Better loot?

Hello,

Very simple question, how do you get better loot?
The game only gives me crap where I can’t do anything with it (not even with crafting).

I am now lvl 85 and am still in normal monos (with a bit of corruption) because it is not enough to run empowered…

I was like that back in the EA phase, I’m probably just unlucky again.

CoF doesn’t help either so far.
