I am a returning player. I played to max level and did some end game stuff when the game first released. And I figured Id give it another try now.
I stared a new character, and as I understand it there is a pretty significant EXP boost going on . I am currently level 63 and in Chapter 3. And I have a problem with getting level appropriate gear from the quests I complete. So I had been doing Heroics to acquire gear. But when I hit level 61 I started getting the Locked Supply Crates instead.

The game has no explanation as to what they are other than in the item description. So I took to Google and figured out that I need to complete Chapter 9 to turn these in. And the equipment is mod-able but has no mods (if I understood that correctly).
I am not entirely sure that all of that is accurate, but it seems to be from my experience. So what do I do in mean time for level appropriate gear? I havent really done any flashpoints yet. Is that really my only option?
