Help:Ship Farming

This article aims to provide advice on the better ways to farm for certain ships in order to use them as Modernization fodder. Those ships notably include:

• Maruyu for luck modding
• DE for HP/ASW/Luck modding

Maruyu

Maruyu Kai is the best way to modernize reliably the luck of any ship in the game.

For more information on this topic, see Maruyu modding.

LSC

Maruyu is a reliable LSC craft, being obtained by using the minimum amount of resources.

• She gets even better crafting rates by crafting her with as few "free docks" as possible.
• It is advised to attempt such craft only when reaching the resource caps, to avoid wasting any resource gain.

Maruyu
					Note
1500	1500	2000	1000	1	Recommended recipe
Notes Unlike other recipes, the number of free docks should be minimum (ideally 1).

Sorties

Dropping Maruyuu is usually the best way to farm her, as it is cheaper than doing LSC crafts.

3-5

3-5 is the best place to farm Maruyuu, being cheaper and faster. The main downside is the moral drain resulting in ending the sortie on an "off-route node".

• It is important to fist clear the map in order to have the proper drop rate.

Recommended Fleet

• 1 (F)BB(V), 3 CVL, 2 CAV/AV
• Route = B D H J

Drop rate:

• If HQ ≤ 84: 0 %
• If if HQ ≥ 85, LD & post clear: 2.5 %
• If if HQ ≥ 85, pre-LD:
  • 1.4 % (on the 2 Ro-class LM formation)
  • 0 % (on the 5 Escort Fortress formations)

Tips

• Node H flagship is a soft-skin installation, requiring gears such as AA Shells and Landing Equipment.
• It is recommended to bring a Nelson-class to utilize her touch.
• The CAV/AV should be preferably Mogami-class Kai Ni Toku
  .
• As the final node is a resource node, it is possible to continue the sortie even when being taiha on H.
• The uses of Ka-Tsu tanks
  is recommended in order to boost the ammo gain on the final node, raising the base 50 gain to 130 when using 2 kat-su+ka-tsu kai pairs (+1~10 gain when improved).

4-5

Recommended Fleet

• 1-2 (F)BB(V)/CV(B), 1 CL, 3 DD
• Route = Random:

  A D H T

  C D H T

Drop rate:

• If HQ ≥ 111, LD only OR HQ ≤ 110 and the boss comp DOES NOT have 2 Transport Wa-class Elite:
  • If owning 0 Maruyu: 3.0 %
  • If owning 1+ Maruyu: 1.75 %
• If HQ ≤ 110, LD only and the boss comp has 2 Transport Wa-class Elite OR pre-LD and post clear only (all HQ levels):
  • If owning 0 Maruyu: 2.0 %
  • If owning 1+ Maruyu: 0.75 %

6-2

Recommended Fleet

• 1 (F)BB(V), 2 CAV/AV, 2 DD
• Route = C E J K

Drop rate: 2.0 %

Tips

• It is advised to bring a Nelson-class to utilize her touch.
• The CAV/AV should be preferably Mogami-class Kai Ni Toku
  .

DE

DE are the best way to modernize the HP of any ship in the game, as well as the only way to modernize ASW and a good way to modernize Luck.

For more information on this topic, see DE modding.

Sorties

DE can only be obtained via drops, and only limited time drops so far, thus, there is almost no reliable way to farm them.

DE Drop Behaviors

Unlike any other ship type in the game, DE are subject to unique drop cap behavior, similar to overfishing. To farm for them efficiently, knowing how their drop mechanic works is important.

• Having more than 3 duplicate of a certain DE will decrease its rate on all maps.
• Using 10+ times a certain DE as fodder will start introducing the chance of decreasing its rate on all maps, as seen in map 1-3, so it's safe to assume the same counter is applied for map 7-4.

For more information on this topic, see Overfishing Cap.

7-4

So far, only 7-4 has a constant set of DE drops, being a reliable farm location.

Drop rate: The drop rate of all DEs here change depends on how many of their copies you currently own and how many of them have been removed from your base. To check the drop rate, please refer to KcNav and PoiDB.

Recommended Fleet

• Hyuuga Kai Ni, Zuihou Kai Ni B/Ryuuhou Kai Ni E, 1 CL/CA(V), 3 DD
• Route = A B E J L P
• LBAS Node P: Range = 2
