The stuff ive been picking up is worthless or doesn't have the right stats, they should make quest rewards automatically suitable for your stats you chose, though there are few gear that i can upgrade but i have to choose one of my stats to upgrade while the other 2 stats are downgraded

There are three self-levelling and self-adjusting sets in Q store with faily low price 11k Q per part. Together it's a 66k for the whole set. They are comparable with nemesis heirloom gear and also have certain buffs and resistances not present on nemesis heirlooms. Those sets are also giving an XP boost.

Gear at low levels doesn't mean much, to be honest. Once your toon hits level 31+, you can start getting two slot blue gear (with one or two stats already) as rare mob drops. Likewise, at level 31+, you get purple secondaries as rare mob drops. Those types of gear work well enough until level 40, especially if you use the AH, too.
Whoever you are, be that person one hundred percent. Don't compromise on your identity.
The resources you get from lvl 40 missions as mission rewards, such as UNITY content, is laughable... not even 1G for the whole thing
Doing bursts is also a waste of time for lvl 40, since at best you can get 1 lvl 4 mod... It would be far more worthy if you could get rewards depending on your level...
On the other hand, things like Mars Stims and stars are still sold at the old resource levels. Tailoring changes and retcons are priced at the old levels, too. Since a rare drop can often be sold for 50-1000 G, you can easily pay for these things in game; much more easily than before Alert.
Heck, at level 40, a character can play three Day at the Mall alerts in about 15 minutes and walk away with 10-12 G. There was no way to make resources that quickly before On Alert.
That still reinforces the OP, which was that the standard mission awards are simply lousy and too low valued.

primary offence level 20
primary defence level 23
The worst gear rewards are MI from Mling, Major Kwame, prof Bushef(the one near kwame) they have such weird stat combos on the gear.
Theres still missions where the drop from the boss is old gear.

It also means you get a lot more money taking the random item boxes over the specific awarded items if you get a choice and are just going to vendor them anyway.
Yep. It also means that getting a single point of Recognition will net you more resources, because the relevant consumable item sells for more than the gear award.

Sometimes mission rewards are useable but only if you do them at exactly the right point. I still check the stats though, just in case.

Yup since On Alert the bog standard gear has been abysmally pants.

They all thought I was out of the game....But I'm holding all the lockboxes now..
I'll......FOAM FINGER YOUR BACK!
I try to determine what the likely mods in slotted quest rewards are, then strip the mods from them and keep those. If there's no modded gear in the rewards table, I take the equipment box - its contents will almost always vendor higher. If there's neither, I take the recognition reward.
Ever since I got my Nemesis Heirloom gear, I never slot anything else until I get to level 40.

Um... Last time I tried anything like that, I got a "This mod cannot be fused" error. I'd like to know how you're pulling that off.
Admittedly, I did that with the mods that come out of the random boxes from the Recognition vendor, but they're the same thing, AFAIK.

AntiProton's biggest mistake though was that he severely misjudged how the economy in the game would turn out. But yea, he had fun ideas for items. Not to mention that the old items had some hilarious descriptions.

Gimme a better and bigger carrot to do missions, guys >:C

I've stripped a few mods from quest gear but I have to admit I didn't always check.
Once I got Heirloom primary gear I did realise that I could happily sell my Soldier alt's primary gear though.

Then again the whole itemization system is junk. The best gear is gamble box gear followed by daily quest welfare gear. Everything else is kind of redundant except the Nemesis set for levelling
I wouldn't call it 'welfare gear'. It's just extremely, extremely easy to get (Silver Champion Tokens via running UNITY, get enough for a full set of Primary gear in 6 days). And it's uber-powerful.

But that's the very definition of welfare isn't it?
If that's the definition of welfare every office worker gets a welfare check and not a paycheck.
You still have to get the SCR tokens to buy it from the vendors themselves or whatever resource other players demand for it, it doesn't show up automatically in your mail (unless you purchased it with another character and then sent it to yourself) when you hit 40.
That's unconditional welfare. Conditional welfare, where the subject has to meet some basic requirements, e.g. spending ~1 hour/day searching for wor... err... doing pointless quests that pose minimal challenge, also exists.
By virtue of requiring minimal effort and performing the role of a basic standard of gear readily attainable by all level 40 characters to ensure a minimum level of performance/quality of life for the character, Heroic gear qualifies as welfare gear in my book.
Wouldn't you believe I used the starter primary gear all the way to 40 on one of my alts? :rolleyes: I only upgraded my secondaries from time to time.

I could totally see that to be honest.

I still have few alts using pre Alert gear. I was too lazy to switch Nemesis Heirloom gear everytime. It's just villain mobs missed their On Alert unpgrades.

For all three pieces? That is hard to believe unless you're levelling through Alerts only. (Particularly, it seems unlikely you never do a mission that offers up a decent primary defense.)
For one of the three primaries? I'm almost tempted to think it's par for the course. (Does any mission actually offer good primary offense gear?)
