So I've been grinding on world 12 for quite a while and I currently am not focused on any particular tech points. I have 500~ books accumulated but I don't know who to use them on, would really appreciate if someone could help me pick out:

there's no point just raising to MLB unless you're just doing it for tech unlocks
lofty owl
u got anchorage before fdg is kinda 
interesting
mortal forge
Oh I see, in that case, I'll just combine my both questions, which are worth mlb and raising over 100
lofty owl
imo try to get agir and look for vanguards in the medal shop
livid hawk
You should do fdg next another ur bb would help imo
mortal forge
Yea, Im trying but I dont have ironblood ships
I think I'll need biszwei rerun to help me get more ib ships
late forge
in general if u want advice who to raise (MLB and then level 120)
pick 1 of these reasons
1- decent ship that helps u push the content u want (for example lion, trafalger, kazagumo, sirius, helena)
2- ship that gives good tech to unlock better ship in shipyard (for example if u want agir u need to MLB some KMS ships) ususally MLB is enough for this dont take them to 120
3- tech ships raise to level 120
go to this site https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/tracker
pick BB and CV and raise ships that give ACC, RLD and FP/AVI
for frontline ships raise ships that give FP
4- waifu
glossy hornet
for now I'd say just work on the ships you already have around 100, then swap in ships in order of level
broken wave
Tenesy, California, Pennsylvania, Fusou all they are bbs rld. Idrc about Soury is it cv rld. Fusou meta in shop, too bbs rld
glossy hornet
don't see a lot of really high priority ones besides the new URs

kms is the easiest faction to get tech points for
glossy hornet
it goes both ways
they have relatively fewer ships in rotation so outside of events if you don't get them you dont' get tech
but if you get them or a KMS event comes round the tech goes up fast
late forge
probably not easiest
but cheapest
since getting them is hard but once u have a few then your tech will increase by a lot
mortal forge

I kinda don't wanna start working on 120 tech rn since I feel it's better to raise gameplay important ships first... I'm also not working on any tech points now, since Ill unlock Plymouth and Brest when my Saint Louis and Lion+Traf hit 120
That just leaves gameplay, which I dont think I have many good ships of...
late forge
I kinda don't wanna start working on 120 tech rn since I feel it's better to rai...
yeah pretty much
that is what nntktt said as well
glossy hornet
I kinda don't wanna start working on 120 tech rn since I feel it's better to rai...
the point is you don't have much in the way of important ships now
so just level what you have first, you can swap in the good ships when you get them
late forge
raising 2 fleets takes priority over tech ships anyway so that is fine
u can even start raising a third bossing fleet for opsi
then start thinking about tech ships and shipyard
but my advice stands
sometimes u dont know who to raise so keep it in mind
U can put a tech ship until u get someone better
lofty owl
imo u should first get kms tech points start fdg then agir
get indep from the core data
look for more vanguards in the medal shop
ark royal might be useful for u so u want to level her at some point in the future
mortal forge

u can eve...
ah also, my 105 level ships (Scylla, Colorado, Franklin and Saratoga) are already 120, so Im kinda wasting exp running them in fleet 2...
I havent broken them but they are exp capped
glossy hornet
honestly I don't agree, at least not on the way up
late forge
ah also, my 105 level ships (Scylla, Colorado, Franklin and Saratoga) are alread...
then imo replace them
glossy hornet
the problem with trying to prioritize KMS tech too quickly is you're not going to be actually using KMS much when you're still working with starter fleet
mortal forge
then imo replace them
with what tho lol, I cant find any decent ships....thats why I made the thread...
glossy hornet
you need to gradually swap them in after oil cap
glossy hornet
with what tho lol, I cant find any decent ships....thats why I made the thread.....
the point is you don't have them yet so just raise what you have first
lofty owl

what will he be doing if he doesn't get fdg then ? izumo might be good too for haku i think
but ijn tech is a nightmare
late forge
with what tho lol, I cant find any decent ships....thats why I made the thread.....
and this is what I meant by my point
sometimes u dont have any good ships to raise 
so might as well raise some tech ships until u get better
but if u want specific advice your D3 fleet should be lion, royal oak and maybe ark royal like abdou said
she will be useful
can replace royal oak with an IJN ship like souryuu if u want to prepare IJN tech
glossy hornet
why are we thinking so hard about PR? just research what he can for now then pick up FdG when he can
late forge
he is saying his current fleet is capped at 120
so why waste xp when he can raise anything else
glossy hornet
now's not the time to dig out KMS ships anyway, at least beyond the shop and free sources
late forge
for vanguard I am not sure but z23 works and lets see if we can find 2 more
do all your level 100-105 ships basically have enough xp for 120?
use anchorage u want her at 120 as well
glossy hornet
Eugen will have to do too if you're just going for tech anyway
late forge
cleveland also fine to raise to 120 eventually so u can use her for now
mortal forge
Ok, so ark royal, royal oak, lion fleet 1
Perseus ? ? for fleet 2 backline, which 2 ships should I pick out of those I have?
Except saint louis, anchorage, phoenix and cleveland yes, the 105 backliners are exp capped
late forge
saint louis anchorage and cleveland can stay
glossy hornet
no chips?
late forge
take out phoenix
mortal forge
no chips?
I was saving them for traf and lion, and upcoming zwei
I have 13k chips now
Also grinding world 12 doesnt really require high levelled ships so I didnt break them
glossy hornet
ah
late forge
wait did u have enough tech for plymouth?
mortal forge
wait did u have enough tech for plymouth?
No, Ill be at 750-800 after lion and traf hit 120
And brest unlocks when saint louis hits 120
I can unlock brest now, but Ill have to finish unlocking bayard first in that case
glossy hornet
what ship are you working on now
mortal forge
what ship are you working on now
You mean development? Georgia, I just randomly set her since I finished unlocking all missions for pr1
Im coining louis now
glossy hornet
ok
late forge
prio HMS ships for plymouth imo
u are on pr5 focus right?
mortal forge
Yes, I have 230 prints on both ply and brest and 22 prints for ply gun
late forge
u should farm event then when u are done with event u can farm divergent chessboard and start unlocking FdG and agir
but for now raise the ships I mentioned
of these ark royal is the most useful tbh
ofc raise lion she is your best one
u can set dev on monarch since u are using a lot of HMS ships
might as well finish her cdc mission
but dont give her the mats
only finish the xp parts
mortal forge
Ok, thanks a lot!!
Ill focus on the ships you have shown and switch to monarch exp collection
late forge
this should not be your goal btw
the minute u get an actually good ship to develop rotate them in
this is just temporary so u dont waste xp
like you said
it is a bit soon for you to worry about tech
mortal forge
Ye, Im done with rolling on lion tho so I think its quite a while before I roll heavy/special event again to get something good
late forge
independence always good to grab when u have the chance and spare core data
mortal forge
sure 
mortal forge
levels are a bit outdated, all 105 are 115 or 120 now
frigid granite
first off i'd try to swap the 2 fleets in terms of slot
using percy is just uhhh
yeah
and unicorn can fulfill CVL req
backline can be lion franklin enty
mortal forge
ok, that's for the boss fleet right?
frigid granite
mob can be the same, boss will be lion franklin enty
if you're not having issues with mob frontline i think it's ok
mortal forge
ye, no issues with mob frontline but the boss one was dying (ayanami,traf,scylla)
frigid granite
and try anchorage trafalgar cleve? for boss vanguard
the big issue here is of course the torp req but with some levels idk how much that'll be helped
broken wave
boss Ancho, Helena (CL), and Lafft ((DD)
frigid granite
don't use laffey if you can use trafalgar
lmfao
also forgot to ask, trafalgar mlb now?
broken wave
-1 lb
mortal forge
ok, so now fleet is:
boss: lion franklin enty anchorage, laffey helena
mob: Colorado Unicorn - Scylla Ayanami Traf
traf is still not mlb, im waiting for the end of event to get extra copy
broken wave
ok, so now fleet is:
boss: lion franklin enty anchorage, laffey helena
mob: Colo...
Change Laffy on Traff
frigid granite
don't
helena kinda sus on boss but with the extra boss damage it might be fine
actually she's retrofitted so it might be ok
mortal forge
ok, so I havent changed yet
3rd ship in mob I put saratoga 120 there
mortal forge
1802, Ill be able to do 11-3 and 11-4 now, thanks
btw I have double oxytorp on laffey, that's fine for survivability?
broken wave
As for mee Laffy better in mob especially if has augm.
frigid granite
problem is
ayanami will fucking die
which was bag's whole problem
to begin with
mortal forge
Ill finish her retro and lv 90 her, will it be fine then? I can do that now I have the resources
frigid granite
don't bother with it
you have trafalgar
try see if you can clear it now, if not just wait until you get trafalgar mlb
broken wave
Traff has a lot skill for survive vs bosses. at least some. Laffy heal every time enter in mobs map
And sometimes having 2 toolkits on tank dd can be fine. Less dps but almost +50% hp in some cases
frigid granite
you always want double toolkit when pushing anyways
mortal forge
I see, thanks a lot
Ill try running it now, if traf in mob doesnt work out then Ill switch her with laffey in boss
My laffey has aug
Can I +10 2 oxytorp? in that case laffey can double toolkit while ayanami runs double +10 oxytor
frigid granite
i wouldn't bother
broken wave
yeah. I mean sometimes (like z52) you looking for smth better
frigid granite
big waste of resources for a problem that can be solved by leveling your ships
broken wave
I see, thanks a lot
Ill try running it now, if traf in mob doesnt work out then...
why Ayanami? TRP stats?
mortal forge
yes, ayanami for trp alone
frigid granite
keep in mind that ayanami is a pretty bad investment for you right now (at least short term)
broken wave
IF using better torp on Ancho this can't help reach trp req.?
this is not best for other scenario but here can work
mortal forge
ok lol traf on mob dies in first battle, ill switch her and laffey
broken wave
ok lol traf on mob dies in first battle, ill switch her and laffey
show gear
frigid granite
keep in mind that trafalgar isn't as tanky as the other UR DDs
mortal forge
broken wave
AA
frigid granite
AA not the issue here
broken wave
tool box lvl 6
frigid granite
use 2nd toolbox
broken wave
try get 2 lvl 10
frigid granite
and push them to 10
mortal forge
oh btw image is outdated, I have toolkits at 10 now
ill put 2 +10 toolkits
broken wave
will be +1k hp for 1.6 traf
frigid granite
bruh
mortal forge
All AA is also 10 now
mortal forge
sure, thanks!!
i think itll work out now
broken wave
and last one show Unicorn gear. Did you use Hellcats with Baracuda? If yes - then ok
mortal forge
sorry for the late response, but I did use hellcats with barra
thanks a lot again, it worked after putting laffey mob and taf boss
