== Content ==
			New to Wildstar, just hit 50 and a little overwhlemed with all the various ways to get gear at 50.  What would be the quickest and most efficient path to get enough gear to start raiding?  The more specific the better.  Thanks!

			There are glory vendors that give ilvl78 stuff, dungeons give i80 I think? I mean, your basic pre-raid gear will be i80, just look for info on what stats you need and make sure to put the best possible green/blue runes in.

Go Veteran Expeditions till you got all on Gold for that extra AMP Point and some gear. Then go for some Veteran Adventures, followed by Veteran Dungeons. Maybe get some crafted Gear from the AH if you got the Bucks.
 
The most important thing is to get a Weapon with high Assault Power, it is super effective. Don't know where they drop nowadays, just keep in mind that this one piece of gear makes up for almost 90% of your Assault Power. :)

get a guild and do vet dungeons with them. i mean you want to raid anyway so you need a guild. ask in gchat/ts and do the content with them. they mostly will outgear the content so it does not matter that you are undergeared for dungeons. and they will rather take a future raidmember with them and help him than some random via the dungeonfinder.
 
If you dont have a guild do what charmz81 said. if you want to pug do your part and get ready via easier content first before getting your BiS gear in dungeons.
you can always do the solo pve lvl 50 content (contracts for weapon for example, daily zone grinding (also good way to get gold+gear)) if you dont find groups or wait in a qeue.

			I wouldn't jump right into vet dungeons as a fresh 50 if I were you. Unless you have a group that can carry you. The vet dungeons will push you to the limit in terms of having to deal with mechanics, but on top of that a number of the fights are pure dps/gear checks which you will most definitely fail if you're still in quest greens/blues. I'd run some vet expeditions and adventures first and start collecting mats for runes. PvP gear is also relatively easy to get and pretty decent, though you might run into some players that will scoff at you for going into a dungeon with PvP gear so be ready for that.
