Akashi's Improvement Arsenal
- This system is made for Akashi and Akashi Kai. Now if you have her as your secretary ship, you will be able to use Akashi's Improvement Arsenal.(Tip: At the home screen, mouseover the factory icon and wait for the Improvement factory icon to pop out - don't click on the factory icon)
- To use this new factory, you need Improvement Materials. (icon is a screw)
- You can get them from Quest, or exchange them w/ medals (4 materials per medal), some new quests will have their reward as Improvement Materials.
- You can also buy Improvement Materials from the in-game cash shop, the price is 700 DMM points for 10 Materials.
- To improve your current equipment, you will need resources, development materials and Improvement Materials. The equipment that has been improved will have a ★ beside them. If the improvement level is low, then you will have a higher chance of success, and vice versa.
- If you reach the maximum improvement level of your equipment, you can upgrade/renewyour equipment into a better, and a higher ranked one. However, your improvement level will be wiped once you do this. Also, if the new equipment after renewing is something you can develop from the normal factory, the improvement level will automatically be +3★.
- After you have reached +6 for any equipment improvement, you will have to spent a certain amount of unimproved equipment that have the same type (name) in order to gain +7 up to +10 ★.
- Tips from Official Twitter:
- For everyday in the week, the equipment you can improve will differ. changes midnight JST (but a few minutes late)
- And, when Akashi is at your first slot, certain ship girls in the second slot will bring changes to the equipment you can improve.
- If you want to improve a equipment with a high improvement level, Akashi Kai has a higher success rate than Akashi herself.
- More info: There's no visible stat difference between a +0 equipment and a +10. But you can renew a +10 equipment for a better one only if there is a better variant existing in the latest game patch.
- If you fail, you lose the resources, DevMats and ImproveMats. Your equipment will remain as it is, and will not be lost or weakened. There is a "guaranteed improvement" slider that increases the DevMat and ImprovMat cost.
- Japanese sources are currently studying the hidden effect of stars (see http://akankore.doorblog.jp/archives/40926394.html updated as of 10/31)
- 1-3 stars: +1 bonus to shelling/torpedo/anti-sub damage
- 4-8 stars: +2 bonus to shelling/torpedo/anti-sub damage
- 9-10 stars: +3 bonus to shelling/torpedo/anti-sub damage

- She also has two separate sprites for her basic and Kai forms, reflecting her headband and heftier rigging. See here.
