Tier III wouldn't sell for much, riiiight? So maybe there's gonna be some missions to award the ship. Azuma will be for sale obvi(Tier IX premium price or similar). 3 camos, probably 5k doubloons each, so 15k doubloons...and then the commanders, there's 6 new ones, so that's probably like...1500 doubloons each? Probably 10k doubloons or something for all 6. So probably roughly around 50k doubloons for the entire bundle. Probably a BIT less. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only Aurora and Azuma will get AL "Clone Ships". That's how I'm reading it too. Unfortunately for their cash registers, I already have earned-free-in-game permas for both Shokaku and Iowa, and Indomitable already has one as a premium. Plus if I really wanted an Azuma, I could have one for free right this minute. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably 10k doubloons or something for all 6. So far, all the monetized Azur Lane commanders have been exclusive to containers, with the last collaboration event simply adding the new commanders to the loot pool for the containers, so I wouldn't bet on spending as little as 10K doubloons on getting all the new ones Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I started playing AL a few months ago and deeply regret not starting when she was available, she's pretty well OP and I don't have anything that can match her. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The choice to use a tier III ship is extremely odd. 53 minutes ago, Fatalimpulse said: So far, all the monetized Azur Lane commanders have been exclusive to containers, with the last collaboration event simply adding the new commanders to the loot pool for the containers, so I wouldn't bet on spending as little as 10K doubloons on getting all the new ones This is not true. The last collaboration had several bundles available, including one for each of the three stages of the collaboration that contained only the appropriate AL content. Now, I wouldn’t expect WG to go back to offering the commanders for sale individually (imagine actually giving your customers what they want ), but for those only interested in acquiring the new content (if they already have all or enough of the previous content) there will almost certainly be a way to do so.

Montpellier was offered during the last (3rd) collab, despite being released in the 2nd, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the ship is available again.

If I had a dime for every time a 23 year old girl walked into a bar I've worked at wearing almost nothing, I'd have enough money to buy out WG. 98% of the AL girls are adults and are written and admitted to be adults. The 2% that aren't have never been drawn in a perverted way. For reference, here is Unicorn, one of the characters. Intended to be under 18 and oh look, all the art literally shows her modestly covered up and her character is left unsexualized. 8 artwork variants and all of them are, *gasp*, normal clothing people under 18 would wear in an age-appropriate manor.https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Unicorn/Gallery#Default-0 Please don't be intellectually obtuse or insulting when 5 minutes of googling and self-analysis can confirm that NOTHING in AL is designed from the ground up to be predatory. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
