gotta get coal

[RomaMon]

i am rather suddenly really wanting coal, however i have a very small amount of it for what i want to use it on, any good and fairly fast ways of getting coal on mass without paying if at'll

would greatly appreciate it

You can only get ~2000/day from all the daily resource containers and missions. You can get a little extra from the personal challenges and the supership bundles in the armory now as well. You get 10% more if you're in a clan. It's a long grind.

darn

Make sure you do choose the resource containers for your daily crates. They're guaranteed to drop 400 coal, but can drop up to 1200 each.

Yeah, coal is a matter of patience, although I still find it easier to accumulate than FreeXP (then again I run all techlines at the same time mind you).

As others have said, keep getting them resource containers and hope your supers contain a big drop.

Drop rate for resource container:
100% - 400 coal
27.5% - 800 coal
1.25% - 1200 coal

Its a lot less now getting three coal even my clan says the same,but you do win more in game to make up the difference ,been playing this game for years. Most times you would get 1,200 coal once every week and a half or less. Triples are hard to come by now, WG way of trimming the fat.....mmmm 1.25 chance of getting a triple coal, that's even worse than trying to get a premium ship drop,what does that tell you lol. Triple coal drops were way better months ago even years ago. Just like the drop rates for ships years ago were way better. And the grind was way faster for captain skills. 5,400 hours playing and I'm still not done.How many people are willing to do 5,400 hours In a game. All I can say Is you better be retired...

Well, at 1.25% it's less likely than a supercontainer.

[sneakybass]

I will say this you can get 25,000 coal every

You can get 28,000 coal every month or more Get all your three daily crates and In game rewards at start up. Just don't spend It on upgrades get your ships first. I would say you should be able to get a nice ship every four or five months tier 9.And you get daily rewards every month at start up at least 800 coal each month there even more.

Ship is far less likely from a daily drop. Something like 0.01%

[RomaMon]

and it'll likely take me much longer since i only play against bots, only after 160ish hours of me playing wow that i then realised i was not fighting real players as i was only playing co-op

i did give random battles a go, and quickly retreated back to the bots to have some fun after a slaughter upon me lol

[christof]

I play mostly co-op myself. And I'm gathering coal at a pretty decent speed. Daily missions plus always choosing the resource crates. And then there's the extras like from daily rewards (even if you don't plan to go into a battle, just logging in for a minute each day is still worth it), events like the personal challenges currently and occasional other missions. I've been playing since last April or so. And I've bought with coal a Kirov, Oktjabrskaja Revoljuzjia, Pommern and Napoli, a 10-point captain with improved skills for my PanAsian ships and the special smoke upgrades for both my Perth and Huang He. And I'm already getting close to having enough coal for a Moskva (likely the next coal ship I buy) again. I think I would already have enough, if I had a coupon ready. Now I do play a lot, quite a lot. But that is still quite the list. And I may actually have forgotten a mid-tier ship or two. Because I don't remember whether I got my Bliskawica and Aigle with dubloons or coal.

So it does need some patience, yes. But not as much as one would think.

Hang In there Mon you will get better with time,I even quit twice I was just like you. But this game draws you In and sucks your life away lol just teasing I enjoy the game. I did not feel good about this game till around a 900 hours. You are going to be surprised what you can do later on I mean It. Watch videos you can learn a lot on you tube. Best of luck..

[RomaMon]

im being honest, i wish i had friends to play with, most don't play anymore unfortunately, however i feel like id be tad bit more confident playing random as id have people i can rely on and just have a good time even if we lose bad

but i ♥♥♥♥♥ and complain a tone so i tend to just play solo anyways so people don't have to slog through my ♥♥♥♥♥♥ moods

Join a clan.

I can definitely say that playing with friends while using teamspeak, discord or whatever service to talk to each other makes a huge difference in the game and is a lot more fun than doing it alone.
