go to your dock
Ye
Please listen to samheart, he can help you. I swear.
lol
honestly he might just be underlevel
i m afraid he is
Gimme a minute
I find it very strange that he is able to say his starter dies this early.
lets not judge at first
cause laffey kinda dies fast at the start of the game

Can't screenshot
erm...
Lol
no LB.
Just gotta LB some of them if you can right now

Loads of them
dont limit break too too much tho that increases oil cost
equipment just make sure all slots are filled
for now
like don't have any slot empty, specifically the main gun, aux gun, torpedos, AA
purple good if you have any
Dont worry about oil hes a fresh player he needs xp and progression
Again, oil costs DOESNT matter. Not until you're like entering the mid game.
So how much do I need to grind
auxilaries empty are fine, but you want all the actual weapons
A ton
To comfortably pass chapter 3
around lvl 27s and a couple limit breaks should be enough
with your currently fleets honestly just need some limit breaks
So is that the mistake I'm making
Man... Nimi and Laffey this early of the game even.
Cause I haven't limit breaked any of them
Yes.
Limit break the ships you use whenever its available
You want screenshots of my dock?
sure
That'll be nice.
i am going to flip, if he has like Essex or Nagato
What if the dock is all T0 haha



if you got ranger use her over bogue
bruh
Have you done any pulls yet?
yeah loads, but im so unlucky with them
id hold off on pulling for now btw besides your one daily a day

we getting anniversery and event somewhat soon so just be patient 
Sam a fresh player can and should be pulling at least a couple
Perma pools aint exactly trash like they used to be

lots of dupes
use oklahoma over long island
Are you enhancing your ships?
use chicago and leander over cassin and downes
u can do that with all the dupescommons to increase stats
don't use rares or above for enhancing tho
only use duplicate commons that you don't need to enhance
but they could also be used to limit break right?
First SR... Is a sub carrier. 
is she good
I can't comment on that, sorry. But she's the only submarine carrier iirc.
sub carrier is good, but shes kinda pointless as a new player 
cause you can't use subs for a long while
is there a good way to get a lot of equipment?
yes she is a good sub the problem is u wont be able to use subs in a way thats usefull to you until later in the game
tech boxes
specifically blue or higher would help you a bit
You want to combine the pink ones into blue ones or above
buying them?
i wouldn't spend coins on them, but get them from any other source you can
so from levels?
events and guild shop
any specific levels to grind on for equipment?
3-2, 3-4, 4-2
thats when you start getting pretty decent equipment drops
until then just equip something to every slot, preferably blue or higher, but if not something > nothing
bro, i barely survived 3-1
I forgot, do you have access to upgrade Canteen and Merchant at this point in the game?
once you beat a stage enough times it unlocks "safe mode" which makes it easier to deal with by a decent bit
im pretty sure
As you limit break, yours ships get stronger overall. Again, try once more.
You should be doing fine now.
yeah limit breaking is a pretty substantial stat boost esp early game
good idea to do that if you havent
so do i just limit break every ship in my fleet?
how about oil efficiency
i wont be able to grind as much then
its too early in the game for oil efficieny
for oil efficiency, just use fewer ships in the fleet
but when progressing you wanna use all 6 slots
when farming you can start removing ships and running like 4 or 2 ship fleets but thats farming
i thought cassin and downes were really good
I honestly never ran out of oil, until when my commander level is a good 40 or so. It comes down to, how active you are.
Early game, not really. You are still in the early game.
they are cheap options when farming, but when progressing they suck 
well thats sad
and as an early game player since you can't level everything, you wanna focus on progressing ships first, then farming ships later
Come back when you're around commander Lv 70 ish or like you have fleets above 110s.
The guide that got linked on can help you a good 80 percent of the way.
oh also
when i go into chapter 3 levels, the health of my ships just go down so fast
right theres a new player guide lemme link that
/guide
get a blue AA gun on everyone with an AA gun slot
Wat
yeah check out this guide
lemme check this out
Use that, that guide helped my entire early game.
helped me a lot too
Which was like... 5 days. 
so to summarise then, i basically just need to limit break, grind, get equipment and replace a few players?
Yes.
and enhance
which ships should i replace
There are 2 ways to enjoy the game also, that's the first one.
Second, just play ships you actually just like.
replace long island with nevada
Subject to what you have actually.
You want him to have... 3 carriers only?
also as i said replace cassin and downes with chicago and leander
nevada? shes a common
nevada is good common
until you get something better
anything is better than long island

long island is a bad full stop
Rarity is nothing. Please don't forget that.
how many cubes should i be using a day
1 or 2
For now, do 1 build a day and just HODL.
Anniversary is coming, there may be something juicy.
id do like 1 special pull or 1 heavy pull a day
It is really tempting to just use all my cubes
Don't do it.
which i regret afterwards
have that self control
wait for an event banner
yeah wait for a rateup
either way, my luck with pulls are beyond unbelievable
I saved all my cubes and my fleet was bad.
Then when event was release, my progress went beyond and I'm doing fine now.
yeah you got i-13 
exactly
We've all felt that way at one point or another tho
you can count the number of players who got i-13 as their first gold on one hand
(probably)
but also I-13
when i first got her, i thought she was good until i found out she was a sub
i-13, I would definitely kill for her.
And yeah, what Sam said.
how long did it take yous to actually progress
you can become midgame
player in like a month or two if you tryhard enough
I pulled Essex on my 4th pull so...it was easier for me than others
my lord
as a casual could take a bit tho
When I started, I spend an average 10 hours a day at 21st of May. I am pretty mid-end game now.
Events will help you.
yeah events help a lot with getting ships
I forgot to mention, how do shipyards work
thats late game
so confusing
you select one ship at a time, get all the requirements done, then you get that ship as a reward for getting all the requirements
sounds easy
problem is limit breaking that ship takes a long while
but first u need enough ships of the faction that ship is part of to unlock it
cause its different than normal ships
Yes, and honestly I rather you ignore the shipyard.
Yes, they are more powerful than usual but limit breaking them uses a different ruling.
im doing saint louis rn
you need 343 prints to max saint louis
im expecting you got like 30 or something max 
what
there is research academy next to shipyard in the menu
on saint louis's icon on bottom of shipyard, theres a number next to it
u need to do research in there to get prints to upgrade ships you build in shipyards
just ignore shipyard
yeah
just maybe do a research in the academy here or there
but that should be the extent of it
once you get to like chapter 6 or chapter 7 come back and we can go over in more detail
just dont spend cubes on the research as a new player honestly
cause i thought they were good
those might be commissions
its more mid-endgame stuff anyways

forget what i said
yeah
i was thinking of something else
commissions click recommend and do as many as possible
yeah i do commisions a lot
thats good
good keep it up 
now, yous need to teach me all about research academy
i have no idea how it works
each research has different costs
after you pay the cost, it starts
after it finishes, it gives you rewards like gear prints, and blueprints
some require gold, others none, other some other requirement for cost
gear prints can be used to craft gear
(dont do the cubes cost tho)
blueprints are used in shipyard to enhance shipyard ships
What does research focus do
you can also get blueprints for equipment
makes one research season appear more often
focuses on specific sesaon of ships and gear
there are 4 different research seasons each with different ships and gear
as new player you should be research focus season one
or "PR1 focus" i think is what game says
Which one
^^
Do I just press it
yes
It does nothing after I press it
Yeah
It starts on the next research onwards.
then it works
u good then
and its set properly
Then what
you should have a screen like that after you back out
Yeah I see a few
Do I press them then
yeah press
Commence?
Sorry I'm an absolute noob
then press commence ye
sall good we were all noobs at one point
So when does it finish
you have a timer there
that one should be 12 hours
for that one the rewards might suck but something > nothing
thats my screen so he has a different one
Oh
ah nvm
meta lab is way way later
Should I be focusing on those
ow god back in my boomer days the game was easier
like commander lvl 60 is when meta lab is a thing
same with gear lab as well thats also commander lvl 60
fleet tech gives your ships minor stat boosts
fleet tech is automatically added when you get a new ship
each ships gives bonus on unlock and at lvl 120
and when you lvl 120 a ship
tech is also required to unlock PR ships in shipyard
I'm nowhere near that stage
but again thats wayyy later
additonally you get fleet tech points for unlock max lb and lv120 thats used for faction lvls
downes and cassin for chicago and leander
Sam did mention already.
sam

long island for nevada
and bogue for ranger if you got ranger
otherwise keep bogue
if you ever get a repulse shes bad don't use her
QE is fair. She is better with Royal Navy ships to be with.
My 2nd fleet looks fine now to me
oh also if possible go to #friend-and-guild-id and join a guild
thats on your server
in game guild finder is trash
also make sure the guild is open to new players
and not like full tryhard 
should we bring up merit rn
How do I know which one is good
any are fine as long as they say open to everyone and its on your server
Whats a public guild
Just ask those, if they ask for your details and you reject them; Just politely thank them and ask another. No worries. 
My first guild and i never left.
public guild is the default guild everyone is if they aren't in a guild
its just public guild stuff costs more than in an actual guild so thats why we recommend actual guild
yeah dock space is good
I only have 150 slots
you can do /gems in #bot-spam channel for more information on gem spending
150 slots is fine for now, i would hoard personally
if you are running out of dock space, start using the extra common ships as enhancing material, and retire all the extra blue ships for medals
Dorm first, Dock Space second are your #1 priority as a new player. There's that gemspending guide on what sam said.
I keep repeating myself, but should I be using cassin and downes
no
not yet*
I have Houston I could use
houston is kinda a meh purple
keep them as they will be good when u need to farm for something but as sam said earlier they are bad for actual content clearing
houston is ok for early game
chicago is also easier to limit break cause blue
I also used to use norfolk a lot
remember that chicago is pretty much a glass cannon and cant tank
so put her in the middle
if u plan to use her
norfolk is bad
Cygnet any good
not really
Leander has a good skill
leander is good to use for beginner
Indianapolis is good I'm pretty sure
indianapolis is goodish as a new player, but id rather not invest in her since as purple shes harder to max anyway
Ohh, so it's harder to level up purples
i was referring more to limit breaks
cause there are higher priority purples to limit break
Yes.
also like houston chicago is just better than indianapolis
Oh ok
its more that its harder to get dupes of purples and u want to spend your bullins in better ships
Is it better to open specials or heavies
especially if they are event ships
There's a few things we are not telling you, as you're going to get information overloaded. So don't worry about it.
Both are kinda identical. Heavy has battleships. Special has Carriers.
yeah there isn't really one thats overall "better"
All builds are equally as good for you. Again, you are new.
Any new ship you get, ultimately helps you.
unless its repulse 
I just opened a special
Unless Kent.
And of course I get kent
always kent
I want Takao or atago so bad

near the anniversery you might get a free gold ship
When is it
They might be avaliable in medal exchange
tru tho
around august 16th ish if we get it
ow and also remeber about doing your rookie missions
Theres a special broadcast soon
and getting rewards out of them
3-4 is around lvl 30 right?
yeah
Yeah
thats really quick to beat especially if u lb your ships
When you limit break ships, are they easier to level up?
Afaik, I remember I can push from W1-1 to 3-4 without stopping actually. Just push until so and farm.
limit breaking is a one time big stat increase per limit break
leveling is the same before or after limit break
Again, we went throught this. Limit breaking will STRENGTHEN your ship.
Indirectly it will make leveling easier.
Oh lol
i mean yeah it makes leveling easier cause your ships are more powerful 
How to make your ship with one gun strong?
Use more guns
That's literally it.
That's literally what limit breaking do.
if its a bb or mgm +1 ca
Imma be limit breaking a lot then
Yes.
and of course don't use bulins on ships you aren't using
no problem
I appreciate it
thats why this channel exists
even tho we mostly shitpost here
I will highly likely be coming back for more help
kk thats fine
6 HE vanguards.
check out the new player guide
and we shall be here to help
dw about it
wait imma re send it quickly
Thanks a lot
yeah
then start progressing as much as you can
also use the dorm to your advantage to level
Ok
even if you have no food in the dorm, they still gain levels
How many times should I limit break
Actually?
for limit breaking priority yeah
As much as you can, but limit break your starter ships as priority.
Main fleet > vanguard. But your starter is debatable to be higher priority.
Should I put a starter ship in each fleet
that could work sure
thats a pretty good idea
รause I unlocked z23 along the way
Are they really that strong
starters are 
To me they weren't that good
laffey is kinda
until you retrofit her
once you limit break
but z23 is pretty ight at the start
yeah
yes
but for main fleet it doesn't matter for now as long as there is a BB flagship
vanguard just put the starter on far left and that should be fine
shame no Javelin, she's debatably better for early game
not too much but your softest ship should not be flagship in main fleet
far left?
yea
That just means they will be targeted the most
or just put QE as flagship
the starters are some of the more tankier ships early game
np
If you funnel all the XP on Javelin, she can literally not die as per my experience dictates.
Oh really
That's just me, but you do not have her.
too bad evasion tanking doesnt work in higher worlds
javelin is good as a starter tho
Yes, sadly.
but you already have 2 starters so no real need for javelin
because she drops of the hardest of the 4
javelin is slightly worse than laffey and z23 late game, but shes still usable
Yes.
its just why use javelin when you got laffey and z23 
also did any of you have the slow internet problem when updating
yeah some ppl did ive heard
not just you don't worry
if you still having it go to #tech-support and ask there for help
i personally didnt but #tech-support was fun today
ive been downloading it on my main device for around 3 hours now and it isnt even 10% done
๐
yeah thats a #tech-support
unless someone else here had that problem and knows the solution
They're still looking for a solution

we are just random players not the devs 
go for it
make sure to do commissions and free research academy
classroom as well but that should be self explanatory i hope
im not ready for that
Yes.
1-1 ahrd mode is lvl 22 btw
save
so tempting
you get 3 cubes from missions
SAVE
i think
isn't it 3 cubes + 1 from building once?
or is it 2 cubes + 1 from building once
can somebody pin the beginner guide
i can't remember
im too lazy to look for it
4 total
oh yeah
-1 or -2 from the build mission
wait i have a better idea
so 3 at max, then if you lucky 1 or 2 from commissions
thats it?
since hes doing heavy or special hes getting 2 per day min
the 1 from hard mode that makes all the difference
i think with a single 2 cube build he still can get 4 a day on average because of comms
since rate ups are coming soon so you wanna get as many cubes as possible
excluding hard mode sheananigans
ok, ill try not getting tempted
