Jeez, Akashi and the others tried to shame me for not logging in for 45 days. (and threw 20 cubes and some bullins at me)

At least they haven't starved to death!

So, just look for Goonfleet (AZUR LANE if faction is important)

I missed the last French event. Is this a repeat or a new one?

Yeah, this one is a repeat, but it leads into a much larger event in a couple of weeks that will eventually have Jeanne d'Arc and a bunch of other new ones.

Jean Bart is by far the most useful of the bunch as a Siren nuker.

Dunkerque can be a nice, cheap barrage boat (her barrage is a coin flip though).

Surcouf is a sub that better at shooting than torping, for what that's worth.

The rest are fairly forgettable IMO

I got all those, Jean Bart was even my first Waifu.

I just noticed that you can buy an extra slot per floor of the dorm. Just 1200 gems per slot - ow.

1200 gives you the 6th slot on both floors

I see, that's "generous"? of them or maybe that's how it's always worked and I just can't remember buying the ones before.

I got both the new iris boats so I just put in effort based on shop buys now.

all the expansions in the dorm have cost gems, it continuing to cost gems is unsurprising

its always worked that way but i think most people buy out the dorm slots well before the second floor becomes available

I just use the two dorm slots to level up new ships when they drop. I maxxed the first floor size and have purchased every item I could (that didn't require spending gems) until the benefits dropped to +0. Why would people need 12 ships going at a time? I guess I might not play enough, but I have never seen one of my ships below the "I hope we're this happy everyday".

I am presently rotating out a squad of 5 boats in total (that can clear D2 when set up as 1:2 and 1:1)

they get exhausted within 2 hours of grinding 138.6mm DD guns

and then another squad goes in, repeat

note, I have gotten *one single piece of T3 138.6mm blueprint* in all that time

gently caress this drop rate

I think the upcoming French event will also drop this gun so no need to go completely crazy farming it now.

Again a very likpatous story
I got Le Malin and the other purple event ship quickly enough on the first day in only 60 cubes, and I just built Dace from the Wishing Well (the only Special ship I had left). Still need Swiftsure, though, but I'll get her eventually through light building.

One downgrade I noticed in QoL is that at least as far as I can tell, when you go into the Theme shop in the Furniture Mall, it no longer tells you what the overall point boost to the dorm is from buying it. It could just be that none of the themes I can buy would give me points and if there was one up that would, it would show up somewhere, but as far as I can tell it's gone.

A good day. I finally got Swiftsure today, another RN anti air CL won't go amiss. Plus the adorable lil Illustrious arrives with the 3rd drawing today. They really turned the twee up to 11 on this one - she flies around on fairy wings. One of her skills looks like it might be handy in pvp though.

I got 1 from the shop and didn't bother farming any. Too much effort, too much time. Go out and enjoy the nice weather/riots (strike as applicable) of what's left of the weekend.

:same: But I'm also caring for my 78 y/o mother which eats a fair bit of time. Even so though, I just couldn't face grinding those, I spent most of my spare time last week playing graveyard keeper after I got it on sale.

Last three days of farming D-2 has produced a grand total of 0 gold gun blueprints. Two days before that only coughed up 3. So, yeah, with the work week starting back up I'm not wasting any more time on this and I'll let my oil build back up for the next event.

ilifinicus
Mar 7, 2004

just some numbers

Prior to the event, I had 1x 138.6mm gun and 9 blueprints
I have had 51 blueprint drops (36 from boss, 15 from sirens), totalling me up to 4x guns created from dropped blueprints and 2x from the two separate events' shops
I have through this gathered 74,640 event tokens, only doing SP enough to complete the mission and then never doing it, never doing 3x builds except for the first day.
98,909 oil has so far been spent throughout the event, this of course isn't separating it from regular runs of Hard 10-1 and daily missions, so that's like maybe 5k oil that wasn't put into the clearing of the event

that's somewhere between 1700-2000 oil per single blueprint drop. not the highest of chances.

note: it's is a *ridiculous* amount of runs. I have been running a 19 (oklahoma/nevada + cassin/downes) cost mobbing fleet and a 26 cost boss fleet (washington+reno) -- this means there's only 140 oil per run and 4 separate drop chances per 140 oil
