While leveling on the stress test I noticed the huge amount of gold I was getting for some quests. for example, the quest “Bring back the Mug” awarded 27 silver as a level 4 delivery quest. I’ve noticed this with other quests, “Senir’s Observations” which awarded 20 silver and 40 copper. This seems to be a widespread issue but doesn’t affect all quests. “Supplies to Tannok” awarded 6 silver and 60 copper but even that seems a little high to me.
Edit: Wowhead classic lists the reward for this quest as 50 copper, not 27 silver.

Those amounts seem very high at those levels. If my memory serves me right, quest rewards gave almost nothing (but I did level pre 1.12). I always felt vendoring and the AH were the only practical ways to earn money and that quest rewards were usually upsetting in terms of gear and money.

I made a mistake in the first post, it should be “Bring back the Mug”. On wowhead classic it has the value listed as a reward of 50 copper. So yeah, way too high.
I noticed it only after I hit 5. Maybe since they capped us at 5 it was giving us “max level” rewards.
Edit: people have been saying the same about quest rewards after hitting 30 on beta so that’s the only explanation I can think of.

Were you level capped at 5?
Quests start giving more coin once you’re capped. Usually only happens at 60 though.

Report it as a bug, may be due to the cap being at 5 on the stress test.

I’m not in the beta but I remember my experience in Classic WoW and I certainly never got my first gold under level 10… (unless it was given to me or I got really lucky with chests and using the ah)
27s per quest does seem like way more then it used to be.
This is because you were at max level (5 in the stress test) and exp get converted to currency at that point.

The quest money helped with gear Repairs and other purchases!!! I thought it was a good thing to have in the game and not change it for the tests. Unless you really want to test the economy and how it reacts with it.
If people could get more gold for quests at 60, then a epic mount would be less epic?
It doesn’t add up to much at that level. It’s just something to compensate for no benefits from XP at max levels.
As a few others have mentioned, it is because you can not obtain further XP from quests. In order to keep quests rewarding in the actual game (in which case you would actually be lvl 60), they gain a boost in obtainable currency.
