Well never mind that
hearty oasis
Gear first, I guess
rough hollow
covert rivet
Uhhh
hearty oasis
covert rivet
Ok this isn't going to work
tired basin
thar she blows
hearty oasis
tired basin
you can stop for now. do you have an actual question?
tired basin
whale harder
covert rivet
I am not sifting through all of that
ok first off, what even was the original question
hearty oasis
Enough about the equipment, I guess
I want to know starting which level, which single nation fleets might work, where, in order to gather exp and grab some drop as well, but mostly combat exp for shipyard thingy
covert rivet
first off, you don't need faction fleets to farm XP for PR ships
hearty oasis
?
covert rivet
PR ships only ever require main fleet or vanguard XP at any given point
tired basin
I want to know starting which level, which single nation fleets might work, wher...
they work starting from L1
covert rivet
some even allow multiple factions
hearty oasis
Eh?
covert rivet
hearty oasis
But, for example, Haerbin (which I'm working on now) says "vanguard – Dragon Empery"
covert rivet
yeah, some not all
hearty oasis
I don't get it...
covert rivet
vanguard refers to the ships that go in the front row if that's what you mean
sinful lantern
so say harbin for example
your backline can be anything else
but your frontline needs to be chinese
covert rivet
the ships in the back/main fleet won't contribute at all
hearty oasis
Are there PR/DR ships that only need to meet the vanguard/rearguard requirement in order to gather exp for research?
covert rivet
that's the case for all PR ships
sinful lantern
all research ships have this requirement
covert rivet
no PR ships require main fleet and vanguard XP or the same CDC/XP mission
sinful lantern
each PR ship has 2 XP missions
covert rivet
the CBs require main fleet and vanguard XP but for separate CDCs
hearty oasis
Yup
sinful lantern
1 and 2
or
1.2 and 2.4
covert rivet
so you only ever need main fleet or vanguard XP at any given point
hence why there is no point in running faction fleets for combat data collection
as to your question on where to farm, W12 when it is on safe is where you want to farm
hearty oasis
Uhmm... For example, I spent about three days gathering the combat exp for Champagne, using French fleets... It took a while because of low oil and low level of the girls (they're ~80 on average)
So, chapter 12 is the best exp wise
covert rivet
not exactly, it's the best place to farm for many things including xp though yes
sinful lantern
w12 is where you can get away with relatively sub par fleets too
hearty oasis
And, if I am to disregard any faction related buff from rearguard to vanguard or vice versa, I can actually go at it with the faction on either side and whatever makes life easier on the remainder of the fleet
covert rivet
In a way
Just use any 3 ships for the side that doesn't meet the xp requirements that also need leveling
hearty oasis
I thought I would only operate with single nation [whole] fleets (rearguard and vanguard) because of a sort of synergy that could be used
hearty oasis
Oh
hearty oasis
So, the approach I use for opsi, which is basically anyone above 110 mixed together, is the way to go in terms of the side of the fleet which won't be adding exp for research purposes
covert rivet
I don't use opsi for XP period
tired basin
your primary goal in ops is farming ops
hearty oasis
I did... I actually made 5% of combat exp 2 for Haerbin last night solely from opsi XD
tired basin
that's irrelevant. if you extracted every iota of drops out of ops then your fleets were perfect
hearty oasis
Sure, it was hellishly slow
tired basin
if you left ops rewards on the table then your fleets suck
tired basin
can you do cdc using ops? yes. but not at the expense of failing to do strongholds, arbiters, abyssals, and using all your AP.
hearty oasis
can you do cdc using ops? yes. but not at the expense of failing to do strongh...
What is CDC, again?
tired basin
combat data collection
hearty oasis
Ah
Thought so... Brain kinda kaputt for a moment there
Talking about opsi strongholds and the such... I have a collection of maps which I can't seem to use... Then again, I haven't explored much yet
covert rivet
Just focus on clearing the OpSi story first
hearty oasis
What happens upon clearing the story? And when does that happen?
covert rivet
you mean the OpSi story?
hearty oasis
Yes, opsi
covert rivet
well that when you unlock monthly reset and you start the farm loop basically
hearty oasis
And that takes place when... ?
covert rivet
what takes place when
hearty oasis
I've actually stumbled upon weird sorties a couple of times, just don't remember how or after what, but I think that was the effect of some map item
Maps with ice tiles, smoke, really tough enemies, and nice rewards
hearty oasis
what takes place when
When does monthly reset occur... Or rather, what has to happen before that is unlocked
covert rivet
the start of each month
tired basin
When does monthly reset occur... Or rather, what has to happen before that is un...
finish chapter 4
covert rivet
and it doesn't start until you finish chapter 4 of the OpSi story
tired basin
actually you have a stronghold. chapter 4 should be done?
hearty oasis
I really don't know
covert rivet
check your missions
hearty oasis
Haven't even finished exploring the first area
tired basin
well never mind then
