The colour of the gear shouldn't be your driver. You can easily upgrade anything except jewellery, since upgrade materials for those are quite a bit more expensive than for armour and weapons. But certain dungeons have some of the best 5-piece sets and 2-piece (helmet and shoulders) monster sets in the game. In some dungeons, getting certain harder achievements in has rewarded cosmetics such as skins. You can also get motif pieces from the last boss in some dungeons, with the drop rate depending on the difficulty setting (normal, veteran, veteran hard mode).
The only mount I'm aware of that you can earn through group content is in Sunspire, a 12-person trial, and you need to earn the hardest possible achevement there, so it's not for everyone.
Does this mean that I can upgrade an armor that I crafted at level 5 and it can be better than my lvl 50 armor?
Trials are 12-man content, as opposed to being laid out for 4 people like dungeons and most arenas.
Aside from purple gear, veteran dungeons also drop monster helmets on the last boss, which are part of a 2-piece item set. Other than the gear, it's pretty much all character customisation cosmetics (whether all you need to do is set foot into the dungeon or complete difficult achievements varies).
I should try those things once I reach CP.
About those monsters sets, should I sell them in a guild or should I keep them?

What's a trial?
What's a trial?
I love the notion that there’s someone already moaning about the quality of dungeon loot who isn’t quite sure what a trial is.
I think you may have peaked a little too early there dude.
If all you’re after is a flash mount and cosmetics, you’d be better off looting the Crown Store. Just avoid those Crown crates.
