the reckoning

[split charm]

here is said dock

[worthy ravine]

.

[split charm]

thats abt it

st louis was 0 investment, ive put her thru a billion commissions

[oblique oak]

i see a very workable fleet

[worthy ravine]

where do I begin exactly...

[split charm]

idk i used to play the game casually just throwing ships i liked n stuff, then now i realized shit man i need a proper fleet

[oblique oak]

glad you realized

[steel dagger]

beginner guide

[split charm]

took a look at the ships i have, checked some videos, got absolutely 0 knowledge and just went with what i thought was right

[worthy ravine]

first, how many UR and SR Bullins do you have and/or can get right now if any at all

[split charm]

tank front, support mid, off tank on back

[split charm]

0

[worthy ravine]

okay then

[split charm]

somewhat close to UR bulin

1k points so thats smth

[worthy ravine]

well that's another reason why you don't wanna invest in Perseus then

[split charm]

okay

[worthy ravine]

this is why you want to limit break your ships

[split charm]

[oblique oak]

cheeky are u gonna make infographic guides

[worthy ravine]

you might wanna give that a read for a crash course on some of the basics
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

probably not

[oblique oak]

damn

[split charm]

cheeky is my personal guru

[worthy ravine]

graphic design is not my thing and I'm going back to college soon anyway

[shrewd pawn]

gratz

[split charm]

unicorn has been put into the dorm

at least i can retrofit her pretty easily with this

[worthy ravine]

so this is roughly what you'll be aiming for in the short term to clear to W12
Mob: Owari, Unicorn retrofit, Independence, Portland, Atillio/Laffey, Belfast
Boss: NJ, Enterprise, Yorktown 2, Eugen, Helena, Bremerton

I kinda loathe to keep Yorktown 2 in at just limit break 2

but the alternatives are not great

[split charm]

workin on it

right so essentially

most i have to work on is basically just owari, unicorn and atillio or laffey

i'm not really sure how i can get those levelled fast, even tho i kept helena in dorms for 3 days and on commissions, she barely levels

[worthy ravine]

do you have any XP packs still?

[split charm]

cant really find a productive and easy way for levelling atm

i popped 3 on unicorn so shes level 12 now lmao

[worthy ravine]

well in future

what you should be doing is saving them to boost level 1 ships to around level 70 or so

with the help of the dorm

they can then be put into your farming fleets and your get levels on them that way

and there's another reaosn why you want to level Unicorn

she's pretty much the best carry for said ships

for now

you're unfortunately stuck with just dorms and commissions for the really low level ones

[split charm]

what lvl shoudl i start using them and for what campaign (max chapter is 10)

[worthy ravine]

it depends

I would wait for at least level 70 though

so you can max limit break them before you start using them

[split charm]

it's kinda rough to get unicorn as a mvp for bonus exp increase (i think mvp gives increase)

not sure how i'd pull that off

[worthy ravine]

you don't worry about that

not now or ever really to be honest

[split charm]

so once shes 70 do i just take her to the highest level campaign i can and get levels that way

[worthy ravine]

pretty much

[split charm]

is the levelling process from 70 extremely slow or is it fast

[worthy ravine]

if you have the XP packs it takes a few secconds

since you don't

gonna be a few days with just the dorm and commissions

[split charm]

always possible to swipe, but preferably not

[worthy ravine]

fortunately we have the weekly pack reset in a few days

[worthy ravine]

not particularly
practically anyway

[split charm]

right but

once shes 70 and i take her to like

9-4 or 10-4

[worthy ravine]

yes

[split charm]

is the levelling like

slow like dorms and commissions

or is it fast

[worthy ravine]

of course not

[split charm]

guh

[worthy ravine]

you'll gaining XP at a significantly faster rate

than the dorm or commissions

[split charm]

if you'd like take a rough estimate

how much exp from like 9-4 or 10-4

if thats possible to estimate

[worthy ravine]

how much of what exactly

runs, oil used, etc

[split charm]

oil isnt really a concern currently sitting on 12k comfortably mostly just

how many runs itd take for

unicorn lvl 70 to like say 90-100

since thats arguably the level where i can focus elsewhere

or maybe right after retrofit at 85

[worthy ravine]

not sure to be honest

XP is gonna vary per run because different enemies give different amounts of XP

you can try and crunch some rough numbers though yourself

[split charm]

the 10 hour commission gives

[worthy ravine]

all the numbers are on the wiki

[split charm]

i think 18k

18k exp

is that a lot of exp compared to smth like doing chapter 10

[worthy ravine]

bear in mind getting S rank gives 20% more XP to all ships

the flagship gets 50% more XP and MvP gets 2x XP

[split charm]

right so

550 exp is average somewhat

550 x 5 cuz 5 battles of exp

[worthy ravine]

times 1.2

[split charm]

roughly like 2700-2800

times yes

3360

exp per run

[worthy ravine]

per run, per ship

without factoring in flagship or MvP bonus yes

[split charm]

i think

for oil conserving sake

maybe it's best do uh

[worthy ravine]

it's 200 oil per run

[split charm]

owari unicorn backline and then slap bremerton or eugen as solo vanguard

for mob

[worthy ravine]

for full fleets because of the oil cap

[worthy ravine]

no

run full fleets

[split charm]

full fleets?

why

[worthy ravine]

oil caps

[split charm]

no idea what oil caps is

[split charm]

what oil is always gonna be the same no matter what

ohhh

so even tho the fleet is like 90 oil

cap is 40 so its 40 instead of 90

[worthy ravine]

yes

[oblique oak]

yes

[split charm]

right so

what were the fleets u were suggesting again

let me see if i can find

[worthy ravine]

you're gonna hit the cap trust me

[split charm]

Mob: Owari, Unicorn retrofit, Independence, Portland, Atillio/Laffey, Belfast
Boss: NJ, Enterprise, Yorktown 2, Eugen, Helena, Bremerton

yeah yeah thats not what im

i just forgot the fleet

i dont really need a full fleet for boss

so i can mix around to maximize the mob fleet

to make sure its fast clear

do i even consider doing the boss fleet if all im doing is the mobs

[worthy ravine]

yes

[split charm]

is there some exp gain after u clear a campaign

im presuming there is

[worthy ravine]

for one the boss fleet also has an oil cap

but 2, most of your coins and a good chunk of your plates are gonna come from clearing rewards

which you only get if you beat the boss

[split charm]

im pretty stonks on plates

i think

[worthy ravine]

of trust me

you're gonna be using a lot

speaking of which

[split charm]

currently sitting on this

[worthy ravine]

that's not a lot at all

[split charm]

gah

[worthy ravine]

that's almost broke to be honest

[split charm]

my life is shattering

[oblique oak]

thats gold plates, which you wont be needing for nopw

[worthy ravine]

but yeah, gear is very important and not something you can ngelect

[split charm]

my gear is pretty ok imo

i think.

let me screenshot the noteworthy ig

[worthy ravine]

read sam's gear guide in #bot-spam /equip and sort them to the best of your abilities

alright

[split charm]

i cant get my hands on

golden steam

thingies

the reason why some stuff is underlevelled is cuz im

broke on gold

[worthy ravine]

like 3 or 4 out of 10

some of it is good

[split charm]

geh

[worthy ravine]

others are just downright bad and a waste of plates

like that fighter on Enterprise

[split charm]

which

are

is that one meady

i cant see why

[worthy ravine]

it does terrible damage

because it's bombs are shit

[split charm]

is replacing it with

[worthy ravine]

do not assume higher rarity means better for anything in AL

[split charm]

pirate squad or seafang

better

[worthy ravine]

could you just

post all of your UR, SR and Elite gear

along with what gear you can craft

[split charm]

uh,

[worthy ravine]

in your depot I mean

[split charm]

yeah dont be shocked

[worthy ravine]

tap equipped on

so we can see stuff thats on ships too

[oblique oak]

so much rainbow, how do u do that

[split charm]

i do NOT

know

how gears work

and how i get em

im about to be shafted

[worthy ravine]

do you have any tech boxes you can open right now

T3, T4 and T5 ones

[split charm]

tier 3 yes but dont those

only give purple

[worthy ravine]

quite a bit of purple gear is good

[split charm]

frick

[worthy ravine]

also what gear can your craft right now?

[split charm]

no clue how u craft

[worthy ravine]

there's a safe to scrap guide in #bot-spam /equip

[split charm]

ill just scrap any like

bottom gear

grey gear

[worthy ravine]

also is that everything?

[split charm]

everything noticeable ig

[worthy ravine]

all of your purple gear please

[split charm]

from box openings

pretty much abt it

[worthy ravine]

empty slots mean use whatever there for now

[split charm]

what ht heck

[oblique oak]

its your fleets

[split charm]

this is shocking

[worthy ravine]

like I said earlier sam's guide in #bot-spam /equip for more info on gear in future

now as for what to do currently

[split charm]

i put unicorn in dorm and sent her on the 10 hour commission

10 mins ago

[worthy ravine]

now you said you had a level 70 Amagi yes?

[split charm]

yup

only lvl 70

lvl 1 skills n stuff

[worthy ravine]

she's strangely absent from the screen shots

[split charm]

here

[worthy ravine]

quite

now don't put any bullins into her

[split charm]

okay.

[oblique oak]

blended with the lvl 1 mfs

[split charm]

whats her purpose

idk why shes among them

oh i know why i had set it to affinity

[worthy ravine]

you need a battlecruiser for HT3

remember

[split charm]

yeah but event is gone soon

[worthy ravine]

you still have a few days

[split charm]

i doubt i can raise unicorn and destroyer fast enough

[oblique oak]

not soon, you have like a bit less than a week

[worthy ravine]

that's at least enough to get the event shop ship

and we're not gonna use Unicorn

[split charm]

we aint?

[worthy ravine]

and just one DD

[split charm]

all my dd are lvl 1 hahaaa...

well except one

i have no idea how she got to lvl 70

commissions only probably

[worthy ravine]

Fleet 1(mob): Amagi, Independence, Akagi, Portland, Emannuelle,Belfast
Fleet 2(boss): NJ, Enterprise, Yorktown 2, Eugen, Bremerton

[worthy ravine]

you probably have some purple bullins at least

[split charm]

not sure how the mob fleet will even survive

[split charm]

i do

[worthy ravine]

max limit break and she'll have to be a stat stick requirement

[split charm]

a what now

[worthy ravine]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/460645783021289472/1269454416038199400/image.png?ex=66b01f0e&is=66aecd8e&hm=fd232a3478eafaca0716e9754a37a6b6df9921eabb6b35258f417980723db345&

considering that cleared D3 of Korovod

you'll be fine

[split charm]

my money 😭

[worthy ravine]

HT3 of this event isn't particularly more difficult than that

[steel dagger]

look at ur toolkit

[split charm]

broke once more

[worthy ravine]

and if you can't

clear HT3

then do HT2

[split charm]

why not repeat HT3

eh?

[worthy ravine]

if you can't clear HT3

[split charm]

do i re equip their gear to what u suggested

[worthy ravine]

pretty much yes

[split charm]

lemme see what i can dp

do

do i just put whatever i was gonna put on owari on uhh

amagi instead

[worthy ravine]

yes

[split charm]

vice versa with attilio

[worthy ravine]

yes

[split charm]

easier to do it this way

i dont have

these things

[worthy ravine]

you can craft 4 of them

[split charm]

i can??

[worthy ravine]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Naval_Camouflage#Type_3-0

and these are basically the same thing

[worthy ravine]

yes

[split charm]

eh?

O

where do i craft em

oh yes right

money issues

let me just run the grand prix for some easy cash

alright got sum money

[steel dagger]

u have yk2 and not the event weapons ? what happened to the skyrider and the hvar ?

[worthy ravine]

pretty simple

[split charm]

to the what

[worthy ravine]

pulled, never farmed the event

or not a lot at least

HVAR was only droppable from D3

and Skyraider was 10k event points

[split charm]

i usually just do the events for cubes and then maybe for the ship event

yk2 iw as lucky

somehow i got 6 copies of NJ on one of her reruns in like 40 pulls

so thats why shes max limitbreak n stuff

[steel dagger]

i heard there was a copy from milstones
and the bp should have been dropped in b3 no ?

[worthy ravine]

you really should be farming events more than just that

[worthy ravine]

no and no

[steel dagger]

[steel dagger]

faerlein got his hopes very high to get 6 during the rerun

might be doable with his luck

[split charm]

i dont seem to have enough

repair kits

maybe i can craft

[worthy ravine]

you can craft 4

[split charm]

i can infact, but 0 money again oh my goodness gracious

i dont wanna spend gems for coins... gah

[steel dagger]

these 2 are from unzen and musasi events right ?

[worthy ravine]

yes

[split charm]

yes i think so

i farmed the left one for monarch cuz i thought it was good on her

the right one im not exactly sure how i got

ok i need coins desperately

[worthy ravine]

it was from the event shop

[split charm]

whats that one map that drops a lot of coins

[worthy ravine]

Ht3 would be your best bet for now

[split charm]

havent finished equipping cuz i cant make

repair kits

0 money for em

[worthy ravine]

try HT2 then

and with what you have really

[steel dagger]

and u resumed playing the game after cn anni and missed alsace because maybe cubes issues and then missed vanguard rerun since there isn't her aux in the depot ?

[split charm]

started playing initially when roma i think her name is

released

played for a solid 3-4 months, hopped off then regularly just came back and spent quite a lot of time just daily farming for cubes until NJ rerun

then mostly just got on whenever UR events happened to see what, played a bit of 2024 at like may, i was there for alsace but didnt pull and quit before vanguard rerun

had no idea she was coming

was entirely focused on studies

[worthy ravine]

understandable

[split charm]

this looks abt right

not sure if i give HT3 a try first or HT2

[worthy ravine]

yes

[split charm]

ht2 or ht3 first..

[worthy ravine]

doesn't really matter

tbh

[split charm]

not entirely sure if its good idea to let run on auto

but we let it happen

whats the level diff between HT2 and HT3 on mob fleets

one battle did about this much

[worthy ravine]

5 iirc

[split charm]

with basically level 1 gear on aux only and around lvl 1-4 skills

[worthy ravine]

wait no 10

[split charm]

rn HT2 is level

94

or 95

[worthy ravine]

HT3 are 104 to 105

[split charm]

ill consider HT3 if i can

get gear up

once ive got gear levelled then ill go for HT3 instead

the only diff between HT3 and HT2 is that HT3 drops slightly more coins

also if i get the event shop ship do i replace any of my units with her?

[worthy ravine]

you could use her over Atllio

not sure which one is better

[split charm]

alright

this drains quite a lot of oil

[worthy ravine]

yeah

[split charm]

do i just spend all oil for this or

[worthy ravine]

just one clear without the oil cap though

[split charm]

oh

when does oil cap happen

[worthy ravine]

after you 100% clear the map

which for this event is 1 run

[split charm]

and oil goes to uhh

40?

also its kinda shocking like

[split charm]

even tho im running gear thats way underlevelled than my old gear

im still more considerably tanky

[split charm]

is a musashi rerun happening ever

[worthy ravine]

yes

all non collab events pretty much will rerun at some point

[split charm]

i missed her when she ran initially like 2 years ago

[worthy ravine]

and after that they'll eventually be added to the permanent pools

[split charm]

shes probably next in line for perma pool, no?

[worthy ravine]

no

[split charm]

flip

[worthy ravine]

she's not even the next to be rerun

[split charm]

whats the next rerun UR

[worthy ravine]

Musashi

probably

[split charm]

u said she wasnt next to be rerun

eh?

[worthy ravine]

she's the next UR to be rerun

not the same as the next rerun

[split charm]

ohh u meant like that

whats the next rerun then

that isnt UR

[worthy ravine]

we'll probably have Roma and Bruhilde rerun before Musashi

[split charm]

i used to have brunhilde

i was GRIEFED by my brother, deleted almost 90% of all my shipgirls like a year or year and a half ago

none of the UR or oathed ones so that was a relief

i lost so many good ships..

[worthy ravine]

ah well

at least everything is kinda coming full circle now

with all the events you started with rerunning soon

[split charm]

well i made him swish me 40 bucks for it

swish is swedish paypal

[split charm]

rn im just pulling daily to get shinano but i should def start saving instead for musashi

since shinano is perma

[worthy ravine]

yes

[split charm]

only 100 pulls away from the UR exchange

[worthy ravine]

don't pull on heavy or special every pretty much

[split charm]

ye i just do light for the UR exchange

[worthy ravine]

correct

[split charm]

but ill probably just stop doin that

for musashi ig

not sure how much i'd be able to save before her rerun

not sure when its happening

[worthy ravine]

we don't know

[split charm]

ok i could clear HT2 with pretty much ease

[worthy ravine]

I wouldn't expect it till around late this year, early next year though roughly

[split charm]

some dmg taken on mob fleet like lost 20% total of health on tank

[worthy ravine]

good to hear

[split charm]

dont know if i'd wanna try for HT3

ill be shafted

[worthy ravine]

what's the harm

like I said

I don't consider more difficult than D3 of the Korovod you were farming earlier

[split charm]

cant even run it lel

[worthy ravine]

really?

[worthy ravine]

rip

[worthy ravine]

just HT2 then I guess for the time being

[split charm]

yeah nop

uh

2x oil worth?

[worthy ravine]

up to you

[split charm]

if i do 2x oil will the oil cap remain 40 or

will the oil cap double as well

[worthy ravine]

it's purely a time saving thing

[split charm]

i suppose ur not really losing anything

[worthy ravine]

yeah

you double the rewards

but double the cost as well

mainly oil and morale drain

[split charm]

one clear without oil cap

took me down like 400 oil

jesus

below 10k oil now, nooo

[split charm]

does it double morale drain?

[worthy ravine]

yes

[split charm]

thought it was oil only

since it says 2x oil consumption..

[worthy ravine]

it does more than that

[split charm]

OOO

hell yeah

[worthy ravine]

thing of it as doing 2 runs in one

nice

[split charm]

oh yeah

with the fleet u posted

whats most important skills to level

[worthy ravine]

mains ones off the top of my head would be

Lucky e for Enterprise
Unicorn's healing skill(obviosly)
as well as Independence's and Owari's skills

Yorktown 2 would be as well if you could MLB her

but even at limit break 2 she's still pretty shit so ehh

oh and uh Helena's radar scan as well

[split charm]

is that a priority list

lucky e first, then unicorn, etc

[worthy ravine]

not particularly

[steel dagger]

weren't there another income for the prints other than the milstones and the d3 farming i m sure i didn't misunderstood the fact of getting 1 full copy without any drops

[split charm]

seeing as i only have 2

[worthy ravine]

you'll want to get them all maxed in due time

[split charm]

class

spots

[worthy ravine]

there were 15 from the shop as well

[split charm]

is it better to max a skill to 10 first or get multiple to level 5 first with one book

since one book takes to 5 (if i use UR book)

i think i'll

use 1 slot for raising specific ship to 10 skill

[worthy ravine]

it would be better to use like 1 SR book first on the important skills

[split charm]

then the other for raising the others to somewhere around 5-6

[worthy ravine]

pretty much

[split charm]

instead of having 2 ships at level 10 skills and the rest at lvl 1

[worthy ravine]

kinda

[split charm]

i presume its better to have like 1 at lvl 10 and then the rest are lvl 6

and then work u way up from there

to everyone to 10

so its more spread out

[worthy ravine]

Portland's skills aren't worth bothering with

[split charm]

let me check hers

[worthy ravine]

the rest yeah I guess

[split charm]

i only level her

defense order

its lvl 6 at the moment

[worthy ravine]

that's fine

[split charm]

i'll start levelling unicorn skill to 10 first

seeing as my enterprise performs just fine atm i wont level her to 10 first

i wanna get unicorn in the fleet asap so

[worthy ravine]

that's more down to levels than anything else

Enterprise is pretty much entirely carried by her skill

[split charm]

ye

i can get her skill to lvl 6 with one book from lvl 1

ill probably do that

i have a good bit of books id like to imagine

actually less than i expected nvm

i dont have that many

pretty broke on books

not that i'll need to get every ship to 10 10 10 levels immediately

somewhere around 6 for all good skills should be good enough to start with

for clearing hard stages

[worthy ravine]

not too shabby actually

[split charm]

oh, it looks like a lot of my ships are actually like lvl 7 and 6 on all their skills

is belfast worth levelling skills?

[worthy ravine]

she's not a priority particularly

[split charm]

ill start with enterprise then

shes level 1 skill

used to be lvl 10 but

she got deleted.

also quite unhappy that i lost my old belfast that was also max lvl skills

[split charm]

also whats the event for 200 gems

is that the reposting of the anniv post

[worthy ravine]

yes

though it's not reposting

[split charm]

i thought you only get 500 gems if u win

what exactly are you referring to
