[CHEFT] DFens_666 Players 12,668 posts 10,074 battles Report post #4 Posted March 7, 2019 Why not? After CV rework i had 1,9 million FreeXP, i used 500k for ships/modules and now i used 1million for Alaska. The more lines you have unlocked, the more FreeXP you can gather. Back when Missouri was a FreeXP ship, 750k actually was a lot to accumulate. Now its very easy with all the super flags/camos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aotearas Players 8,460 posts 13,036 battles Report post #5 Posted March 7, 2019 Very much possible, depending on how much free XP you spend whilst grinding ships and how much you earn (nowadays there's loads of special signal flags and camouflages that give free XP bonuses). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes. Aside from a few occasions where I spent a few hundred free exp to make up the difference I needed to unlock a module or new ship (because I just couldn't be arsed to play one more game), I don't spend free exp on tech tree ships. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not so sure I could resist the temptation to spend it. spend with your brain, not with pure instinct/greed... as in, never skip a ship, don't just blindly unlock all the new modules on a ship but instead be smart about it, look closely what they do and which ones you really need for the ship to perform adequately. Also, this kind of thing kinda helps... shame Cherry Blossom is temporarily out of rotation due to CV rework 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not so sure I could resist the temptation to spend it. Spend it.....t9 premiums are worst kind.....you are almost guaranteed tX matchmaking and t10 ships are much stronger than them. Basically why play TX games in t9 ship and be underdog most of the times? it is not worth this 10% of games when you are top tier and you club t7. only possibly reason could be if t9 has some special ship....Alaska is not that.....better save coal and get Salem 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clearly OP can learn from it.. and me... Easiest (spells most consistent) way was/are Operations for me. But the current ones dont work too good for that. Narai could work, but its kinda hard to complete with 4 guys. Less players = more rewards for one individual. 30k+ FreeXP per game wasnt hard or uncommon to achieve, which is basicly 100k per hour. Only problem is lack of Signals and Camos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only problem is lack of Signals and Camos The thing is, I don't know what signals to use in combination. Putting regular XP signals with freeXP signals help? and the special signals like dragons and hydra types. I usually use them on my tier 9 premiums to gain commander XP and credits. Using them in operations looks like a waste for me.. If somebody writes a clear strategy for FreeXP farming, people who needs that may use it. I frankly Don't care about freeXP farming, It slowly builds up.. I use them sometimes for skipping ships, or buying ships. I have kron and musa, and I skipped Monarch and neptune entirely. I can get enough FXP for myself cause I don't care how fast I get :) 1 minute ago, Boris_MNE said: I am fairly sure there exist mod to lock your free expirience so you can't use it.

YES stick as much Xp on the ship as you can while sticking as much FXP on as you can but priorize XP over FXP if its about the same magnitude of bonus (ofc choose 777% FXp over 100% XP) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[OM] belalugosisdead Players 1,038 posts 27,779 battles Report post #16 Posted March 7, 2019 I collected the Million in two month. But i dont have much ships to grind. I used free XP in the past for getting some modules(B Hull etc), but not for skipping complete ships. That is not a good thing to Rush Up. And it safes free XP.

I think the best combo is: Mosaic or Spring Sky camo + the special signals (Hydra and such) + Premium acc (ofc) and if its 100% or even 200% daily win bonus better yet. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[FIFO] ilhilh [FIFO] Beta Tester 2,451 posts 7,514 battles Report post #20 Posted March 7, 2019 I'm about to top 1 mil free XP again. This is after buying Alaska last week. I have been fully upgrading ships when I buy them (and I have bought 13-14 new ships since 0.8.0 hit all at tiers 7-9) and yet still it jumps up. I'm soon going to start investing free XP into captains to boost a few of those up to competitive levels. As others have said, never use free XP to skip ships - only use them to unlock things like the new hull, guns and perhaps range. Often things like the propulsion/torps can be ground out at your leisure but it is always worth reading up on a ship to work out a priority order for the upgrades and which ones are more essential. Skipping ships is a bad idea for many reasons. Sure, some ships are lacklustre, but often they will teach you lessons about that ship line that will help you as you progress to the higher tiers - if you don't learn these lessons in lower tiers you will find it more punishing the further up the line you get.

Clearly OP can learn from it.. and me... The best you can do is: Take an operation you can reliably win, and your best ship for it Stock up on special signals and best possible camos -- when you use them, use a FULL set best optimized for FreeXP gains. Otherwise don't touch them. Back last autumn, when we got the annual reward sets of special signals, I grinded the Kronshtadt in about one week, playing the Sims in Operation Dynamo. I could reliably grind about 50k FreeXP in one hour. It felt ... stupidly easy. Also if you always pick the "resource" as your daily container, I feel like it really speeds up your baseline FreeXP gains. You get straight FreeXP (in batches of 500) and a pretty steady supply of XP and FreeXP signals. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[DC_DK] hgbn_dk Players 3,193 posts 39,101 battles Report post #25 Posted March 7, 2019 Sat on 3.700.000 the day Alaska went live. Have all the free xp boats. Still got just short of 2.450.000. My current policy is to use Free XP only on upgrades and never skip a ship. I used operation Cherry Blossom, the special flags and camo's saved for same purpose.
