If I were to get credits what would be an optimal thing to spend them on? The equipment you can buy at the lower levels (10-20) seems expensive for what Im just going to dump in 9 levels. Do people usually just get them for costume/cosmetic stuff? or are there some efficient things I can do?

for leveling I think spending em on patron for like 15 days is smart, get 40% exp boost for 2 hours a day, and more.

i agree with hareu. the xp/token bonus will far outweight any gear which can easily be crafted with the proper profession.

or maybe buy REX, you can sell it for like 800-1000p depending on server which will give u an incredible wealth as a new player.

also bag space is a good choice, like buying an extra bag slot.
