@@gabe75001 Enterprise? New Jersey? Yorktown II? Much better options because consistency beats RNG every time, and with oil cost limits, their oil cost isn't even a factor.
I've enjoyed azur lane and its been a great game for farming on stream. I started just before jerseys rerun and your vids have helped alot! especially updating guides ect. I'm proof newer players are still coming to azur lane! keep killing it dude!
Funny enough, I'm chose to start grinding Shimanto first, and when you're giving an example on who you picked for bonus exp, you chose the exact 3 characters I've been using the whole time lol.
Got Kearsarge today myself, though it’ll be a while till I get anywhere near enough prints to develop her since I’m still a few prints short on the PR5 UR gun 💀Need to prioritize that first.
I grind in 13-4 with NJ(Flag), YT2, Enty and Jeanne in 1st Fleet. Essex(Flag), Tichonderoga, Georgia and Anchorage in 2nd Fleet. I finished farming 2 days ago, 2.4 Million Exp is like nothing with the High Efficiency Logistics Plan cuz the Main Fleets get 10k(Medium Fleet)to 12k(Large Fleet) Exp per Fight and 15k Exp per Boss Fight
I can't highlight enough how much I agree with cog chips on world 12+ maps. You can and will blow through 10k chips very quickly when you are grinding, and 12.4 safe is pretty doable for any fleet with an average level of 100-105 as long as you bring 1-2 carriers or AA vanguards.
hi i just started AL again probably last week and just could not have time to played it,so is there any newest tips you could give? and i think the latest UR i get was kronshtadt, is she good? i havent built her yet though..
Do the Face Projects (D-Research) if you have coins, if you have surplus of cubes do H-Research. If you need a mix of gear and ship prints run the G-Research. If you have any questions ask ahead, LVL 135 SKK here :)
@@mino065 oh thank you, you reminded me! When I started I tuned out doing research tasks with cubes because I was building my stock pile and completely forgot I could use them to get prints with research. I was wondering how people didn’t spend years on these. Now that I have a surplus, I’ll be doing that. Need that Plymouth Dlvl
Is hindenburg bugged? 1290HP (cause dev lvl 5 HP) which is Base stats but my hindenburg is Lvl 125 LVL did not affect her HP, is that Normal for PR? If yes, I really have NEVER noticed
@@dwoodfolk89 just saw it cause late Yeah it was a bug and yes, you can get the Stats from dev levels but you only reach 3k hp or something. Definitely not what a DR Heavy Cruiser would have :D
Nice tips, thanks! I've been mostly doing what you suggested but I'm not in a big rush because the prints are going to take a long time to accumulate. Also, having to spend 60K for Kearsarge is a big hit for me as well right before the re-run collab.
Rushing PR Exp is not that important. Most ships are not usable until they get enough Blueprints, and I usually unlock all the ships long before I get enough prints.
its worth it for sure if you have enough time to run auto in background. Just started the grind for her and its a lot more oil efficient that way and clear time isnt much different with enty and yk2 in backline
Pick backliners that don't deal that much damage but tanky enough to survive. A good idea is to use healers that don't deal direct damage like Akashi and Vestal, but have a BB that can protect the other backliners but won't deal too much damage to not steam MVP. Gangut is my go-to weak but survivable BB.
In the backline use Arizona with the confetti gun with +10 augment module, Vestal, Vestal META, Akashi and Shohou with weak gear. Iori Minase from The Idolmaster collab and Honoka from Venus Vacation collab also work, but Honoka has a barrage that might steal the MVP.
I use the PR grind as a reason to level up some stuff i dont use normaly, btw do the EXP count i get for 125 ships that already maxed exp? At the end of a battle they get +0 exp so i was wondering if the exp they woud get is put into PR?
Grinding Hindenburg at the moment.. had 2 full Iron Blood Fleets already prepared and now they can finally be of use...and on top of getting XP I can see how strong the fleets are. Can't wait to add Hindenburg and Schultz to it..just not sure who to take out haha.
“Bocchi the Battleship, setting sail.” [glitchy screaming] I’ve never gotten a PR/DR ship so fast. First day, and yet there already people in the comments. Either lag or a screwed up clock since my Kearsarge’s requirements unlocked 1.5 minutes late each day. Also, that’s incredibly lucky that you already have 31 prints. Since day 1, I prioritized PR6 drops on the prints settings, always went for research with guaranteed print drop, and always selected Kearsarge when she specifically showed up, no matter the cost, and even then I only had 13 prints🙃 Really hoping she ends up best girl
For people just beginning with PRs. Don't use your cubes and coins right before an event. You might regret it. Wait until you got everything you want from the event and then you can spend whatever you have left on PRs. PRs will always be there but event locked ships might take years to come back.
I have a lot of underleveled German ships to level, so I just throw them in 12-4, rinse repeat, Hindenburg's second part is almost finished got like 80%.
Just set your research priority to PR5 so you get more of those research to pop up, by the time I finished researching Brest, I had around 250 prints waiting for her this way. Also, I feel dumb for realising this after years of playing, but last year I had just figured out that the roman numerals at the top of the research projects coincide with the PR level the project is for 🤦🏾♂️ I never put 2 & 2 together, so yea look for all the projects with a V on them lol
Do you always grab the free weekly 4k oil? That plus the weekly missions gives you 6.5k free oil every week, and that doesn't even count the oil that you produce at your HQ. If you grind on a map with oil caps, then you have to grind insanely hard to actually run out of oil. I already completely the Kearsarge grind by farming 12-4, and I never came anywhere close to running out of oil.
Other things to note:
MVP = 2x Exp
Flagship = 1.5x Exp
It's better to put your mvp ship to flagship position for even greater bonus 2 * 1.5 = 3x Exp (which is %200 more exp compared to %50 + %100 = %150) unfortunately this doesn't work for vanguards since there is no flagship bonus
Getting S rank = 1.2x Exp compared to A rank (don't do the stages you can't reliably get s rank from)
120+ morale = 1.2x Exp
You can get mvp with vanguards by giving worse gears to your backline (which will also increase the time spent to finish the fight so this is only good if you want to save oil) just make sure you have enough sustain to get through the fights and getting s ranks
11-1 is best for exp/oil but later stages like 12-4 and 13-4 is better for exp/time
I use Ranger in my US grind so it’s really RNG on whether or not she gets MVP 😢
This is exactly the reason why I didn't do Kearsarge first, because I knew I wouldn't have time, so I did Hindenburg, now I can relax a bit.
@@gabe75001 Enterprise? New Jersey? Yorktown II? Much better options because consistency beats RNG every time, and with oil cost limits, their oil cost isn't even a factor.
Im still on PR5 grinding Plymouth 😭😭
Good luck
Same still grinding for her 2nd stage 9% 🥹
I just started grinding for August von Parsival
Good luck folks
I skipped 5 and went straight for Kearsarge
5:35

Yubari face: 😳
Langley made my kearsage grind so much easier. Legend.
12-1 Eagle grind gang.
Yeah I forgot about her, I could have save a ton of oil

Look at Yuubari’s face when you said “wrong!” She got scared.
5:37 Yuubari's reaction when Kimocheese say it's wrong to use her for exp in other faction =D
Funny enough, I'm chose to start grinding Shimanto first, and when you're giving an example on who you picked for bonus exp, you chose the exact 3 characters I've been using the whole time lol.
Got Kearsarge today myself, though it’ll be a while till I get anywhere near enough prints to develop her since I’m still a few prints short on the PR5 UR gun 💀Need to prioritize that first.
The timing at 5:38 when Yuubari is shocked when he says "Wrong!" lol
The day when PR6 got added I started a few hours too late, so yeah still waiting for her Hull Construction I & II to unlock.

Thanks for tips. Totally forgot that Yuubari gives exp boost. Smooth grinding to everyone!
Thank you for the tips! I’m a newer player, just started in late Jan. Any tips on the blue prints grind for PR/DR?

What are the perfect maps for grind in lower levels?
How are the weapons for pr6? I still need to finish up my plymouth gun 🤣🤣🤣
Great tips for new players. Good luck on the grind!
Is hindenburg bugged?
1290HP (cause dev lvl 5 HP) which is Base stats but my hindenburg is Lvl 125
LVL did not affect her HP, is that Normal for PR? If yes, I really have NEVER noticed
I'm pretty sure all the stats come from the prints. The more prints you give her, the higher stats go 👍🏾
@@dwoodfolk89 just saw it cause late
Yeah it was a bug and yes, you can get the Stats from dev levels but you only reach 3k hp or something.

Rushing PR Exp is not that important. Most ships are not usable until they get enough Blueprints, and I usually unlock all the ships long before I get enough prints.
I don't see any point in rushing these since I don't have all the prints yet. It will take months for me.
Is the 15% extra xp worth it compared to running just stronger ship, like NJ, for faster clears?
its worth it for sure if you have enough time to run auto in background. Just started the grind for her and its a lot more oil efficient that way and clear time isnt much different with enty and yk2 in backline
I mean you'll end your oil faster and burn your ships affinity.
Btw kimo is goldburn good on hidenburg?
She is kinda bugged for me, Her Stats are only base (Lvl 1) despite having her on 125 which is weird
@@nicz7694have you reported it to yostar?
Great Video for new players, but is there a way to ensure my vanguard IB ships get MVP? For example to farm 11-1?

Ya you still get max exp even when you capped with LB or Level.
Sadly PR6 seems to be bugged right now. Hindenburg isn't getting stats from leveling up or getting Dev levels.
Because you need prints for that...
Looking forward to your Hindeburg farming stream soon.
Does max lvl ships count to the exp gain?
do you have tips for ship that buff other ships in siren fx.? cross fleet ofc.
I am pretty new, for new Players grinding pr main ships Hoshou also has an exp bonus to carriers
12-4 is my go to for the grind. Need the gold.
TFW you open your AL server chat and see almost only players with Hindenburg as secretary

Any tips for farming dr blueprints faster?
farm the PR first so you stop getting them and only get DR bps.

How are the guns?
I just need to finish the last 50% of the second XP task. Good to know!
i wish I can T-pose to assert dominance
kearsarge :
Also already finished with Hindenburg 💪
Felix is next so I can finally let go of the IB vanguards 👍
For me it's 12-4
I need more Choukai to limit break the other 50 I got in the dock
I am at 54% atm. I'm hoping this week but my fuel is looking sus. til then we grind!
wait . . . u still get exp even if the girls are lvl 125 ?
Sure do 👌🏾
I have been brainlessly grinding for Hindenburg on 10-4 and about 40% done on the 2.4 mill
Guess I should change up to 11-1
11-4 is good, finished Hindenburg today and already done with Felix 1st Mill
I should have her now, but my 12 hours research says "no".
59 mins till my kearsarge is done!
Every time there's new ships, the -clothing- armour gets lesser and lesser. No problem! As long it is not loli.
The one time a year that Langley and Yuubari gets used. lol
