Main Menu

The main menu acts as a hub for the rest of the menus in the game.

## Resources

Along the top right of the screen are your resources: Oil, Funds and Diamonds.

There is a resource cap limit on oil and funds that scales with your level, which increases the upper cap limit as you level up. Trying to claim either resources from the Canteen or Merchant Shop in the Academy will only allow you to claim resources up to your current upper cap limit. Any excess resources generated can only be claimed when you are below the upper cap limit. However, resources from commissions or tasks will still allow you to go above the limit cap.

However, there is no cap limit on diamonds.

### Oil

Oil is used whenever you begin combat or start certain commissions. It is produced by the Canteen in the Academy, and can also be obtained via commissions and tasks.

### Funds

Funds are the currency that is used for most transactions in the game. It is produced by the Merchant Shop in the Academy, and can also be obtained via commissions and tasks.

### Diamonds

Diamonds are the premium currency of Azur Lane. Diamonds are used to buy other resources or items from the Item Shop, and can only be obtained via the Diamond Shop or by completing certain achievements in Collections and Tasks.
