(1) The only usable gear that's grey is your starter armour on start-at-1 characters. Higher colour-strength gives better stat mixes by adding more 'tertiary' stats (accuracy/alacrity/crit OR absorb/defense/shield). (Greens that require level 75 cost more to remove than greens that require level 70, for example.) The stats *total* is determined by the *rating* (the 268 or 258), while the cost to rip a mod-object is determined by a combination of strength-colour and requires-level. Yellow > Purple > Blue > Green > White > Grey(1) at the same requires-level. What am I not understanding? I can't seem to find any article or forum that tells me this.

Why does a mod with worse stats cost more to remove? I thought that mods quality was Purple > Yellow > Green. Where as the yellow mod costs almost 55k. The green mod is being indicated as having better stats but only costs 6k to remove from my weapon.

On my pyrotech/bounty hunter I have a green mod, level 268, and a yellow mod that is level 258. Ok so I am having trouble understanding mod colors, ranks/levels and cost of removing mods from armor/weapons.
