I'm at the very end of this quest, and I am finding it very hard to choose which reward to go for. I have it narrowed down to the Dragonwing Breastplate, Varkyn's Trick Ring, and the Nimble Plate Boots. I have good reasons for wanting all three of these, but I would like your opinions, which one should I choose?

I took the Dragonwing Breastplate. Mostly because the next best body armor is the Nightsong Breastplate. IMO, it just isn't worth it.

The same argument can be made for the Boots. Also, the Nimble items have the dodge ability, which no other non-raffle, non-limited item has. Also, the foot armor at Tallys has good quality at lowish prices.

I, personally, would only take the Trick Ring if I planned to donate a lot. 16 ATs seems nice, but if you think about it, the D'wing Breastplate or Nimple Plate Boots are worth much more, although you can't convert them into ATs.

Also there are several threads on this

After reading your post and taking a look at the 3 threads I'm now down to the plate and the boots, but since its so debated, I can't really ask for any help there.

Thanks for the help.

I finally decided on the boots. They way I see it is, if I get the Nightsong Breastplate, I am only loosing out on 4 SP and 3 MR since my attributes are maxed out already. If I dodge a single attack, I have most likely already made up for the slightly lower stats.

Nice necroing Thingirl. Actually [pedant] the Trick Ring gives 24 ATs. I think at one time it gave (according to the wiki iirc) 16-24 ATs.

Nice pick DarkJak and sound logic. I took the DWB for 3 of my four and Varkyn's Trick Ring on the fourth. I wasn't aware of the Nimble items till afterward. Although I'm content with all my picks including taking Varkyn's Trick Ring the DWB or Nimble Plate boots seem to be the short short list to me.

However Varkyn's Trick Ring is also a good choice. More so like TG said if one plans to donate. Or if a better "free" item or raffle win of the same category would show up.
