Commander Snowflakes: Steel for all tier 9-10 and premium tier 8 ships. Coal for regular tier 5-8 and premium tier 2-7 ships.

[22cm]

https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/videos/dev-diaries-snowflakes/

 

Normal ships tier 5-8 - coal.

Normal ships tier 9-10- steel.

 

Premium ships tier 2-7 - coal.

Premium ships tier 8-10 - steel.

 

How it works: only once for each ship, during the whole update, 0.7.12. Win any kind of battle, except Clan War.

Its a shame that they changed it and T8 wont give steel anymore but they say in the video that the "In the name of Highness" campaign directives will reward steel and of course there will be the "Steel Giants" purchasable campaign.

I am at work (and very busy ATM)... did they mention the exact amounts of "Coal" and " Steel"?

nope

[ReapingKnight]

I heard 200 for tier X and 100 for tier VIII & IX but this was before I knew it would only be the tier VIII prem ships.

Nope, but I would say 150 steel per ship. According to this:

but this leak also claims 4 stages with 4 directives each for the PEF. And it doesn't differ between techtree Tier VIII and premium Tier VIII

[Shaka_D]

Wonder what the total steel for the event would be, suppose that's a stupid question because it relates to how many ships I have in my port. Asked and answered, please ignore the old fart in the corner!

 

Apparently, I'm a schizophrenic...and so am I

As someone with zero steel already and no chance, after the end of the snowflake/steel-campaigns, to earn anymore via CW (I don't play CW), do we think there will be much benefit from keeping the steel earned, rather than converting it to Coal, just incase another Steel campaign/event happens?

 

I'm guessing the amount of steel earned would be so low that you couldn't earn a ship (the Flint is the cheapest) just from these Xmas events and would need to play CW to "top-up" any steel earned.

Pending the official news release, we basically don't know.

 

That said, the leaks (although some haven't been that accurate) have suggested that snowflakes + missions + paid missions *might* get you close to both Black and Flint (with coupons for both), depending on which ships you have in port.

 

I would hold onto any steel you earn until all aspects of the whole thing are announced...

I can confirm the number of steels are the same per tier (Tier 10 gives the same as tier 9). Steel value was nerfed from 150 to 100/ship( T8 prem included), coal was nerfed from 500 to 200 per ship (for the rest). Steel from campaigns will be nerfed (no exact value yet, but expected total sum will be slightly less than Flint's steel value).

Steel giant campaign costs ~40 eur with some bonus santa containers.

I dont really play CW too much (got a little bit of steel from that and low level ranked). However I also have had 3x supercontainers with 1500 steel in them each.

So Im sat on about 6k steel atm even though I dont really do CW/ranked that much.

 

You always have the (chance) of steel in SC, and I would be highly suprised if this was the last steel event they did - they're pushing out more steel ships, and now a (paid) mission to get more steel.

100 is kinda low... 

So a decent player with 10 tier 10 ships and 10 tier 9 ships (assuming he did not sell them to get those tier 10s) and no tier 8 premium ships (which are quite expensive) gets 2000 steel.

Compare this to a wallet warrior like me who is missing a lot of T9-10 silver ships, but has several T8 premiums, I will get 3000 out of this.

Spoiler

 

I wonder how much steel we will get from the directives, the numbers posted by armored patrol on their site don't match the most recent leaks and they claim it will be 500 steel per directive.

More coal I'm never going to use. I have 310k and counting. 

I would spend it if any of the coal ships were actually interesting. But Alaska is set to be free xp, Musashi is a copy paste as is Salem, why buy Kron when Stalin exists...and I have the lower tier ones already.

Special modules and captains.

Apart from that you are right, i have the same issue.

[22cm]

So, it s 200 steel for premium ships tier 8-10, 50 steel for normal tier 9 ships and 100 steel for normal tier 10 ships. 

 

About coal, is 300 coal for tier 2-4 premium ships, 400 coal for tier 5 premium ships, 600 coal for tier 6 premiums, and 1000 coal for tier 7 premiums. For normal ships tier 5 gets 300 coal, tier 6 gets 400 coal, tier 7 gets 750 coal and tier 8 gets 1000 coal.

Not buying T9 Yamato is big mistake, especialy when you have sources for it. Such caliber on T9 will never repeat. Musashi is most OP on its tier from these freeXP/coal ships so far in my opinion. In T7-9 battles its beast. 

 

On Salem I agree, its copy paste - same tier and nearly same ship as DM.

No she is not and she has some specialities that make her desireable.

Musashi is a great adition but Missouri is still king of t9 premiums because she is not shotgunning her shells.

But anyway if accessable by coal get this premiums, it's a sound investment of playing time.

Salem is same tier as DM, same MM, and only few situation when has upper hand over DM. In 1v1 against another cruiser will his heal make difference. But in cap control DM is clearly better. 

 

Musashi is one tier lower than Yamy and that makes it so good. In T7-9 game you have no enemy except CV or another Musashi. You can tank whole game nose in without worries. In T8-10 games its not so much weaker than Yamy, just little worse sigma, sitting higher in water, but on other hand you are not focused so much like Yamy.  

 

Missoury is....Iowa with radar, nothing more. And is not available anymore so out of question.  

 

On topic: If I count right I will get 6,5k steel from snowflakes, thats quite lot. 

[Kenliero]

So T10 silver ships give you 100 steel each, T9 only 50, which is quite a big nerf to those previous predictions...

At the same time Premiums in T8-10 will still give you 200 each, so wallet warriors will get some goodies.
