Jones is guaranteed to come with the Treasure Hunter trait, which doubles the amount of gold you can get from missions. He also has the Mentor trait, which essentially allows followers less than level 100 to function as though they were level 100. This is big for a couple of reasons:
1) Obviously this allows you to use lower level followers on higher level missions that they would otherwise not be able to help with
2) More importantly, it allows them to receive all of the experience from the higher level missions, as opposed to the normal 10% if they are below level.
#2 makes leveling new followers up to level 100 really fast. On Laktose, where all my followers are already 100, epic, most have maxed armor/weapon upgrades, and I don't have the inn, this isn't a big deal. On Piffle (my mage), where I just got the Inn to level 3 and am now recruiting a new follower every week (they start at 90), this is a big deal! I now have 3 new followers from the Inn on Piffle and this will allow me to get them up to speed in a fraction of the time, allowing them to do the worthwhile missions quicker. You can see this quest is level 100 and normally rewards 60 gold:
Jones alone bumps the reward to 120 ... but he also allows me to use Ruthia, who is only level 95, as if she were level 100. I ended up getting 180 gold from this quest!
The only slow / annoying part about these daily quests is that they are random - so despite trying to finish up Harrison Jones for over a week, it wasn't until Sunday that the quest I needed was selected. You can use the LFG tool to search for people who have the Jones quests in their garrison to speed the process along (the daily quest is the same for all servers, so there's no need to check multiple servers for a different quest).
