6 x 250 steel.

8 phases from the starter pack + 18 phases from directives = 26 phases in total, of which you need 20 to complete the odin. That makes a difference of 6 remaining.

 

As you need 3500 doubloons anyway to get the Odin, you are paying 4500 doubloons for potential 1500 steel. If you don't miss any directive or mission that advances the shipyard.

You have to have Odin in your port to receive any steel.

in short: if you buy out straight away Odin that’ll cost you 34000 doubloons 

if you buy the starter pack (before you start to play after the updt goes live!) that’ll bring The cost down to 29000doubloons. After and only(!) after that you’ll get steel after each completed phase in the directives. Finally you can get 4500 doubloons if you playing thru all the directives.

While I expect this is true, it is not made very clear in the article:

Those who want to purchase the shipbuilding phases at a discount can obtain the Starter Pack, which includes the first eight shipbuilding phases, in exchange for 8,000 doubloons.

It says "the first 8 phases".

 

@MrConway@Crysantos: Could you clarify this? If you buy the starter pack, you only need to complete 12 shipbuilding phases (4 directives, according to the article) to get the Odin?

Well this is what WG are saying: Thouse who want to porchase the shipbuilding phases at a discount can obtain the Starter Pack, wich includes the first eight phases in exchange for 8000 doubloons. However you can only purchase it prior to the completing the first shipbuilding phase by other means. And further up they are  saying in the rules for the event and that is clear that stage 19 and 20 you have to use in total 3500 doubloons to complet.

It's such a pity that health pool nerf on the Odin makes the ship virtually impossible to play, especially when up-tiered.

And the reload on the main guns have been nerft too

In other words: 8000 dubloons for 8x250 steel ? Not bad ...

Nope. You have to buy out Odin on the 1st day to receive steel for the completed phase missions. Thats 34000 doubloons (or 29000 if you buy the starter pack before you start even playing) . Still you have to play thru all the directives. In return you’ll get 4500 steel by the end.

Clarification would do.

 

One could understand that Starter Pack gives 8 phases, 10 by his own grind and yet last 2 for 3500 dubs.

From the video it seems pretty clear that the last two phases are doubloons only, so even if you pay 8000 for the first 8, you'll still have to pay 3500 to complete the last two.

[ImLate]

I wanna know if I purchased the starter pack, is that mean the game will automatically complete some directives, or I can still earn phases in the first few directives?

Every stage is equal. you can obtain 18 out of directives. when you buy 8, you only need 12 more. But you will always have to buy two at least, if you want to grind you will want to grind all 18 from directives first to make sure you will get the discount before buying the two additional ones. The starter pack is restricted to the first 8, because it provides an discount on the eight stages you get. 

[ElectroSchnitzel]

 thought it was quite clear in this line:

In order to complete the 19th and 20th phases, apart from finishing all the event's Directives, you'll need to purchase any two shipbuilding phases by spending doubloons. It doesn't matter when you purchase these two phases: at the end of the building process or at any other time.

 

'any two' 

[CallicoJackRackham]

Will the missions actually be doable this time or will it be like with the Pay-to-Rico where only those who are in the top percentage of players AND who can dedicate entire days at a time to nothing but the game can complete them?

You can survive with a slow reload but trying to play a tier 8 BB with tier 5 hit pool in a tier 10 game won't be a fun experience

This is a t7 sharnhorst. (but i think sharnhorst is better )

I have had a quick look at the directives and phases some are that difficult only the best players will be able to complete and 1 in particular if you don't all ready have it you have to buy a ship to complete it, also when directive 6 opens some of the phases can be completed in scenario battles but guess what tier VII - X and on the current cycle the battle of the week will be tier VI .  If you were to pay for all the phases that's 29,000 doubloons for a heavy cruiser masquerading as a BB  while for 13,050 you can have Massachusetts.

I guess many player will buy odin bc it's a limited-time ship

yes but there are always easier tasks that require more grind

[androL7]

Wait wait, what is the price of the Odin with the so called "90% discount" ? 3500 dubs ? is that a joke ? Does that mean that the Odin  value is 35000 dubs ? Al other tier VIII premium BBs cost around 11-13k dubs,  how come this one is 3x times more expensive? So they can sell smoke with the "90% discount"???

90% discount should mean  1100-1300 dubs, or maybe around 4€

[Hanse77SWE]

The directive will give you up to 18 phases and you'll have to pay for at least two. The two you pay for can be the first two or the last two or anyone inbetween. 

[YabbaCoe]

To explain the situation a little, as you discussed it here.

It is said, that you need to spend doubloons to be able to finish phases 19 and 20 and it doesn't matter when you spend those doubloons.

 

So buying the starter pack you will unlock 8 phases and rest 12 "tokens" for phases you can earn in directives. Once you earn your "phase token" (it is madeup, I used it just for this explanation) it will be immediately used for unlocking another phase. So for example if you bought Starter Pack, phase 19 will be unlocked by a phase received from Directives.

Once you already got the Odin, another "phase token" received from Directives will be exchanged for 250 steel.

 

I hope it is more clear now

IS there a link to those directives? Can you post it?
