thread

[glossy coyote]

Send you gears

[pure patio]

i know my skills are lacking too! i reinstalled a few days ago :p

[glossy coyote]

@past scarab does W13 have submarines?

[past scarab]

no

[uncut walrus]

100% a gear issue

[past scarab]

^

Specially those Hazemeyers

[pure patio]

Oh okay

[uncut walrus]

though the ship choices aren't exactly brilliant either

[pure patio]

Yeah I kinda just

Picked the ones I wanted

[past scarab]

Oh and Taihou's gear's awful

[glossy coyote]

Not mlb Shimakaze

[pure patio]

😿

[marsh cloak]

Suisei

[uncut walrus]

honestley if you're dying at the boss

I'm not really suprised

[pure patio]

I barely cleared 13-1

[uncut walrus]

first off, what ships do you have to work with?

[glossy coyote]

I can already tell even mobs

Send your dock

[pure patio]

One second I get my other ships

[marsh cloak]

Also send screenshots of your depot (with show equipped on)

[pure patio]

Oki

these are the ones that are somewhat leveled

gear coming soon

[uncut walrus]

just post everything

your ships I mean

[pure patio]

i had to restart my emulator

[uncut walrus]

all your ships will need to be level 120 anyway

for W13

[past scarab]

What else would he post

[pure patio]

oh

[glossy coyote]

If can't, might aswell just farm w12

[past scarab]

Once you are done taking screenshots give this a read for planes https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide#cv-airplanes

[past scarab]

Firsts things first, these are awful, you are better of using Purple F4Us

[pure patio]

noted

[past scarab]

Which you don't seem to have

[uncut walrus]

a distinct lack of ships in your dock which is interesting

[past scarab]

[glossy coyote]

[pure patio]

werm

i have what i have!

[past scarab]

Start saving cubes from now on

Pull the September UR banner and pray to get some decent ships besides the event ones

[pure patio]

oke!

[past scarab]

Cuz yeah you have severe lack of ships rn

[pure patio]

🙏

[past scarab]

What's your dock space at?

[pure patio]

112/186

[uncut walrus]

yeah even a new player easily gets more than 112 ships

[past scarab]

[pure patio]

(like 40 of those 112 are bulins)

[uncut walrus]

do you just retire ships indiscriminantly or something

[pure patio]

it would seem so

i reinstalled a few days ago and came back to what i have now

[uncut walrus]

yeah don't do that in future

[muted plank]

how long you been playing for?

[uncut walrus]

and invest in more dock space

[pure patio]

erm a few months i suppose

but i have no clue what im doing

[pure patio]

oki

[muted plank]

I ask a lot of questions on here and it definitely helps a lot since this game is actually complicated.. i also been playing since 3ish months and in a somewhat similar situation

[uncut walrus]

Mob: Shinano, Taiho, Unicorn, Noshiro, Allen M. Sumber, Chapayev

Boss: NJ, Enterprise, Essex Retrofit, [???], San Diego, Jeanne D' Arc

the scary part is a 2 limit break Z52 might actually be the best tank here

[pure patio]

UR bulns are hard to get :(

but i will make those teams

[muted plank]

I feel like sticking to farming 12-4 for both gold and xp is likely the play here

[uncut walrus]

well the event for now but that's the only play

[past scarab]

Not really hard, but time gated

But they recently increased the monthly income so you can get 2 each month from just Spec Core

[uncut walrus]

read this to get your gear up to scratch

[pure patio]

oki

[past scarab]

he pasted the link twice

[pure patio]

oh

[uncut walrus]

you can also safely dispose of all of this
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Thebombzen/Safe_To_Scrap_MK_II

[pure patio]

ah. i see a lot of overlap here...

[muted plank]

12-4 is a very good stage to farm gold, but it also gives a lot of xp. I've been doing solely 12-4 for a month now and it made me able to get Agir, Anchorage, Fdg, August, Neptune and Kearsarge, and a ton of gold to awaken ships, etc etc.. Now as they said tho it's better to farm the event, regardless doing chapter 13 is not the play

[pure patio]

what about the gearlab stuff

is that worth investing resources in

[past scarab]

Long term yes

Try to get into OpSi

[uncut walrus]

yes
https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/gear-lab

[pure patio]

i have some materials from opsi

[past scarab]

Get more

Whole lot more

Most of the better late game stuff is gotten from Gear Lab

Same with research https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/research-focus

Though I doubt you can do PR8 rn

[muted plank]

with that amount of ships theyre probably lacking the tech to do any pr ship

[pure patio]

these things are expensive as hecc :(

[past scarab]

Well I guess you can start doing the Research itself and work on getting FdG and some of the PR4 ships while focusing Season 8

[pure patio]

this is the only one from pr8 that i can do

[past scarab]

I meant Research, not the ships

[uncut walrus]

meow

[pure patio]

oh okay

[past scarab]

meow

[pure patio]

ive been doing 7 for quite a bit apprently

[past scarab]

Define quite a bit

Cuz if it's only like 1 or 2 weeks and you don't have many blueprints you can just ditch it for Season 8

[pure patio]

idk what this qualifies as

[muted plank]

is this a switch to pr8 angle?

[pure patio]

i dont evne know where these blueprins come from

[marsh cloak]

seems like only a few weeks of research

[past scarab]

Depends if you have Soyuz or not

[muted plank]

do not

[past scarab]

I would swap idk what's Cheeky's opinion on that

[uncut walrus]

I wrote this to explicitly not have an opinion

[past scarab]

state your opion

[past scarab]

Research, you most likely have it focused on PR7

aka this

[pure patio]

oh okay

yeah sounds about rgith

[past scarab]

Set it to 8

[pure patio]

oki

[past scarab]

You can give this a read https://azurlaneecgc.com/research
But my TLDR is:
D > Q > G or Q > D > G
And the shorter the research the better

If you gotta go to bed you can take a longer one in between if needed

[pure patio]

oke oke

thanks for the help

[past scarab]

For now forget about W13 and do the event

After that level the teams cheeky gave you in W12

[pure patio]

one quick question

i assume i should finish this one

and i see that i need a soyuz... how do i get her

[past scarab]

Make a time machine to around March 2026

[marsh cloak]

wait for her rerun banner ^

[pure patio]

😿

[past scarab]

Sure, unlocking the ships is the easy part

Getting bps for the dev levels is where the fun starts

[pure patio]

ah.

sounds like i have a lot of fun grinding to do

[past scarab]

Welcome to AL

Seasons take around 3~4 months to complete

[marsh cloak]

You can finish her build if you want, but you want them at dev 30 as well or they won't be too great

I'd honestly shift focus to some other ships in earlier PRs since they are coinable and give you more tech points to build later pr ships

[pure patio]

oh okay

[past scarab]

That does NOT mean changing your Research Season Focus, stay in PR8 but you can unlock and Coin the earlier ones

[glossy coyote]

this is a time game and farming

[past scarab]

Work on FdG from PR2 and Anchorage from PR4 after

[pure patio]

oke

im going to bed now, thanks for all the help

ill come back and ask again in 3 months

[past scarab]

See you in 3 months
