So anyway, if I were a new player I'd probably do things in this order right now: 1. Get a full set of blue armor, I'd start working on buying them right away even before I was level 20. (they cost credits now) 2. As soon as I had full blue armor I'd start buying blue mods for each of them. 3. Use tokens for primary weapons, things that I'd be using 90% of the time in every match (BFB, focus arm, IC, SMG, PT, etc). While saving up my money/mats for epic mods 4. After primary weapons are bought start working on epic armor with tokens. You'd probably get some armor drops between steps 2-4, but it won't be worth it to equip that armor unless it has better stats than your current armor (nbb is not better than nr) AND until you put a mod on it.

Armor doesn't matter as much in the lower bracket but it's everything in the 30+ bracket. By the time you hit 30 you should have earned more than enough to get a full rare set with probably a couple epics too. Keep in mind with the new token limits you can potentially buy up to 3 rare pieces of armor per day

GUIDE: Spending your Tokens/Credits Wisely

There's no excuse for having green armor in the 30+ bracket now.

Edit: The blue armor in that picture now costs credits, with a base cost of 5000. This means that it will cost less depending on how many stars you have. This changes things, it makes even easier for you to get this blue armor, so now that things are a little more complicated I'll change this to more of a "what would I do if I was a new player" advice type of post. But first, the most important thing for a new player now:

*** DO NOT BUY FLAIR *** ...until you have all of your gear

You can spend your money on one of two things early on:

a) Things that make you look a little cooler
b) Things that make you kick ass in real matches

Flair does not make you kick ass.

So anyway, if I were a new player I'd probably do things in this order right now:

1. Get a full set of blue armor, I'd start working on buying them right away even before I was level 20. (they cost credits now)
2. As soon as I had full blue armor I'd start buying blue mods for each of them.
3. Use tokens for primary weapons, things that I'd be using 90% of the time in every match (BFB, focus arm, IC, SMG, PT, etc). While saving up my money/mats for epic mods
4. After primary weapons are bought start working on epic armor with tokens.

You'd probably get some armor drops between steps 2-4, but it won't be worth it to equip that armor unless it has better stats than your current armor (nbb is not better than nr) AND until you put a mod on it.
