as far as gear goes, you can quest some pretty good stuff. A secondary from the claymore line (Shield of Bylze), a primary from Grizzlefazzles Errands (Grizzlefazzles Walking stick), boots from the HQ Saving Soles, a hat from Eye for Power, another hat from Blood of the Brood (Hoo'Loh Hat) pants that you can make (Hoo'luk imbued pants), belt from HQ (+int girdle thingy majiggy), a ring from claymore series, many many different robes (such as nest's fabled robe), so on and so forth. There is alot of gear to be quested, and what you don't get as a reward or drop you can buy with the plat you saved.
Hope that helps a bit more :smileyhappy:
