[IDLK] Han951753 Beta Tester 76 posts Report post #1 Posted January 27, 2019 As we all know that WG is going to remove Masashi from the shop and possibly replace it with Alaska, so there comes the question. How much does a Alaska going to cost? Is it fxp only or you can get it with coal as well, and how much is it, does anyone have an conformation on it? I really want to know. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not about how easy it is to collect the free xp, it's about whether or not she's a third again better than the Kronstadt, and guess what, simply put, she isn't.

Sorry, can you rephrase this, I don't understand what you are trying to say. Also, I'm checking your stats and I don't see that you played either Kronshtad or Alaska. How do you know which one is better? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Once it's been released we'll see how strong or weak she really is. Alaska was announced half a year ago, it's been numerous iterations of it.

From the videos it looks like Alaska will be pretty strong too. Will probably wait a bit as one isn’t really in a rush with Free XP and Coal ships. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, I will say it right here, right now: I will eat my hat if she's 33% better than the Kronny.

[EXA] KMS_Hydra Beta Tester 29 posts 9,694 battles Report post #17 Posted January 27, 2019 Can confirm, grinding 1 mil free exp is really easy nowadays, grinded the 1 mil around new year with all the exp,fexp flags and camo while doing operation dynamo in 4 man divs with anti aa sims. took around 10 days Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[LAFIE] lafeel Beta Tester 7,338 posts 7,856 battles Report post #18 Posted January 27, 2019 Doesn't mean she's neccessarily worth that amount of free xp just because you can grind it more easily now for *edited!*s sakes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[TAKEN] ColonelPete Players 37,168 posts 18,452 battles Report post #19 Posted January 27, 2019 Free XP has much less worth now. Alaska would have to be much weaker than Kronshtadt to be not worth it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[UNPRO] Syned Beta Tester 22 posts 3,927 battles Report post #21 Posted January 31, 2019 at least 2 people talking about the worth of FXP also have stated they grind it on premium ships. Are you converting it with gold or just relying on the XP increases afforded to premiums? If converting then remember not everyone has the cash money to do so.

Good game in Belfast with flags and camos could earn you somewhere around 10k free Xp per game (give or take) Like I said, when I first started playing it took me ages to accumulate any decent amount of free xp. Now days, with all the free xp flags and camos and missions and campaigns and crates.... it's too easy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raziel_Walker Players 463 posts 8,755 battles Report post #23 Posted February 4, 2019 1 million free XP divided by 35 = 28.571 doubloons when converting XP to free XP. 30.500 doubloons is only € 99,99 With Free XP so much easier to earn these days, shouldn't WG change conversion to 35 XP per doubloon in normal cases and 50 XP per doubloon when there is a discount?

[ARCAD] Aventus [ARCAD] Beta Tester 42 posts 9,784 battles Report post #24 Posted February 5, 2019 see many are missing the point.... not everyone own a OP premium ship for people with regular account and few premium ships 1 mil exp is a nightmare tho i am fine with 1 mil cost of the ship but she better be worth it :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[RODS] Ronchabale Players 2,835 posts 9,534 battles Report post #25 Posted February 12, 2019 Possibility of her being nerfed in the future (like the GC) for sure makes u think twice, How much she costs is relevant only to how much u have I am sitting on 1.27 mill FXP and can buy all the dubloons I want in the premium shop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
