How long did it take you to get all that stuff?

I got a lot of most of the stuff after about a year of playing. The key is completing quests and leveling the right ships. You should *really* pay attention to the various resources here, because there is a whole page dedicated to quests and those rewards and there is at least one guide on leveling

The key is to pay attention to what the veterans are telling you and give heed to their advice.

This means that if you don't:

- have at least 4 Type 96 LBAA, you should be crafting them as part of your Daily Construction until you have at least 4. Then, you should look to opening and completing Quest F39 and F40. F39 is a quarterly repeatable quest.

- have some Yasen gear (Searchlight, Starshell and Night Recon), then you need to get Sendai to K2 (level 60) and Ayanami to K2 (level 70).

- have named aircraft (such as Tomonaga Squadron, Egusa Squadron, Iwamoto Squadron), then you need to take a look at completing those quests ASAP.

- have CLTs, Abukuma K2, Yura K2, then you should be leveling them. Kitakami and Ooi K2 at level 50, Kiso at 65. Abukuma K2 (75) and Yura K2 (Level 77) both require Blueprints, so plan accordingly.

- have Drums and Daihatsus, then you should be trying to craft Drums as part of your Daily Construction, and you can get 1 per week by completing some basic Weeklies. Daihatsus are a little harder to come by because most of the ships that have Daihatsus as standard gear require a Blueprint to get, but there are a *few* quests that offer them as a reward choice.

- have Zuikaku and Shoukaku (aka The Cranes), then you should try getting them ASAP. They are craftable both in standard construciton and LSC. Getting both to K2 requires a Prototype Catapult and Blueprint but there are quests that provide the Catapults.

- have Akashi yet, then you need to farm her. She drops on 1-5 on the Boss node if you are at least HQ level 80 and you don't have her.

- have Seaplane Fighters, then you should be upgrading Type 0 Recon Seaplanes (these are craftable and very common standard equipment for some ships) into T2 Seaplane fighters (see my note below). Due to the costs, you *may* have to resort to using Zuiuns instead.

- have Blueprints, then you should be doing your best to clear 1-5, 2-5, 3-5 and 4-5. Each of those maps rewards a medal, and 4 medals = 1 Blueprint. Further, there are a handful of quests that offer medals as rewards, so you may want to take that into account as well.

Note: If you have Roma, Italia or Zara you can build Ro.43 Recon Seaplanes and upgrade those to Ro.44 Seaplane fighters. The Ro.44 isn't quite as good as the T2, but it's a LOT cheaper, and in small slots, the difference between the T2 and Ro.44 is minimal and most of the Fighter Power is coming from them having >> anyway.

With the exception of the Blueprints, everything you need to clear an event on Easy or Casual mode can be acquired through normal gameplay. You may have a hard time of getting some gear due to the time and resource constraints (Seaplane Fighters are very cost-intensive for screws).

I will be clear; if you prepare properly and now, you should have no problems in clearing the event on Casual or Easy.

sucks to be a noob smh

On one hand it does... on the other hand, if you read the wiki, pay attention to quest rewards and plan accordingly, you should have no problems in clearing events.

I started in May 2017, and I was able to clear Summer 2017, which was both my first full event and a rather large one at that. While it was on Easy Mode, I attribute my success to reading up on the wiki and following the guides that are present.
