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,
• Mizuho & Kamoi for HP 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".

Recomanded Fleet

• 1 (F)BB(V), 3 CVL, 2 CAV/AV
• Route = B D H J
• Drop rate: 2.5 %

• Node H flagship is a soft-skin installation, requiring geras 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

Recomanded Fleet

• 1-2 (F)BB(V), 2-3 CV(B), 2 CAV/AV (Fast+)
• Route = Random:

  A D H T

  C D H T

• Drop rate: 2.0 %

• All ships should be of the Speed Groups Fast/Slow A, in order to become Fast+ with only a single +13 Boiler at 7+ .
• The CAV/AV should be preferably Mogami-class Kai Ni Toku
  .

6-2

Recomanded Fleet

• 1 (F)BB(V), 2 CAV/AV, 2 DD
• Route = C E J K
• Drop rate: 2.0 %

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

Mizuho & Kamoi

Mizuho & Kamoi can be used to modernize the HP of certain ships.

For more information on this topic, see Mizuho & Kamoi modding.

LSC

Both Mizuho and Kamoi can be crafted via LSC only, but this method is not advised.

For more information on this topic, see Mizuho & Kamoi crafting.

Sorties

Mizuho is a permanent drop on 7-2, 5-3, and 6-4 only, with only the fist being reasonably farmable.

Kamoi is a permanent drop on 7-4 only.

Both are also regular limited time drops.

7-2

Recommended Fleet

• 1 FBB, 1 CV, 1 CVL, 1 CAV, 2 DD (Fast)
• Route = B C D I M
• Drop rate: 2.2 %

7-4

7-4 is a good place to both farm Kamoi and DE.

Recommended Fleet

• 1 BBV, 1 CVL, 1 CL, 3 DD
• Route = A B E J L P
• LBAS Node P: Range = 2
• Drop rate: 5.7 %

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.

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.

Recommended Fleet

• 1 BBV, 1 CVL, 1 CL, 3 DD
• Route = A B E J L P
• LBAS Node P: Range = 2
