Ok sweet, let me get all the shots and put em in an imgur. Ty for doing this 😄
supple heath

supple heath
hood oath 
frozen plaza

silk cosmos

you can use this for gears
river geyser
so for opsi you want four fleets
- Mob/leveling fleet
- AP BB fleet
- converging torpedo CV fleet
- Light armor fleet
frozen plaza
river geyser
actually can you resend the images but sort by hull type 
silk cosmos
doesn't have to be a converging torpedo CV fleet
frozen plaza
Lmao sure you got it
silk cosmos
believe in NGA USS CV fleet alternative 
but ideally converging is better if possible
river geyser
USS CV fleet alternative is light armor rocket plane fleet
frozen plaza
Wait sort by hull type as in DD, CL, CA, etc or something else?
river geyser
yeah
frozen plaza
Also shinano I need 1 more bulin to mlb

frozen plaza
silk cosmos
i see the nep ship 
frozen plaza
Yea, I was playing since like a month after AZ released to EN
silk cosmos
frozen plaza
I used to have close to 100% collection rate till I got too caught up doing other stuff, and I wasn't playing azur lane at all by the time opsi was announced/pr3 was released whichever was earlier
supple heath
Yea, I was playing since like a month after AZ released to EN
you took a break then? too bad you missed NJ event

no akashi
frozen plaza
no akashi <:AkashiCry:738588945167810590>
I even have the quest for her, just never did it
Other:
Should gear be sorted a specific way other than rarity and should it be in an imgur? I'll just send gold and rainbow gear. Assume I have or can get most purple and blue gear unless it was event limited cause I have like 500 of each purple gear box
supple heath
just use this for gear
https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/home
frozen plaza
Ah ok ok
silk cosmos
just use ^^^ ye
supple heath
if you want to go "why this gear good?" use this
https://imgur.com/a/TNpH1rL
silk cosmos
if you got any specific gear questions ask tho 
frozen plaza
Hmm
I basically want 4 fleets worth of good gear for opsci right? And one of you said 1 mob/leveling fleet, 1 ap bb fleet, 1 converging torpedo fleet, and 1 light armor fleet right?
silk cosmos
yeah
supple heath
1 mob
1 CV for heavy/med
1 BB he for light
anything you want for last
river geyser
Mob: Perseus + whoever, akaga and some vanguard you wanna level or something
BB: Monarch Warkai->Howe Hyuuga->DoY Roon Helena Swiftsure(?)
CV: Shinano Shoukaku Ark Royal Portland Potter Sirius
Light armor: Richie JB some third BB Chapayev Sanrui Kirov
that’s what I got
frozen plaza
Also I believe I got told vf-17 is no longer considered BiS right? I dunno what the heck the gear lab is but it's got better now right?
river geyser
ideally you have Ariake or Yuugure instead of Potter
supple heath
Also I believe I got told vf-17 is no longer considered BiS right? I dunno what ...
yes, gearlab is next to shipyard. more info here https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/Gear_Lab
frozen plaza
Sweet ty ty
Oh, I know a gear question I can ask
Could I send my current BP's of gear I can craft in the depot tab and ask what I should make and what I should do with the stuff I shouldn't make?
silk cosmos
if you got ariake or kazagumo they are better than potter in CV fleet btw
supple heath
Could I send my current BP's of gear I can craft in the depot tab and ask what I...
yeah sure
frozen plaza
Lmao
silk cosmos
Also I believe I got told vf-17 is no longer considered BiS right? I dunno what ...
yeah but vf-17 is fine to use
but damage diff is decently large cause you going from 2x500 on vf-17 to 2x1000 on the better fighters
frozen plaza
Gotcha, I'll check out the gear lab link and get started on working towards that stuff then
Also I think I might have ariake
Ok done
river geyser
Hazemeyer is the second best AA gun for backliners, IJN Bofors is a great accelerator for ships with weak AA
Nothing else really great
supple heath
1st pic Quint torp and roomba (both optional but recommended
2nd pic Haze and hexa AA, Twin 100 is optional
3rd pic steam cata if you running out
4th pic toolbox if need more
6th pic bofors if need more AA
frozen plaza
I see. Is there anything I can with these bps of gear then like sell them or something? Or are they just stuck sitting there useless
silk cosmos
they are sitting there useless
its a net loss of gold to craft them into gear then scrap them
supple heath
just let em stay, you need coin to make so it might be useless
frozen plaza
supple heath
also you might need em for gold E research
frozen plaza
Ight. Then I think I have like 1 or 2 more questions. I'm at w12-4 safe on main story, w11 is open but not cleared on hardmode(been mostly farming 10-2H), and I'm REALLY low on gold and purple general upgrade plates. I just today finished main story of siren mode, and I have about 6.2k core data. I don't really know what I should be focusing on farming or using my core data on
Gold as in the currency
Not the plates
Shoulda specified mb
supple heath
if need gold just do long comms
silk cosmos
low on gold theres nothing really you can do besides doing the 1200 oil commissions
supple heath
for plates they come naturally as you farm W6+ stages
silk cosmos
and esp events
supple heath
also you prob can do W13 rn
frozen plaza
I see I see. What would you guys recommend I focus on for now? I have all but izumo in pr1 dev 30 in BPS, but beyond that I'm really behind on BPS for pr2, 3, and 4. So like, do I focus on leveling useful meta ships for clearing hardmode and op sci, or do I focus on pr farming, or gear farming, etc. Just lost with all these options I could choose to do
silk cosmos
in pr1 you can coin up the ships
so id suggest you do the 2 free ones a day
id focus operation siren for now
research is time gated anyway
frozen plaza
I see. Do I use the extra action point thingies while I'm doing it? Just been farming it with natural AP cause I wasn't sure what to do with all this stuff.

supple heath
i try to keep ~400 AP if i can
frozen plaza
I just went to opsi and it said "Siren force approaching" on the map overview. That's never happened before
There's also swirly tornados now
silk cosmos
swirly areas are strongholds
supple heath
swirly tornadoes give good rewards but hard if unprepared (i.e low adapts)
frozen plaza
Oh ok sweet. is there a way I can easily show you guys my opsi so you can tell me if I have enough adapt to fight these things then? Also, for the meta ships, it's just do your 2 dailies and then your 3 help dailies right?
silk cosmos
adapts are 188/188/144 max, any higher is irrelevant
and for meta ships thats correct 
supple heath
just keep in mind 188/188/144 apadts is all you need
frozen plaza
Hmm. I'm low on everything besides tactical then. 167 offense and 163 survival
How do I get more?
supple heath
buy em from ports is the easiest way
silk cosmos
also akashi whenever she comes up
river geyser
when you full clear the map you usually end up about capped
if you got the ones for vouchers anyway
fractured seas give adapts too I think
silk cosmos
if you beat every single opsi map once you should get enough tuning
frozen plaza
Roger that. So i'll try to full clear map then. Is there a big use to the nodes with gold chests in them?
silk cosmos
yes
river geyser
those are coordinates
silk cosmos
you wanna beat all the nodes with chests on em
supple heath
treasure nodes, relatively easy with good rewards
frozen plaza
And the ones with the green exclamation mark are dailies then?
river geyser
yep
frozen plaza
daily missions*
silk cosmos
daily missions*
frozen plaza
Awesome. I'll set up my 4 new fleets and get to it then. Is there a way to tell when it would be best to use my ap bb fleet vs my light armor fleet?
Oh
Sick ty
silk cosmos
Awesome. I'll set up my 4 new fleets and get to it then. Is there a way to tell ...
mainly the barrage
but ships like spite and howe can be used in either well
monarch is AP barrage so you use in AP fleet
richy is HE focused so you use her in HE/anti-light fleet
for example
frozen plaza
Ah sorry, I phrased it wrong. I'm assuming all the fleets besides mob/level are fleets to be used against bosses and siren's, so I was wondering if there's a way to tell when it would be best to use the ap bb fleet over the light armor fleet or the aircraft torpedo fleet over the ap bb fleet
silk cosmos
ah
so theres a way to tell whether to use BB or CV
its cause the boss specifically tells you
if you "scan" the boss, it would say "this ship takes 50% more shelling damage" or "this ship takes 50% less damage from shelling"
frozen plaza
Ohhhhhh
silk cosmos
but its hard to tell which BB fleet to use between HE or AP without looking at a chart like this one
so light armor is HE fleet, med/heavy is AP fleet
frozen plaza
Ap is to be used against heavy and medium sirens and HE for light?
Ok
🐌
Great. I think the last think I want to tackle is when I used to play Guild's were just for fun, now it seems they're really important. Does joining any guild work? And if not, how do you join a "good" guild
supple heath
supple heath
no worries if you need more questions just ask
supple heath
isn't your guild like dead tho kira
it's not dead
i quit the dead guild i joined a few weeks ago
silk cosmos
supple heath
5/33 active is dead
frozen plaza
So how do I help with the guild stuff now? Do I just click join operation and do my daily contributions?
silk cosmos
yeha
supple heath
yeah that's basically it
river geyser
yep
silk cosmos
thats it
frozen plaza
Sick, I put my perseus and monarch as the support units. Idk if those were good choices or not
silk cosmos
shouldn't matter anyway
the meta fleet is shinano ark royal shoukaku cheshire helena kazagumo/ariake/yuugure
so make sure you using 3 of those ships, and taking 3 of em from others as needed
frozen plaza
Wait, if you use other people's ships do they still cost oil?
frozen plaza
I don't think I have a single one of those ships leveled besides shinano lol. So what should I put here instead?
supple heath
just click recommend
silk cosmos
frozen plaza
Uni, formidable, essex, and lusty
silk cosmos
do you have enterprise
silk cosmos
actually look at what you can steal from your guild
cause maybe you can steal the ark royal and the shoukaku
supple heath
wait sam you mistook it for boss?
supple heath
silk cosmos
cause my guild is already on the boss
supple heath
normally what happens if only one is active
frozen plaza
The ships I put here, can I still use them in op siren and main story?
silk cosmos
yes
supple heath
yes
frozen plaza
ok sweet. I still don't get why it wants my level 80 no gear formidable there tho lol
supple heath
yeah it's random and imo waste of timee to put best
silk cosmos
yeah just click recommend
supple heath
it's a weird system and kinda unexplained
frozen plaza
I see I see. What's this research mode in the tech tab? It's currently off
supple heath
that's for the dock space thing
silk cosmos
yeah you can buy stuff for basically free
supple heath
I see I see. What's this research mode in the tech tab? It's currently off
wait what it should be on wtf
silk cosmos
basically free = no gem cost
frozen plaza
\
silk cosmos
frozen plaza
That's awesome!
river geyser
you need higher activity before you can get those
silk cosmos
theres still a coin cost
but coins are irrelevant when its dock space getting increased
frozen plaza
Mob: Perseus + whoever, akaga and some vanguard you wanna level or something
B...
Sorry to bother you again, but what do these mean ->. Is it like, Warkai is better than howe who is equal to hyuuga who is better than DoY?
silk cosmos
lemme just give you fleets gimme a sec
mob fleet: bama percy saratoga minneap ibuki cleve (note: can replace most anyone here w/ ships you wanna level)
anti-light/HE: richy jean bart gascogne muse saint louis tashkent london
AP: monarch warspite duke of york portland helena balti
CV: shinano akagi kaga roon bremerton sandy
frozen plaza
Ty so much
silk cosmos
if you don't wanna level gascogne muse use hyuuga instead
frozen plaza
So these fleets should be able at the levels they're at to currently clear the map of opsi, or I need to level them first beforehand? And if I need to level them first, what area should I do it at?
silk cosmos
assuming you replace gascogne muse with hyuuga
you need to max limit break tashkent and duke of york
and then use 12-4 to lvl like normal
rest of the ships are already at good enough lvl
but maybe getting akagi/kaga levels up more wouldn't hurt
frozen plaza
Ight, so w8 with gascogne tashkent and DoY till I can mlb them, then 12-4 afterwards?
silk cosmos
you already can mlb doy and tashkent i think
frozen plaza
Yep lol
So around what level can I take gascogne to 12-4 then with a fleet of her, Tashkent, DoY, and akaga?
silk cosmos
probably at the current level 
frozen plaza
Oh, sick. How much do skill levels effect that tho? I don't think Gascogne's and maye tashkent's skills are leveled 
silk cosmos
make sure other 2 vanguard slots are like noshi and leipzig
you should be fine cause akaga carries
just gotta use noshi + tash + decent AA vanguard
frozen plaza
Something like this den?
https://gyazo.com/78f515e25965f9cc289df198bb8ebfc3
silk cosmos
yeah
although actually do 12-2 instead of 12-4
mainly cause BB nodes can snipe gascogne
frozen plaza
