3 Points Light Armor (Rank 2)
(Increases drop rates for Armored Up magazines).
1 Point in Lockpicking.
(Increases drop rates for Forge Ahead & The Great Heist book series.
IMPORTANT!!! *Stop reading Forge Ahead's after 10 of them to be safe.
It caps out at 12 magazines).
Then 1 more rank in Light Armor [Cost-2pts] at level 3.
I usually have Legendary Armor unlocked by day 10.
Save your Armored Up magazines until you get Photographic Memory - after reading 10 to unlock level 6 primitive.

I do not believe lockpicking helps the forge ahead mags anymore. I know it used to. But i have not checked the xml files either.

Going for armor books is prolly the optimal play, much like @Rooster Gold there describes ... but boy, if I ever need to do another magazine grind ... /sigh.
So, I don't. The other optimum is combat focused, something like:
3/10 attrib, 2/5 weapon. Optimally sledge, but might use something else.
Maybe some utilities (Miner69er, 1-3 points)
Into 5/10 attrib, 3/5 weapon.
Maybe some cheap utilities (Pack Mule, Parkour, Siphoning Strikes)
Into 10/10, 5/5 weapon + weapon extra + mastery.
(Agi takes full pistols early, other trees might take a couple gun points, but usually not.)
