There is a very easy quest line (scrap 5 equipment, win 4 PvP, scrap 2x 7.7mm and 2x 12.7mm) that gives the T2ALC, which costs a LOT of screws to upgrade to. However, that quest apparently requires B46 (beat 3-2 with Abukuma, Hatsushimo, Samidare, Hibiki, Shimakaze and Wakaba) to be completed. I'm bringing this up because it's looking very likely that landing crafts will be useful in the upcoming event. B46 does require B21 and B20, so if you haven't completed those quests, then maybe you shouldn't bother (unless you actually have all those required DD ready).

EDIT: Someone says B46 is not required for F33, but someone else says it is...

2) The way expedition 34 works is that you send an expedition fleet out, then you send your main fleet to any map in world 5. At the boss node, there would be a chance that your support expedition fleet bombards the enemy at the beginning of the battle. Expedition 33 applies to the nodes before the boss. As Tennousu says, the event support expeditions will be unlocked during the event, so it has nothing to do with current expeditions; you can stick to resource gathering.

3) Akashi is still droppable at 1-5 at the moment, so it would be recommended to search for her there.

Good luck! Arigatou Ayao,

1) I don't have Shimakaze so I can't do anything about that quest line and I don't think it is the right time to hunt it.

2) Great, I need resources so sticking to my standard expedition rotations :)

3) I tried to hunt for Akashi from 2nd April until 11th April (my HQ lvl on 2nd April was 34, it hit HQ 80 on 11th April) but no luck. After I hit lvl 80, My fleet kept getting badly damaged before they even reach the last boss in 1-5 so I gave up Akashi and focus on preparing on the Spring Event 2016.

FYI: My fleet composition on 1st April 2016 = lvl 48 Zuikaku (highest), Lvl 40 Akagi (2nd highest), a few lvl 30, some lvl 20, no DD or LC which was lvl 20 yet :(

I appreaciate the suggestion about getting Akashi, I tried but I guess lady luck wasn't in my favour :( (I must have pissed her off since I was fawning my ship girls and not her XD )

Thx Ayao, have a great day :)
