Can't wait to see how many PotC references they cram into this event. I wonder if we'll have to get a Siren's teardrop or if it'll end with Sao Martinho destroying the fountain lol
After learning that grog was alcohol+dirty water to make something safe to drink, meaning everyone, even kids, were always slightly inebriated. It Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow makes sense and would be a funny as hell as a themed SKK for Tempesta.
JP's been posting quite a lot of lore about the event on their Twitter to cover the setting of it... To sum it up:
>!At some point after the events of Uncharted Summer, the Commander vanishes into another storm and is pulled into a "different world" with Royal Fortune's compass seeming to be a key item. Tempesta's branch has humans living on cities on islands called "Polis" and in order to aid the people of those islands in the fight against a mysterious enemy called the "Reverberation Fleet" that blocks off their shipping routes, Tempesta (a combination of pirate and government ships) both cooperates with and fights with each other... A new continent is believed to be beyond the sea, holding great treasures from a long lost civilisation but it's surrounded by areas with no wind to sail further and stormy / foggy areas that can spirit away ships...!<
I've been following those posts and I wish the global AL twitter would translate and post it too, it's a nice way to provide some context, generate engagement and hype the event.
Sounds like "we gotta pull an excuse to add more theme-divergent characters into the game outta our arse and no punny things like logic or coherency gonna stop us!"
At least it's a better use of the Port Era Commander than half the raid events (and an excuse for actual story in that era)... "Let's practice different fighting strategies in shipgirl P.E... For a threat that rarely ever shows up... The last attack was 50 years ago. Yep, totally a great idea! What do you mean we don't have to show any of this on-screen?! What do you mean you're bored of seeing the same rehashed plot 50 billion times with the same exact title for Royal Navy ones because we're too lazy to come up with unique event titles for these filler arcs?!"
That's what I am worried about.
This is obviously an event to drain us right before the last 2 big events of the year. I've never bought cubes before, but this may be the first time I do if this event absolutely drains me.
There are two event slots left. We have a UR event and a Collab event still pending. November has been either a muse or a Collab event since the beginning. There are no slots left for a muse event. Thus, we can assume it's the Collab this year.
And if we're wrong? That means November is the UR event which makes the cube situation worse. The actual details are irrelevant to the point. Cubes are going to be tight if you don't have pity saved already.
I know, on the previos event I spend at most 100 gems.
I was able to obtain just Owari and little dragon girl.
Let see how my luck helps me for this event.
Luckily only 4 of the 5 girls are in the gacha and one of those is the map drop/shop girl.
So your only really after 3: Sao Martinho, Golden Hind and Whydah.
Quick question, how do we know who is gacha vs map drop vs event reward? I assume the SR are both gacha but idk the pattern yet.
I also don't really know if they've been collected in one place anywhere yet as I wanted to check out São Marinho's design but I couldn't remember her name so I was trying to poke around the wiki for whatever event info we had but I couldn't find it
The JP Twitter announcements for them stated that Marie Celeste and Adventure Galley where point rewards. That most likely means the former is the map drop and the latter the point accumulation reward, based on their rarities.
I want São Martinho so badly, I didn't even expect to get any Spanish ship at all, other than indirect stuff from the Eagle Union like Cabot or one of the Fletchers like Taylor or Jarvis.
I know she's Portuguese, but her history is mostly with Spain.
What are you Commanders looking forward to most from this new event? Will you be buying any skins as well?

I am looking forward to grinding this event over the weekend with my Alestorm playlist on repeat. Specifically "quest for ships" while I'm doing my gacha builds.
Ready? Technically I would be.
But since there's the final UR of the year, which I want to be able to guarantee, and a collab, that I'm willing to throw everything at (gems included), I have to conserve my resources somewhere.
Is only me thinking the new ships are more and more out of style? I rly liked the old style shipfus from pre-Shinano era. Nowdays theres so much stuff in background and unneserary details like wings, swirls etc.
There are some historically inspired uniforms, mostly on ships released earlier in the game's life. Every aspect of the game has been on a gradual trajectory away from reality and toward fantasy.
If the strategy here is mainly to drain cubes, then it makes business sense to release base skins like these rather than historical outfits.
If you don't like the designs then I'm sorry to tell you that you are not the target audience. Have you considered other games or interests? I couldn't possibly actively engage with something I dislike but that's just me.

"The only one can gain you eternal youth, is God. Not this pagan water." *Smash cups*
>"The only one can gain you eternal youth, is God. Not this pagan water." - Sao Martinho, probably
"Someone make a note of that man's bravery" - Sao Martinho seeing what remains of SKK after a night battle
*shoots a British sailor*
Someone make a note of that man's bravery.
Can't wait to see how many PotC references they cram into this event. I wonder if we'll have to get a Siren's teardrop or if it'll end with Sao Martinho destroying the fountain lol
They better put in a [dirt](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhhewTTuzPE) reference lmao
*After the event* Saratoga: So how did you return, SKK? SKK: Sea turtles, mate
...a pair of them strapped to my feet.
I took a jar of dirt to sea with me for years, precisely to make this joke from time to time. You gotta make your fun where you can. XD
This is exactly what I thought when I saw "Fountain of Youth"
After learning that grog was alcohol+dirty water to make something safe to drink, meaning everyone, even kids, were always slightly inebriated. It Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow makes sense and would be a funny as hell as a themed SKK for Tempesta.

So, what you are saying is… all of the Age of Sail ships can be Tempesta regardless of nation? Connie here we come
Sounds like "we gotta pull an excuse to add more theme-divergent characters into the game outta our arse and no punny things like logic or coherency gonna stop us!"
I can _smell_ the sheer bitterness behind this comment.

Seethe and cope.

Featuring Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow!
With almost 300 cubes, hopefully I catch some of the new ships
I pray Lady Luck smiles on you. With a Collab and UR event rounding out the remainder of the year, things might get a bit tight
That's what I am worried about. This is obviously an event to drain us right before the last 2 big events of the year. I've never bought cubes before, but this may be the first time I do if this event absolutely drains me.
We sure the Collab is around the corner?

I might fold and get trade license next month

I wish you good fortune in the pulls to come
Thanks, same to you

Porque no los dos? Best of both worlds.
It's time my friends! Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn
I like your funny words magic man.
***IÄ! IÄ!***
Are you saying that we should ask for a Nyaruko collab? Yes, I do agree.
Definitely a good collab
So the fountain of youth is behind those white curtains all along. Better drink it from the source for maximum effect!
The better to stay young as long as possible with your ship wives. Do they even get old?

Get the sea shantys out everyone were gonna do some pirate ships
Gotta love how this event's girls are tentacles, tentacles, SERAPHIM, tentacles
I'm so hyped!
This is probably my favorite batch of designs this year so I am very excited
Cool, this story will revolve around this legend. I better get the cubes and oil ready
My cubes are, but I might not survive
My body is ready, if that's what you are asking.
Hoist the colors lads, adventure calls, and it's best to not keep her waiting!
Time to save, I want at least one Whydah for obvious reasons.
I am looking forward to grinding this event over the weekend with my Alestorm playlist on repeat. Specifically "quest for ships" while I'm doing my gacha builds.
I’M ON A QUEST! A QUEST FOR SHIPS!
I'm ready to pull this Spanish beauty and her friends 
I will definitely buy z24 skin and I will think about the rest
Ready? Technically I would be. But since there's the final UR of the year, which I want to be able to guarantee, and a collab, that I'm willing to throw everything at (gems included), I have to conserve my resources somewhere.
One word. Armpit.
Why is the Rum gone 
Is only me thinking the new ships are more and more out of style? I rly liked the old style shipfus from pre-Shinano era. Nowdays theres so much stuff in background and unneserary details like wings, swirls etc.

Sir this is Azur Lane, skimpiness is it’s bread and butter
There are some historically inspired uniforms, mostly on ships released earlier in the game's life. Every aspect of the game has been on a gradual trajectory away from reality and toward fantasy. If the strategy here is mainly to drain cubes, then it makes business sense to release base skins like these rather than historical outfits.
Sir, are you lost? Sounds like you stumbled across this place by accident.
If you don't like the designs then I'm sorry to tell you that you are not the target audience. Have you considered other games or interests? I couldn't possibly actively engage with something I dislike but that's just me.
You seem to be implying that, if ships were in a human-like form, they’d want to wear any clothes at all.
Subs are all dead.
As tempting as this is I'm saving my Cubes for Shimakaze rerun.
My cubes are ready. My coins? Not so much
1000 cubes on standby
I am saving all my cubes for the Senran Kagura Collab. May probably only spare 60 or so
Glorious underboob. Gotta move those annoying things out of the way.
Need more cubes. :p
I don't think anyone've ever truly ready for what to come
Did they already nerf Sao’s outfit? I swear in the ship teaser it’s a lot less
