Howdy Captains,
In yesterday's Community Stream, we saw some questions/confusion on how to earn Fusō’s Samurai Skin, aka the Japanese Castle permanent camouflage. Hopefully this post will answer any questions you might have!
First and foremost, you can find more information about the event here: The Shogun's Trials

Essentially, throughout Update 0.11.0 (starting on February 7), the Japanese Castle camo will available to purchase with Portal Tokens. There are two main ways that you will be able to obtain it:

For 400 Tokens, you will be able to purchase a mission chain. Once the mission chain is completed, you will obtain the camo.


For 750 Tokens, you will be able to purchase the camo outright.


You may be asking yourself, "Well that's all well and good, Konception. But how do I earn Portal Tokens?" Portal Tokens can be earned through completing tasks on two main platforms: Discord and Twitch. Discord - Earn up to 250 Portal Tokens From now until Sunday, February 6th at 5:59pm CT, you can complete two tasks via Discord that can earn you up to 250 Portal Tokens. PLEASE NOTE: Tokens that are to be received from Discord tasks will not be rewarded immediately. They should be credited to your account between February 7th and February 8th. To reiterate, they will NOT appear immediately. First task - 100 Portal Tokens
All you have to do is link your Discord account to your Wargaming.net ID. To do so, you can join our Discord server here. After you join, you will receive a Discord message from the WG Auth Bot. Click on the link in that message and log-in using your Wargaming.net ID, and you will be good to go. Should you need further assistance, we put together a handy video on this process that can be viewed here. Second task - 150 Portal Tokens
For the second task, you have a variety of options that you can do. You only need to do ONE of these to earn the tokens. Doing them all will not earn you additional tokens.

Take part in a discussion in any of the channels within the server.


Post a screenshot of one of your in-game battle result screens in the #battle-results channel.


Go to one of the #ship-guessing channels (either #ship-guessing-1 or #ship-guessing-2) and post "$guess" or ")guess"- This will cause a bot to post an image of a random ship's silhouette. Guess the ship's name as fast as you can!

Twitch - Earn up to 750 Portal Tokens From now until Wednesday, February 16th at 11:00pm CT, you can complete two tasks via Twitch that can earn you up to 750 Portal Tokens. First task - 50 Portal Tokens
All you have to do is follow the World of Warships Twitch channel. Once you are following, you can click the orange "Participate" button in this article, and you should have the tokens (you might need to refresh the page to see your total updated). Second task - up to 700 Portal Tokens
These tokens are earned through Twitch Challenges missions that are available through Twitch Drops. These Twitch Challenges are combat missions that will unlock directly in your Port each week after watching 90 minutes of World of Warships streams. Complete the combat mission, and you will earn 175 Portal Tokens. This will occur over four weeks, so you will have a total of 4 unlockable missions that can earn you a total of 700 Portal Tokens. Here's the breakdown of the timeline per mission:

Mission 1 - Now until Wednesday, February 2nd at 11:00pm CT


Mission 2 - Now until Wednesday, February 9th at 11:00pm CT


Mission 3 - From Thursday, February 3rd at 11:00am CT to Wednesday, February 16th at 11:00pm CT


Mission 4 - From Thursday, February 10th at 11:00am CT to Tuesday, February 15th at 11:00pm CT

For more information on what each combat mission entails, or for what else you can earn from Twitch Drops for update 0.11.0, look here. For a schedule of our live streams, go here. As you can see, you do not need to complete everything on this list to be able to get the Japanese Castle camo. You can earn as little as 400 Portal Tokens to obtain it. Additionally, the camo will be able to be purchased in the Armory for Doubloons with the release of Update 0.11.1, if you would like to wait.

Hopefully this helps! Fair winds and following seas!

Great question! The only reward for that mission chain would be the camo.

Yup! They're actually listed in the 0.11.0 Twitch Drops info page here. Best of luck!

Ahh yes, my apologies for misunderstanding. Nothing to report yet regarding the mission chain that you can unlock with the tokens.

You can definitely complete the transaction through the web page you linked. I don't believe there are plans to have it unlockable in the Armory but I will be sure to update this post if I hear otherwise.

Totally understand your hesitation with doing voice calls on Discord based on this. Just wanted to add (in case you weren't familiar) that Discord functions like a live forum with the option to use voice if you want to. I'd say a majority of people who use our Discord use it as a place to have game discussions, just like the forum but in real time. So if your main hesitation with joining Discord was using voice, you're more than welcome to still join and just do text-based discussions.

The article does have a section on it which states:


1) That a player can only expect 1,000 Tokens at more (which is less than the 1,150 required to purchase both option)

2) States directly that "it is only possible to purchase one item"

There has been some confusion especially in cases when a player may have purchased the Mission but still was shown as having the Tokens they'd "spent". That was not intentional.

This event was created using some new tech so it's been a bit of a trial run along with the growing pains associated.
