Large Ship Construction Recipe

This section is outdated and needs updating. Some recipes and percentages are missing and outdated. Potential misinformation. Those recipes are still viable.

Using any of the above mentioned Helper is either required or discouraged, depending on the targeted craft.

• When crafting a ship requiring a helper, then said helper is mandatory,
• However, when crafting any other ship, using those helpers will decrease the crafting rate of the targeted ship.

Notes

• Regarding the use of 1/20/100 Devmats:
  • The amount used affects the pool of craftable ships, with some ships only appearing with 20+ Devmats.
  • Using 100 Devmats does give better rates for some heavier ships, but the gain is often too marginal to justify this cost increase.
  • E.g.:
    • I-401 chances are improved with 1 dev mat.
    • Yamato appears with all dev mat inputs.
    • Bismarck and Musashi do not appear with 1 dev mat.
    • Aiming for Bismarck before Musashi can help save both resources and Devmats as Musashi can always appear from a Bismarck attempt, but not necessarily the other way around (if a German ship is not used).

Sources

• Based on Poi-Statistics and UnlockACGWebPro reports.
• Kancolle DB reports include all development materials and Secretary used. This is especially noticeable for BB recipes where the number of attempts with/without Z1/Z3 skew the results towards either Bismarck or Yamato-class significantly. However, since the data sets are still significantly less biased than wikiwiki reports, it gives a better idea of what to expect.
