Right now this system feels kinda bait-and-switchy. Hopefully it gets better.
It didn't get better.

So I'm 60 now... bought the NQ mainhand, bought NQ offhand at 59, was able to pick up level 60 NQ head and hands. Everything else was either HQ only or the NQ cost as much as the HQ. In either case the available piece was beyond my ability to purchase it.

Currently sitting at:
Gathering 492
Perception 493
GP 575

Just tried for the lowest level scrip item for the day (light kidney ore) with perception/gp food........444 collectability was the best I could scrape. This is lower than the required level of 450 to obtain scrip from the LOWEST LEVEL ITEM.

So I think my earlier position stands at this point.. the scrip system was intended, or at least it was stated, to be an alternative to purchasing expensive gear or expensive melds from the MB. It has failed. Badly. I cannot obtain scrip WITHOUT expensive gear and/or expensive melds. So the thing that's supposed to be an alternative to doing that, requires that in order to do it. Epic fail.
