Well, you had 6 SSR drops, thats more than most f2p had. Shame they were all dupes.

Probably want to do the Prestige at some point. I just log on to try to get exotics once a week now.
Not yet last I checked but he's also not pulling like crazy yet. Last night he was streaming farming hearts for hours and quitting each run if the demon didn't show. Gave his chat fits because he was using quartz for stamina refills.

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
My back line is Mash and two 1* servants so I can do all 5* event CEs. That leaves me enough left for 2 5*s in the front line.
Same, though I managed to squeeze in two 2*s instead of two 1*s.
Thanks, nice idea. I might just do this later (after the event ends, anyway)!
I feel your pain, man. I've been considering the same thing.

I put a lot of resources into this

I thought you got a medallion for getting more than 5 copies of some 5* servant which lets you choose any of the 5* servants in the pool. Or is this not the case?
You need ten (count 'em - ten) of those medallions to get to pick up another 5* servant.
It's a pretty shite system honestly.
I have two total SSRs. I'll take a third of your Altera's, please.
(I do have a few nice 4* stars, though, including Herc and SAlter, so I can't complain. The devastation will hit if I can't pull Scathach, who I may whale for.)
I need 13 more pumpkin for my last Maid CE. I'm not sure if I should just suck it up and reset the guerilla missions I have until they drop the pumpkins (which, if I count correctly, will give me the last 20 I need for that last Maid CE) or keep at farming 40AP hoping it get it to drop. With the latter I'm at least getting bats/other drops out of my spent AP, where if I reset the guerilla's I could potentially get nothing out of a full stamina bar...
We still have 11 days left, so it shouldn't be too bad. I'm still paranoid though.

We are getting about 3 guerilla missions a day and 2 party quests. Thats already 130 AP out of the 288 natural AP regen being used. So there isn't much room for resetting. But this is also dependent on what other CEs you have. If your party is already full of event CEs even the 3* ones, I would just farm, but if you have open slots thats probably a bigger pro to resetting.
But yeah, I would roll FP gatcha to get 3* CE to fill up empty slots , then do 40 AP / Guerilla. 30 for the Princess drop is nice, but do remember its a worse rate than 5* SSR (heard its like 0.25%), so never count on getting a drop. If you really want to reset, probably better off farming now and resetting at Atalanta for CE
Also that final Lvl 80 Guerilla quest looks really really intimidating. What's everyone's plan to taking it out?

Is there a guide for which quest drops which items for the event?
Lot's of 30AP quests...
Also, what's the benefit of leveling up CE?
Which ones are the guerilla missions?

30 AP ones are guerilla quests that could drop pumpkin head.
20 AP ones are party quests that reward you apples.
Leveling up CE boosts stats (atk and hp).
All of my slots are full of Halloween CE, so I guess I'll take your suggestion and just farm the 40 AP for pumpkin then, and save the guerilla quests if I REALLY get desperate. I really do want to max LB the Halloween Princess CE, so if I need to spend a few Golden Apples resetting Atalante (if I don't get lucky with the 30 AP drops), then so be it!
As for the final guerilla mission, I haven't checked into it too much, but if all else fails...Command Spells! We really only need to do it once, after all.

Just do the guerilla as they come, there's supposedly 62 of them.
For the final one, 3 command spells might not be enough lol. Maybe I need to start leveling Ushiwakamaru to nuke.
Question, I was using a friend Francis drake but couldn't use their np even though I have one. Is this because I don't have any bond points on mine yet or because I haven't done the story section she's from yet?
Speaking is francis aside from stealing some stars from Emiya from time to time she seems really neat.
The friend summon that's impressed me most though is a level 90 lancer cu chulainn with np5. Dude is a one man army and I'm always happy to bring him along when pumpkin farming.

St. George, Heracles, and XiaNaphryz's NP3 Artoria in front. Jeanne, Mash, and something else (David?) in the back.
Are you sure you have them added as a friend? The support list also includes servants of strangers, and you can't use their NPs.
Haven't really been following much of a schedule/guide for this event (since Ive been horrrlbly disinterested due to Tamamo salt) but I've basically gotten most of the items from the shop.
I think aside from monuments, I only have the following left:
1) Maid in Halloween x1
2) Crystallized Lore x 1
3) Reverse Dragon Scale x3
4) Homonculus Baby x 20
5) All the other random mats which I may or may not bother to claim.

So you're supposed to farm the 40 AP hidden room of a cat maid quest... but it doesn't always drop pumpkins?

It drops pumpkins more than half the time, in practice.

Hrm, bad RNG I guess. 40 AP is wacky though. Can only do it a few times a day.
I mean... that's everything about every gacha game in a nutshell, and goes double for RPGs in general.

Just not used to that coming from GBF where the event drops are basically guaranteed - you just need to farm them forever. lol
How did you forget to login over a 24 hour period?
It's ingrained in me as a habit at this point, mostly because I'm kind of obsessed over spending my AP.
Quickest 4th ascension I've ever done. And that includes REGEND OF SAMURAI.
I hope I'll be ready by the time it's Nobu's turn.

40 AP until you clean out the pumpkin stuff, then switch to 30 AP for bats and candles.
I mean, every time I take I look at my friends list/reddit/Neogaf I see that pretty much everyone, on average, has at least two SSR, meanwhile here I am with no SR since mid-August and only one 5*
When I received that I realized that the game was just mocking me. You need frigging 10 of those.
SAlter is pretty much the only servant I really care about in my roster, but she is in desperate need of her animation update.I have two total SSRs. I'll take a third of your Altera's, please.
(I do have a few nice 4* stars, though, including Herc and SAlter, so I can't complain. The devastation will hit if I can't pull Scathach, who I may whale for.)
Well its not like you have any other choice for Pumpkin source (berserker monument)
Spent too much brainpower on OPTC. I usually log into both at the same time, but I guess I was slippin.
Huh, Sumanai gave me a Maid in Halloween. I'm gonna leave the last two CEs in the shop for a bit in case I get lucky again, I can't equip more than 3 due to cost restrictions anyhow.
I did pound out some exp dailies this morning since they still give me enough EXP that I can keep going due to level-ups, but that won't last forever. Just want to get Tamamo as high as I can - Herc and Tamacat are probably fine at 40 for now due to their growth curves.
I'm all caught up on guerilla/party quests now, gonna farm 30AP free quest for now I suppose.

Medusa dropped a Princess CE, which has cut my future grind time down immensely. I probably get to save my apples now as I think I can avoid the Lunatic Party withdraw loop. Still need an assload of candles, though.
I'm wondering what the strategy is behind that; there's plenty of animation updates that should be ready to go, but we keep getting the old versions, like with Drake. I assume they're going to put out a bunch of them in a big lump, because it seems crazy to space those out like they did in JP without the excuse of "we literally have to make them."

Been a good day for drops. Got all the ascension mats and Liz in the shop except for the cake one. 30 pumpkins left for the lore, 25 bats for the last Halloween Princess CE, I can start on the mats soon
I think I am doing ok grind wise. Finally got a card drop last night, got the Crystal Lore, got all the Twinkle Candies, and got a few of the Reverse Scales and other mats. Still need 3 of the Elizabeth cards and most of the mats, and if I have time I'd like to get those 4* exp cards as well. Not sure how many of the monuments I will bother with, won't mess with the pieces at all unless I have nothing else to buy. i want to keep at least a handful of Gold Fruit for Guda.
At least the long term login doesn't hard reset. You'll be forever behind by a day compared to other people, but only a day.

Dunno why it took me so long to check here. So is this place only for NA or both NA and JP?
There's people that play the JP version and post gatcha hauls and whatnot but it is primarily NA so keep chill about spoiler type stuff is all.

Cool, noted
Gaf i need a quick answer since reddit and all other sides are super confusing. I never watched the fate series. I knew what is all about, i knew this red haired guy and i thought since i like the game i should watch the anime...but how?
The net tells me to skip the 2006 version and start with 2015 fate stay night ubw and then fate/zero. But ubw makes references to earlier parts and rin talks about stuff she clearly knows but not me. Normally i like it when the protagonist knows more than me but atm it feels like i should rather watch fate/zero first? So what to do gaf?

F/Z will give you only a bit of context for UBW, which has a ton of fanservice callbacks.
If you REALLY wanted to get into Fate, I'd start with the visual novel. The visual novel is also SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT.

I mean...whether this is the answer you want or not, you could just read the VN.
It's a bit of a weird situation because of the numerous ways the source material has been adapted. The way you're watching it is good but ubw is a secondary (but very popular) route from the original visual novel and some details are skipped over both for brevity and because they assume that most people watching it are probably familiar with how things like Holy Grail Wars work at this point from existing exposure.
If you really want an entry-level experience you could play through the original Fate/Stay Night visual novel instead then watch the anime to see the same story with the much higher production values, though I wouldn't recommend it.
Just keep trekking along with your current plan as it's definitely the best way to experience the series. Wait for other adaptations like the Heaven's Feel movie for other routes or go back and play the visual novels afterwards to fill in the gaps.
Thank you all! I guess i will follow the f/sn ubw -> f/0 route and then go for the vn (would be cool if an ios port exists).
Looks like fate can be enjoyed easily on the top but if wanted you can really dig in. (Already confused because i thought archer is called emiya but than the red haired guy (who i knew because from lousy animation gifs and his sweater) was also called emiya...)
Atm im pretty sure i will enjoy this.
