184.155.141.238: Reminder to not buy cash shop items from API links

==Introduction==
As seen on the [[Shop]] page, there in-game items that can be acquired only by using real money. This article may help anyone that wants to go through the process of "''hating money, more love to the ship girls''".

First, here are two terminologies that are important, and different from each other.

* '''DMM Money''' is the monetary amount you have on your DMM account. This cannot be used to purchase in-game items yet
* '''DMM Points''' is the currency to which you buy in-game items. Thus, you will need to convert DMM Money into DMM Points later on

==Step ①: Purchase DMM Money==
