Weapon Question

Well, here’s the thing, this is supposed to be a gear-dependent game, like the first two Puzzle Quests and to some extent, Galactrix. It makes sense that mechanically I would want to upgrade my gear. But essentially none of the weapons I picked up are even uncommon. So if all the game wants to give me is common weapons, it could at least have the decency to give me the common weapon I’m currently subatomically attached to at the moment. That or more armor or accessory shards. I could really use those right now, I need to catch my armor and more so my resistance up.
