Ye true

[atomic abyss]

she and her meta form both have +2 cv rld tech
the only ones

[steady beacon]

Imagine me forgetting CV RLD tech

[hard mesa]

hiryuu got hit right?

[steady beacon]

Hiryuu is indeed ACC

[atomic abyss]

uh, you can get them to assist you for meta showdowns when you're low level i guess

[zinc turret]

ooooooo i never tried meta showdown yet thho

[steady beacon]

You can also use the beyond awful ingame messaging system

[abstract latch]

Whats the best way to get ship gear?

[atomic abyss]

research and operation siren

[steady beacon]

Depends on your stage of the game

[atomic abyss]

for a new player, (free) tech boxes i guess

[fresh tangle]

Ah yeah I’m stupid. I’ve already got white

[zinc turret]

t4 tech box noice

[atomic abyss]

don't buy them with coins tho

[steady beacon]

It's gonna be a crane

[abstract latch]

Why?

[steady beacon]

Not worth it

[atomic abyss]

there are more important things to spend coins on

like upgrading your merchant and canteen

[zinc turret]

yeah lb , retro too

[abstract latch]

Ok

How do you increase a ship's damage anyway? Aside from using good gear

[atomic abyss]

increase levels, level up their skills

[steady beacon]

The topic of increasing a ship's damage is literally a whole wiki page, in a sense

[zinc turret]

basically upgrading skill , level , enhance , limit break retrofit

[abstract latch]

Ok, how do you increase your commander lvl then? Just by battling?

[atomic abyss]

yes

[abstract latch]

Ok

Btw when i do a stage right, and I've killed the boss, sometimes it said that only 50% of the threat was removed or smtg, do i need to 3 star it or do i just need to kill the boss again?

[zinc turret]

yeah u have to clear the stage few times to 100% it

[steady beacon]

Kill the boss again

[abstract latch]

Ah

Thats good to know ig, I've always thought i needed to 3 star it

[steady beacon]

100% and 3-star are related, but ultimately separate
To 100% a stage, you just need to clear (defeat the boss a set number of times)
To 3-star, you need to complete the three requirements

1. Defeat the boss once (will be achieved as part of clearing)
2. Sink a set number (indicated) of mob fleets (can be in multiple clearings)
3. Sink every enemy on the map in one clear

[abstract latch]

Also what happens when a ship ran out of ammo? It can't shoot anymore? Or is the damage just reduced?

[steady beacon]

Out of ammo = -50% DMG dealt

[abstract latch]

Ahh

[steady beacon]

But they can still shoot, despite being "out" of ammo

[abstract latch]

I see i see

In that case I'll leave my 2nd fleet to rot

[zinc turret]

well they still can do emotional damage even without ammo

u will need 2nd fleet eventually

like arround at 6th world i guess

[abstract latch]

My 2nd fleet suck doe

[zinc turret]

when the boss aint appear after 4 fleet destroyed

[abstract latch]

Barely does damage

[zinc turret]

if the boss appear after u kill 5 fleet and u didnt have ammo left ur main fleet will have 50% damage against the boss which aint ideal

[crimson glacier]

but it might still be better than doing a 2nd fleet too early

[zinc turret]

yeah just focus at 1 at early

at world 6 my 2nd fleet was barely strong enough to kill 1 mob so my main fleet still have ammo after 5 battle iirc

and u will really need 2 fleet if u want to 3 star thhe stage from stage 8 i think

[abstract latch]

Aite

[ocean pilot]

So mogador is equal or better to shimakaze and laffey II?

[abstract latch]

Im still at 5 cuz I didn't know how to use the t1 exp thing until today

[zinc turret]

well u can just chill , no need to rush

[crimson glacier]

doesnt seem nearly as good as laffey 2 imo

[inland shoal]

Shima is a torp nuker, Laffey is tanky allrounder, Mogador is gun dps, can't rly compare them imo

[crimson glacier]

but you can compare how useful that is

[zinc turret]

better than portland ?

[crimson glacier]

portland is more useful

[wind hazel]

[crimson glacier]

you need a tank and mog cant tank

[zinc turret]

dayum really ?

[novel condor]

Yepv

[willow tulip]

Who would u guys recommend in the early summon/special invitation envelope?

[zinc turret]

depend on what u need really

[willow tulip]

Oh my b I’ll see pins

[hallow iron]

Probably not a gameplay help question but does the rental ticket expire? If I never use them? (I want to hoard)

[atomic abyss]

yes, they expire at the end of the event

About my Owari AA Gun, any good AA gun for her???

[tame jungle]

Quite literally good enough gear on bel lol

[lament hazel]

Is it the STAAG? Bofors?

[strange sphinx]

so just need level those

[atomic abyss]

yeah staag bofors

[strange sphinx]

sad to say that, I don't have enough mats

[hard mesa]

staag

[tame jungle]

Yeah sure you can level those to +10 and it’ll be fine

[steady beacon]

Hides the ungodly number of +13 STAAGs

[lament hazel]

How about this?

[eternal basalt]

+13 STAAG for PvP

[strange sphinx]

[lament hazel]

And the 4th Panel of the gear setting one is the culprit of why the heck my gear is shitty back then

[steady beacon]

Nah, if I may be honest, my main motivation was +3% Siren Killer

[atomic abyss]

the 3rd row is by far the worst...

the 4th is fine by comparison

[steady beacon]

Anti-light armour + main with confetti cannon

[lament hazel]

ok

[steady beacon]

Also "burst damage" is beyond hilarious as a tag...

[lament hazel]

Is this one good enuff?

[hard mesa]

at least better than +13 secondary

[atomic abyss]

yes it is good enough

[inland shoal]

Idk, at least apart from the main gun the gear is pretty fine on number 3, on number 4 you have the hpfcr and nothing else

[atomic abyss]

twin 381 isn't that bad...

Huh? Change my XB3C to Tenrai

[crisp estuary]

Yes

[zinc turret]

yes

[crisp estuary]

Put the XB3C on another carrier you use

[steady beacon]

Haku loves her Tenrai and the Tenrai loves her Haku

[inland shoal]

Weird way to spell katana but ok

[cobalt rapids]

consider lvling ur ships in sorties aswell and not only boost with books to 125

[inland shoal]

(Or dorm or OpSi or whatever you used)

[atomic rock]

is purple f4u better than purple hellcat

[cobalt rapids]

i meant for aff

[atomic abyss]

yes

[steady beacon]

Ngl, Idk if she loves her katana so much as she is cripplingly dependent on it
Is that love? Discuss.

[inland shoal]

Yes and I mentioned 2 other methods they might have used other than books

[lament hazel]

Rate me this Souryuu

Also why Souryuu > Hiryuu

[inland shoal]

That don't rly give affi

[cobalt rapids]

yes i en, gomen

[atomic rock]

Should i just move to b2 instead for the dd gun, since i got bearn drop alrd?

[inland shoal]

I wouldn't farm for that dd gun tbh

[topaz smelt]

What even drops from b2

[atomic rock]

purp dd gun, toolbox

[sharp socket]

opsi stronghold pain in the ass to deal with

[lament hazel]

Oh ok time to roll then

[atomic abyss]

purple 138 is shit

gold 138 is... alright

[sharp socket]

need to heal after every fight and if lose a fight massive debuff

[tame jungle]

Then don’t lose

[sharp socket]

really bad when i need to do the last boss in multiple tries

[steady beacon]

Anecdotally, the D2 gold print drop rate is also crap, so Idek if that would be a good idea even if you were doing D2 tbh...

[atomic rock]

its b2 not d2 btw

[topaz smelt]

Level ships, upgrade gear

[atomic abyss]

b2 would be purple 138 i think?

[atomic rock]

ya

[crimson glacier]

no gold drops before hard mode

[hallow iron]

Do i need to 3 star the hard mode stage to get guaranteed reward of gold retrofit reward?

[inland shoal]

Tf are you gonna do with a purple 138

[atomic abyss]

yes

[steady beacon]

Ye then definitely not

[novel condor]

Use it ig

[atomic rock]

not much of options, since im new

[atomic abyss]

best for new players is the purple twin 120

[topaz smelt]

How many event pts are you at

[atomic rock]

30k

[hard mesa]

prob twin120mm from boxes better

[novel condor]

I mean that's always the case when you low level soooo just cope with it for now, your ships will get stronger over time with more levels n better gears

[cobalt rapids]

having a properly lvled and geared mob and 1 boss fleet allows u to do 95% of opsi content
ure rly only locked out of hard arbiter and possible zombie sirens

[sharp socket]

but my ships are all 120

[novel condor]

What bout their gear?

[topaz smelt]

Iirc 35k was the next good reward?

[sharp socket]

lemme get the sheet

[novel condor]

Those Zombie sirens were pain in the butt back then

[atomic rock]

im trying to hit 50k

Im just not sure if i should farm toolboxes and ddgun on b2 or keep doing b3 for catapult

[still gate]

i believe you get ur bulin on 30k

why would you go further?

[strange sphinx]

[still gate]

is there something good?

[atomic rock]

dr print

[cobalt rapids]

shop as needed or gold plates milestones

[atomic rock]

[topaz smelt]

Not really worth it's gold plates at 55k that's worth chasing

[cobalt rapids]

whats ur question

[strange sphinx]

good or Need some changes?

[cobalt rapids]

can be good can be improved and might need changes depending on content

[still gate]

i dunno. i will stop once i get ur bulin. only 1 left to mlb alsace. i am unsure if 4 dr blueprints worth it

[strange sphinx]

mostly boss oriented fleet

[sharp socket]

this my opsi fleet

[topaz smelt]

Implac gear changes with the fleet

[cobalt rapids]

like we said its the gold plates, the dr prints arent worth

[steady beacon]

Her gear will depend on (1) who she's fighting and (2) who she's with

[topaz smelt]

Btd sucks ass

[strange sphinx]

technically.... she is just the only CV in that fleet, the other two are Musashi and NJ

[south sequoia]

Do you not havr any helldivers at hand?

[cobalt rapids]

use helldivers on enty, staag on backline not on helena
rest is fine

[topaz smelt]

Helena shouldn't have sg

[south sequoia]

Then her gear should be fine on her own for medium/heavy armored bosses

[atomic rock]

I guess id just stick to b3 for more purp hellcat, cuda ,and catapult?

[sharp socket]

would you like a suisei instead

[south sequoia]

Implacable is flexible

[topaz smelt]

Helldiver

[south sequoia]

Helldiver

[novel condor]

Helldiver

[strange sphinx]

hmmmm should I change Super heavy ammo with gild Fire control or just stay, (Don't have the Rainbow fire control)

[topaz smelt]

Doesn't really matter

[cobalt rapids]

depends but hit and firing faster is generally more appreciated

[strange sphinx]

oh welk I have spare gold fire control

[sharp socket]

i doubt the plane is going to change my damage from 25 bars to 100

[cobalt rapids]

what are u fighting

[sharp socket]

the lv128 opsi stronghold last boss

[topaz smelt]

The plane is significantly better regardless

[novel condor]

it would still be better than that dive bomber u have currently

[cobalt rapids]

nvm, i confused u with the implac person

[strange sphinx]

are fighting mob or boss?

[sharp socket]

boss

[topaz smelt]

So where's the boss fleet

[strange sphinx]

hmmm should I push the story in opsi or just farm C6 level in the first part of the map?

[novel condor]

Oh the stronghold boss, y not just leave n repair n port n just keep spamming your fleets into the boss?

[sharp socket]

its this thing

[cobalt rapids]

finish opsi story

[strange sphinx]

hmmm ic ic

[cobalt rapids]

go to port, heal and come back

[novel condor]

Finish story first then Farm C6 and 5

[sharp socket]

this is the boss fleet theres my best vanguard in there

[novel condor]

Legit do this

[strange sphinx]

I mean I have C6 in my first part so

[blissful hamlet]

is little frederich any good?

[sharp socket]

if u mean my normal boss fleet i tried that and they did less damage because dead faster

[atomic abyss]

good for a brand new player, that's all

[novel condor]

She good for new players that's all

[inland shoal]

I mean if you need to get rid of ap fast cuz of reset ig just farm c5 now, but there's little reason not to do the story

[plain saffron]

how decent is she

[atomic abyss]

145% main gun efficiency is... very impressive for a purple BB...

that's the same as Vanguard lol

[frank pulsar]

its higher than spoot

[novel condor]

I mean, that's how it is, you can still just repair back at port and try again

[jaunty vault]

heres a hot take, lil fdg is better than hood

[atomic abyss]

that is hot lol

[jaunty vault]

[wind hazel]

little ships can do cdc right?

[strange sphinx]

Hmmm farming this rn

[atomic abyss]

they can

[inland shoal]

Anything that has the right nation can. So yes

[atomic abyss]

just farm c5....

[novel condor]

Smh Goober

[blissful hamlet]

better farm C5

[wind hazel]

then it's basically a godsend for newbies, 1 less ship to look out for IB main fleet grind

[strange sphinx]

genuine question? Why?

[inland shoal]

Unless you're farming for stars

[hard mesa]

less AP

[strange sphinx]

ah less AP

[blissful hamlet]

lower AP cost but same chance of finding cat nodes as C6

[strange sphinx]

ic ic

[sharp socket]

this thing takes a long fking while

[novel condor]

Normal

[crimson glacier]

it gets easier when you get better ships and gear

should just rush fdg

[sharp socket]

im building fdg

[atomic abyss]

on the other hand, doesn't solve IB tech issues

[sharp socket]

i feel like i should 125 soyuz

[crimson glacier]

you should

[novel condor]

Would help u a lot yes

[sharp socket]

although i feel like cv does more consistent damage than bb

[crimson glacier]

do you really know either

[sharp socket]

because their attacks cover the whole map

[crimson glacier]

thats not how it works

[sharp socket]

while soyuz can hit them once and miss the rest

[crimson glacier]

the good dmg CV setups can easily miss 99% of their dmg

BBs need a lot less support to hit

[sharp socket]

hood barrage also hits the whole map

[crimson glacier]

that doesnt really matter at all

it doesnt do the same dmg to all spots

[sharp socket]

if it doesnt hit how can it do damage ??

[cobalt rapids]

most of the dmg for bb is from the gun itself not barrage aswell

[crimson glacier]

coz most of the dmg on hood barrage is on a small spot in the middle

yeah it hits up and down too but thats really really low dmg

[inland shoal]

stuff that hits everywhere is good for clearing stragglers. Those usually aren't that tanky

[crimson glacier]

basically the larger aoe you hit the smaller the dmg is

atleast thats how it often goes

[sharp socket]

yeah so more consistent

[crimson glacier]

no

[steep merlin]

Are sailing frigates good?

[atomic abyss]

let's put it this way

[crimson glacier]

aoe isnt good dmg, its consitently shit on single target

[sharp socket]

you cant reset until the stars align in AL

[crimson glacier]

you dont need to reset with good setup

[atomic abyss]

this is how hood's barrage damage is spread

1-3-10-3-1

most of the damage is IN the middle of the barrage

[crimson glacier]

and BBs are a lot better with hitting stuff than CVs

[cobalt rapids]

not rly, they are ok but both surface and submarine come with their caveats that hurts their performance

[crimson glacier]

if you dont have proper support

[atomic abyss]

your CV torps just miss

[sharp socket]

they shit out torps across the whole screen

[crimson glacier]

yeah and thats shit dmg

[atomic abyss]

so you're hitting 2/6 of your torps

instead of 6/6

[crimson glacier]

spreading them over large area means that its shit dmg in single target

[atomic abyss]

you can hit 6/6 of your torps with the right support

[sharp socket]

my experience is that when soyuz manages to hit something, i see big number but i also see her missing often

[crimson glacier]

soyuz barrage literally cant miss

[atomic abyss]

unless her barrage literally kills everything on said screen

[sharp socket]

meanwhile cv puts out damage every single time they fire

[atomic abyss]

which would also happen for CVs too

[crimson glacier]

idk what to tell you, your confidence isnt useful when you dont have any experience

[atomic abyss]

the fact is that dive bombers just are not great at single target damage

[inner delta]

you 2 are talking like a really different thing, he says all of these because hes doing campaign and not meta stuff

[crimson glacier]

yuki why are you so confidently wrong

[inner delta]

because he literally say spread the torpedo

[sharp socket]

im referring to main gun fire + subsequent attacks not the helix thing that actually does cover the map which is good

[crimson glacier]

yeah and he is doing stronghold boss

[long leaf]

helo guys

[inner delta]

then why would you want to spread the torp when you doing ST?

[crimson glacier]

coz he is new player and doesnt understand

[long leaf]

why i cant see my oil after claiming from mail

[inner delta]

kthen fair

[crimson glacier]

its the whole point we are trying to explain

[hallow iron]

It's on a separate storage just below ur mail

[sharp socket]

i can give cv magtorps?

[still gate]

it goes into storage

[crimson glacier]

there isnt mag torps, but there are aimed torps

[sharp socket]

all my cv torps go straight

[cobalt rapids]

did u look at your carrier torpedoes?
fighter bombs and db wont miss in that sense but the torps will unless u either sacrifice half of them and go parrallel or use converging but converging will need a support to guarantee their hitrate or the boss could just move and they all whiff

[crimson glacier]

these are aimed

[sharp socket]

cool i dont have any

[crimson glacier]

even more of a reason why your soyuz should just beat anything you have, are you missing limit breaks or something?

[cobalt rapids]

the straight torps are parallel and ure losing half of ur ordnance on single target bosses

[atomic abyss]

use this then

[rose cosmos]

is there a good map to farm exp?

[atomic abyss]

w12

[cobalt rapids]

oilcap, w12+ pref

[sharp socket]

so then i just use soyuz over hood

[cobalt rapids]

soyuz is a big upgrade over hood assuming shes mlb yes

[sharp socket]

here is my soyuz

[cobalt rapids]

use her
uncap her to 125 aswell shes prob ur strongest ship in ur dock

[strange sphinx]

Unzen good for lead?

[cobalt rapids]

where

[long leaf]

ohh tyy

[jade ibex]

Why is twin 410kai better on musashi than izumo gun?

[atomic abyss]

you use both tho
depends on enemy armour type

[cobalt rapids]

its content dependant

[atomic abyss]

410 kai for light
izumo gun for med/heavy

[jade ibex]

Theres no gold sakura he gun?

[steady beacon]

None you would actually use

410/410 Kai is also good for uptime, so if you're not specifically bossing against something that can be a consideration

[steep merlin]

Oh I see ty

[strange sphinx]

I mean in vanguard position

[cobalt rapids]

no i mean what content

[atomic abyss]

what content

[steady beacon]

No, what content are you trying to tackle with her in front

[strange sphinx]

Ah boss fleet

[cobalt rapids]

against what

[atomic abyss]

boss fleet for what

[strange sphinx]

ahm

now that's hard cause I just farming the mob for fleet 1 qnd making the fleet 2 just attack the boss

[jade ibex]

Unzen cant tank at all lil bro

[cobalt rapids]

anything goes for farming

[strange sphinx]

so I guess any boss? (yeah not a good reason)

[cobalt rapids]

unzen can tank as much as portland

[worldly pewter]

for someone with ur ships u should be knowing that each boss puts a different pressure on either the backline or the frontline

[cobalt rapids]

[strange sphinx]

huh

[worldly pewter]

was it hard to understand ?

[atomic abyss]

yes

it was

[worldly pewter]

[cobalt rapids]

ur assumption that people should know stuff

[worldly pewter]

i assumed that because of his fleet quality was it misplaced ?

[strange sphinx]

I mean Only placed my fleet because of when I got them

[cobalt rapids]

yes, people play for various reasons and u can play for years without rly knowing what ure doing because game is easy enough to brute force pre w13 campaign and events with levels

[worldly pewter]

i sometime use this way to say u should be knowing this kind of things at ur stage of game since u have done enough content

[strange sphinx]

[plain saffron]

I wish

[cobalt rapids]

what do u wish

[late flame]

if people could read ? 😛

[wind hazel]

saratoga is real

[plain saffron]

If you play enough you know about the game

[strange sphinx]

sigh, where's good farming for EXP (The level exp not the ship EXP)

[crimson glacier]

high campaign

[cobalt rapids]

oilcap, pref in w12+

[sand sedge]

12-4 is the classic

[cobalt rapids]

or D3 in event if ure still farming points

[strange sphinx]

....still in W10

[worldly pewter]

[sand sedge]

Honestly I'd suggest pushing to 12-4
It's not that much harder and you get good exp and coins

[fickle apex]

is there anything useful I can do with these mats?

[strange sphinx]

mf

[worldly pewter]

this is basically a u not wanting to progress TBH

[sand sedge]

Gear lab equipments can be crafted with en

[strange sphinx]

[steady beacon]

I mean, if you have THAT many materials, you can pretty much do almost whatever you want...

[fickle apex]

yeah but is there any equip that's worth crafting
idk if those are many tbh

[worldly pewter]

depends on what u have and what u need

[fickle apex]

but the equip i see in lab is... mid at best? maybe beside some sidegrade

[steady beacon]

Worth does depend on whether you need anything
No point crafting for crafting's sake

[sand sedge]

XTB2D sky pirates good
The rainbow equips (twin 100 Kai, wyvern, spearfish, twin 457) all good

[cobalt rapids]

you shouldnt be crafting skypirates

[worldly pewter]

yeah he didn't show his UR mats

[sand sedge]

XSB3C is also a nominal upgrade over the SB2C helldiver

[crimson glacier]

not really

[worldly pewter]

and the T2 ordnances are on the lower amount side

[fickle apex]

i have some ur mats too

[strange sphinx]

Well technically speaking here, Not that I don't want to progress, it just that I kinda burn out in Repeating the stage

[fickle apex]

what's the twin 100 kai?

[cobalt rapids]

destroyer gun

[steady beacon]

/wiki Twin 100mm Type 98 Kai

[odd root]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Twin_100mm_(Type_98)_Kai

[sand sedge]

Japanese destroyer gun

[worldly pewter]

u mean the repeat the stage 3-4 times in order to move to the next one on manual right ?

[fickle apex]

ah the dd gun yea didnt know it was in gear lab lol

[steady beacon]

Last node in IJN DD gun tree

[fickle apex]

and that's worth crafting? for who?

[sand sedge]

Imma be real campaign stages get real tedious esp since some of em need 6+ repeats
Trying to clown someone for not doing em is barking up the wrong tree

[sleek spade]

Brah I wish Im that rich

[inner delta]

play longer

[cobalt rapids]

for most of the dd gun slots ship but consider if u need it
mog gun also exists now so 100kai value is lower

[sleek spade]

But it’s only 1 so…

[worldly pewter]

did i clown someone for not doing w10 proof doko ?

[cobalt rapids]

consider how many destroyes ull use in hard content where ull need a gun like 100kai

[sand sedge]

For anyone with a destroyer gun slot
It's basically the best general purpose destroyer gun for all situations, aside from the Mogador gun we just got

[steady beacon]

It's a pretty general purpose DD gun good on pretty much everybody
(Albeit, as noted, Mogador gun is now generally better, but ofc locked to one)

[crimson glacier]

while its the best idk if its really useful

[inner delta]

you saying "you have UR ship you should already know all these" is not a good way to put stuff up. You are gatekeeping

[sand sedge]

You can literally get UR ships day 1 in this day and age abyways

[late flame]

or whale the whole nine yards and still know nothing

[sand sedge]

I'd say it's decently useful
I personally don't really use that many damage focused ships with destroyer gun slots that'd want it
1 or 2 good destroyer guns usually good enough

[cobalt rapids]

that was the point

[crimson glacier]

why is it decently useful

[fickle apex]

opsi can be farmed mindlessly with auto so i do that whenever i feel like it, it's not hard and you can farm xp too

[crimson glacier]

if even you say that you dont really use the ships that would benfit from it the most

[fickle apex]

i suppose only laffey2 and kazagumo for opsi content, but what about ch15? i have yet to start farming it

[inner delta]

kaza still feel better with 76

[cobalt rapids]

kazagumo doesnt want that gun
and it depends on ur other ships

[crimson glacier]

and its not like laffey is insanely better with that gun either

[sand sedge]

Oh I assumed that you were gauging how good or useful it'd be within the framework of destroyer guns and their availabilities since that was what was brought up
Overall the amount you use destroyers varies I'd guess but I always have 1 or 2 destroyer gun slots I'd want it on in any given fleet

[inner delta]

it's pretty expensive when you can already use the 130mm pr6 i feel like

[crimson glacier]

destroyer gun slots dont matter tho

giving taht gun on some random ship with 50% secondary DD gun is just waste

[fickle apex]

fair then, my knowledge of gears is capped at "AP vs HE" and "high vs low reload time", that's about it so idk

[cobalt rapids]

laffey 2 and sandy are prob the ones using that gun in the reccomended fleets but now moggun exists so ull want maybe 1
harbin gun is also there as a permanently available downgrade

[fickle apex]

moggun?

[sand sedge]

Waste maybe, but I'd do that if the other option was not using it
Generally speaking

[cobalt rapids]

the event dd gun

[late flame]

current event dd gun

[fickle apex]

o ok

[crimson glacier]

there is never a reason to craft random shit just for the sake of crafting

[cobalt rapids]

also consider that we get mk7 in gearlab soon tm and we dont know what plans it will use
and if its gun plans and not t3 then well..

[fickle apex]

eh i guess i'll save these for when i have to farm ch15 then
is there a list of ship that are good for ch15 in that note?

[cobalt rapids]

check /w15 in #bot-spam

[fickle apex]

first time i see a recommended fleet command in this server ngl

are shimanto and jeanne replacable there?

[worldly pewter]

although it had nothing to do with the campaign part
next time i will refrain from making assumptions and push people to try to learn better ( i always make myself a reference which might be the core issue )

[sharp socket]

did lecture hall speed get nerfed alot

[wet prairie]

no more challenge modes right?

[strange sphinx]

yeah

[cobalt rapids]

shimanto is as per point 4.
jda isnt, she unique in her support and the consistency she provides due her shield alignment with the enemy torps
but u can make do without her ofc
but shes also farmable in wa and good so no reason not to get her

[wind hazel]

i think it's a little buggy, i'm getting 0 eventhough i grind at d3 a lot lol

[boreal wagon]

they probably broke lecture hall when they fixed mail overflowing exp packs lol

[sharp socket]

yeah i got 1 after 5h

[crimson glacier]

eh seems to work fine to me

[boreal wagon]

its a little hit or miss, sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt

[cobalt rapids]

what broke, does farmed xp not count anymore or what ?

[sharp socket]

even with no grinding i should get 20 a day

[boreal wagon]

no it doesn't produce a pack sometimes

it works most of the time but some packs seem to just vanish

[strange sphinx]

yeah 0+ exp for mlb DD is suspicious

[boreal wagon]

which is probably related to their overflowing fix

[crimson glacier]

but mlb doesnt mean the ship gives lecture exp

[fickle apex]

o ill farm her after the event then, ty

[wind hazel]

needs to be lv100+

[worldly pewter]

auto spoiled us

[strange sphinx]

125 Shimakaze

[wind hazel]

yeah sus indeed

[strange sphinx]

I will not doubt it if it's CV

[boreal wagon]

there was a patch just now so maybe they fixed it

[late flame]

yeah game rudely booted me from opsi for the update

[boreal wagon]

unsure if fixed by this hotfix but JP twitter at least acknowledge the lecture hall issue

[strange sphinx]

This after the patch

[cobalt rapids]

that doesnt have to do with lecure hall

that just means u reached the 3mil xp cap

[strange sphinx]

[boreal wagon]

which coincidentally doesnt prevent lecture hall either lol

[strange sphinx]

eh?

there's a Cap for EXP

Might aswell add 130

[cobalt rapids]

post lvl100 ships can store up to 3 mil xp which gets consumed when cog awakenend
ofc at 125 theres no further awakening so it wil cap at 3 mil and stay like that
they still contribute to PR missions and lecture hall

[strange sphinx]

Plymouth is my Research rn

[boreal wagon]

caps dont affect research exp

[strange sphinx]

Hehhe I know the lack of Royal navy vanguard is atrocious

[boreal wagon]

u still gain that even if a ship shows +0

[strange sphinx]

oh well I got the UR bulin in The event points, might aswell push my main story

also what's the best Hard for retrofit blue print?

[eternal basalt]

The latest, so w13

[strange sphinx]

but farming exp is 12-4 because of oil cap?

[boreal wagon]

do we even have reason to believe the gold print rate is different per chapter

[strange sphinx]

nah

I already know it is random

[boreal wagon]

that wasnt my question but its fine someone else will get it

[steady beacon]

I think Ender might have mentioned something anecdotal (but even then the observed difference was basically marginal)
But I don't think we have actual hard evidence

[whole crypt]

sup moggies

[jaunty vault]

there was player gathered data ages ago that suggested higher stages have higher chances

im just parrorting ender

[boreal wagon]

okay but did that data account for coincidence at all

[jaunty vault]

[whole crypt]

somethingsomething highest you can reliably clear because cores

[boreal wagon]

yeah i was just curious rlly

[crimson glacier]

when you say " account for coincidence" what do you mean

[boreal wagon]

big enough set of data

[whole crypt]

I could spend a few weeks in lower chapters to check but it's not worth the trouble in the end

[eternal basalt]

You do latest for most core anyways

[boreal wagon]

i mean even if u spend a few weeks there ud only gather so much data

unless ur sample size is in the millions if not higher u basically concluded nothing

[wind hazel]

i don't think it would be any meaningful data in the end

[strange sphinx]

bro Gathering data then he will release a thesis about it

[boreal wagon]

yeah forming meaningful data is hard

[whole crypt]

if the difference is significant you can probably pull something out of 2 weeks of 3-4 vs 13-4, if it isn't then it isn't

[wind hazel]

even if, for example, <w5 give 5% more chance, you'd still do >w5 for the core data, so in the end it's... meaningless data

[boreal wagon]

if it were we probably would already know

but yeah its just data for the curious very much not meaningful or worth it

[atomic abyss]

Player gathered data yeah

Comparing W8H with W7H

It's like a 1% difference

[fresh tangle]

One of each shell on flagship BB I assume

[boreal wagon]

that sounds like statistical noise and its probably the same then

[whole crypt]

it's actually not that bad, we have a good idea of number of prints dropped per run, you don't need a huge dataset to prove a significant difference

[atomic abyss]

At the end of the day, it's the core data that's more valuable

[whole crypt]

which is why I said comparing ch3 to 13

[atomic abyss]

Yep

[eternal basalt]

How to do /logmode in emulator... asking for #bug-reports

[atomic abyss]

Uh

Good luck

[jaunty vault]

get a touch screen laptop

[whole crypt]

a little hard, you'll need to setup shortcuts that can perform the gesture

[worldly pewter]

what about this

[jaunty vault]

tf is that

[worldly pewter]

something u should never do

[jaunty vault]

are you just trolling

[boreal wagon]

its drop chance analysis given x number of findings and n number of openings

which is roughly what retro prints would fall under

[worldly pewter]

no i meant that people go to some extreme measure when they are dedicated enough even if it is a trivial matter as in collecting data for drop rates

if AL had any competitive aspect in it i m 100% the jp will do the same

[steady beacon]

And do it better, based on comparing EoS scores

[eternal basalt]

We score End of Services?

[whole crypt]

people still complaining about mailbox wow

[boreal wagon]

im sure people would find something to complain about even if they gave us an objectively positive change

[whole crypt]

I think the best part is people complaining the storage cap is too low, but who am I to judge

[midnight bluff]

when I finish doing catchup research for PR5, what am I supposed to set my research catchup on next

[eternal basalt]

Probably PR7 at that time

[whole crypt]

focus and catchup are separate things, so whatever you need

hm would rainbow duck do better than mog gun against heavy on moggies?

[rose whale]

what kind of aa and accessory should I put on mogador?

[atomic abyss]

Gold twin 134 AA gun
Double toolboxes

[lone vigil]

whats the best mogador gear this is what i have atm

[rose whale]

twin 134? somehow I don't have any of them 😢

[frank pulsar]

quad magnetic torps over your current torp, use twin 113, twin 90 or quad bofors over your current aa gun, for auxiliary use toolkit + any 500+ hp aux

[atomic abyss]

Need to craft it in gearlab

[rose whale]

thanks

[eternal basalt]

Use any of the health replacement, double toolbox is useless. Must have gotten several if you played the last few months

[frank pulsar]

134 is a boss/opsi only aa gun though, and its low prio for crafting

[half plover]

opsi shop will reset next reset right? time to push opsi campaign 😭

[eternal basalt]

Tommorrow yes

[whole crypt]

how long are META and harbs fights again?

[half plover]

my two best fleets are not strong enough to reach the core so I postponed it. but seems it works if I constantly repair my ships

[whole crypt]

nvm I'll just assume 90s

[half plover]

meta around 90s iirc

[whole crypt]

realistically you're looking at around 5% heal from a toolkit over the fight
I'm thinking of ditching toolkit and just going goldburn + arctic

[ocean trout]

is that a me problem that u see these pics out of place wether it asks u of gems or oils

[whole crypt]

that's the menu for buying oil with gems

[rose whale]

happen to everyone

[whole crypt]

#bug-reports is this way

[ocean trout]

this patch has so many bugs its insane

[rose whale]

these icon are humongous now

[whole crypt]

I'm surprised EN is still broken

[boreal wagon]

i feel like alot of those bugs EN still has are device/account dependent

cuz for instance i know a lot of people myself included whose icons are fine

[worldly pewter]

do u mean the story arbiter ot the actual arbiter ?

[jade ibex]

is 6-4 the onyl way to get yuudachi?

[eternal basalt]

Itás been broken since new client, 3 weeks ago

[half plover]

I need to clear one actual map to reach the core and it is corrosion 6

but I am slowly beating it

[worldly pewter]

how is ur tuning ?

[half plover]

tuning? everything is below 100

never payed attention

but I cant remember 3 digits

[ocean trout]

yeah freezes. misplaced units in combat. the afk screen that u cant turn off-despite there beein an option for it etc..

[jade ibex]

i think thats how it goes on first clear?

[eternal basalt]

Don't know about those first 2

[whole crypt]

that's probably why you're not winning

[tame jungle]

Yeah uhhh tuning is pretty big

[whole crypt]

if you're at less than 100 you're basically fighting everything high corrosion with a 30% handicap on damage and HP

[half plover]

is this tuning?

[tame jungle]

C6 zones you reach max bonuses at 129 141 99

Arbiter at 203 203 156

[worldly pewter]

yeah i remember his ships being strong enough to do everything beside the harbiter / c6 abyssals

[tame jungle]

Really makes a huge difference in not getting your shit kicked in

[whole crypt]

that score should be max penalty with strongholds and arb/harb

[half plover]

but yeah I even reorganized my opsi fleets to my best ships and gave them the best gear possible

no idea how I can build up tuning

[tame jungle]

Playing the game

[whole crypt]

but you're still fighitng with 30% penalty, vs having 30% bonus if maxed

every secured map you run will have at least one node that increases one of your adapts by a bit

[ocean trout]

wha if ur like at 500 + at each stat?

[whole crypt]

you just have to play OS a lot more

[tame jungle]

You can buy from shops but that’s not recommended unless you’re missing tuning for arbiter near the end

[undone plover]

if u dont wanna buy it u can repeat a C1 stage
each clear will give u some tuning

[whole crypt]

no additional effect

[half plover]

oh ty

[atomic abyss]

There's a reason I usually wait till the second half of the month to do strongholds/abyssals

[worldly pewter]

do u have the compact shop unlocked ? or u still have to go through every port ?

[ocean trout]

so besides the breakpoints all stats after that turn useless? 🤔

[atomic abyss]

Yea

[whole crypt]

if you're desperate just strategic search to repeat NA Ocean SW Sector B

[half plover]

not sure but I didn't finish all story missions yet

[whole crypt]

if you throw about 200 to 300 AP into it you should get enough for shit to stop being super painful

have you finished ch4 in OS, because if you have it's resetting tomorrow

[half plover]

ah yes, I am at 5-6 rn

the core of the map

[sinful elk]

Chat so.. now that i got 2k5 gems should I focus on Alsace mlb or additional dock slots?

[whole crypt]

if they're free gems they'll be dock slots you'll eventually need, or dorm slots/2nd floor

if you bought them then buy what you want

[worldly pewter]

check ports for tuning items
also check ur inventory u might find some who knows

[half plover]

where can I find the compact shop?

[worldly pewter]

next month

[half plover]

ooh

[whole crypt]

you're stuck with old shop format until reset

[sinful elk]

Well i rarely get chances to buy ingame stuffs so i want to make sure that my money will be worth it

[half plover]

so what do I want to buy before shop reset?

[whole crypt]

we can't determine the worth of a skin to you

[half plover]

like most important to mid prio

[whole crypt]

I bought a couple of the L2Ds this round but personally none of them are worth as much as Ibuki's

[tame jungle]

Anything related to UR gear probably if you have it

[worldly pewter]

for now try to get the adapt items then later after getting as many as u could currency we can see how it will go

[tame jungle]

Idk what your shop looks like

Do not get the adapt items

[whole crypt]

probably not great, if old shop without having cleared stock

[eternal basalt]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Operation_Siren#Stat_modifiers

[tame jungle]

Not gonna make a difference on the last day

Better off just cashing out rn imo and just playing it out next month

[whole crypt]

like I said best way is probably just repeating NA Ocean SW Sector B

he's probably got the AP to burn for it

[worldly pewter]

they have everything to clear c5 abyssals and strongholds
i think it is better to speedrun tuning

[atomic abyss]

Agreed

[tame jungle]

But do they have AP

[half plover]

I mean I have no problems at all beating c5, it is just c6 rn so I can kinda chill and just do whatever haha

yeah, I have tons of chests in my inventory

[tame jungle]

Ok yeah then grind time it is

[eternal basalt]

Only IF you finished the story (up to chap 4) otherwise no reset for you

[whole crypt]

with stacked adapts C6 will be a walkover assuming your setup is actually good

[sinful elk]

Btw guys do the upcoming black friday sell is there gonna be double ring pack thing?

[atomic abyss]

upcoming

[sinful elk]

[eternal basalt]

6/6, black friday is october

[strong tartan]

uhhh Black Friday is in November

[tame jungle]

It’s… may…

[atomic abyss]

Idk can you foresee what's going to be on sale in 6 months?

[strong tartan]

are you a time traveller

[atomic abyss]

We're more likely to see double ring packs at anni

[sinful elk]

Oh when will that be?

[atomic abyss]

August

[strong tartan]

August

[sinful elk]

[eternal basalt]

6/6

[undone plover]

usually oath crate is available around every 2-3 months
i think it was 5 times in 2023 for example

[whole crypt]

if they find an excuse to push it yeh

[atomic abyss]

"Whenever they fucking feel like it"

[whole crypt]

but usually each of the anniv they'll throw something out that's got the pack going

plus maybe christmas and/or CNY that sort of thing

so around 5 times a year sounds right

[eternal basalt]

6TH OF JUNE.... AAAAARGH

[worldly pewter]

strongholds cost 200 ap to enter and they are easy to do because u can exit from them to heal in the port
abyssals cost 80 for c4 and 100 for c5 and c6 these ones don't let u go out, going out means u have abandoned it and will never return
another thing that might boost the tuning is the hidden zones
managing the opsi progression in ur current position will be dependant on 2 main factors
the time left / ur time that u want to invest into the game and the ap crates

[half plover]

I mean if all I have to do is clear chapter4 I already managed to do so before reset

[whole crypt]

scamcat doing her thing selling me AP 3 hours from reset

the thing is you want to maximize your gains before reset

[half plover]

what do you mean by that

[tame jungle]

Get cash money

[worldly pewter]

can u show ur opsi inventory ?

[whole crypt]

any coin and token you don't use gets converted to vouchers you can use in exchange next month
also anything you can buy now is not wasted after end of month

get these

[eternal basalt]

There are 4 shops

[whole crypt]

all of those AP boxes will be gone after reset, you might as well spend all that AP now

[half plover]

thats my coins

[whole crypt]

just as well since you're short on adapts, go dump like 400 AP repeating a C5 for drops and adapts

[worldly pewter]

is this the only port that u have unlocked ?

[half plover]

nah I unlocked all 4 main

[undone plover]

I would personally value these items more than anything else
in the shop

but ideally you would want to buy AP boxes and coordinates as well to grind more materials and the opsi T3 materials pack

[worldly pewter]

so u basically have 1k ap more or less

[whole crypt]

he has over 1200 AP to burn as it is

[half plover]

get all tunings + the top left?

[whole crypt]

you'll want this

[undone plover]

he will get 2-3 akashis in those hidden zones as well most likely. better pray she gives u a lot of AP

[whole crypt]

don't buy tuning, just go repeat zones

[worldly pewter]

u got the UR ordnance which is kinda very lucky ngl

[half plover]

ah yeah

[whole crypt]

you have a lot of AP to burn

[half plover]

what about this

[whole crypt]

can buy no harm

[undone plover]

get it
u will want the purple token for the other shops most likely

[worldly pewter]

buy the coordinate too

[whole crypt]

but I don't think it'll do anything for you now

don't bother with the coord

look at how many coords he has still uncleared

[half plover]

do I want anything else here?

[undone plover]

C5 coord is worth but clear what u have already first

[whole crypt]

I'd say get this assuming you go clear up your coords

[half plover]

will they be gone after reset too?

[whole crypt]

everything

[half plover]

ooh

[whole crypt]

start of month you go in with like 1k coins and nothing else

so anything that can be spent should be spent now

[keen sable]

~~you mean you weren't planning to buy it all tomorrow? ~~

[half plover]

I would have pushed sooner if I would have known everything resets lmaoo

[whole crypt]

you still most of the day to clear what you can

[tame jungle]

19 hours remaining

[undone plover]

next month do your opsi dailies and clear the icons slowly so u dont have to grind it all last day

[eternal basalt]

There is giant reset timer

[half plover]

is this the 4th port?

[eternal basalt]

Yes

[half plover]

I will unlock it first, ty

[keen sable]

Is st Pete not part of story?

[half plover]

nope

[eternal basalt]

Apparently not

[worldly pewter]

that port is locked behind c6 zones

[eternal basalt]

I wonder how the new store setup would handle locked petersburg

[half plover]

btw should I do meta fights?

[whole crypt]

take 300 AP go repeat a C1 zone before you try

[south sequoia]

It doesn't iirc

[whole crypt]

don't bother for now, not worth the time

[south sequoia]

New players are locked to the old opsi shop

[eternal basalt]

Till tommorrow, yes

[blissful hamlet]

is mogador better than harbin?

[south sequoia]

After reset, if they complete the story up to ch4 they can access the new shop

[whole crypt]

deal with META if you want to after the reset

[half plover]

alr haha, I think it just fills the bar the more I fight opsi ships, right?

[south sequoia]

Wait for testing

[eternal basalt]

They will rset, and do not access petersburg, hence the question

[blissful hamlet]

[inland shoal]

Cleo pls don't make it this obvious you didn't read a thing when replying

[south sequoia]

im stupid okay

[whole crypt]

all ports become accessible after reset IIRC, even if you don't unlock on previous month

[night flower]

Which is better for OpSi mobbing, FdG or Fs5 Ruprecht?

[south sequoia]

Fdg

[whole crypt]

you basically gain "coordinates" as you clear stuff in OS up to 200 each day
you need 100 to activate a showdown, which you then go into the META boss fight for sync points
if you start now you won't have enough to MLB Rodney M anyway and at least for today you don't really have time to dabble in it

[south sequoia]

Has CN started doing tests with alsauce yet

[half plover]

yeah true, I did rodney fights sometimes but never really paid too much attention

[eternal basalt]

You can hold 4 fights per day, so tecchnically you can skip today

[half plover]

maybe I killed her 4-5 times

[south sequoia]

In terms of damage, and the grand question of does she replace vanguard in a lot of scenarios or certain scenarios

[whole crypt]

there's a scam cat in every hidden zone I'm doing and they all are selling AP packs

this scamcat before reset thing is real I tell you

[eternal basalt]

Hold AP till reset then spend it on new dailies then reset, get another set of dailies

[late flame]

too much work

[whole crypt]

is that actually a thing, I usually just do it on day change

ah well no AP left on my main account

[eternal basalt]

I reported it as bug, and exploited it ever since

[main latch]

would it be bad to uncap her lvl 120 with the amount of cog array i have left enterprise is my only other 120+ ship

[whole crypt]

Alsace is a good pick

[eternal basalt]

URs are perfect for 125

[whole crypt]

can't say the same for retrofit URs and DRs

[main latch]

Okay thanks

[eternal basalt]

Poor Warspite

[late flame]

cries in warspite

[whole crypt]

PRake

[worldly pewter]

it wouldn't be bad
usually u want ur backline to be 125 because they dish the most damage then ur tank because she takes the most damage

[main latch]

My main tank is Friedrich carl is she good to 120+

[sinful elk]

A ship get more affection when she is mvp right?

[whole crypt]

I wouldn't say she's bad but there are definitely better choices and less priority than main fleet

[half plover]

how can I clear a zone again after I cleared it already for extra stars?

[worldly pewter]

i don't have her but i heard she is very solid
i don't know how she is against the free options as anchorage or agir though so i can't tell u much here

[eternal moth]

Turn off clearing mode

[whole crypt]

depends on what stars you're missing but it's pretty much just repeating the zone ad nauseum

[half plover]

ty

[whole crypt]

is this hard mode or OS

[half plover]

os but I can work with the answers haha

[whole crypt]

OS is just repeat, repeat and repeat some more

[eternal moth]

Or wait until next month and hope you get a siren node

[whole crypt]

again, that depends on what star you need

[half plover]

yeah I will just clear all uncleared maps first

that should take long enough anyway

[whole crypt]

OS exploration is meant to be cleared over time

[undone plover]

dont worry about opsi stars this month
farming your available coordinates is the priorty

[half plover]

do I want to hit 99/108/99 or 129/141/99

[eternal basalt]

You get ONE shot each month... happy next 2 years

[whole crypt]

you get as many shots each month as promoted pawns actually spawn

[undone plover]

if u want to fight the boss at its weakest u want the number on the right
but if you are strong enough u might not need it
although C6 abyssals with the heal buff are just cancer so play it safe imo

[eternal basalt]

Which is once

[whole crypt]

depending on the zone that could be 1 to 3 promoted pawns

but yeh it took me like 20 months to fill up the stars

[normal crane]

What people usually use when farming exp for Friedrich development mission?

[whole crypt]

any 3 KMS main fleet ships you have that can earn XP

[keen sable]

I prefer 1 bb 2 cv like normal farming

[eternal basalt]

2 IB CV?

[void turret]

i got alsace what do i do?

[keen sable]

Got 4 urins?

[spring scarab]

Is this a good DD gun ?

[whole crypt]

you level and LB her and use her

[void turret]

no shit lol

[keen sable]

Why?

[void turret]

worth using at 2LB right?

[crimson glacier]

not sure

[whole crypt]

if everything else you have is 2LB or less maybe?

[void turret]

i have MLB penn and hood

[keen sable]

Yes it's good but not worth farming

[undone plover]

if u got all your spec core this month (6k)
u can have her MLB soon

[whole crypt]

Hood is probably fine while you're leveling Alsace's skills

[spring scarab]

Understood I just got one crafted

[whole crypt]

even if MLB Alsace isn't that great if you haven't leveled her skills

[zinc turret]

should i mlb alsace now or chill till the end of the event cuz im planning to do 3 build at event per day for the mission

[eternal basalt]

Full bulin or no sigar, seeing it's a difference between 2 and 3 shot

[eternal basalt]

Then wait

[zinc turret]

aight

[tame jungle]

Just do the latter yea

[void turret]

ah ok

[tame jungle]

If you get lucky you save some resources which is nice

[void turret]

im at 3 bulins rn and can probably get the fourth one soon

[pale niche]

Is there a guide for w15

[eternal basalt]

Yes, /w15

[edgy geyser]

can someone make me a team for chapter 15

[heady pier]

[undone plover]

i would just use her tbh
she will be better than penny at LB2 i am 95% sure
just need to level her and her skills

where are u farming? event D3?

[void turret]

i have ~100 blue exps

[wet prairie]

make thread, post dock, wait

[void turret]

is saint louis good?

[undone plover]

I just mean if u are chilling and farming it is a good time to replace your penny with her

but if u are pushing content then finish doing that with penny then think about replacing her with alsace

[edgy geyser]

can someone make me a team for chapter

[whole crypt]

extremely dated

[blazing shale]

which gun does Musashi want for mob?

[cobalt rapids]

twin 410kai

[elfin hollow]

who should I mlb? New Jersey or Shinano?

[cobalt rapids]

shinano

and please dont spread ur bulins like that

[light trail]

would it be wiser to save these all for a series 5 ship like anchorage or prinz ruprecht or finish cheshire's fate sim

[tame jungle]

Anchorage

[cobalt rapids]

no cheshire
save blanks for their respective seasons

[light trail]

okok so business as usual

[eternal moth]

Anchorage is season 4, not 5

[tame jungle]

Oh true mb

[light trail]

oh she is?

[whole crypt]

Cheshire you can do with coins or free prints if you want to but definitely save those for PR4 or 5

[light trail]

i forget

[eternal moth]

That said, she's probably more impactful than any gold in PR5, so if you need prints for her, go ahead

[sterile parrot]

could i have a little help? getting back into tryna clear the story but i dont know much about new ships and how to use them, this is the fleet im using and its clearing 14-1 fine but with shinano dying every time i do the boss and juneau struggling to stay alive too i dont think thisll get me through 14-4 (yes my subs are ass yes im working on it)

[cobalt rapids]

open a thread and post your dock, theres quite a few issues

[light trail]

currently missing all pr4 and pr5 gold ships

who to prioritize?

[cobalt rapids]

finish pr4

when haku is fs5 and u got 2 tenrais in depot u can swap to pr5 focus

building and research are separate matters

[worldly pewter]

the usual order is 1 from pr 1 then fdg then 4 from pr4

[void turret]

so no

[whole crypt]

the usual order is PR1 until you can do something better, FdG is only if you get enough tech in time

[eternal moth]

I don't remember, when do they normally start next PR season previews, about a month before the release?

[void turret]

too far along the route to change

[whole crypt]

PR1 -> Anchorage is not uncommon

[viscid swift]

not really these days

[whole crypt]

devs said see you in July for PR7

[sterile parrot]

help w w14 fleet

[light trail]

i see. thankfully i just dev30'd fdg yesterday and i have monarch, roon, kitakaze, and cheshire at dev30, so anchorage after now?

[eternal basalt]

Usually one week before drop

[light trail]

how influential is fdg fate sim

[worldly pewter]

u spent sometime doing the older pr unless u are a returning player ?

[tame jungle]

Quite huge

[light trail]

returning player, i had a couple periods of hard grinding for a few months and mostly time spent "quitting"

[hallow iron]

Is there a cat guide

[light trail]

when i started, the most was pr2

[blazing shale]

#bot-spam

[whole crypt]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Riceist/CatGuide

[light trail]

what brought me back was a preview of cheshire's new l2d

luckily it was right at the start of the current UR event

[eternal basalt]

"Start" 10 days gone

[light trail]

yeah i came back like 7 or 8 days ago

anyway, ty for advice, i'll probably be back

[worldly pewter]

@whole crypt the scamcat is actually selling more boxes than the usual something is off

[rapid grail]

classic end of month OpSi experience

[hallow iron]

The talent that the cat come with can't be reroll right? Only learn stuff at level 5 can be reroll?

[whole crypt]

I told you it's real

[rapid grail]

i've been regaining some of the AP boxes through Akashis in C3

[undone plover]

yeah initial talents are locked and cant change with reroll

[lone vigil]

which meta best to select for meta showdown

[atomic abyss]

Probably Helena meta

[lone vigil]

is she seperate from normal helena

[atomic abyss]

Yes

All metas are completely different

[lone vigil]

cause i already vowed helena and have here raised with gear

[blazing shale]

which meowfficers do you guys use for mob?

[south sequoia]

Helena is probably the most useful of the available metas but she isn't gonna change or do much outside vanguard dps and a small debuff

[atomic abyss]

...Oscar?

[blazing shale]

I mean the 2nd cat

actually nvm I'll use CV

[hallow iron]

I don't really understand siren... What do i buy with my points? I read that It disappear by end of this month

[light trail]

how many coins should i be spending on fdg per day? do i stick to just the 2 free ones?

[lone vigil]

does opsi inventory reset when opsi resets next week

[viscid swift]

OpSi resets if you've cleared Chapter 4 of the OpSi story

[cobalt rapids]

did u unlock reset? aka chapter 4 from story?

[eternal basalt]

Nothing there, except maybe zpecial item tokens

[hallow iron]

How to know what is chapter 4

[viscid swift]

however many you can afford comfortably, I wouldn't reccomend more than 10 a day

[light trail]

okok

[viscid swift]

you'll know if it tells you how many days until OpSi resets

[cobalt rapids]

you have this on overview screen

[eternal basalt]

You get a big "Opsi will reset"on the map

[lone vigil]

when it resets do i lose items i have bought like repairs?

[eternal basalt]

But yes, repairs gone

[hallow iron]

I'm guesing I'm still far away

So nothing will happen to me right? I can hoard?

[light trail]

is there a "best" way to farm oil, or do i just have to wait on commissions and factory +gifts to get it?

[hallow iron]

Thx

[viscid swift]

waiting is your only option unless you get out the credit card

[light trail]

okok

[cobalt rapids]

dont hoard, buy the items in ports so you can clear the pool and get the good items since u wont be reset tomorrow

[hallow iron]

What to buy?

[cobalt rapids]

pretty much all

[eternal basalt]

He's in chapter 1, wont reset

[cobalt rapids]

yea

[hallow iron]

Ok I just buy everything for now

ngl I dont understand what these items do

[cobalt rapids]

that means u have 1 month to clear the pool if u finish chapter 4 during the next month

[eternal basalt]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Operation_Siren

[undone plover]

buy bad item = good item will spawn next time

[hallow iron]

Sounds logical

[eternal basalt]

probably

[undone plover]

eventually*

[maiden dock]

If i press delete read, will it just delete all mail where i have collected the rewards?

[viscid swift]

if you haven't marked them as important yes

[eternal basalt]

Make sure to mark valentine mails etc

[maiden dock]

and this way my mail will drop below 100?

[undone plover]

valentines and unique mail will go to special automatically right?

[split umbra]

How many hours till operation siren reset?

[lone vigil]

do my action point refills reset after opsi refreshes

[nocturne estuary]

OPSI didn't give affinity or?

[undone plover]

if u finished opsi ch4 and have the reset banner yes
usually u want to use it all before the reset

[atomic abyss]

Yes
(Also nickname of culture?)

[blazing shale]

are vanguard meowfficers worth minmaxing?

[atomic abyss]

Same time as daily reset
So just under 18h

[undone plover]

sub + backline

[blazing shale]

I was thinking maybe with ddg or smth

[maiden dock]

nickname of culture? what you mean?

[split umbra]

Okay cool Thanks! still have time to clear more stuff

[south sequoia]

Unless you're trying to do vanguard dps tests or trying to minmax torpedos it's a no since you're better off just minmaxxing your backlines damage

[atomic abyss]

Nevermind
I thought it was a SYD reference

[undone plover]

i meant special filter not archive
u sure it doesnt?

[inland shoal]

Heck yeah I love Sword Yard Download

[maiden dock]

[vast sparrow]

Lets hope nimi will not kill me in recruitments

[inland shoal]

Well if you keep talking about it in this channel Nimi might kill you here

[eternal basalt]

[summer basin]
