The quest reward that is potentially the most improved in 1.10 is A5Q5 (Ancients).
It seems that it has gone from adding points to your Experience to a flat bump of 1 level. For a low-level character, like level 20 in Normal, this is a major drop in value of the reward.
BUT, what if you skip the tasks until much later in your character development? It's pretty easy to do, and still move on to the next area. All you need to do is kill the Ancients before you hit level 20/40/60 in Normal/NM/Hell, and you have legitimately gained access to the next area. There are also other ways to skip the Ancients.
Then, if you want to be first kid on the block to hit level 99, just do the Ancient Quests once you hit level 96. From a long and arduous task, getting those last three levels normally, you could blow through it in about a half hour, tops. Doing it this way would make the 3 rewards worth the equivalent of 803,062,757 experience points.
