Just to point out, while the Ultimate set is nice, with recent changes to Black Market, they can buy a full set of Wind Armor which is much better and lasts longer for 10 gold per piece. However, they really shouldn't bother with the 36 gold ultimate set as it is a waste once you get to level 50 for spirit forged. Only do evolution on partners you plan on keeping to avoid wasting time and vitality. Partners such as Rukia come to mind, Ikkaku, Kisuke, Gin, Aizen, Unohana(not so much), Hollowed Ichigo / Stark. Yoruichi is great, but don't forget Harribel also, since she comes in handy when boosting Ikkaku's combo rate via Bond. Yachiru for VIP 0 is a bad choice has you'll need to buy / save up Dodge stones to make her effective and that only really lasts til @ mid 70s depending on how high you take her dodge rate. On dead servers make a throwaway account and level it up so you can do alliance blood battle for bright stones with a 100% win rate to avoid being behind others come merges. Save Guild Chests and Common material chests as they are not level locked and will give you the material for your current level. When infusing gear always save the water from the "seats" for weapons as you will always get a lower amount of that material. Only do beauty games for Vitality or Souls, the rest of the options just aren't worth it. Best to do Souls until you unlock 10th skill, then switch over to storing Vitality for events such as UBP or SA. Zabimaru is your only real choice of zanpakuto for pve content and the pvp one should be determined by the setup of your formation for pvp.

More will come to mind later on.

That is for buying the Spirit Forge Ore needed to make better sets.

Also, best refines for armor is as follows (applies to weapons also)

Vanguard - Stamina, Strength, Block (can do Wisdom but most prefer block)

Assaulters - Strength, Agility, Stamina (or Wisdom your choice hp over def etc..)

Support -  Wisdom, Aglity, Stamina (or Strength for more def )

Stones

Vanguard - Tank type - Stamina, Strength, Wisdom, Block, Hit Rate, Counter
                 Damage Type - Stamina, Strength, Wisdom, Block, Hit Rate, Critical (or break defense, depends on who)

Assaulter - I prefer.. Strength, Wisdom, Aglity, Hit Rate, Critical, Break Defense ( socket on final sets fury)

Support - I prefer... Strength, Wisdom, Aglity, Hit Rate, Critical, Break Defense (if using fury builder and if T1 and lose the hit rate for Fury since you build fury hit or miss).

i think it's just common sense to estimate things

The idea to make a complete guide for real VIP 0 (0$ spent) is nice!!! keep it up!!!

about the Zanpakutos:
for PVP purpose, later in game, that will - of course - depends on your formation.
for instance, if you like to play in a 3 -1 -1 formation (3 Supporters - 1 Assaulter (=main) - 1 Vanguard) - i would highly recommend to switch to Ashizogi Jizo as soon as you reach lvl 75.
even in a 2 - 2 - 1 formation, do not use 1, because most people are doing it!! you have to check the pros and cons and pick the one that fits the best to your team.
(you can always switch zanpakutos anyway)

keep in mind a guide is made to "guide" you, based on players' experiences, but this is not something you necessarily have to follow line by line.
Do not hesitate to make your own experiences, mistakes, success,... as a VIP 0, you won't have to worry about about selling another kidney to catch up a mistake ;)
