Negativvv ∞ Players 8,241 posts 11,737 battles Report post #2 Posted December 19, 2018 Ouch someone has over spent on crates... Keep it all for Prem time I guess but there is little to spend it on if you have the ships you want. I'm about to get a massive doubloon dump for Prem CV refunds but I'll be in a similar position too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do not get so much gold. Buy ships. Buy captains soon, if you do not have them yet. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have bought for the T10 ships + a few others but with 50% off I may buy for a few more which now is uninteresting. With 1700 or so Premium one-use camos it is almost difficult to get rid of them faster than I earn new through missions, crates etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[NWP] Blixies Beta Tester, Players 2,160 posts 6,666 battles Report post #7 Posted December 19, 2018 You have just over 1k battles and you already have all the premiums? Does this include Kron and Musashi? Because, if it doesn't, wait for the 35:1 conversion and get to 1,5kk Free XP. Proceed to buy the aforementioned vessels. Other than that? keep it don't buy any more wait until WG generously allows you to spend them on a new generation of premiums add a dab of lavender to your milk, leave town with an orange, and pretend you're laughing at it Cheers. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s a saying, as in, yes you’re right 😜 not that I got them all in one crate! yes, I did spend a considerable amount on crates, it’s no secret, I’ve discussed in the crate thread, but that’s got nothing to do with my original question 🤫 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It seems like a huge waste to me. Once you can farm with any one 19 point captain for EliteXP, you're home. 20 - 30k every game for training any future captains. The dude has got the flags for it, since he opened enough crates to pay for a small catering party at WG HQ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It probably is, but if there is nothing else to spend doubloons on...? Personally, I would buy premium time, and an occasional top-up to get a captain to the next point, and rely on 19 pointers for the bulk of the work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not selling some of the better cammos is apparently going to (indirectly) bag me a bit of extra steel: I suck moose balls (technical term, I'm assured) when it comes to cruiser play, but a judicious mix of high-end cammo and the current Op has unlocked a couple of T9 cruisers in time for the steel event - if I'd left the regular perma cammos, I wouldn't have made it... It's always worth keeping some of the better ones around, in the event that this general kind of situation comes up... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[BEACH] Unknown_Lifeform Beta Tester 267 posts 8,140 battles Report post #21 Posted December 19, 2018 In the patch tomorrow they are introducing items in the arsenal for doubloons - special captains for 1.5k each and permanent camos for 1k - 2.5k each. It also opens up the possibility of other things being added for doubloons later. I think its a good idea as I rarely spend doubloons and they tend to build up - and I never actually buy them, they just drop in events and super containers and occasional bundles. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
