Gadgetzan and Steamwheedle Port quests: the Tanaris hub (Classic Era baseline)

Gadgetzan and Steamwheedle Port have quests from the low 40s to about 50, and you'll pass through them several times as you level. This guide groups them by quest giver, with IDs, levels, XP, money and item rewards, plus a suggested order.
