Only the raid bosses that may drop a few rares, fabled gear, and masters. Other than that, you're limited to the lowered economy. The good news is that you won't find items at the Broker selling for 30,000pp.
I think there's a quest in Desert of Flames that winds up granting a lot of cash as the reward, some folks have posted it was 2pp. The name of the quest escapes me, but it was a hard quest in a series of hard quests.
I remember the good old days of taking my 49 BST to Rathe Mountains and whomping on some hill giants. Those suckers would drop 5-25pp each time. My time there was limited only by the amount of coin I could carry. I always destroyed copper, and even destroyed silver to make room for more gp and pp.
Many months ago I went back to EQ1 to run my BST through Rathe again, for old time sake. I ran through Nek Forest with ease, but upon zoning into Rathe, during the black log screen, I heard some whacks, a yelp, and a thud. When my screen finally came to, my Barbarian body was strewn on the ground at the feet of several trolls. :(
