1) Run ex2 and ex5 whenever you can. They're by far the best expeditions in the game. Once you get fourth fleet, use it for ex21 or unlocking Tokyo Express. When you have enough DDs at Kai level and decently modernized, start sparkling ex5 and ex21. Use sparkled ships from PvP for longer expeditions.

2) Set up a camp at 3-2-A and 1-5. You have a lot of subs so I assume you already train at 3-2-A and know how to do it. There's a nice guide on this site. For 1-5, use 1CL 5DD or 6DD, do three nodes, retreat after third node. Rinse and repeat. This way six ships get exp and you don't het hurt by boss node. Use fleet presets to avoid problems with morale. Switch 3-2-A and 1-5 fleets.

3) Do all PvP. Even a D rank vs lv50 gives similar exp to 3-2-A S rank and doesn't require repairs. Anything more is a big win. DON'T bring carriers with bombers to PvP.

4) Unless I'm mistaken, the easy Ooshio quests you get two medals from don't have any special requirements. This month you should be able to get 1-5 and 2-5. That's four. If you cleared 1-5 in Spetember you could add 3-5 next month and have second blueprint when event starts. Have Abukuma and Fusou sisters ready, possibly one from Tone class as well. Abukuma is #1 main priority out of all ships but event >might< favor aviation ships (and Kinu might become an alternative to Abukuma).

5) Craft eq. As mentioned above, 20/60/10/110 for planes. Once you have one Saiun drop it to 20/60/10/100. You want minimum of five fighters (Reppuu + Shiden Kai Ni) and six torpedo bombers (hopefully Ryuusei Kai but Ryuusei isn't that bad). Preferably more but this can wait. 10/90/90/30 for shells, aim for four each of AP Shell and Sanshiki. Minimum two Sanshiki. While AP Shells aren't as >crucial<, they're generally more useful and you want AP Shells on your BBs for great artillery spotting. 10/30/10/31 for ASW, use submarine flagship to not waste devmats.

6) Get Shigure, Isuzu and Sendai to Kai Ni. Chitose and Chiyoda too. Next in line are Ayanami, Asashio, Akatsuki and Hibiki. Jintsuu too. Some of the Kongou sisters can probably reach the Kai Ni level just by leeching it while you train other ships.

7) Do many the quests. Majority of them result in resource gain. They also give good eq like T3 Sonar, Sanshiki or proto35.6.
