Gold weapon blueprints have extremely low drop rates unfortunately. Luckily, the best weapons (with one exception) and auxs come from research.

Thanks!

Now I’m realizing I am low on Gold Bulins and have to slow down leveling my Nagato.... yay grind.

Now just to figure out how to convince the game to drop the yellow gun schematics I actually want...

The best way is forget about it and just plug away at the game. Every few months open the depot and see if you can build something nice. Grinding for stuff just feels like a boring job.

I never spent my event points from this last Sakura event. Are either of the ships worth buying or should I just blow 13k on blueprints and gold?

Kongou & Haruna (and Mutsu) will be added to the core shop when Sakura is archived.

Ooshio will go to light construction.

None are must have botes (unless you need/want a ijn battlecruiser), so you could easily wait on them.

No, it is a HMS-focused event. https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/Aurora_Noctis

However, there are a good number of KMS ships that drop on the event maps. Admiral Hipper (A2, C2), U-557 (B1, D1), Deutschland (B2, D2), Gneisenau and Scharnhorst (B3, D3, SP), so if you're looking for KMS Tech Points, this is a good one.

That was a pretty rough downtime with a lot of downloads (including from the play store, doesn't usually need that) and not a huge compensation for it either.

Anyway, the new ships are all pretty good looking. 4 x 10 pulls got me 2 x Perseus (a healer CVL that isn't pedo bait, hurrah), Valiant and Eagle. Good for a start but I will need them all so I can get the RN frame. God shave the Queen!

I got Howe and all the other purps but not Perseus which is the big ticket girl in the roster. I'll do 3 pulls a day till the end of the event and whale if I have to then.

Got all the build only boats in 80 cubes.

Just3c seems to consider Howe to be the best of these.

I managed to get everyone but Hermione in about 60 pulls. I got a lot of doubles of the others though.

Pulled Perseus today on the 3 pulls, cleared out the banner so I can just do discount light pulls or not at all outside of the daily to stock back up.

This event is really loving me over. I've used all the cubes, coin and gems I had and still no Howe. I've had a parade of other SSRs and enough Valiants to paper a wall. No Hermione either but I'll get her from the exchange.

Still time to scrape something together and get Howe but drat she's breaking my balls.

Yeah I had done good with the other events but I just have poo poo luck pulling the event ships.

The juuustgram posts are so amazing so I hope they keep going and it's something we see somewhat often.

My Roon hit L120 so I got round to oathing her. The oath text explains a lot.

Once I finsh the 'Do B2/D2 X time with Y' missions I'll roll into D1 farming with the cheapest fleet that can manage. I might as well grab a 2nd black stick while this is on.

I had to buy gems and keep pulling (just 2 at a time to save what resources I could) but I finally got Howe. The frame should be in the bag soon so I just need to gather points for the exchange.

I've mostly been doing the 3-a-day and have Howe and Perseus. Is Hermione worth it? I'm inclined to say yes, but dunno how much I care.

FINALLY pulled Howe and I'm excited to say the least. HOWE-ever does anyone have a good recommended build for her? I dont have a lot of the general gold tier equipment recommended for BB's so I have to make due. I'm using the gold triple 406 but its normal ammo vs. HE or AP?

Her barrage is on a timer, so she doesn't need a fast-firing gun. 95% of the time you'll be using HE BB guns (the other 5% is AP, normal BB ammo is garbage). The usual purple triple 406mm should work fine (many of the gold BB guns are worse than the purple triple 406mm).

Got Hermione to drop from D3! Now it's just a matter of getting Perseus (and not more Howes) to drop...

Like he said, use your biggest bang main gun - I went with the gold proto 410 as I have some spares. Standard for BBs I use the purple triple 152 (suidice boat clearer) in aux. Then look at it's AA skill, if it's decent, give it a good AA gun otherwise one of the purple overflow (I went with the gold PR bofors with hit). A fire control radar and the core shop white crit shell.

Use it to limit break Howe. Bulins are in short supply early on and she's not worth that many medals via retirement.

Hi!
Keep duplicates for limit breaking the ships you're interested in running. It saves you a bullin.
If you don't have much dock space and don't mind the increased oil cost, you can probably just limit break them early at level 10 for the first limit break, level 30 for the second and level 70 for the last.
