Help me please, im a level 8 human soldier, a nice women gave me 200,000 credits for some reason, which is a lot when im only a level 8 lol, but as im a complate noobie i have no idea what i should buy, im in old anthens and i have checked in the genral shops and can afford all the items, just cant use them so please help, what are good items i should purchase and where?

Thanks in advance

Save those credits. At level 8 you don't really need any of them. But soon there will be time when you'll have to buy nanos, weapons, armor and implants. Most of those you can blitz (even if higher ql than you), but credits can save you some time/effort. You'll also get a feeling about prices, thus lowering chances of closing bad deal.

Oh, only thing you should buy is Med suit...with some patience you can catch peeps that are selling full suits for ca 30-50k.

Here's a tip that saved me from totally gimping (= make weak) my characters: Look for a friendly org with low/medium/high level players and ask a fellow soldier to help you get started.
Also, have a look in the Profession's forum at the official AO site (if you have any of the expansions) or on AOFroobs (if you're a free player, like me. They call us Froobs. Go figure huh?).

Enjoy the game!

Tepamina, one of our researchers on AOU, has written a fantastic soldier guide. You can find part one here. Maybe after reading that you will have a better idea of what items/equipment you think would be a good idea and then you will have a better knowledge of where and how to spend your credits.

Thanks very much, that helps, yep gess im a froob then

... and if all else fails, give the money to me! hehehehe

Just kidding of course

Fr00b=Free n00b... lol, I started out that way myself.

200k is nice for your first character (char) but trust me, it's not a lot of money!

You will be needing Implants, Nanos & Armour.
These are gonna eat that 200k fast, which server are you on by the way?

(Being in OA means you picked the right side at least! lol)

if you're on rk1, please feel free to send me a /tell if you have any soldier questions

Agreed

Save those creds its hard if ur froob to earn em

Yeah, save em.
Buy a decent assault rifle that'll see you through, the best implants you can handle, and just stash the rest and 'forget' about it...You'll -really- need it later. And remember, you can always roll for better armor and whatnot via clicksaver and missions.
