{{Main|Help:Ship Priority}}
The bare minimum fleet required to clear an event on Casual/Easy is '''7DD 1CL 3CA/V 4FBB 2CV 2CVL'''. This covers all [[Combined Fleet]] compositions but does not have the capacity to deal with ship locking. Thus if you intend to complete an event on Medium/Hard, you will either need substitutes or duplicates. Refer to the main article for more details on high-tier ship girls to help you determine who to focus on.
The bare minimum fleet required to clear an event will depend on the difficulties you chose as well as the length of the event. The bare minimum would be to have enough ships to fill the various [[Combined Fleet]] types, STF, CTF, and TCF, that you will meet in events, so about a dozen DDs, a dozen CL/CA(V), 1/2 a dozen BBs/CV(L)s and some auxiliary ships.
In higher difficulties, you will have to manage the [[Ship Locking]] to, requiring way more ships depending on the number of locks, approaching the 100 ships in the largest events.
You may also have to consider using "historical" or "regional" ships on certain events/maps, like European ships during European events.
Finally, regardless of the difficulty played, it is highly recommended to have all of your ships fully modernized and at their best remodel form available to you.

{{Main|Help:Equipment Setup|Help:Akashi Upgrades}}
To start off, you will want a core set of equipment that can be used across a wide variety of girls. Said equipment should also be upgraded if you can manage it. Utility and specialized equipment aren't strictly necessary until harder difficulties.
<tabber>
|-|Casual/Easy=
Key equipment should be upgraded at about '''★+1'''. Refer to the main article on Akashi Upgrades for priorities.
* {{GreenGunDP}} x6
* {{RedGunMedium}} x8
* {{RedGunHeavy}} x8-12 depending on your BBs
* Reconn {{Seaplane}} x8
* Bomber {{Seaplane}} x2
* {{SeaplaneFighter}} x2
* {{BluePlane}} x4
* {{RedPlane}} x4
* {{GreenPlane}} x8
* {{Land Based Attack Aircraft}} x6-8
** {{GreenPlane}}{{Interceptor Fighter}}{{Interceptor Fighter2}} x4 (6+ range for LBAS)
* [[Saiun]] {{YellowPlane}}
* {{RedAmmo}} x4
* {{GreenAmmo}} x3
* {{TorpedoWeapon}} x10
* {{TorpedoWeapon}} MidjetSub x2
* {{DepthCharge}} x4
* {{Sonar}} x2
* {{Radar}} x5
* {{Drum}} x10
|-|Medium=
Equipment should be upgraded at about '''★+1-4'''.
*You should focus on obtaining the same equipements as the casual/easy categories, eventually in higher '''quality''' and '''quantities'''.
You may also need some more specialized equipment:
* [[Type 98 Recon Seaplane (Night Scout)]] x1
* {{Searchlight}} x1
* {{StarShell}} x1
* {{SurfaceShipPersonnel}} x4
* {{Amphibious Tank}} x2
* {{LandingCraft}} x8 (both landing tanks and regular DLC)
|-|Hard=
Equipment should be upgraded at about '''★+4-6'''.
*You should focus on obtaining the same equipements as the previous categories, in way higher '''quality''' and '''quantities'''.
*You will also want some unique/high-end equipment from quests, remodels, ranking, and events.
*You can start expanding your equipment collection to include equipment with fit bonuses.
*Leveling dupe girls for rare equipment is also a good idea. In addition to most things under Medium difficulty, you may want:
You may also need some more specialized equipment:
*{{CommandFacility}} both for combined fleets and SF
*{{AviationPersonnel}} SCAMP & NOAP
*{{AntiGroundArtillery}} x8
*{{Turbine}} enough to make a fleet Fast+
*{{EmergencyRepair}} x10 (just as guaranties more than actual nececities)

{{Main|Help:Resource Farming}}
As a general rule, you do not need a stockpile of primary resources ({{Fuel}}{{Ammo}}{{Steel}}{{Bauxite}}) in order to clear the event. Event periods are long enough to clear on your intended difficulty with natural regeneration. Stockpiling primary resources is still a good idea if you intend to do a lot of farming for rare event-only girls. Fuel and steel will be the most used resource followed by ammo. Bauxite use can vary wildly depending on enemy anti-air strength and LBAS utilization. It is also necessary for frontlining, but that is beyond the scope of this article. '''Therefore, you should not neglect leveling your girls and improving your equipment to stockpile.'''
You will need a decent stockpile of buckets {{IR}} and flamethrowers {{IC}}. These resources are used liberally throughout the event and are relatively difficult to get in mass quantity during the limited event period.
Refer to the main article on resource farming for details on how you go about farming the necessary resources.
The minimum recommended stockpiles noted in this section are for '''clearing and farming a large-scale event'''. This is just the worst-case scenario, smaller-scale events will use fewer resources. Resource use can also vary depending on the preparedness of your fleet. Attempting to "punch above your weight" can result in a significantly higher resource drain. In addition, it is important to note that farming for returning event girls can result in much greater resource loss depending on drop luck.

=Information Sources=
=Information Sources=
It is not necessary to know the primary sources of event information. Nearly all sources require knowing Japanese in order to get anything out of it. The staff on the Wiki will be compiling information on the sandbox page for each event map.
An example link is: https://en.kancollewiki.net/Sandbox/Summer_2019_E-1. Simply change the event name and map to the appropriate event.
'''Disclaimer: Information on sandbox pages is constantly in flux as more information becomes known. Keep an eye on the main event page for the completed map guides.'''
