I'm placing this first as it can't be emphasized enough: develop, develop, develop.  You can begin developing good stuff at a low HQ of 20-30 and there's no reason why you shouldn't start early.  A lot of events have Line of Sight (LoS) checks which are highly equipment based.  Your carrier's default planes are also pretty crappy and can receive a massive upgrade with developed planes.  Developing equipment will help you succeed in events and sorties so there's no reason why you shouldn't start now.  The last thing you need to happen during an event is realizing that you are short X item and are burning resources developing an item that only has a 2% success chance.  Following is a list of items that you should have developed before going into an event.  You can research recipes [[Development|here.]]

|The [[Type 3 Shell]] or Sanshiki a required staple now that there are installation type bosses.  These land based enemies are immune to torpedos (but not torpedo bombers) and will take mostly scratch damage from your ships.  The [[Type 3 Shell]] can be equipped on your BB/CA and will allow those ships to do increased damage to defeat these bosses.

|The [[Saiun (Iridescent Cloud)]] is used to prevent Red-T engagements which make it harder to S rank a boss.  They also provide 9 LoS which is doubled in LoS calculations.  Event maps are almost guaranteed to have LoS checks along the way and these will help you to meet those checks.

|Not to be confused with the [[Type 0 Recon Seaplane]] which you have a million of, the [[Type 0 Observation Seaplane]] has better stats and is cheap to make, but is very rare.  Besides the bonus stats, the +1 to LoS translates to +2 LoS in the LoS calculations.  The more LoS the better when it comes to meeting LoS requirements during events.
