I already have Dante Alighieri thanks to Prime Gaming. Does that mean I get to skip the whole first stage of Consecutive Bundles?

Unfortunately not. You have to unlock that bundle regardless if you have Dante or not. You will be credited with compensation for the ship in credits, the cost of the ship modules, as well as a commander with 3 skill points and a slot in the Port.

another prime example of wg/lesta generosity 

perhaps you could throw in some 10k credits to sweeten the deal

and this 3 point captain - amazing ...

DONT  PLAY  BB

[wot_2016_gunner]

Btw, i hate the fact that the dirctives give you 9.5k tokens + 500 for free; which is a total of 10k, buuuuuuuuuuut, if you open your wallter or get your credit card... boom 38.8k tokens, almost 4 times as mcuh + Lepanto

[wot_2016_gunner]

@Yamashiro42 the second infograph tells you that by completing the first chaing you have enought to get Dante, by completing the second you  will have enought to get Cavour and the third Doria. on the left of the arrows there's what you get from the directives, on the right what you can get in the armoury

Yeah, I noticed that after posting my question. Thanks

 

[Maris_Piper]

Not saying much as my in game RNG is really dire atm, but has WG got an internal competition going for the most Bat Ship Crazy Camo FGS?

[ImLate]

Even if we completed all directives, we still have to buy 70k+ dubs for the random bundles in order to obtain the C. Colombo permanent camouflage, that's beyond insane, who came up with the price?

Don't buy it then. Just be happy that there are whales willing to finance the game in return for cosmetic items instead of game-breaking ships or captains and WG has the decency to appeal to them instead of those who would P2W (on this occasion).

Well, if you would calculate that, you would open all Random bundles in total you would receive: Lepanto in Early Access, 10 skills commander, 64 special signals, 288 camos, 38 400 coal, 96 000 XP.

Also considering you would get all rewards from Free Bundles, combat mission chain, chain from streams, you would actually get also:

Dante Alighieri, Cavour, Andrea Doria, Caracciolo, Vittorio Veneto, permacamos for Caracciolo, Veneto, Lepanto and Colombo, 4 port slots, 2x 3 skill points commander, one 6point commander and another 10point commander, 78 camos, 14 signals, 180 special signals and 9 mil credits and I almost forgot about 2 camos, 6 signals, 1 day of premium and 50 doubloons from Free bundles.

 

It might sound expensive, but the value of all of that is much higher than those 70k+ dubloons.

[defender128]

So as someone before mentioned the amount of doubloons needed I did a quick maths.

 

If you obtain every possible free token, that is: Grind directives, collect all free bundles in armory, watch streams and do missions, use your recruitment points for 1k tokens. So 12.000 total tokens.

 

You still need 35.200 tokens. So you have to buy bundles. With the best RNG you need to buy 43 random bundles, which will cost you 64.500 doubloons. Which is around 212 €.

 

Yea you don't get just perma camos, you get:  

Permacamos for Andrea Doria, Caracciolo, Veneto, Lepanto and Colombo

Silver ships: Dante Alighieri, Cavour, Andrea Doria, Caracciolo, Veneto

Two 10 point commanders (plus one 6 point one and some 3-pointers lol)

~264 signals

~357 camos

38 400 coal

96 000 XP

9 mil credits

1 day of premium

4 port slots

50 doubloons

 

So if you would want all rewards on the list it will cost you 212€ at minimum. Don't forget, this is after you busted your [edited]grinding directives, missions, opened all free bundles. You are not guaranteed Lepanto since this is calculated as if you had the best RNG and got tokens in all bundles (no ship one). And you don't even get a Colombo either.

 

I just want to say that pricing combined with the levels of grinding has kind of gotten insane in this game.

[Gwynbleidd11]

So the modules will be research and mounted on these early access ships? Do we keep these modules researched after ships are release in later updates?

All modules are researched and ready to mount on each early access ship.

How did you get to that calculation? do the 16x mean that these are 16x more common to drop?

[Fastmotion]

Can you describe in more detail what happens if you win "IX Lepanto" from a Random Bundle?

Does it mean that all lower tier (1-8) ships from that line become automatically researched?

Quote

Random Bundles

Random bundles that can each be obtained for 1,500 Doubloons have been added to the "Italian Battleships: Part 1" section of the Armory. They have chances of dropping IX Lepanto plus a Commander with 10 skill points and a Port slot, Italian Tokens, and other rewards.

From past experience of these things, nope. You'll just have Lepanto with everything else still locked out.

[Sepulch]

At least before the answer has been no, you just have none of the earlier ships researched but you get the tier IX.

 

Edit - Oh damn I got ninja'd while typing q.q

Can you show us a screenshot from your own bank account proving that you bought 70,000 doubloons to take part in such a fantastic and profitable offer? 

It's a shame to miss such an opportunity, right?

You have been taking him seriously? Wow, you must be new here.

[HystericalAccuracy]

I hope you don´t feel like I am picking on you personally today @YabbaCoe but you are sharing statements in name of WG, so I answer to your messages. Because some of these statements baffle me.

In what world are five free in-game items worth

?

 

Even if we deduct 15.000 dbs for regular perma-camos T6-T10 it still is 181€ for free ships, some signals and 4 slots. Oh, and we get 50 dbs.

I don´t blame anyone, neither WG nor the payers (oh, typo). I just wonder and feel grateful (in advance) for every Colombo I will see on day 1, for supporting the

"fund for buying hamster-food".

 

I am looking forward to sail the Dante Alighieri in a few weeks 

[Fesvil]

Ahh I love this, AWESOME WG, really love it.. 

 

Keep these events coming, they are what drives this game to the shining gem it truly is.!!
