For any decent advice you need to share your skills/lvls, budget and goals atleast. The more you share the more specific the help can be.
Welcome back and GL

Really a basic set these days, but better than the unwashed running around in supremacy with mod merc T10.

lets start with whats ur skill lvl

 

[Nik-Elas]

Buy the Gold or Platinum Starter pack on the website and you're good to go until you've relearned the game, get a good/decent mentor, maybe join a society and also join discord. Discord is a better place imo to ask basic simple questions with helpful people around!

Don't buy any unlimited gear until you find what you want to do in game.

Collect Daily Tokens on Calypso to buy weapons that last 20,000 shots (use Extenders to get more life, 10-30% more shots) from the Daily Token trader.

Edit: You can also look at the E.L.M weapons which don't last as long but are relatively cheap to buy.

The Disciple Armor + various plate sets until you can upgrade to Viceroy on Arkadia.

Healing tool can be Vivo S10 from The Gauntlet to start.

Buy a Blueprint to manufacture you own healing tools after that, as you skill up healing you will skill up crafting. You can do this with mining finders as well, you only need the TT excavator from Next Island, it's unlimited.

Look at the wiki can find out what drops Restoration Chips for your level and you can hunt for those.

Edit: If you want more DPS look at the Arsonistic Chips and hunt for those of your level as well. Just like the Restoration Chips you can use these chips to damage/heal and immediately switch back to your weapon and continue shooting.

Keep most of your money in your IRL pocket for now, don't let these fools try to convince you otherwise (they're ready to sell you their bad decisions), unless of course you want to invest $10,000-$100,000 to forego the grind by buying skills, gear and bankroll.

You'll need to put aside about 1000PED of ammo and 1000PED of loot in your inventory per every 10DPS that your weapon does.

Can you elaborate on that? I don't understand it.

The starter pack will give you a FAP and a starter weapon which are quite good for starting out. I would recommend the platinum packs. You will get pills that give you 50% increased XP gain.

I made a youtube for this!

Can you elaborate on that? I don't understand it.

You need a bankroll for ammo as well as for stacking loot in your inventory. Don't expect to sell loot after each session of activity. This helps create a buffer, allows flexibility in stack sizes you sell and is just simple guidance to help you avoid blowing up your PED card. Don't sell anything to the Trade Terminal if you can help it. At minimum, use the Recycle function there, look at Auction Orders for Nanocubes, recycle and "sell" your common loot that way.

For what it's worth, the Starter Packs are nice but they're really unnecessary. You get a similar unlimited rifle from a mission chain and your disciple armor will replace the Harrier armor. The Vivo S10 is also a better healing tool than the starter pack and it is found through a mission as well.

If you deposit for ammo, buy strongboxes and keys instead. The 50% skill pills are nice but considering skill pills now drop during some events and if you save some keys you can open Seasonal Boxes you loot which also have skill pills included in their loot table.

Welcome back!

 

[Katie Chalmers]

Get an active mentor.
Do gauntlet for Vivo S10. Best low level fap in game and free.
Complete mentorship and graduate on calypso or next island for either Pixie adjusted, or Atlas armor respectively. Two of the best starter armors in my opinion for general use. Also free.

Weapons just skill up on TT shit or bukins rifle (obtained from starter mission) for now until you have more of an understanding of what you want to do.
Also if you buy the starter pack you get a Barbarella and an amp which is a nice TT alternative

It's the ZX Sinkadus amp; that's the only item I value in the web store so much that I had to get my 2nd recently.

 

[ColonelBuckshot]

Welcome back. Grab a starter pack and an experienced mentor and that's good enough for now when starting at 0. Enjoy.

 

[The Great Adventurer]

It's the ZX Sinkadus amp; that's the only item I value in the web store so much that I had to get my 2nd soon.

I don't see that amp as useful unless you're happy with cost of your time being calculated in PEC (Project Entropia Cents -> 0.01PED).

10 PED = $1 USD

Opportunities exist at this level but they become more prevalent as you gain the ability to hunt higher level creatures.

 

[M Rufen Power]

This isn't like top-secret information, so here is what I'd recommend. Always pick the highest DPP rating setup, and the EFF will follow.

Weapon Setups - Beginner​

Here is a table of all the best weapon setups available for beginners!

Weapon Name	Amplifier	Decay	Ammo	Cost	DPP	Range	APM	DPS

Alternative Setups - Beginner​

Here is a table of all the best alternative setups "if looted" for beginners!

Weapon Name	Amplifier	Decay	Ammo	Cost	DPP	Range	APM	DPS
Salafa G1 (L)	ZX Sinkadus	0.452	+93 =	1.382	3.017	00.00M	55	3.82

EWE EP-2 Proton (L)	ZX Sinkadus	0.442	+96 =	1.402	2.974	35.20M	74	5.14

Melee Setups - Beginner​

Here is a table of all the best melee setups for beginners!

Weapon Name	Amplifier	Decay	Uses	DPP	Range	APM	DPS
S.I. Psy-Sword	Melee Trauma Amp 1	2.809	758	2.969	04.00M	22	3.06
Maze Hammer	Melee Trauma Amp 1	2.817	252	2.961	05.00M	22	3.06
Castorian Combat EnBlade-B (L)	Melee Trauma Amp 1	3.539	550	2.946	07.00M	33	5.73

Falx	Melee Trauma Amp 1	3.809	399	2.919	04.00M	51	9.45
Labrys	Melee Trauma Amp 1	4.289	400	2.917	04.00M	44	9.17
Castorian EnKnuckles-B (L)	No Amplifier	1.202	807	2.891	03.00M	80	4.63

If you decide to skill up, I'd recommend starting with the Cyrene melee weapons; they max out under level 3. Afterwards, move to the TT weapons & UL amplifier where possible. Skilling melee has benefits to increase the Strength attribute and some health gains for hunting.

I'd gladly count things in pecs if the gains are always in peds. Enough said.
