19 [RG-1] FloridaPanther25 Members 135 posts 21,003 battles Report post #1 Posted December 18, 2016 I am relatively new to the game and purchased the Atago. I have compiled a lot of XP but see buying a premium ship doesn't help you in the context of advancing up the regular tier (or does it?). What do I do will all the XP I am accumulating? I've tricked-out my ship as much as I can (I think). Regarding doubloons and consumables; when you purchase a tier II consumable and pay doubloons, do you have to pay each time? Are they good for a day or something like that? I notice sometimes I have to pay, and others seemingly I don't. I can't understand how this feature works; it's never consistent. Thank you for help!

Doubloons are set as the default payment, but just click on the doubloon symbol and you can change it to credits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now some expenditures are free and some have a kinda admin fee tacked on..as you may have noticed. Well WOW gets a cut for these transactions depending on the case. As for a comsumable - as like camo or pay to play option like smoke - its for a one battle event only. Now choose wisely as they can accumulate but you can change your per battle options by deselecting or destroying your option depending on how you feel. Just understand that they give you a variety of options which go from free to expensive depending on your financial appetite as that point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please give us 1 example of any cut they have taken out of any in game transaction you have ever made. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are good for training captains, earning credits, and in some cases earning free XP (the green number) in the upper right hand corner. Like most ships Atago will become more capable as your captain levels up, being a premium ship your captain will level up faster, you can also use this to level up your other IJN ship captains faster by swapping them out. Regarding doubloons and tier ll consumables you get billed after each battle but you don't have to use doublloons. If you click the down arrow next to the doubloons icon it will give you the option to use the in game credits instead. I recommend using the credits for the tier ll consumables once you have enough accumulated as they are expensive and save your doubloons for more important stuff. Also things that cost doubloons like port slots and captain spaces can be be acquired at lower prices during special events/sales and also through the supercontainer rewards. Welcome to the Monkey House and good luck. Edited December 18, 2016 by Jupitus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
