What to use currency on?

[mw281192]

I don't get time to research all of this info so wondering if someone would have some quick advice! Wondering what to spend and buy first. Currently on 165 gear score, what gear/weapon should I aiming for and what do is the best thing to use... Ph Cred, Credits and DZ credits on?

Thanks for any advice!

PXC are only used to buy items from the Special Gear Vendor in your Base of Operations. Credits I'd personally hang on to as many of those as you can to be able to re-calibrate any of your gear items you get. DZ Credits are used at any DZ Vendor but as you go along and buy the higher gear score items you will find your self spending 150k to 300k pretty quickly so again stock up on those as well.

As for what you should buy it depends on the kind of player / build you are trying to become. I personally think Gear should be a priority over weapons first because you can have a god roll weapon and still get dropped before you know what hit you because or the poor gear you have on. Gear gives you, IMO, way more bonuses than weapons for your overall character in terms of damage resistance, crit hit dmg/chance, additional armor, and skill bonuses. 

Again just my $0.02

If you're level 30, then don't spend cash on anything but re calibrations. Go hit a few DZ loops for a few days. Grind bosses and you'll have a full DZ stash of 30 in no time flat. You'll be able to pick through those items and slowly upgrade your gear. Once you have enough phoenix credits (from the DZ or farming challenging missions/dailies), then start buying and crafting blueprints. Crafting is usually more fruitful than buying a gear/weapon with pre-determined talents/stats. DZ farming will also net you a good deal of materials you will need for crafting. Save ALL DZ credits for high end blue prints, as they all cost 200k+. Once you're around gear score 175 or so, start farming the hard mode incursion from people on the main Discord server (link is above). Steer clear of PUGs (pick up groups).

If you've got 814 PxC's now there's a very nice 204 gs AUG smg at the BOO. If you don't and want to get it better hurry, stock changes Friday at 7 I believe.

Save your PXC for fridays...new 204 weapons are posted each week at the b.o.o.s special vendor upstairs in the tech wing. They cost a ton (800+), so stockpiling is a necessity. Once you hit the cap of 1000 PXC, buy 1-2 blueprints sold there as well, then get back to the cap. Repeat as necessary. Don't just buy one BECAUSE it's 204, buy it because it's better than what you have, and it's a weapon class you already like with decent talents.

Save your DZ currency too. The best BPs or weps/gear cost a few hundred thousand each...no sense buying the cheaper things when the goal is leveling up to get the top end. By the time you get enough in rank and currency to afford the top end, it'll likely be better stuff than is there now...try not to plan for a specific thing you see at the vendors.

Regular currency, that's for re-calibration. Unless your gear piece has a gear score of 182 or higher, don't bother with it, just keep hoarding currency. No sense wasting cash on things you'll throw away in a week/few days. You could extend that thinking to 191 to be safer still.

If there's pieces you're missing, running vanilla challenge modes will fill you out on PXC and standard currency (lexington event center on challenge is the best/fastest way to come by either) AND get you 182/191 drops, or run the DZ for drops (and DZ rank/currency).
