What the beta server told the client about each quest that sends you into Wailing Caverns: the task, its objectives, who hands it out and who takes it in where the quest's own wording or the beta log names them, and the rewards, with item names, money and experience from the client tables. ★ marks quests that did not exist in Classic Era; Wowhead has no page for those yet. Every quest also has a page of its own.
