Improvements are upgrades to equipment that increase their performance or upgrade them to better versions. Improvements are done in [[Akashi's Improvement Arsenal]], requiring [[Akashi]]. Improvement Materials {{IM}} are notably used for improvements.
 +
*''See the full list of improvable equipment [[:Category:Improvable Equipment|here]] (this omit the equipment not improvable but obtainable already improved) .
 +
*''See the full list of ship Helpers [[Improvement/Helper|here]].
 +
*''For a comprehensive list of improvements, please refer to [https://akashi-list.me/ Akashi-List] or the List of Improvements.''
 +
 
 +
=Overview=
 +
# Improvement levels are displayed beside equipment names.
 +
#* They run from {{Star}}'''+1''' to {{MaxStar}} (+10).
 +
# Improvement bonuses are '''hidden'''. The increase in stats is not reflected on ship girls' stat cards.
 +
#* This means they do not count for [[Support Expedition]]s or for reaching certain thresholds like for [[OASW]].
 +
#* Those bonuses work to some extent to reach regular [[Expeditions]] thresholds.
 +
#* Some improvements on equipment can add some additional [[#Visible Fit Bonuses|Visible Fit Bonuses]].
 +
#** This works on an equipment-to-equipment and ship-to-ship basis with no general rule.
 +
# Equipped equipment cannot be improved.
 +
#* There is an option to unequip the equipment from the improvement list.
 +
# Equipment must be unlocked in order to be upgraded to a better version.
 +
# Improvements have a chance to fail. Please see [[#Improvement Success Rates|below]].
 +
#* '''Materials ({{DM}}{{IM}}) and any fodder equipment are still lost on failure.'''
 +
#** [[Item]]s are not lost.
 +
#* The equipment being improved is never lost.
 +
#* It is '''recommended''' to use the guaranteed improvement toggle when dealing with expensive improvements and/or rare fodder at {{Star}}'''+6''' and beyond.
 +
#* [[Akashi Kai]] has a higher success rate than her base version.
 +
# Improved equipment cannot be used as fodder.
 +
# Certain conversion quests like '''{{Q|F13}}''', '''{{Q|F14}}''', '''{{Q|F15}}''', '''{{Q|F19}}''', {{Q|Fm1}}, and {{Q|F24}} to {{Q|F30}}, that do not require improved equipment, will carry over any {{Star}} to the upgraded equipment.
 +
#* This is currently the '''only''' way to obtain improved versions of the {{Equipment/Link|Tenzan Model 12 (Tomonaga Squadron)}}, {{Equipment/Link|Suisei (Egusa Squadron)}} & {{Equipment/Link|Reppuu (601 Air Group)}} (unimprovable otherwise).
 +
# Certain conversion quests like {{Q|F62}}, {{Q|F89}}, {{Q|F70}}, and {{Q|F107}}, allow to use improved equipment, but any {{Star}} are lost during conversion.
 +
 
 +
=Improvement Success Rates=
 +
Akashi's level does not affect improvement rates. However, her remodel status does. It is '''highly recommended''' that she be remodeled to Kai as soon as possible, to maximize improvement success rates. The data below is sourced from KanColle Kai. <!--Note that the browser version has a '''small chance of failure''' even when the listed rate is 100%.--><!--NO SOURCE-->

=Improvement Bonuses=
 +
The bonus stats gained from improvement will vary depending on the type of equipment as well as the stat itself.
 +
*Most improved stats will come as decimal numbers due to the use as base decimals and how [[wikipedia:Square root|square roots]] work.
 +
*It is important to note that '''decimals must not be discarded in favor of whole numbers''', as stats will be multiplied by various formulas anyway, to finally be rounded down/up.
 +
*''For calculated improvment bonuses, please refer to the [[Improvement/Categories|Categories Charts]] or [[Improvement/Reference_Charts|Reference Charts]].''
 +
 
 +
The improvement effects are unknown for some equipment types/cases.
 +
 
 +
==Square Rooted Bonus==
 +
Most bonuses are all a function of the square root of the improvement level. The bonus can be calculated by:
 +
{|style="padding:10px; margin:20px; border:1px solid orange; border-radius:10px"
 +
|valign="center"|  <math>\text{Bonus}_\text{stat} = \sum_{\text{All equips}} \text{Mod}_\text{equip} \sqrt{\bigstar}</math>
 +
|}
 +
 
 +
;With
 +
* <math>\bigstar</math> is the improvement level of the equipment.
 +
* <math>\text{Mod}_\text{equip}</math> is the equipment modifier for that stat. Please refer to the table below for details.

Improvements are upgrades to equipment that increase their performance or upgrade them to better versions. Improvements are done in Akashi's Improvement Arsenal, requiring Akashi. Improvement Materials Improvement material are notably used for improvements.

  • See the full list of improvable equipment here (this omit the equipment not improvable but obtainable already improved) .
  • See the full list of ship Helpers here.
  • For a comprehensive list of improvements, please refer to Akashi-List or the List of Improvements.

Overview

  1. Improvement levels are displayed beside equipment names.
    • They run from Improved+1 to Max-Improved (+10).
  2. Improvement bonuses are hidden. The increase in stats is not reflected on ship girls' stat cards.
    • This means they do not count for Support Expeditions or for reaching certain thresholds like for OASW.
    • Those bonuses work to some extent to reach regular Expeditions thresholds.
    • Some improvements on equipment can add some additional Visible Fit Bonuses.
      • This works on an equipment-to-equipment and ship-to-ship basis with no general rule.
  3. Equipped equipment cannot be improved.
    • There is an option to unequip the equipment from the improvement list.
  4. Equipment must be unlocked in order to be upgraded to a better version.
  5. Improvements have a chance to fail. Please see below.
    • Materials (Development materialImprovement material) and any fodder equipment are still lost on failure.
    • The equipment being improved is never lost.
    • It is recommended to use the guaranteed improvement toggle when dealing with expensive improvements and/or rare fodder at Improved+6 and beyond.
    • Akashi Kai has a higher success rate than her base version.
  6. Improved equipment cannot be used as fodder.
  7. Certain conversion quests like F13, F14, F15, F19, Fm1, and F24 to F30, that do not require improved equipment, will carry over any Improved to the upgraded equipment.
  8. Certain conversion quests like F62, F89, F70, and F107, allow to use improved equipment, but any Improved are lost during conversion.

Improvement Success Rates

Akashi's level does not affect improvement rates. However, her remodel status does. It is highly recommended that she be remodeled to Kai as soon as possible, to maximize improvement success rates. The data below is sourced from KanColle Kai.

Modification Level 1★ 2★ 3★ 4★ 5★ 6★ 7★ 8★ 9★ Max★ Upgrade
Akashi 100% 100% 100% 100% 95% 90% 80% 77% 72% 60% 50%
Akashi Kai 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 95% 90% 82% 77% 67% 62%

Improvement Bonuses

The bonus stats gained from improvement will vary depending on the type of equipment as well as the stat itself.

  • Most improved stats will come as decimal numbers due to the use as base decimals and how square roots work.
  • It is important to note that decimals must not be discarded in favor of whole numbers, as stats will be multiplied by various formulas anyway, to finally be rounded down/up.
  • For calculated improvment bonuses, please refer to the Categories Charts or Reference Charts.

The improvement effects are unknown for some equipment types/cases.

Square Rooted Bonus

Most bonuses are all a function of the square root of the improvement level. The bonus can be calculated by:

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Bonus}_\text{stat} = \sum_{\text{All equips}} \text{Mod}_\text{equip} \sqrt{\bigstar} }[/math]
With
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \bigstar }[/math] is the improvement level of the equipment.
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{equip} }[/math] is the equipment modifier for that stat. Please refer to the table below for details.

With
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \bigstar }[/math] is the improvement level of the equipment.

  4. ↑ Morale gains might be affected.
  • So far, Ration OnigiriCombat Ration improvement only serves to upgrade into Special OnigiriCombat Ration (Special Onigiri).
    • Since improving a Combat RationCombat Ration up to +6★ cost 0 screw, it is possible to farm some screw by upgrading a ration once a day while doing quest Fd6.

Myths

With
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Bonus}_\text{Star} }[/math] the total bonus resource gain bonus for the fleet,
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{N}_\text{Type} }[/math] the number of craft of a given type (A1 to A6),

  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Star Bonus}_\text{Type} }[/math] the bonus given by stars of each type.

  1. ↑ If the total value has a decimal, only the rounded-down value is applied.
  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 Exact values an behaviors still under investigation
  3. ↑ Those bonuses only appear if any type from A1 to A8 is equipped in the fleet.
