User blog:Zel-melon/Bucket Hoarding for Casuals

''This is for people who don't have much time to play Kancolle, but have at least 30 minutes to 1 hour to spare. This is also assuming that you got your naval base economy going for a bit and not just fresh started where you need every ship you can get. Technically, this is for myself. 15 mintues usually go to PVP :v''

''This only apply to Daily quest. If you're going to say "OHhhhhh just do Expedition 2 and ohhhhh why didn't you talk about weeklies or ohhh myyy why are you so sexy" then ask yourself...."do you have the time to play all day when you need to keep your body fabulous?"''

Bucket hoarding is a painful process usually involving doing expedition 2 forever and hope that the 50% doesn't troll you. So instead of doing that all the time, I usually spent 30 minutes of gameplay per day +/- multiple check back to resend expeditions. The key is to treat it like a job/chores (yes, I just said job) that you need to do each day. Kancolle isn't a game that you can just rush through it and 'preparation' is needed.

So....how many buckets can you get montly just from doing dailies alone? (doesn't count weeklies/montlies): Note: Yes, it's not 30 days per month, but just average it because fuck it.

If you hoard buckets and don't use any at all you can get at least 288 buckets per month assuming you don't use any. However, 288 buckets requires getting through Bd7, which is sinking world 2 boss 5 times which is a pain sometimes due to RNG. So if you obt not to do it then you'll lose 60 buckets brining it down to 228 buckets per month.

'''The 'easy' quests can be done pretty quickly. So what do we have? Each day, we need to:''' And for any day that ended with -3rd, 7th, or 10th (e.g. 23rd, 17th, 30th) you also need to:
 * 1) Sink 2 enemy fleets
 * 2) Sink 3 Transport
 * 3) Repair 5 ships
 * 4) Craft 4 ships (1 + 3)
 * 5) Develop 4 Equipments
 * 6) Scrap 2 ships
 * 7) Modenize 2 times
 * Sink 3 CVL

So how do I tackle this to ensure minimum play time with maximum bucket output?

For Crafting and Modenizing is pretty straight forward but you might as well put them to good use. Grab the ship you constructed and use flamethrowers to burn em up. Finish till the 3 construction one and use those ships for clearing sorties. They are low level so they'll be fast to fix and fast to repair allowing you to clear the repair quest with ease.

For people with a sub fleet, just start with 1-1 to clear Bd1, then go do 2-3. A few runs (if lucky) should clear all the sortie quests you need to do (#1, #2 and the Sink 3 CVL one).

For people without sub fleet, start with 1-1 but go for 2-2 next for Transport quest (not 100%, can fucked up) or 2-1 for CVL (100% encounter as long as you pass 1st node).

Then you can scrap those ships and you're done.

You can also clear Bd7 by doing 2-2 but that's your choice (it's 2 more buckets that you'll earn daily).

And there you have it! Do this every day and you're on your way to putting "Teitoku" as your job in your resume...because....
