User blog:Racoontail/Kancolle Improvement Material (Repeatable Quest Rewards) Flowchart: Organization and Priorities

Introduction:

How many of you admirals don’t do your weeklies and monthlies? To be honest, I’m also guilty as charged. However, completing these quest chains are essential to gather enough improvement materials to continue improving equipment daily via Akashi’s improvement arsenal.



 It really is time consuming to finish these quests. So, I asked the age old question, “How can these quests be organized to use less time and resources?” I devised a flowchart for the branching quest-lines centered on the weeklies and monthlies that reward improvement screws, grouped together in easy to clear maps. What do you think of this flowchart? How can we make the quest-line more convenient or more efficient?

The flowchart:



 Steps in detail:



 
 * 1) Unlock bw1, and complete bm1 if you haven’t done so already
 * 2) Complete bw1 at 1-1 while sparkling destroyers used to clear 3-5, or to sparkle expedition ships until bw1 is complete.
 * 3) Orel cruise until bw2 (sink 20 aircraft carriers) is unlocked and complete. Completing bw4 (sink 50 transports) now will take too long, so put bw4 on hold when you finish bw2. Remember to also activate bd4 (sink 3 carriers), bd5 (sink 3 transports), bd6 (sink 5 transports), and bw3 (sink 20 transport ships) if available.
 * 4) Complete bw5 (sink 15 submarines) together with bm5 (A rank 1-5 10 times).
 * 5) Tackle bw4 (sink 50 transports) together with bw6 (defeat 12 bosses in world 4) at world 4-2. Although 4-2 can be completed with a surface fleet, you can cheese the map with 5+submarines if you are willing to take some defeats in submarine nodes. If you complete bw6 before completing bw4, save bm6 (S-rank the 4-2 boss) for the next week to complete it together with the following week’s bw6 and bw4. If you do manage to complete bw4 first, I recommend grinding out the remaining transport ships in an easier map like 2-3.
 * 6) If you haven’t completed 3-5 map for the medal, do so in conjunction with bw7 (Defeat 5 bosses in 3-3, 3-4, or 3-5). If 3-5 is already cleared, world 3-3 will probably be the best option available.
 * 7) The rest are stragglers. Bm3 (S-rank 1-4 with a torpedo squadron) might be better saved for next week while completing bw2.



 Priorities:

 Unlock bw4 (sink 50 transports) as early as possible in the week, and complete that quest while completing other objectives.

 Unlock bm5 (A-rank victories 10 times) before proceeding to Bw5 Sink 15 submarines.

 Below are some charts I taken from the blog below translated. It shows possible areas to clear

Conclusion:

<p class="MsoNormal"> This flowchart is just a loose guideline, and there is still room for lots of improvement. It doesn’t account for non-repeatable quests, or for sortieing for other reasons such as to earn monthly medals, or to unlock new maps. Perhaps using this flowchart as a baseline, and tweaking the chart based on your needs is probably for the best.
