII: Act I
The official Version 7.0 update notes say Snezhnaya Daily Commissions unlock as you progress through “Great Deeds on the Tundra” in Chapter VII: Act I, “Everwinter Without Mercy.” The notes do not list a separate World Quest as an additional gate.
If Act I is not available, first reach Adventure Rank 18 and complete Prologue: Act III, “Song of the Dragon and Freedom.” Exploring Snezhnaya after meeting those conditions automatically accepts Act I.
