There was one mural featuring solar eclipse...

 

These murals atleast seem to have a purpose this time.

 

 

Of those 4 missing missions 2 are confirmed daily commision related, thus I need patience for them.

The other 2 are hopefully connected to the new island

Meanwhile I've got there

good and bad news is, majority of chests there are furniture ones which seem to respawn daily, at least number of them did so on day two. So getting 100% probably will have to wait till tomorrow.

Ohh I that know too well.

 

I assume you're properly miss the same chest I'm missing,  since I walked over the island 3 times before finding the chest that made my map 100%

[Zemeritt]

Regarding the AL update.

Guess you can now "print" money if you can auto 12-4. Around 2.5-3k credits per run accumulate something surprisingly fast.

 

 

Regarding Genshin. Did the last AR increase and bumbed up to lvl 55 immediatly.

Now I serioulsy have to improve my unit and equipment. The only characters around lvl 80 are Ei, Beidou and Rosaria

And the best part is, the more oil inefficient your fleet is, the more coins you earn!

It's genius, I tell you, genius!

I actually have very little issue just using Alabama/Illustrious/Perseus-NingHai/Seattle/YatSen for mob and NJ/Shinano/ArkRoyal-Azuma/SanDiego/Kashino for boss on 13-4 now, as I'm basically being rewarded for how many SRs and URs I'm throwing at the map. (Peeps who are paying attention will notice that my fleets are only a little bit different from the last time I posted them, oh and I already have Dewey from 13-3 hence why I'm grinding 13-4)

I was one chest away from 100%, first furniture one I've opened gave me 100% clear on Tsurumi. Also story of the island is creepy, and the good kind of creepy.

I might bump Diluc and Qiqi to lv80a6, they are surprisingly likeable to play and latter comes in handy when... interacting with magic doggos

I meant 13-4 in my post.

Yes. So the overtuned fleets are making sense now.

So me running Ticonderoga/Independence(Retro)/Perseus-HelenaMETA/SanDiego(Retro)/Seattle and NJ/Georgia/Essex-Azuma/Helena(Retro)/Baltimore doesn't feel that wasteful anymore.

New Orleans looks like YD/Orangemaru creation.

Edit: lol  I just checked and it turns out YD actually drew her.

[WWDragon]

I didnt thought it was New Orleans because the turrets arent like the others of the class in the game, they looked to me more of battleship type guns and I thought it was one of the Alaskas. But apparently it is so I was wrong.

I've expected her to be Des Moines, given those feed chutes (brass/yellow bits) are used to protect ammo belts and her design is way too modern, compared to existing Nope Orleans

Most of them are the 3 lost at Savo, which could explain their older rigging.

Only Minneapolis and SanFran were modernized. And they already use different rigging to the other 3.

Guess it'll be the 4th artist wroking on this class, explaining the difference.

Although she matches more with the more recent EU ship designs.

Regarding the turrets, the presence of side rangefinders disqualified Des Moines, and that of a single periscope on the right at the back of the turret roof disqualifies everything else, Alaska included (every later model had either two periscopes at the back, or 4 small ones at the front like on Baltimore ; Tuscaloosa excepted, her strange triple turrets design having no periscope on the roof at all. I'm not sure how that works).

The periscope is clearly visible on the second turret from the right, since it's hidden by text on the other two.

The only regret I see there is giving her such terrible equipment.

(Well, being serious for a moment: the twin 410mm is actually a pretty good early game BB gun, although the triple 406mm is better overall)

There is another UR going to construction in 2021 and I dropped down to less that 100 cubes, granted Gridman collab is going to come first (unless the UR is there, that I doubt because holy crap, that would be really bad) so I can potential recover to 400 before that hits.

 

If not, Shimmering Waves despair part II.

 

I did wanted Amagi (and Tosa) but I was also gambling for Nagato .... ended up getting PoW.

That is what I had available.

 

Thought about the 410mm Kai that was actually her real gun but I didnt see the point, might do it when I actually get her to lv80s and have nothing else, Suruga have the best one I have that is the Prototype 410mm. I could craft the golden 410mm type 3 shells but ... I get rid of those types when I spot then in the depot.

 

Edit: Also .. I can build Anchorage now ... I cannot build anything else in P4, P3 and only Kitakaze in P2. I only have 250 IB fleet points.

Experienced players will always agree that it's typically not worth splurging on the permanent pools.

This addage is always true:

"You will get all the ships, eventually."

Just spend the minimum you need every day (my strategy used to be 4 builds on Monday, followed by 1 build every day the rest of the week to get the "10 builds" weekly naturally on Sunday - but this obviously no longer applies since the weekly missions revamp). If you have patience, you will get all the ships eventually.

 

Also, I highly doubt Manjuu/Yostar are going to do anything as foolish as collab URs. That would be a surefire way to piss off the entire community.

So far, it seems they've hit their stride with releasing collab characters that are good in specific niches, without being meta-defining (Honoka and Iori are healer BBs, Ritsuko is a munitions ship with medium armour and an impressive firepower self-buff).

And I anticipated that was a case, hence the second part where I confirmed that at least her main gun was a good budget choice.

From what I read on the wiki, it looks identical to the basic purple 410mm twin but with a slightly better reload. Not enough to squeeze in any additional shots in 60s, but you could get it for barrage timing for a ship that needs to fire before the others (like DoY). Also note that there is purple twin AP BB gun in the USN tech line, which could be useful if you need to shoot some heavy armour targets.

Suruga is an odd choice, from what I understand she's not all that good. Unless she's your waifu, in which case; understandable, carry on.

I take it you mean the Sanshikidan shells 410mm gold? I have one of those at +10 just for memes and because I had resources to spare. I was hoping the shell fragments would also look like whatever gear skin I had equipped, but sadly they don't.

Anchorage is very worth it. Because she has a smokescreen, she's actually tankier than Roon (in fact, she's comparable to Aegir in terms of tank - Aegir has obvious firepower advantage, though).

I personally like Kitakaze as a solo farm ship. She has some pretty dangerous firepower for a DD (comparable to Drake, although she's squishier than the CA), just note that the Battle-class DD gun from PR3 is BIS for her, despite her efficiency bonus for IJN guns (although we're talking a difference of something like 9%, so only for real tryhards). Go for her if you want to, but she's not recommended over other PRs.

Just note that, unlike PR1, you actually need to farm blueprints from research in order to bring PR2/4 ships up to par.

If you want to boost your IB fleet points, you could try spending your EXP packs on them and getting them all up to lvl120 for extra fleet tech bonuses (start with commons, as they will be the cheapest to lmb and ascend). Ofcourse, that's just if you're desperate for more choice in PR ships to grind out or you're a wehraboo like @Zemeritt, so I wouldn't recommend spending your resources on this. (note that you get fleet tech points for 3 things: aquiring a ship for the first time, max limit breaking a ship and getting them to lvl120) (second note: if you max limit break the koenigsberg-class you also unlock Leipzeig, who is actually pretty good if you retrofit her)

Its rate up, I needed a excuse to pull and in order for then to show up on Event those ships have to be the right type, if there is no Even battleships then there is no chance to get then.

She is was my first SR or one of the first ones I got since I start playing when Swirling Cherry Blossoms rerun started, Ryuuhou and Shirayuki were the ones I didnt get.

I wasnt aware of that because I never played Crosswave until I did her Secretary quest, makes me feel like oathing her because of this ...

Yep, could craft it on the depot but its still 2000 gold.

I read that and there is nothing stopping me from doing that since I am slowly switching to a EU Vanguard, I was aiming for FdG (that already have 130+ blueprints) but she needs I think 600 IB to unlock and since I am leveling Yuudachi I have Ibuki active, I didnt even had Kitakami until I did the rate up pulls.

Yes, the coins only works for PR1 for now, this is part of why I was aiming for FdG as she have a lot of blurprints already.

My Iron blood fleet is this one ...

Spoiler

 

 

 

I prioritized refitting Helena (that is mostly done, only her retrofit skill remains) and San Diego, Helena wasnt that bad and San Diego at least its not the blueprint eating monster that Warsprite retrofit is, at least there arent many BB retrofits and in fact I have all currently possible BB retrofits but havent really done any besides Yamashiro because dat aft.

 

I was grinding the Ugly Sisters and Admiral Flat but then the event hit and I had to stop, might switch to try it again.

Anyone else finished the Tsurumi Island quest today?

Fighting the Thunderbird in the small area was rather annoying for me.

As for the story: A real nice one. I just wonder if Ruu was also a ghost, since he was sacrificed, wasn't he?

 

Also all the other ghosts after you've finished the quest: Awesome.
