Quests10 seen in the beta

The quests players have taken in the beta so far. The rewards are read from the beta client and may change before release. The dungeon quests guide says where to take each one before you go in.

Faction	Quests	Experience in the beta	In Classic	What it is worth
Alliance	4	22,500 XP	New quests	about 1.5 levels at level 15
Horde	6	29,800 XP	New quests	about 2 levels at level 15

These figures count the level 30 build of October 1, which halved what dungeon quests give beyond a normal quest. Only the quests count here, not the kills, and a quest far below your level gives less.
