@untold hill just to give total advice and not half-assed advice in addition to these print get also 25 from the VI designs for flandre gun (20 this month > 5 next month)

and were u on pr4 focus at any time?

[untold hill]

No clue honestly. I've been on pr5 focus from before i can even remember

[crystal plover]

[subtle sandal]

show your craft menu in depot
can you make bf109g?

[untold hill]

This right?

[untold hill]

If it's a gold gear then no

[subtle sandal]

yes that is for the bb gun 380mm/1935

[subtle sandal]

then u also want to grab the IV designs

for the planes

[untold hill]

This?

How many do i need

[subtle sandal]

now u see why protocore is useful

some ppl suggest 2 idk why

i think 3 minimum is better

[untold hill]

Wait if there are other ways to obtain these guns, then what if i already have some of them?

[crystal plover]

faer look at what the detective has found in #gameplay-help

[untold hill]

Doesn't that like reduce the amount i need to buy here?

[subtle sandal]

the only other way is gear lab for champy
and focusing earlier seasons

both of those methods are not recommended

protocore is cheaper

[untold hill]

What about other guns? Is there a way to show you all the guns i own?

[subtle sandal]

u could but there is no need

this is the usual advice for newbies

the rest will come with time

and depends if u do opsi or not

[untold hill]

I only started doing opsi recently

[subtle sandal]

then u are doing fine

and good gear will come with time

prtocore just helps slingshot your progression a bit

[untold hill]

Ok i bought the 3,4 and 6 ones

What now?

[subtle sandal]

now u craft them if u have enough

or u wait for next month to get enough

btw I checked the history and your agir was dev26 at some point
this must be with pr4 focus
so u probably have a few of the pr4 prints already

[untold hill]

I bought all 20 so i should have enough

[subtle sandal]

u need 25 for a gear

and each season is a seperate gear
U cant combine them together

make sure you check this part where it says craft
if u have enough for this plane dont buy more IV (4) next month
u need 75 total or 3 planes

[untold hill]

You mean agïr prints or?

[subtle sandal]

no i mean at some point before coining your agir had good dev level so I assume u were on pr4 focus

so maybe we dont need to buy more IV prints

I could be wrong

if u dont that is okay just means buy every month with protocore

[untold hill]

I did her catchup and used a lot of the blueprint selectors lol

[subtle sandal]

oh I see that makes sense then

well u know what u are doing now

just put the work in and good luck

keep on playing opsi dont ignore it

[crystal plover]

sounds like u used pr7 selectors

[untold hill]

I need like 48

[subtle sandal]

well maybe u want 3 planes not 2

but anyway can decide that later

[untold hill]

I already have one tho

[subtle sandal]

ah I see

good then

[untold hill]

.

[crystal plover]

can u show the pr7 DR selectors ?

[subtle sandal]

so the way u get the prints is u open these in your depot

[subtle sandal]

if he did it then he did it
I dont think we need to worry about it anymore

[untold hill]

I have 0

[subtle sandal]

yes my bad I didnt see this

[untold hill]

What are the series 3 and 6 guns called again?

They all look the same ngl

[subtle sandal]

triple 406mm/50 mle 1938 for series 3

triple 380mm/mle 1935 for series 6

[untold hill]

So do i only need 3,4 and 6 or are the others needed?

[subtle sandal]

u are on pr5 focus so u will just naturally get the good gear for that series
series 1-2 dont have anything crucial (they are also in gear lab if u had to)
and series 7 u will focus later

[untold hill]

When am i supposed to stop focusing pr5?

[full plinth]

whats ur pr5 status

[subtle sandal]

when u finish plymouth
u switch to 7 and finish the plymouth gun with protoshop

can stay for brest if u want tho

and final moving point is if u are close to finishing ply gun naturally without shop u might as well just finish it then move on
that way u can have 2 ply guns with protocore

[untold hill]

The ply gun is the rainbow one right?

Yeah i have 3 copies of that shit so

[subtle sandal]

yes the quad 152 CL gun

[untold hill]

Not the gun

[subtle sandal]

wdym

[untold hill]

Got a long way to go

[full plinth]

what is ur pr5 status rn ?

[subtle sandal]

screenshot your pr5 page

[untold hill]

Idk what y'all mean so here's both

[subtle sandal]

were u on pr7 focus until recently? or have u just ignored research cuz according to this u were told to switch to 5 like 5 months ago

according to this I mean #gameplay-help message

[crystal plover]

faer it is from 6 months

[untold hill]

Ok one last question, do i buy any of the rainbow guns now, or wait till i finish the gold ones (champy/flan etc)

[crystal plover]

most likely he was ignoring research altogether

[subtle sandal]

i think best to focus the gold guns for now

UR gear can come later when u have the crucial gold gear

[untold hill]

Ok thx

[full plinth]

i would switch to pr7

ngl

[crystal plover]

will it change anything though ?

[full plinth]

yes

[crystal plover]

4 cat prints in 6 months i guess

[full plinth]

dont need to be snarky

if progress is slow it will still be better on a season that wont be archived in 7months

[crystal plover]

first u need to fix the issue before suggesting the next move

[full plinth]

@untold hill just make sure u try to keep ur research queue up and running as much as possible and consult sams research guide for what projects to pick

[untold hill]

I mostly do Q and G

The H ones are too expensive so i avoid them as much as possible

[crystal plover]

do u know how the queue system works ?

[untold hill]

Yes?

[crystal plover]

since u were selecting the correct researches

do u know how u ended up with 4 ply prints after 6 months ?

[untold hill]

6 months?

[crystal plover]

yeah from neko suggesting to u to select the focus to pr5

it was 23rd of november

[untold hill]

I don't remember that ngl I've been taking a break for like 6 months lol

[crystal plover]

so u are basically a returnee

[untold hill]

Ye

I've been playing for 3 years overall but i used to be super casual

[crystal plover]

then u should get anchorage followed by avp

[untold hill]

Already got anchorage

[crystal plover]

they share the same coining discount that is why u can't do them together

[untold hill]

Idk if avp's on my list ngl

I'm supposed to start the minmaxing thing after hindenburg

[crystal plover]

yeah u can get hindy in the meanwhile

hindy will be coinable in 2027 and TBH she is the least priority to develop alongside napoli and brest

[untold hill]

Im developing cuz i like her not to use her

I almost have her so that's why

Avp would take a while

[crystal plover]

if u play regularly u will be able to choose the H researches that are the best to develop the ships

it will speedrun pr6 for u

[untold hill]

Ts is the most complicated gacha game i've played ngl

I thought e7 was a wild ride but the grind here is insane

[subtle sandal]

Azure lane is resource management the game
But dont be daunted by it all
We take the grind seriously but u can chill and go at your own pace

[untold hill]

I've been going at my own pace for 3 years

So yeah that's enough of that

[subtle sandal]

Ganbare

[crystal plover]

at least the gear u get here is standardized unlike in e7

[untold hill]

I mean i don't mind the rng when it comes to gear in gacha games. I'm very impatient, so if it takes a long time to get good gear/hit end game then i just don't bother playing that game

[crystal plover]

and btw e7 gearing compared to al is kinda of a nightmare too it requires an insane game knowledge

[untold hill]

Azur lane is an exception bc I've been playing it casually for a long time so i don't have to start from scratch

[crystal plover]

i finished w15 in 8 months al is easy and just needs a little bit of consistency and some help from others

[subtle sandal]

U can pretty much clear end game in 4-5 months in azure lane if u tryhard

[untold hill]

I wouldn't really say it requires insane game knowledge, just some luck lol

[untold hill]

Doesn't the protocore maxing take like 6 months by itself?

[subtle sandal]

U dont need protocore maxing to finish ch15

But it helps

[crystal plover]

there is a quadrillion game and gearing style that u might discard an important piece if u don't know them all
that is the biggest issue in e7

[untold hill]

Yeah ig opsi exists

[crystal plover]

yeah opsi gear is cracked for end game

[untold hill]

I was mostly referring to building specific characters, in which you can easily find out which set and stats you require if you ask the right people. At that point you just have to try and get that gear

[crystal plover]

basically end game which is w15 is called plane hell
and opsi has 3 planes that counters that

[subtle sandal]

Azure lane is also simple once u start to understand gear
Well mostly
U will get there

[untold hill]

Man i avoided opsi for the longest time. I remember trying to play the game seriously before, but someone sent me a google doc of all the gear in the game, and that stumped me to the point i went back to being casual

I was not gonna read none of that

[crystal plover]

u can easily discard a gear that is meant for another character
that is the biggest issue that needs a vast game knowledge
u can ask for characters yes but that doesn't mean that while farming u might find another gear for others and if someone doesn't know its applicability they might think that it is worthless and sell or extract it

and knowing how insanely hard to get the right pieces that might be a 1 life piece

that is gone 4ever

[untold hill]

Yeah but it can't be a once in a lifetime piece if you don't roll it

Im pretty sure getting the base stats isn't that hard

Rolling the gear is the hard part

[crystal plover]

1 main 4 subs right set and red rarity i can't call that an easy find TBH

[untold hill]

I can't really get too deep into the argument bc i played e7 for only like 2 weeks, but from the gacha games with rng gear that i've played, base gear's value skyrockets by an insane amount after being lvled and having good rolls

It's either you discard a gear that's not lvled so not much value lost, or you discarded a piece of gear that you already rolled, and in that situation it's really your fault

[crystal plover]

nowadays in e7 they drown u in red gear that the chances of getting good stuff is high
back in my days the only way to get gear was just from hunts and 2 per year artena event
