[wind hazel]

CL stuff, check the gear guide above

[scarlet cosmos]

I was looking in past chats and see some responses of her being bad so am concerned

[wind hazel]

she is bad because she isn't UR BB

but gold BB she's probably among top 10

maybe even top 5

[main grove]

How to get , This ticket is to buy this

[violet grail]

If you're asking how to get the currency on the left, it's by analyzing data packs that you get from handbook, and later on, once you have a dev 30 PR ship by converting shipyard blueprints.

[scarlet cosmos]

Oh i see ty, what makes her good then?

[zinc cave]

Has pre-loaded salvo with MGM+1 (usually not the case) with a guaranteed strong barrage every 20s

[scarlet cosmos]

Thats reassuring then! Thank you!

[zinc cave]

Keep in mind as a Priority ship, this rating is measured at Dev30 w/ Fate Simulation

[wheat ore]

what is the best place to get good ca gun, i literally don't have any lmfoa

[zinc cave]

take a look through here

[wheat ore]

yeah but i meant like how do i get those guns? is it through gear lab?

[onyx flame]

it like already listed in the table

[zinc cave]

acquisition method listed under the gun name/nickname

[wheat ore]

oh i see ty

how do i get the blue protoshop currency?

[ivory sigil]

1st line

[zinc cave]

from converting unused shipyard combat data xp packs, or leftover development blueprints

[wheat ore]

wait sorry but how do i convert unused shipyard xp packs 😭

[ocean terrace]

depot, click on it then press analyse

[wheat ore]

ah ty, what is safe to analyse? or is it all of it

[ocean terrace]

all combat data packs

[zinc cave]

For Combat Data EXP, that's entirely up to you

Technically efficiency would be to just convert them all

[ocean terrace]

really? never heard anyone recommend keeping them or using them for research

[wheat ore]

i don't think i've ever used it for research

[zinc cave]

99% of the time it'll be convert, 1% for people who just want the unit faster for whatever reason they like

[ocean terrace]

I'm having to suffer but for the gear it's worth it

at least that's what I tell myself

[rain vine]

the exp is the easiest part of the pr grind, you can be done in a few days
theres 0 reason to use the exp packs

[ocean terrace]

that's if you're high enough in the campaign and not low on oil...

[ivory sigil]

Unless swipe 💳

[wheat ore]

oh wait, when you buy the guns in the protoshop, it's the blueprints that you buy?

[zinc cave]

yes

[rain vine]

which is why its suggested to not bother with pr exp farming until at least w9, ideally w12

[inland shoal]

Even then it's such a tiny benefit for a massive drawback in missing gear

[wheat ore]

damn, how many blueprints is required for 1 gear, is it 50?

[zinc cave]

usually 25

[inland shoal]

25 for gold research equips

[ocean terrace]

I'm on W10 but it's taking a while

[wheat ore]

oh okay ty

[inland shoal]

For rainbow it's 50 tho

[cobalt rampart]

sorry if dumb question, i think the beginner guide mightve confused me

these have no use other than lvling ships right? ive been saving them

[zinc cave]

Yes

[ivory sigil]

I might get cancel after this but Azur dev love to create problem and selling solution

[cobalt rampart]

should i try switching to another ship to lvl once theyre 100? my javelin just hit 100

[ivory sigil]

I know my mom is kinda homeless

But If all the purpose of research is getting the bestship and not gear right?, then 5000 gold is for 1 piece of Macklenburge is worth right?

I dont want to spend 5000 for a golden techbox in shop just to open another depressing gun

[inland shoal]

Tbh that's other gacha games even more lol

[zinc cave]

It's more pay for convenience, this is hardly an obstacle

If you remotely play the game at all

[ocean terrace]

I mean if you want good gear and ships, yeah you gotta work for it

[rain vine]

unless youre absolutely loaded with cubes, the meck rssearch is the best one there
cost doesnt really have anything to do with it

[ivory sigil]

Ideally if you like to play with them, just let them awaken to lv105 110 ... till 120

[rain vine]

unless you choose the 1.5 hr g research for faster research cycling

[ivory sigil]

I usually skip meck research due to lack of gold

[ocean terrace]

I try to go for Meck if I can

or Gouden

[ivory sigil]

Even if they were the last batch of your gold?

[ivory sigil]

Damn it feel so lottery

[zinc cave]

Should be doing DR research when possible because the number of blueprints is annoying to accumulate

[ivory sigil]

Bro would bankrupt after UR banner hits

[ocean terrace]

yup, gotta keep saving

[ivory sigil]

I see

[ocean terrace]

nah most of the research I do is the 1.5k or 3k coin one
sometimes the gear upgrade parts

[ivory sigil]

Well if 1 bp of meck is 5k
How much bp i need for a big meck? big mac 🍔

[ocean terrace]

513 for dev30

[undone plover]

Never buy the gear techboxes for coins
It is a bad deal
U will get enough later

[undone plover]

It is not 1
I forgot the range
But most likely it is 2-4 for 5h
Maybe even more if u get lucky

[ocean terrace]

513 prints though god damn

[forest palm]

not that bad

[ivory sigil]

Just a reminder of my gear current state^

5k gold can upgrade quite lots

[undone plover]

U get 10 per new event if u buy the DR selectors

[onyx flame]

i got mine down in like 3 months thou i also dump blanks

[ocean terrace]

is that from the event shop

[forest palm]

I finished Meck in 2 months

[undone plover]

Research and operation siren will upgrade your gear later
The rng with tech-boxes is not worth spending coin on em

U will get tech boxes in ch12 farming
And u can get to ch12 with bad gear
So dont buy them imo

[ocean terrace]

is this ever a good buy?

[wind hazel]

i wouldnt

unless 70-90% off and you're desperate for plates

[ocean terrace]

you can get 70-90% off?

[onyx flame]

the only thing i really buy from the supply shop is cubes (coins), iris boxes and skill books sometimes

[zinc cave]

its few and far between but it happens occasionally

[tulip tinsel]

the only thing worth from the supply shop is the 2k coin cube

[tall sierra]

I have a question, Who Is Better between Peter strasser, Shinano and Essex?

[onyx flame]

for what purpose?

[wind hazel]

peter shouldn't be in the question

[onyx flame]

thou it prob be shinano/essex (depending if essex is retro)

[late flame]

-# peter tied with essex for +2 AVI

[cobalt robin]

is it fine to dump all my general ur prints into gouden?

[whole crypt]

if you want to max her sure

[cobalt robin]

went from dev 21 to 24 💔

see you in 2 years

[whole crypt]

eh I'm at d27 now

and that's with the rest of PR8 completed

[cobalt robin]

before i had meck gun i was getting gouden researches constantly, i have meck gun now and now its only rigging

[cobalt robin]

bro how 🙏

[ivory sigil]

does sandy mic gone if store reset?

[cobalt robin]

you can just buy it again after reset

[whole crypt]

wait till you hear that's with 2 copies of meck gun + 39 prints for the third now

[cobalt robin]

my luck with ur prints was horrible, my 30min Q never give me any

[whole crypt]

the thing about probabilty is shit averages out eventually, you just need to picking the right researches

[cobalt robin]

well im still waiting for that to happen

im picking the best researches that i can 😔

[late flame]

rng hating you by giving you the same options after you hit that reroll button

[sinful relic]

so uh is she immediately better than she was before or?

[wind hazel]

yes

[sinful relic]

would the scepter or hunting bow work better for her?

purple or blue

[wind hazel]

scepter most of the time, purple

[sinful relic]

got it

[wind hazel]

maybe you should be saving your augment modules though

[sinful relic]

save? im fine with doing that.

[wind hazel]

purple augs are less priority, you can craft them later

[sinful relic]

gotcha

well its time to take a break, oil very low and morale very low. im assuming i get most of the decor coins from commissions?

thank you again for help

[frigid linden]

What's a good USS tank to replace Portland? This is my boss fleet

[cobalt robin]

anchorage

[sleek bolt]

Guys, did IJN Ise dont need dupe/bulin for retrofit?
I dont see any slot for bulin to retrofit

[fair lance]

Not all retrofits require bulins/copies

[woven star]

Ise have not best retrofit. She loose dd gun instead of seaplanes slot

You can do this just for fan bbv

[robust onyx]

The 4 IJN retrofit BBV suck more after retrofit

[woven star]

I made her for fun knowing that never use her again and cuz have a lot coins and materials. But yeah. They suck. Kek she even loose efficiency on that slot. Devs hates bbv

[brave rover]

what stages should i farm if theres no event on?

im trying to unlock plymouth in the research thingy so my vanguard is a bit stinky

[woven star]

You can start from w9 (oil cap) and as higher as you can. Usually w12-1 for exp and w12-4 for coins

[late flame]

12-1 more exp, smaller map good if you throwing in submarine leveling

12-4 more gold as mentioned

Same for 13-1/13-4 but they need better anti air or more CVs as compared to w12

[sinful relic]

is the canteen and merchant a decent level for now?

[brave rover]

ty fellas ^ i think ima focus on xp

[woven star]

Oil and coins cap holder higher with lvl. Plus more you get per hour

I'm focusing on canteen cuz as beginner hard to get coin overflow

[sinful relic]

since i reached 9-1 coin grinding has been easier, i can just manage, currently its my morale which im sorta spamming commissions and 3 staring all the campaign so i can easily upgrade.

[forest palm]

you shouldn't sit in world 9 for long, pushing to world 12 is to your benefit

[fluid merlin]

if i want a front liner do i pull light heavy or special banner

[turbid marsh]

none at this point

[forest palm]

Heavy and Special, but you shouldn't actively pull from those

[turbid marsh]

why pull when december UR is really near, you ll get plenty of frontliners from that pool (special)

[fluid merlin]

oh ogae than

[turbid marsh]

stick to what you have right now, like, portland or something. gonna assume you kinda new

[hybrid forge]

How good are the DAL shipgirls? Can I get a tl;dr?

.. or even a link is fine, I can read.

[weary edge]

vanguard units good

[sinful relic]

how does this look for equipment? i was reading the guide and this is kinda what i chose, i chose the radar because i didnt have anything else and it decreases ambush which im REALLY unlucky with dodging.

[wind hazel]

not even blue camo or steering?

[sinful relic]

nope i have a common steering

[wind hazel]

open some tech boxes

[sinful relic]

i have none, ive been composing them to T3 and opening but i keep getting the same things

[wind hazel]

what about crafting them?

[sinful relic]

wha? i dont have any steering or camo blueprints

that kinda sucks ngl

[wind hazel]

just use that then lol

[undone plover]

Your priority to upgrade imo should be

Invest in main fleet so you can push
Invest in canteen (oil)
Invest in merchant

So if you can upgrade canteen do it as long as your main fleet (6 ships) are in a decent spot where u are not forced to run a lower map

[undone plover]

Dont forget to enhance the gun as well
U probably can take it up to +10 since u are unlikely to get good CL guns for a while

Guns planes and main tank aux gear is high prio to enhance
Before other stuff
If u are short on coin

[trail dagger]

are the top planes the build for making ark royal damage carrier?

[forest palm]

no

[sinful relic]

yep ill try to upgrade the canteent and merchant to max, and yeah i enhanced her weapons, i was just making sure she was good to go as i need eto be sure since i was about to take her exp grinding. the gear im gonna work on for 10+ is unicorns weapons and alabama, and then tohka's aswell.

[undone plover]

/equip
check here quick gear guide

[forest palm]

the planes you put on your CV, Ark in this case, depends on what you're fighting and the other CVs you are using

[undone plover]

[undone plover]

No qgg link

[sick kettle]

whats the minimal cubes safe amount to invest h research

[sinful relic]

tohka is my main form of damage currently almost everything about her is maxed, apart from her main weapons of course. so once i get her proper weapons she will be good to go

[forest palm]

400+

[undone plover]

No worries
Just dont sit on very bad guns waiting for end game stuff
It is fine to enhance them to +6 +8 or even +10 if u think it will be a while
Main gun enhance is rly important
It shortens their cooldown and increases their dmg

[sinful relic]

i noted the ships like to hit torps when auto so for the twins i actually swapped the radar out for the anti torp hull aux thingy

[ivory pawn]

I usually say 800-1000.

[undone plover]

Evasion gear is better tbh
It also helps with torp defense
That gear we mostly only use in ch15

If u can get blue rarity camo/steering use that

[sinful relic]

thats good to know, tohka actually has a golden weapon ( i was told it was a pretty good upgrade from what she was using as she was using the purple version already) i think its the Eugen gun? i have to check again im unsure

[sinful relic]

i barely have evasion gear ngl

[trail dagger]

Plan using ark to fill my budget Bossing CV, Centaur Enti Ark

[undone plover]

Yeah eugen gun will stay with u for a while
So just +10 when u can
Unless u got unzen gun already from her event

[sinful relic]

i actually started like 5-6 days ago, not too far. i did play before but i didnt really invest my time i only did dailies and such, managed to get allot of ships but the account was sorta ruined in terms of resources, so i started anew. and asked for a fair bit of help here

[undone plover]

I see
Well all good
Good luck and dont be afraid to ask for help

[agile patrol]

are there any rough estimates, even if a little inaccurate for how many W12 sorties it would take to get a ship to 125?

[sinful relic]

this is my tohka build so far ( i think thats the eugen gun? im looking at the guide)

[sick kettle]

does form now can be a viable stun now that she got an aug?

[undone plover]

I think I did that calc a while back
For level 120

[agile patrol]

thats great!! can you please share

[undone plover]

No
It is still not 100%
Aug increased her dmg
Not her rng

[undone plover]

Let me see if I can find it

[agile patrol]

🍯

[sinful relic]

wait... i just noticed when you max enhance a character is there a bug or something where it decreases it by 1 level?

[wind hazel]

wha

[sinful relic]

ive maxed her enhanced thingy 3 times now and it wont stay maxed

[wind hazel]

they max out at lv100

[rapid summit]

Is San Diego a good ship for w13?

[undone plover]

Like mori said even if u max enhance them at level 90 there is still 10 more levels left until 100
And they unlock more enhance potential
If that makes sense

[sinful relic]

oh? so itll keep regressing instead of staying like this?

[wind hazel]

yes until lv100, they will stop increasing then

[sinful relic]

okay phew, i just thought i was going insane.

[wind hazel]

maybe you are. maybe we all are

[sinful relic]

right now im sorta just waiting on morale to go back to 100 or 150 and then i can continue coin grinding. atleast i know its 3 hours to max the morale from 0 im assuming?

[ivory pawn]

30/hr base, 40/hr if on Dorm f1, 50/hr if on Dorm f2.

[wind hazel]

if they are all on 2nd floor yeah

[sinful relic]

OH 2nd floor. forgor

[undone plover]

I cant find it
But some quick napkin maths

Each ships should get around 7605 xp when u sortie in chapter 12-4 and fight only mob
Assuming u use diff fleet for boss

Level 125 needs 4,545,675 xp
So that is 597 sorties

If they mvp or as flagship it needs less sorties
also u dont rly start at level 1
Usually around level 90 so even less

Rainbow ships need 20% more

[wind hazel]

it's 20 outside dorm

[sinful relic]

ive been rotating them so they go above 119 i think it was?

[ivory pawn]

But base also caps at 119, so basically 3, 4, or 6 hours.

[sinful relic]

if only decor coins could come home faster

[wind hazel]

if you can play whole day, i suggest you to grind at 150 morale, do 3 sortie, rest ~40 mins, repeat process

assuming you have 6 slots in your dorm

if you dont then fuck em morale

[sinful relic]

thats the problem.. i dont have 6 yet, i have 3, im sorta spamming comissions to get the dorm upgraded, i have more than enough gems to upgrade to 2nd floor.

[sinful relic]

doesnt morale make affinity go down?

[agile patrol]

FIVE HUNDRED NINETY SEVEN
oh my god that's.. 170,000+ oil 😭
i guess it's more of a time game than a grinding one

[wind hazel]

at 0

[undone plover]

Yeah it is a dumb time gate
We got 200 tokens in mail yesterday I think so u will soon get there

[sinful relic]

taking advantage of me sleeping to do this (dont mind the bulin, shes there for emotional support before being sacrificed)

[undone plover]

Well
We get around 6000 oil/day I think
Also u level 6 ships at the same time
And dont forget some get mvp
And 1 is flag
So it is kinda less
There is always dorm first floor and xp books if for some reason u wanted to speedrun 1 ship

[agile patrol]

6000 oil a day?
can we exchange games i think i have the wrong version of AL installed

[undone plover]

That commission is not rly good tbh
Just farm whenever u can

[sinful relic]

3 am tho... i grind when i awaketh.

[undone plover]

Early on u will spend a lot of oil so dont need to worry about overflowing
Even with a basic dorm

U can just let oil collect overnight
No need to waste it on this comm

[agile patrol]

oh that comm is bad..?
ive been doing it forever :(

[sick kettle]

you could try getting the 8-6 hours instead if you have it

[sinful relic]

uh everything is sorta done for comms for daily atleast.

[agile patrol]

wait now that i think about it
4500 coins for 1200 oil is really really bad...

oops.

[wind hazel]

[undone plover]

If u use it to cycle cubes it is kinda not horrible
But I wouldnt do it if u are even slightly active in the game

[forest palm]

you should checkout guides in #bot-spam

[sinful relic]

i only clicked that comm cuz i wanted uhh twins to level up, with coins as the bonus

as i sleep

[undone plover]

But if u spend oil on this commission u will run out sooner
It only gives you 15xp per oil

What chapter can u farm at the moment?

[sinful relic]

9-1, trying to get the twins up to level and then i can continue pushing.

[brave rover]

does aurora want a sword augment?

[sinful relic]

doesnt exactly help that i have 1 fleet and i uh run out of ammo which causes me to sorta do half damage.

[brave rover]

i know most vanguard take sword

[rain vine]

would just use dorm or exp mats to at least 80

[undone plover]

9-1 is 28 xp per oil
Almost double this
And it is better gold

[sinful relic]

well i cant exactly macro when i sleep, wouldnt that be like cheating or something.

[undone plover]

With level advantage u will clear it soon
And can start working on fleet 2

[undone plover]

No I mean just let the oil collect overnight
Do the other commissions
It is fine if u do nothing overnight

[sinful relic]

i ran out of exp mats... trying to get everyone up to level while pushing (i didnt use them past level 80)

[undone plover]

That is alright
What is your current fleet if u dont mind me asking

Screenshot just so we see all the levels
Will be easier

[sinful relic]

insert twins in middle

[undone plover]

Sword is fine for most situations yeah
There is some slash mechanics that can change things but if u cba just use sword on CL

[brave rover]

yuhyuh ty

[undone plover]

Decent fleet
With proper gear u will clear soon
When u cant push anymore can think about fleet 2
Ch9 is a decent spot to raise fleet 2

Maps have threat levels that go down when u keep clearing them
So clear ch 9-1 enough times (around 10) and your ships will get big “buffs” and u can raise very weak ships here

Also if u have any cats put them in those empty slots
Better than nothing

[sinful relic]

currently its 3 stars, also does the auto search make it so it doesnt do the boss straight away or...?

[undone plover]

No
Just turn it on
It means it will try to do the boss as soon as it is available

[sinful relic]

OH yeah ive been doing that

[undone plover]

[whole lichen]

How to unlock meta showdown rq

[undone plover]

I think it unlocks with op si
Around commander level 60? If I am not mistaken

[sinful relic]

anyways im going to pass out thank you for the help and goooood night

[undone plover]

U do opsi to get coordinates and then can “summon” the boss to fight it and ask for help to defeat it

[agile patrol]

is anchorage FS5 necessary or a significant boost or can i move on to the next coinup? she's FS3 right now

[forest palm]

it just gives her a bit more tankiness with the +15 luck she gets, and that's kind of it. the skill upgrade effectively does nothing for her

[agile patrol]

oh. time to move on then!! sorry anchy ⚓

oh my god it'll take 33 days to get avp to dev30 😭 let alone fs5

this better be worth it

[ivory sigil]

Huh 9-1 is better than 9-4 ?

Wait has anyone got the girl boss in 9-4??

[forest palm]

yes...

[stark quiver]

hm?

[ivory pawn]

It's pretty common for x-1 stages to give more xp than x-4 stages. In return, x-4 gives more coin.

[forest palm]

Niizuki is a rather old ship at this point...

[onyx flame]

basically same time frame as a DR

[sweet delta]

What are the reward quantities and chances from question mark tiles in campaign for each chapter?

[clear harbor]

Is there a good way to search this channel for a guide for Kirov Meta (or other older ships) like Sushi's guide to Yuudachi M?

[strange sphinx]

it is too random and sometimes it even have the long lost Emergency Repair kit

Like there's no ERK in Higher levels

iirc it can also give coins and T1-T3 gear box

[violet grail]

And it can spawn a coin ship iirc and ammo reload as well. No clue about amounts and chances tho.

[strange sphinx]

hmmmm so the Auto AI will go to Ammo port now if the fleet is 3 or 2 ammo left hah

[violet grail]

Yeah makes single fleet farming more viable on 12-4.

[errant jacinth]

can someone explain opsi to me? I'm just killing everything but idk if that's what I actually should be doing

[stray crane]

do u guys have a guild guide or something i have no idea how it work

looks like i need a lot of guild coin to upgrade my guild

[stray crane]

clear the entire map and u good

u finish the main story yet ?

[errant jacinth]

no, should I focus on that?

[stray crane]

yes

[strange sphinx]

The main story of Opsi, toeki meant

[scenic mesa]

Help I logged in and this screen keeps popping up, (I already have a yostar account that I use and I'm level 97

[strange sphinx]

[vale spindle]

What happens when you close the window

[scenic mesa]

Same thing I reboot the game and this screen pops up again

Did I just lose my account?

[vale spindle]

you can't close this window and login to the game normally?

[scenic mesa]

Yes

[vale spindle]

use the same email as your yostar acc there and pray

[strange sphinx]

ha pray.... that's really concerning

[scenic mesa]

Same thing happens I close this and it pops up again

[vale spindle]

Put the email the same one that you did for yostar account

[scenic mesa]

Ok

Hang on

Then send code?

[strange sphinx]

yes

[stark quiver]

What’s this

[onyx flame]

no internet

[strange sphinx]

~~No internet ~~

[scenic mesa]

What in the world is happening?

[strange sphinx]

so it is bounded already

[shadow yarrow]

Is world 10 or 11 more oil limit efficient for blue light

[onyx flame]

you can login to yostar website and see what account your email is binded to
but other than that there should be an option to ignore binding and login
and you prob want to drop a email to support to unbind the game account that is linked to the yostar account if its not correctly linked

[scenic mesa]

Yes I was just using it earlier, I logged in and this happened

[onyx flame]

yea prob want to log into yostar account management website and see what game acocunt is linked to the email

and if its the incorrect one, you have to email support to unbind it

[scenic mesa]

Thanks

I'll try that

Should I uninstall the game and reinstall it?

[sweet delta]

Ensure that you have your account on another device or bound first .

Can you also show a short video of what happens when you try to log in and close the yellow window?

[atomic solstice]

can I get some help making fleets for w15? if my dock is even strong enough for it

[rain bobcat]

def not

[atomic solstice]

D:

[hushed delta]

you got healers but you are missing some strong AA options like Guam, Laf2, Shimanto and Scylla

dunno how far could Reno, Seattle and San diego get you

[atomic solstice]

I have scylla, can raise her

should I focus on developing shimanto then?

[rain bobcat]

what

scylla is dogshit for w15 lol and isn't even close to being a strong AA either

[void turtle]

12-4 is the best stage to farm gold, correct?

[rain bobcat]

14-4

[atomic solstice]

who else do I need

[rain bobcat]

brest darc shimanto

and even then I dont think its easy given that you have 0 UR vanguards

[atomic solstice]

darc?

[turbid marsh]

highly doubt you are ready for w15 XD just keep raising ship for that sweet fleet tech nectar and wait for better aa options

[rain vine]

jeanne darc?

[turbid marsh]

oh he missed lion sama

[novel solstice]

Technically 14 gives more gold/oil, but I find 12 is better for gold farm because I can use it to level up junk ships at the same time whereas the junk doesn't survive in 14. Doing two things at once is better than being slightly more efficient at one thing.

[tulip tinsel]

luckily laf2 and guam coming soon

[atomic solstice]

I can rise jeanne

and start shimanto

[turbid marsh]

dont even bother with jean or brest for now, in my opinion, stay away from w15 until guam/laffey event rerun, in my opinion

and yes, do shimanto

[atomic solstice]

shits bitchin

[stark quiver]

why would you waste your time in pr5 for brest

[hushed delta]

wdym, pr5 have the best CL gun, needed for BBs too

[onyx flame]

~~just wait like possibly 2 more month for it to be coinable/gear lab ~~

[sweet delta]

It very much is a waste of time when pr5 is retired likely within 2 months

[turbid marsh]

that gun is worth 3 months of time for pr5?

[viscid swift]

That gun on BBs most of the time is just +20 Firepower stat

[stark quiver]

that cl gun is likely gonna be in next gearlab update
its not needed for bbs
idk why youd waste time in a season thats overshadowed by almost everything relavent

[hushed delta]

I didn't know you had already calculated the gun to come to the gear lab any time soon

[stark quiver]

top meta doesnt use that many CLs either

[stark quiver]

i mean even if it doesnt, its still not worth the time to spend in pr5

[turbid marsh]

maybe yorktown meta would be easy enough to ignore that 20 fp XD

otherwise i doubt 20 fp will contribute so much into beating w15, cuase if that's a deciding factor, i think there are other... adjustments to be made

[brave rover]

aside from the dorm is there ways to refill the mood is it just time at that point

[undone plover]

it refills by itself up to 119 even outside dorm but slower
but yeah there is no way to make it faster than dorm

[soft raft]

Dorm just makes morale regen faster

[brave rover]

bruh moment

im 91% to plymouth :C

[stark quiver]

how much % collection is needed to get even a rank in amagi

[errant jacinth]

if I'm farming for royal navy xp, is there any point in keeping a MLB javelin, or any other MLB unit?

[void turtle]

they still contribute to PR exp grind

[errant jacinth]

oh is PR exp not just based on MLBs?

[undone plover]

u mean tech points or xp?

[errant jacinth]

tech points sorry

[void turtle]

tech points, you can get more for getting them to lv120

[errant jacinth]

ohhh then should I keep everyone around? including grey/blue rarity ppl?

[undone plover]

at level 120 they also give it
but getting it from MLB is easier
up to u if u want to keep them or not
some ppl like to eventually get every ship to level 120
If u dont feel like it or you dont have dock space then retiring easily obtainable ships like javelin is i guess not the worst thing

[ocean terrace]

I assume tech points stay permanent after you obtain, mlb and lvl120 them right? as in, even if I retire them, the tech points stay

[tulip tinsel]

yeas

[errant jacinth]

also it's worth using the purple bulins to MLB blue/grey rarity ships right?

[stark quiver]

how many exp books is needed for level 85 on a rare boat

[undone plover]

174

[soft raft]

Depends cuz commons are well, quite common to get

[forest palm]

some of them have rewards tied to them

[errant jacinth]

is there another way to MLB them? I didn't see an option to use dupes or anything 😭

[tulip tinsel]

i'd only put it on blue's that's harder to get/no current way to obtain dupes of

[soft raft]

You can use dupes tho? Where are you looking?

[ocean terrace]

maybe the dupes are locked or levelled from commissions
and you don't have the setting on to see them

[errant jacinth]

ohhh they're locked tyy

[stark quiver]

are you srs
how fast is dorm exp with best food to level 70

[forest palm]

a few days...

[errant jacinth]

also do I only get tech points at MLB? not at any other limit break?

same goes for lvl, I only get points at 120?

[forest palm]

obtain, mlb, 120

you get faction fleet tech for those three

[tulip tinsel]

/fleettech

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Q: How do I get more fleet technology points?
You get fleet tech points by:
Collecting the ship (~20%)
Max Limit Breaking it (~45%)
Achieving level 120 (~35%)

-Higher rarity ships gives more fleet tech pts .
-Heavier ship hulls also gives more fleet tech pts: CV=BB>CA>CL>DD

Side notes:
-PR ships give more fleet tech pts than normal but follow the above formula with development 30 replacing MLB.
-META ships are considered a separate META faction. They give same bonuses as their non-META versions.
-Collab ships, Muse and little versions of ships e.g. Li'l Sandy, Clevelad and Lena etc do not give any fleet tech pts.
-Iron Blood faction ships receive double the normal tech points compared to other nations.

For more information and exact amounts, consult the wiki
You can also use this Fleet Tech Tracker by mrlar

[undone plover]

this assumes u can maintain 35% xp buff which I dont think u can realistically so it should be slower

[stark quiver]

how do i maintain 35% exp buff

[tulip tinsel]

i think it's a buff from the 20k food

[undone plover]

well... I dont think u can
i have never tried
just use the last 3 foods as much as u can
as soon as the buff ends

[inland shoal]

You feed 20k,10k and 5k food and keep them all up at all time
Which I should think means overfeeding but idk

[forest palm]

so at the least 4 days at the most 6 days to get a ship to 70...books would be simpler...

[undone plover]

can u even overfeed

[inland shoal]

You can use 20k food at 1k below cap

[undone plover]

wth
did I just never try this

I think I have never done this

[stark quiver]

oh i have a lot of that so

[turbid marsh]

i thought that was owned: 20000 for a sec

[errant jacinth]

since a lot of the elite ships are campaign drops, would it be better to just farm the campaign to get dupes to MLB? or are elite bulins common enough to not really worry?

[forest palm]

Elite Bulins are fairly easy to come across, you can purchase 10 a month if you have the medals...

[undone plover]

i wouldnt worry
stick in ch12
anything that drops there is fine to use and wait
the rest just use bulins when u get em

[errant jacinth]

I'm only 62 so I can't clear beyond chapter 8 rn 😭

[forest palm]

you'll get there

[errant jacinth]

what about the super rare bulins?

[undone plover]

yeah dont stick around in lower chapters for dupes was my point
just go to 12 asap

SR bulins are rarer
but still u get enough to get by
and farming SR from maps is painful and not recommended

[forest palm]

those are a bit more scarce, there are sources to get them from, but it's better to spend them carefully

[errant jacinth]

it just feels like I have a lot cause I’m hoarding them rn

[forest palm]

and they can disappear rather quickly, because it's 4 per ship, so that's not really a lot on the whole

[errant jacinth]

is there anyone from that list I should MLB immediately? or can I use them on hood & dido for tech points?

[tulip tinsel]

if you want to mlb muse dido don't she gives no tech

[errant jacinth]

wait actually? dido gives no points? 😭

[tulip tinsel]

her normal version does, muse doesn't

[rain bobcat]

that's not normal dido

[forest palm]

Muse, Collab, and Children do not give any Fleet Technology

[errant jacinth]

ohhh then I’ll just use my bulins on hood

[sweet delta]

Tohka Kaguya Yoshino are your best non MLB golds

[red sapphire]

Is Nept fs5 worth?

[sweet delta]

Don't, Hood is useless

[gilded carbon]

do we know wich gold Meta will be avaialble permanently with the next update? Does it follow the order in wich they where released?

[errant jacinth]

oh I just want her for tech points

[sweet delta]

You probably don't need Royal Navy tech points yet

[forest palm]

oh, right I knew I was forgetting one, Meta ships don't give Fleet Tech either

[sweet delta]

/wiki meta showdown

[odd root]

No wiki pages found.

[errant jacinth]

when would I need them? I just like chesire so I'm focusing on her rn since I got saint louis

[odd root]

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

[sweet delta]

It appears that Wichita is the next

[sweet delta]

Youll want Royal tech shortly before Plymouth becomes coinable, which is probably in 2 months

[gilded carbon]

thanks

[blissful berry]

I completely forgot about her and I was at 8% this morning, do you guys think I'll make it?

[errant jacinth]

how does this meta thingy work btw? I just unlocked it?

[red sapphire]

Quick question. If I'm looking for a tank for my fleet, and I check the End Game tier list, what row do I priorize to choose the ship?

[rain bobcat]

whatever ur doing

or whoever has combined highest on all except CM EX

also its column not row

row goes flat column is vertical

[sweet delta]

the tier and the self survival I suppose

[red sapphire]

Yes column I meant

[red sapphire]

Okay, thanks

[analog tendon]

Is this talking about using the Request Recon order? And if so, what were the devs smoking when they decided the amount? This will take an eternity

[viscid swift]

no

[sweet delta]

Assuming you already did today's, you would need to average 70 points on each assist

[viscid swift]

I forget what the exact requirements are but just clear the node in secured 43 times

[boreal wagon]

wasnt it just the lil hidden things next to the booster pads that give +x to one of the 3 stats

[cobalt robin]

that says perform recon in hidden zones 43 times no?

[viscid swift]

where does it say Hidden

[red sapphire]

For endgame, what self survival rank would be ok to use on the list? I want to try min maxing a bit

[sweet delta]

I have never seen the game refer to hidden zones as anomalous

[boreal wagon]

not a single star counts hidden zones anyway

[cobalt robin]

isnt anomalous hidden?

[sweet delta]

Whatever survives the battle you play

[cobalt robin]

sadge

[red sapphire]

Make sense, ty

[cobalt robin]

but how would you perform recon in that zone 43 times?

[boreal wagon]

its just picking up these

[viscid swift]

I think yeah

[sweet delta]

I know yeah

[inland shoal]

Just repeat the zone until you got the effect tile 43 times

[sweet delta]

What if I repeat the zone but never step on the effect tile

[cobalt robin]

what is the effect tile, i mightve forgor

[inland shoal]

This

[boreal wagon]

next to the little boosters that push your fleet around there is always a hidden effect tile that when picked up gives one adapt stat up

[inland shoal]

It's also whirlwinds tho not just "booster pads" currents

[cobalt robin]

does auto pick those up?

[boreal wagon]

i believe so

[inland shoal]

Some of them

[boreal wagon]

if they are reachable it should pick them up

[cobalt robin]

[rain bobcat]

anomalous=anomaly

[inland shoal]

Yeah but auto isn't great at handling pathing through currents

[boreal wagon]

it also cant work boosters

[cobalt robin]

also is there a way to find out what the ??? are?

[inland shoal]

Get all 3 stars
Or look it up

Or randomly do it

[jaunty pecan]

did they announce until when this lasts?

[cobalt robin]

im at 204/360 the rest of the stars are these weird ones

[boreal wagon]

/wiki list of operatio

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

[cobalt robin]

ill just bookmark this and deal with it later 😔

[blissful berry]

I think the most ive done for assist has been 63 points

[sweet delta]

You can wait for dossier then

[blissful berry]

Will probably have to, I forget that one exist. Im still waiting for META Vestal to reappear to finish LB her

[cobalt robin]

will i need to start from 0 when yuudachi M is in dossier?

[viscid swift]

no

[tulip tinsel]

i think it carries over

[cobalt robin]

les go

[rapid shard]

Sync points carry over when they are added to dossier? I never got the last limitbreak for Kawakaze META

[undone plover]

yes they do

[ocean terrace]

hmmm, is it better to go over soft cap now and start stacking coins for pulling the UR event?
orrrr just stay around soft cap and just use daily income during the event to pull

left = 1st option?

[tulip tinsel]

atleast i am stacking rn

[ocean terrace]

alright tyyy

ok so why are there 2 different options

[tulip tinsel]

but it should be doable both ways

[ocean terrace]

well consider my situation (W10) and new

I guess I shouldn't waste my munitions daily income then

[tulip tinsel]

i haven't claimed mine in months bcs i was always over cap lol

[ocean terrace]

yurr but you're endgame

[tulip tinsel]

nah

[ocean terrace]

mmm if you say so

also I'm struggling with c5 zones in opsi, and a couple of my missions are there

having to use repair packs constantly

[cobalt robin]

my coin just disappear because im trying to dev30 gouden

[ocean terrace]

guess I'll just have to hold off on c5 c6 zone missions

[tulip tinsel]

when i started opsi i could barely do c4 lol

[ocean terrace]

yeah DAL ships doing me a big favour

[tulip tinsel]

back then i was so god damn clueless didn't even know what hull type i can put where

[ocean terrace]

also I know I'm aiming to clear out the port shops, but is there a vague priority on the items? (other than skipping gibraltar)

[tulip tinsel]

ignore the one with the meta mats, it should be doable even for a beginner to clear it out mostly

[ocean terrace]

I assume I prioritise gear lab stuff and loggers?

[tulip tinsel]

i always grab rainbow stuff and gold plates

[forest palm]

beginners can largely just ignore meta stuff till later on if they so desire

[viscid swift]

UR design plans, T3 and T2 Ordinance reports, Gold Plates, Gold Materials for the lab, SR deisgn plans, and loggers for hidden modes and abyssals if you can clear them

[ocean terrace]

are hidden modes and abyssals usually hard?

if I'm struggling wth c5 then you know, doubt I can do anything too advanced

[cobalt robin]

abyssals can be from c4-c6

[tulip tinsel]

abyssals are a bit harder

[ocean terrace]

might have to hold that off till later in the month then

[tulip tinsel]

just clear map and get the buffs, dailies

[ocean terrace]

would you recommend I save my purple coins for when I unlock higher tier purchases or just buy out the ones I can

[cobalt robin]

you can also buy a decent amount of the purple chips with coins

[tulip tinsel]

you can wait till end of the month to buy out, it won't dissapear

[ocean terrace]

got it thank youuu

[tulip tinsel]

ah yeah you can exchange opsi coin into purple token in first port or whatever it's called

[ocean terrace]

just feels redundant sometimes to not be able to change/upgrade gear on my ships

I don't think I've changed gear in ages

my flandre/champy gun isn't even being put to work since I'm not W13 yet

[cobalt robin]

its doable since you can replenish resolve twice in abyssals

[ocean terrace]

also is it normal that I can't progress story because the mission is deep inside c6

[cobalt robin]

you need to secure the zone next to it to enter the c7 zone (also known as arbiter)

[ocean terrace]

yeah but if I can't do c5, I doubt I'll be able to do c6 anytime soon

and I was told to finish story stuff asap

[cobalt robin]

not the full story, clearing chapter 4 is the minimum since that unlocks everything, the rest you can do at your own pace

[ocean terrace]

does this mean that the max capacity of coins that can accumulate in munitions is 8.9k?
with 12k being when the munitions is maxed out?

[viscid swift]

Yes

[tulip tinsel]

12k at comm lvl 100(and ofc maxed out building)

[ocean terrace]

oh it scales with commander level too? okay ty

[tulip tinsel]

every 5 commander lvl you unlock next tier

[ocean terrace]

ahhh I see

[tulip tinsel]

until 100

[ocean terrace]

got it got it

[cobalt robin]

someone wanna help me optimize my opsi fleets ?

[tulip tinsel]

wait are flapjacks better than f6f hellcat's??

interesting

[vale spindle]

2x1000lb vs 2x500lb

[tulip tinsel]

man i have no idea how planes work , i just throw in stuff that looks good

[cobalt robin]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/equipment/ you can look at this then

[vale spindle]

generally the bigger the bomb number and the more of them the better, although its not linear scaling

[tulip tinsel]

i read all the guides like 20 times by now, im just lazy and i have 🦁 so why bother

[sweet delta]

Flapjack is the sexiest airplane in game so I guess you were missing out

[cobalt robin]

agreed

[tulip tinsel]

crafted first one 5min ago

[cobalt robin]

imma just create a thread and maybe someone pops in

Opsi fleets

[errant jacinth]

how does meta showdown work? I just unlocked it and I'm a wee bit confused

[tulip tinsel]

you use 100 currency and fight a boss=get frags or whatever it's called and get reward and the meta ship

[errant jacinth]

oh so I'm guarenteed to get the meta ship then? so long as I fight the boss?

[tulip tinsel]

if you collect enough pts

[ocean terrace]

is a good way of getting fleet tech, buying ships from guild shop and resetting to buy more?

[cobalt robin]

you need to fight it quite a lot of times to unlock it and then get enough fragments for all of the limit breaks

[errant jacinth]

ohh then I'm kinda cooked right? I saw the current fight only had 24 hours left

[tulip tinsel]

it will get into perma in like 2 years or smth

[cobalt robin]

at 25000 you get the last limit break, yuudachi meta is ending soon so you cant get everything but she will be added to dossier eventually (which is permanent)

[errant jacinth]

so it's still worth doing? even though I can't get all the rewards?

[tulip tinsel]

reward has cog chips so ig

[rain vine]

meta ships dont take up dock slots, so even if you dont get to 25k, its still worth trying to get as much of it done as possible

[errant jacinth]

also do I get rewards per each boss lvl I beat?

[tulip tinsel]

incrases it's level up to lvl 15 and higher frag drop per clear

[rain vine]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/META_Showdown#Boss_Levels_&_Sync_Point_Gain

[errant jacinth]

I cleared the first two lvl, but now the boss doesn't show up 😭

[cobalt robin]

you can only clear it twice a day

[knotty jolt]

You're limited to 200 points a day

[knotty jolt]

You can technically fight it 7 times

3 from fighting other peoples meta fights, and 4 of your own if you saved your 200 points from yesterday

[cobalt robin]

[zenith heron]

Is there a Chart at least either from Guides or from the wiki that depicts which Campaign Chapter-Level gives the most EXP for ships? like let's say, 11-1 compared to 12-1 and 12-4?

[knotty jolt]

Yes I forget where it is someone else likely has it

But 11-1 iirc is the most XP efficient but by like 10-15% compared to 12-4 but due to 12-4 having cog chips and better coin effort is still the better XP grind spot

[forest palm]

11-1 technically is the best XP farm, but it lacks the drops of 12-1 which becomes the premier XP farm due to the loot table having Augment Rocks, and Cog Chips

[lyric stump]

Hows 13-1 vs 12-4? Shall i switch?

[forest palm]

for what? chips?

[lyric stump]

Exp coins

[forest palm]

no...13-1 is not that much of an increase to justify moving to it

[knotty jolt]

Best for coins per is 14-4 iirc

But you don't do it for XP since the ship and gear requirements

[forest palm]

not really you run into time clear inefficiency

[knotty jolt]

[cobalt robin]

Who's the next meta ship?

[forest palm]

#game-news

[cobalt robin]

[zenith heron]

11-1 it is then, since I have no problems with the others mentioned unless it arises...

[forest palm]

nah, you're actively sabotaging yourself by grinding 11-1

[eternal moth]

And honestly, 12-1 is easier

[zenith heron]

||This is for a favor of my Collab Ships, I'm coming back to 12-1 and 12-4 with regular ships, so don't worry ||

[cobalt robin]

Will she be mid like most metas 😔 ?

[eternal moth]

That doesn't even make sense, but ok, it's your game.

[tulip tinsel]

i hope she at least has good tech

[eternal moth]

She'll have the same tech as Yorkie

[forest palm]

regular has RLD, so~ there is hope

[zenith heron]

||My bad, its Date A Live and all but I'll still consider after doing maxing all of my DAL units||

[cobalt robin]

Next perma ur will be yorky right?

When is that?

[eternal moth]

We don't know. They may give info during the next live stream on the 15th, but that's not certain

[cobalt robin]

I was hoping it would be soon since my pity is at 350 but probably not since musashi is pretty recent 😔

imma just get musashi since I don't have her

[steel swift]

Is she good for the campaign?

[eternal moth]

Musashi's better in most instances anyways

[eternal moth]

#trophy-room is that way

[stark quiver]

instant trophy room 💀

[cobalt robin]

I know but I mostly play for my waifus

[steel swift]

No, I'm just asking

[tulip tinsel]

useless if not mlb

[cobalt robin]

Very good for campaign, although at dev30

[cobalt robin]

here I am using dev25 gouden

[tulip tinsel]

i use a dev 20 plymouth to get royal navy xp for cheshire lol

[forest palm]

most vanguard PRY/DR get the majority of their bulk at Dev 25

[cobalt robin]

Didn't know that

[eternal moth]

I forget what Gouden even does.

[forest palm]

AA

[tulip tinsel]

weird airstrike copy

[cobalt robin]

From what I heard, tanky and very good aa

[steel swift]

Will she be able to make it to chapter 15?

[eternal moth]

If she's dev30 probably

[cobalt robin]

If she's dev30 probably

[steel swift]

Okay

[cobalt robin]

will take an eternity tho since there's no catch-up for pr8

[pallid wind]

if im getting fried in chap 10 what should i do...

[zenith heron]

Does Gouden Leuww still possibly jamms with BB Volley timing?

[rain bobcat]

not that you would use her in a bb team anyway

[cobalt robin]

proper gear, levels and mlb ships

[pallid wind]

so its safe to assume its not the choice of ships i have then right

[next escarp]

Nelson good as BB?

[cobalt robin]

Might be depending which ships you have

[stark quiver]

is it better to farm 10-1 or 14-1 for nachi

[pallid wind]

u wanna take a peak twin for me...

[cobalt robin]

Sure why not

[rain bobcat]

[tulip tinsel]

wait who reruns after guam and laff2?

[rain bobcat]

soyuz

[cobalt robin]

hestia and ryu I respect it but...

[viscid swift]

working on a 2nd fleet would help

and not using a repair ship

[rain bobcat]

its guam soyuz alsace amagi fritz

[pallid wind]

😭 how the hell do you even start making naother fleet

[tulip tinsel]

so great i want all ur bb's so badly

[cobalt robin]

Also retrofit your Helena and Portland, if you got tohka or kurumi from recent collab you can replace port

[stark quiver]

i get random react but not answer

[viscid swift]

what do you mean

[rain bobcat]

look at the coin chart or smth, but prob 14-1

[viscid swift]

use XP packs to boost them up to a level where they won't die and start grinding with them

[pallid wind]

kurumi is a tank?? i have all the collab my plan was thatd be the 2nd fleet 💀

[stark quiver]

full meta fleet or tech farm fleet

[pallid wind]

like who goes where

[zenith heron]

||I already got hit with a 11-1 vs 12-1 and 12-4 grinding for DAL ships, so idk what hits your dopamine for ||

[rain bobcat]

techfarm with uni+sandy works on all of ch14

[cobalt robin]

She can tank due to her survivability but tohka would be better for tanking

[viscid swift]

just start a thread and post your dock

[rain bobcat]

but obviously the levels you can get away with on the others depends on how shit they are

[viscid swift]

yes, very solid for W15 when Dev 30

[viscid swift]

https://suchiguma.github.io/deepresearch/auto-search-exp-and-coins/

[pallid wind]

Deck #2

[median prism]

Is prinz adalbert ok to MLB for tech points and as a grind ship for iron blood shipyard?

[stark quiver]

why sandy

[rain bobcat]

seems to get away with shittier vanguards

theres like z52 sandy or smth i tried eldridge shimanto guam gouden etc

[hollow gust]

If Sandy works then z52 just better

[rain bobcat]

but they'll die on 14-4

also because I dont have sandy on my other 2 fleets so I just use her

but yeah z52 or sandy is prob the best vg carry for 14

[hollow gust]

Gouden

[analog tendon]

I just finished getting all the catch-up blueprints for Anchorage and Agir (not like i can start researching them tho....damn tech points). Is there someone else i should focus next, or is whatever?

[cloud panther]

Guam?

[hollow gust]

no dps

[mint fable]

What's the best chapter for leveling Oil & Exp wise?

[soft raft]

Short answer: Theoretically Soyuz
Likely will have a SR event rerun in between tho

[soft raft]

12-1 and 12-4 are what most people do since it's the best balance between oil/xp efficency and difficulty for raising low level shitters

[mint fable]

Alright

[rain bobcat]

need someone to also contribute asw instead of relying on the other 2 shitters

[hollow gust]

uni

[cobalt robin]

Fritz is so far away

[hardy trench]

Is farming 2-1 actually worth it?

[hollow gust]

No

[forest palm]

2-1 died so long ago

[cloud panther]

We usually need cog more than coins if you get all the map drop ships already

[forest palm]

me throwing coin into a metaphorical fire because I have too much

[cobalt robin]

give me some 😔

[rain bobcat]

I was saved

[cloud panther]

[rain bobcat]

I had 600k and had to fork 120k to augments+ regearing

im bing chilling now

[cobalt robin]

How do y'all have so much 😔

[cloud panther]

U actually have the augment mats ready?

[rain bobcat]

of course lol

[stark quiver]

i have less than 100 at times

[viscid swift]

There's not much to use them on

[rain bobcat]

I have a ridiculous amount of blues because ive used like 1 million oil in the last 5 months

[rain bobcat]

im a chronic ch12 avoider

I level ships to 100 and run 13-4 immediately

and then past 110 I run 14-4

[cobalt robin]

[rain bobcat]

but even then people like cheeky have 300k coins doing 12-1

[viscid swift]

Well

More like 200k these days but

Cats have been expensive

[cobalt robin]

I burn through my daily 12-1 too quickly

[rain bobcat]

its hard to lose coins without 5+ cats daily running 14-4

[viscid swift]

Yeah but I am chronically addicted to leveling up ships

[cobalt robin]

I'm doing mvp control on vanguards so I'll just stick to 12-1

[rain bobcat]

[slow fox]

-# Yeah I realized that staying below 600k becomes so much easier when you stop doing 12+ campaign

[rain bobcat]

yeah

its because ch12 give you little profit after research

[forest palm]

I so do wish you could deposite coin into the bank

[rain bobcat]

some ppl are catching on and have started doing 13-4 -> 14-4 strat like me

[forest palm]

14-4 takes too long

[rain bobcat]

fair enough

I remote grind during work so I can do it

phone cant ever get hot if I remote to my pc lol

[viscid swift]

Too difficult to drag shitters through for my taste

[rain bobcat]

yeah that's fair

sometimes the shitters are too shit and have to stay at 13-4

[forest palm]

from my experience you get more runs, and coin out of the time you spent in 13-4 than you would 14-4

[cloud panther]

Sometimes my less than lv100 ships die in 13-4 but not 1-3

[viscid swift]

The efficiency for both is about the same anyway

[rain bobcat]

ive dragged through 4 purples with uni+z52/sandy in 14-4

[forest palm]

I haven't farmed 13-4 in over a year

[rain bobcat]

because its 7 mobs

[whole crypt]

I just stopped farming 13-4 because it doesn't drop nevada/homa

[cloud panther]

It actually auto eat bullet now to make it viable

[rain bobcat]

auto makes it much easier now because no more 0 ammo

[stark quiver]

yes because 1-3 is pretty easy

[viscid swift]

Also no Grey plate drops

[whole crypt]

but yeh I'll probably alternate between 12-4 and 13-4, but I kind of have a choice since I'm not stuck with shitters

[cloud panther]

And I only alternate between 13 1-3 mostly

The 4 map doesn't appeal to me

[whole crypt]

just a couple more days whichever stage it is so whatever

[rain bobcat]

[viscid swift]

well, Boise META still

[rain bobcat]

he has actually good ships to farm with

[viscid swift]

and then Yorktown META in about 2 weeks

[cobalt robin]

do we know when we'll get pr6 catch up and dr5 coining?

[viscid swift]

probably sometime January/February

[cobalt robin]

[clear harbor]

Is there a table that shows many books it takes to get a ship from level 1 to a few selected levels (70, 80, etc.)?

I've been pretty conservative with my books, but I think I'm at the point where I can spend them a bit more liberally to get more ahead on grinding ships for fleet tech.

[weary gust]

You don't need a table, it'll tell you how many levels they will go up when you enter any given number of books. You don't need to spend them to see the preview

Higher rarity ships take more exp to level

[clear harbor]

Lol. Now that you say that, yeah, I'm just too lazy to keep spamming to 80+. My bad, I'll just do that. Not even that difficult. My brain just didn't make the connection.

[sweet delta]

/expchart

Wtf it was removed

[rain bobcat]

[ivory sigil]

would this stronghold hard if i had a team like this^?

[cloud panther]

Use sub assist

For every fight

[rapid shard]

If those levels are accurate your gonna have a hard time

[rain bobcat]

just keep healing

[cobalt robin]

Could be hard but strongholds you can brute force since you have infinite resolve and can always leave, heal and re-enter

[rain bobcat]

unless you get a bitch of a boss that heals itself then ur fine

[rapid shard]

If you get that one, based on the team and gear you posted i highly doubt you'll be able to finish it

[cloud panther]

Even if a fleet dies I think game somehow remember their HP

[agile patrol]

hi. weird question
do you people manual aim with a BB? i understand it does 30% more damage but.. i heard most people dont even manual aim and double tap auto instead

[hollow gust]

just play auto

[forest palm]

the game makes it so awkward to aim BBs

[brave rover]

yo can someone show me what they have on there plymouth :>

[cobalt robin]

do kazagumo and sirius's CV buffs stack?

[viscid swift]

https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide/

[ivory sigil]

they are reset weekly and give about 1k5 purple coin right?, could i just obtain some or little some?

or only the boss that give final reward?

[agile patrol]

OKAY i tried the 'double press auto' thing and this is actually somewhat.. satisfying??

[cobalt robin]

Would I use both or only one of them in a cv fleet?

[agile patrol]

so much less work

[stark quiver]

both works

[cobalt robin]

Well not just coins but also gold mats and if you're lucky UR. And it's not a reset, instead you get one stronghold per week and you can have up to 3 on the map iirc

[ivory sigil]

maybe i should be prepare ? like complete all other and comebacklater? I do have like 200 healing boxes i think

[rain bobcat]

wdym

[cobalt robin]

There's no rush

[cobalt robin]

well I don't have kazagumo yet so ig it'll be Sirius for now

[sweet delta]

It is 20% and only applies to the first volley of the salvo of the main gun. So in reality it is less than 5% bonus damage for most relevant BBs

[brave rover]

ty

[agile patrol]

this is really funny.
i tried manual aiming BB on meta showdown twice. got ~580k total damage in both tries
did auto BB aiming twice, got ~690k both times
seems like auto can play this game better than me??

[brave rover]

also what are some other important research targets isnt there a guide for that as well?

[agile patrol]

... oh.. just the first volley...
oh that sucks. I thought it applied to all of them
then, manual aiming BB really is pointless

[errant jacinth]

commander xp takes so long to farm 😭

[cobalt robin]

You get more commander exp if you're using a full fleet

[errant jacinth]

that just means using 6 ships right? I think I'm already doing that

I'm grinding 8-4 to try and hit lvl 65, but it's taking ages

[ivory sigil]

errr it shouldnt take that long tho, 2-3 days for most if you willing to spend all oil without letting it overflow

[errant jacinth]

rlly? it's been like 2 days without me even going up a lvl

[cobalt robin]

I've heard war archive might be better for commander exp that early on but don't trust my words, I never touch WA

Someone fact this

[errant jacinth]

WA is just past events right?

[ivory sigil]

okay i will take my own as example then/
I unlock opsi at November 30th, which is lv60
today is December 6th i got lv68

[errant jacinth]

wait I'm def doing smth wrong

[cobalt robin]

everyone plays at a different pace

[errant jacinth]

cause I hit lvl 60 on tuesday

and I'm 62 rn

[cobalt robin]

Oh yea war archive is better because it has oil cap and w8 doesn't

[ivory sigil]

if you were 60, try 3 star all these chapter 9

and then spam 9-4 or 9-1

[errant jacinth]

last I checked I needed to be 65 to start 9-1

[ivory sigil]

mybad then chapter8

as well as 3star 8- 1 hardmode, so you can farm the coredata

[errant jacinth]

I've 3 stared every normal diff chapter till now

[cobalt robin]

Play WA, that's more oil efficient

[ivory sigil]

had you start on OPSI yet?

[errant jacinth]

yeah but I didn't finish chapter 1 year

[cobalt robin]

Divergent chess board, steel Sakura or any will do since WA is mostly irrelevant until end game for tech and collection

[errant jacinth]

if I'm also trying to farm for royal navy tech, is there a WA that's good for that?

[ocean terrace]

should recommend Polaris

[stark quiver]

why

[cobalt robin]

Probably winter's crown but you need to clear last stage 60 times to get the ship

[rain bobcat]

shoes

[stark quiver]

onigiri exists

[rain bobcat]

u mean crystal

but shoes better than most ship in WA

[errant jacinth]

also I just realized you have an N pfp 😭
love that tho!

[cobalt robin]

If they get enough prints till lvl 65 then I'll eat a rock

[ocean terrace]

what's the bot command for Mori's war archive recommendations

[cobalt robin]

That exists?

[stark quiver]

/it doesnt exist

[ocean terrace]

I'll find it 1 sec

[cobalt robin]

[ocean terrace]

oh it's not a command lmao

[ivory sigil]

lol

[ocean terrace]

Which War Archives should I do?
"I NEED IRONBLOOD TECH!!"
Divergent Chessboards

"I need to get to chapter 9 but I am only lv49 sobz"
Passionate Polaris/Universe in Unison's SP5 for Commander EXP, it is oil capped without fleet requirement

"I missed Eldridge retro item..."
Skybound Oratorio for Jeanne d'Arc

"I like PVP 🤓"
Rondo at Rainbow's End for Seydlitz

"But what about gear?"
Not worth the oil, go spend it at ongoing event or chapter 12.

[sick kettle]

can you clear safe 13-4 with any kind of ship or does it meta locked? I've been thinking on try clearing it for both coin and exp

[wind hazel]

you need great AA for 13-4, so not any kind

[cobalt robin]

Just play whatever WA for commander exp, it's not worth 50k oil for couple prints 💔

[wind hazel]

but it isn't that hard either

[ivory sigil]

how to get more dockslot f2p-ly? does this is the guild fault or it is myfault?

[ocean terrace]

I've only done Polaris and the Cosmic Kicks are getting great use so far

[cobalt robin]

Join a guild, public is more expensive iirc

[ocean terrace]

plus it was when I needed to get to commander level 50

[wind hazel]

that is a non public guild....

[ivory sigil]

it is alreaady a guild

[hollow gust]

just upgrade it

[wind hazel]

15 is max for guild tech, it's your fault it's at 1/15

[rain bobcat]

did u make a guild lol

[wind hazel]

????

[rain bobcat]

that looks like public though

[ivory sigil]

nah it is a existed
it said limited reached

[errant jacinth]

I think that's how it looks for me as well

[rain bobcat]

[cobalt robin]

I wasn't the only one...

[wind hazel]

public guild literally dont have guild tech

... at least from what i remember, maybe i am high

[cobalt robin]

I remember public having tech

[wind hazel]

i only remember you can do the daily donate shit on public guild

[cobalt robin]

I was solo until couple weeks, I remember seeing tech 😭

[wind hazel]

oh there's tech lol but it's shit

[stark quiver]

nice alt is it amagi

[cobalt robin]

I wasn't high after all

[wind hazel]

stop stalking wtf

[cobalt robin]

[wind hazel]

i was the one who was high

i only remember this screen

[ocean terrace]

so CTA is exactly a week before the UR event

[rain bobcat]

yes

high chance its USS

[cobalt robin]

Maybe you don't remember public tech because it's so shit...

[rain bobcat]

the story has been basically all helena meta poc

[ocean terrace]

USS BB please

[cobalt robin]

PLEASE BE A CV PLEASEEE

[rain bobcat]

fuck CVs

[cobalt robin]

NOOOOOO

[ocean terrace]

I need BBs so bad

[rain bobcat]

we've had many BBs this year but still fuck CVs

[cobalt robin]

I ONLY HAVE GOOD BBS MAN

[ocean terrace]

9/16 URs are BBs right?

[viscid swift]

fuck main fleets

[cobalt robin]

I wouldn't mind vanguard either

But please no bb 😔

[rain bobcat]

CL CB hope

[stark quiver]

fuck this game hope its not pvp meta

[wind hazel]

it's Ironblood CL UR guys

[ocean terrace]

did you say CTA exp boost is related to the UR faction or not

[rain bobcat]

inb4 yuki replaced

[stark quiver]

that would be unfavourable

[cobalt robin]

No way

[viscid swift]

it can be, though sometimes it's made up of ships from all sorts of different factions

[ocean terrace]

and if it's all from the same, is it at all an indicator?

[rain bobcat]

if its lexington 2 I riot

[stark quiver]

I dont see many factions bro

[viscid swift]

I wouldn't say yes per say but I wouldn't say it isn't would be my official answer

my acual answer is it's almost certainly Eagle Union

[onyx flame]

all eu ship and then out comes an another ijn ur

[ivory sigil]

i got 2 mec bp for using 5k

but wait, i just check, i did check a research that said drop a random bp, but it didnt drop anyone... does it mean the range is 0-1 for nothing research? and 1-2 for research that use 5k?

[cobalt robin]

Please be uss

[rain bobcat]

all story is blue then out comes red tower of transcendence with IB UR

[ocean terrace]

also what is it with the 'Two' version of past ships, such as Yorktown and Bismarck?
are they just better versions that come out as new URs randomly

[cobalt robin]

Not another ib 😭

[viscid swift]

well

[onyx flame]

upgraded forms cause something something story

[viscid swift]

there's actually 2 Yorktowns that served the USN during WW2

[rain bobcat]

the other 2's are real ships but bismarck was lore copium

[cobalt robin]

enterprise 2 trust

[viscid swift]

CV-6 and CV-10, the latter of which you can still see today

[rain bobcat]

yorktown is a yorktown class carrier

yorktown 2 is an essex class carrier

[cobalt robin]

We got Bismarck Zwei where is hood 2

[ocean terrace]

I see, though there are a couple ships like that to this day

[rain bobcat]

hood but with a hole in her stomach

[onyx flame]

where cv-65

[verbal plinth]

us has had so many ships they reuse names alot

[cobalt robin]

Bismarck not any better

[ocean terrace]

Hood's the one that got blown up by Bismarck and Prinz Eugen right
think PoW was there too

[rain bobcat]

nuclear carrier lol

[viscid swift]

just give me Johnston and Des Moines or Worcester

[verbal plinth]

plz

[viscid swift]

fuck the Iowas, fuck the Midways, fuck the Montanas, and fuck Lexington 2

[cobalt robin]

Fuck this man 😔

[forest palm]

it's probably going to be an Iowa

[verbal plinth]

prob be 1 main and 1 shop vg

[rain bobcat]

missouri dream is real

[viscid swift]

knowing Manjuu it's probably Lexington 2

[ocean terrace]

have we had any Iowa-class ships yet

[verbal plinth]

NJ

[rain bobcat]

NJ lol the fattest iowa class in battle star

[cobalt robin]

I'll go bald if they don't release new enty when the new one finishes construction (don't quote me)

[ocean terrace]

she's the oldest too no? UR I mean

[verbal plinth]

no

[rain bobcat]

no

[viscid swift]

not even close

just among Gacha URs Shinano predates her by 8 months

[rain bobcat]

shinano is oldest UR and iowa was the first commissioned iowa class

[ivory sigil]

but the current event said you need to clear chapter

if you do WA now you might skip it?

[rain bobcat]

iowa nj missouri wisconsin was the order

[ocean terrace]

they really do release random ships and classes at a time huh

[onyx flame]

saving the big name ones for big events prob or you know it not yet time in the story

[rain bobcat]

because the namesake is iconic

yamato for example is still not here

[ocean terrace]

sure but you'd think of Yamato first for IJN no?

[rain bobcat]

no not even close

[onyx flame]

sales dip and out comes iowa/yamato or other big names

[rain bobcat]

yamato brings in immense popularity so they're saving it

[ocean terrace]

oh I see

[verbal plinth]

yamato is prob 10y anni

[rain bobcat]

I will say one thing

if yamato is done by dish I will pull 10 and not raise a single one out of spite

[verbal plinth]

dish doesnt do al anymore

[viscid swift]

I don't care honestley

[ocean terrace]

what's dish.

[rain bobcat]

shit artist

[viscid swift]

former artist for AL

[cobalt robin]

Artist that used to do designs for us

[stark quiver]

did dish draw kashino

[rain bobcat]

no

you can easily tell who are his

[ocean terrace]

oh right, that's one thing that I appreciate about the game though, the designs are very cool

[verbal plinth]

mushi/owari/kron/guam i think is all his

[viscid swift]

Henrich and Adalbert I think are his as well

[rich blaze]

how do I unlock new talents for meowfficers? I have a lv 20 drake with only 2 talents unlocked.

[onyx flame]

level them up more , they got a talent point every 5 levels

[ivory pawn]

Every 5 levels you get a talent point. Stick the talent point on the talent.

[rich blaze]

i ahve 4 talent points but it only let's me upgrade not unlock

[ivory pawn]

Yeah, upgrade.

[onyx flame]

tempesta cats have preset talents

[ivory pawn]

Tempesta cats have a forced path.

[cobalt robin]

drakes's talents are predetermined right?

[vale spindle]

for drake (and tempesta cats), the upgrades only give you one option so just do it you will eventually get it maxed

some are upgrade some are talent unlock etc. i thought all were talent unlock but could be wrong

[rich blaze]

bruh ok it only unlocks one at a time

thanks for the help

[cobalt robin]

Meck usable at dev25 in bb fleet in place of mlb vanguard?

[rain bobcat]

could be

[vale spindle]

id say no but theres only one way to find out

[onyx flame]

missing like half her dmg but that technicall still more than vanguard i think

[cobalt robin]

Lion is there to carry anyways

[cobalt robin]

Poor vanguard 😔

I don't wanna bench her 😔

[onyx flame]

never mind vanguard still got a lil more dps

[rain bobcat]

where was that sheet from btw

I lost it

[onyx flame]

here

[rapid shard]

For W15 mob fleet. I dont have Aquila yet, can Klaudia work well enough for second healer?

[hollow gust]

Volga? Zuihou?

[rapid shard]

Outta chips for her right now shes stuck at 105. I got Klaudia at 125. Back line is Musashi Uni and tried Essex as 3rd CV but front line ran out of steam at 5th mob fight.
