Which high cost quests are most efficient during event?

I'll need to burn all my AP in the morning before work so I can't use 5ap all the time.

How do y'all level your servant skills? Do you go all in on one or do you level all 3 evenly or what?

Haven't used a single gem yet.

Blue gems are super easy to get so I bought everything I could with them on servants I use. Then red ones I had less so I just got damage buff skills , higher levels which require ascension materials I'm not doing them for now.

 

[T-Rex.]

If you have to choose then Altera is the way to go since Emiya has comparatively little stat gains in his last 10 levels.

Yeah, but who cares about stats? Emiya <3

Thank you for the helpful answers, all! The events having stories mean that I've got to look out for them. Is there any way to easily get notified about those? The News section in the game itself doesn't even mention the upcoming Moon event at all.

So I did the tutorial roll and the quartz roll afterwards and got a five star Altera as well as four stars Lancelot, Carmila and Bathory. As I understand it, higher stars don't necessarily mean better, but that's a solid enough team, right? You mentioned Heracles as the one to have for content clearing, avrophantasm, so I have half a mind to do the rerolling thing. But getting four rare characters from the get go seems lucky enough that I'm afraid to push it.

Stick with that account. You've just gotten an absurdly lucky roll + Good Characters.

Regarding how lucky your pull was...the pull rates are as follows 5* -> 1% Chance, 4* -> 3% Chance.

 

[Hentailover]

Hoarding everything for Jack the Ripper whenever she is released, probably wont get anything

*high fives*

Literally have no reason to roll for anything before her, that I don't have on my jpn accounts.

Cutest. I'll waste all on her on another Tamamo, whichever comes first.

Yes I agree.

That's a damn good roll, I would definitely keep that account. Be sure to create a bind code in My Room for recovery purposes.

 

[Sephend]

Totally missed this getting a localized release after it being out in Japan for so long without one. I missed out on the early stuff but whatever, I'm enjoying myself.

Spoiler

I'm actually really miffed I missed a chance at Gilgamesh apparently

Got Emiya and Heracles on my tutorial pull and worked my way through France. Hoarding quartz for now. I know Craft Essences are a big part of the game but it still feels kinda bad to me even on the free pulls to get 9/10 and only 1 servant.

 

[elty]

Got the assassin and rider gem, so 3/7 master mission done.

Not sure if I should farm some saber gem before Moon goddess hits.

Assuming you run the 5AP event stage over and over again, you'll get tons of Saber gems.

 

[Pejo]

Bah I need 1 more chimera talon thing before Dango event starts. I'm 250~ ish AP into it with no drop, surely it has to come soon. I probably am making a huge mistake and should just farm master mission stuff, but oh well.

 

[elty]

Where do you farm for it?

 

[Remembrance]

Where do you farm for it?

When it's not Friday, only in Germania.

I have also spent two whole bars of AP today on that and have just a lot of bones to show for it.

 

[Semblance]

The claw drop rate for Germania is preeetty terrible. At least the Friday daily has coughed up a couple for me.

Agreed, it's bad, but I just need 1 more, then I can get Vlad to Ascension 3 and level 80. Plan on using him for the upcoming event.

I need 1 more to ascend Cu for the event.

Planned to get the claw and then farm lancer XP today. As a result, no doubt the claw will not drop until just before dailies rotate.

Events are not very consistently announced yet. Either they don't announce them on social media or they don't announce them in-game.

So you have a very powerful team to start right now. Altera for frontline damage and endurance, Lancelot for extremely powerful AoE and farming even at early levels (you'll want to find a CE to boost his starting NP, ASAP), Elizabeth for support, and Carmilla for class advantage in chapter 1.

Heracles is used for his extremely powerful single-target NP against bosses. Carmilla's NP is actually pretty close to that, if you can level her up (her materials are hard to get right now), but she won't output damage the same way outside of that.

Still, that's all you're missing, and you can easily use Herc and Vlad supports until you get someone of your own to fill that role.

 

[Pureauthor]

Stupid ghosts in Mt Etna don't want top drop their stupid gems.

I got a Ghost Lantern before seeing a single gem. That's not how it's supposed to work, dammit.

Yup yup, she will be a critical star machine.

 

[RSchmitz]

I'd love to have Jack but I have to save for Jalter.
I'll just hope she casually spooks me.

 

[br0ken_shad0w]

So I am interested in playing this just for the story mode. Perhaps that's a bit silly, but somebody described it as some kind of a Kingdom Hearts: Historical Characters Edition and, well, how could I resist that.

So in light of that, I have a few questions:

If I got decent characters from the start, would I be able to use them all the way through, or would they become obsolete and then I am forced gamble for newer, stronger characters?

I read that there are a Moon Goddess Event coming up. Do these events usually have story to them?

Regarding the main story, while I haven't gotten there yet, people have said the story does get progressively better starting from Chapter 4 onwards. Just saying this in case the beginning isn't doing anything for you (or for anyone wondering for that matter).

 

[michaelius]

I've got 4 Dragon Fangs today

Only 1 more for my Altria

Spoiler

and then 15 more for Elisabeth

 

[T-Rex.]

I'd love to have Jack but I have to save for Jalter.

You've been saving from the start iirc, how many quartz are you at now? I was planning on saving everything for Jalter myself, but she's too far away and there's Drake and Scathach before that so eh.

 

[RSchmitz]

I'd rather not say because I am kinda afraid of the account recover system they use. But I botched it and rolled for Gil. At least I got him.

I think I can survive until Jalter now. Be strong!

Saving everything for Jack, hope I get her...

Spoiler

I probably won't. ;_;

Good luck! Finally got my last claw. All the xp cards I had saved up only got Vlad to 72 >_>

Time to hit the xp daily.

 

[elty]

When does the event start? Is it Thursday 00:00 EDT / Wednesday 21:00 PDT?

 

[x-Lundz-x]

I probably won't. ;_;

Don't worry you can have my shoulder to cry on when we both have to drink our sorrows away

 

[Remembrance]

Got nothing all day, and now it's time to farm monuments again.

Well, I'll just have to use someone else.

 

[chrono01]

Judging from past events, I believe it'll be Wednesday at 21:00 PDT, but I could be wrong on that.

Don't worry you can have my shoulder to cry on when we both have to drink our sorrows away

At least I won't be alone.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Decent luck with daily drops after the cycle change. 4 runs, 1 monument each for the knight classes.

I still need like at least 6 more saber monuments though.

 

[Scrooge McDuck]

Thank you very much for the combat advice, Remembrance!

Regarding how lucky your pull was...the pull rates are as follows 5* -> 1% Chance, 4* -> 3% Chance.

Oh wow, yay. I've probably used all my luck up, then, and would be miserable for the rest of my FGO tenure.

That's a damn good roll, I would definitely keep that account. Be sure to create a bind code in My Room for recovery purposes.

Alright, thanks for the tip. I just need to keep this code somewhere safe, right?

Regarding the main story, while I haven't gotten there yet, people have said the story does get progressively better starting from Chapter 4 onwards. Just saying this in case the beginning isn't doing anything for you (or for anyone wondering for that matter).

Yar, I have a pretty low standard for story, so as long as the premise is interesting and there's no really really dumb moments I'd generally be entertained, haha.

 

[Hubb]

Needing 12 monuments is suffering, but the feathers are worse for me. I can usually get at least 1 monument for the class I want per day, but I haven't gotten a feather drop since nero fest (which I only got 1 during).

 

[vareon]

I have enough Saber Monuments to ascend Nero to 60... or I can wait to ascend Altria when I have 9 more Dragon Fangs, which might take a million years at this rate. Decisions, decisions.

 

[Articalys]

It is remarkably impressive that they still haven't posted anything about the event to the in-game news.

[Articalys]

Aaaaanyway, complaints towards how they're running the game aside, is there any real reason to do the final ascension for servants with the type of leveling curve that flattens out at the end, except for the final card art?

To make people keep picking yours over other people's for support.

If you want to grail it, you'll need to max cap it anyway. And don't the stats go up linearly for everyone at that point when using grails?

 

[Azusa]

Yes. When you grail stats gains are linear for all servants.

It is remarkably impressive that they still haven't posted anything about the event to the in-game news.

What? Its in the news. They post news at the same time every time.
I dont know why you think that support is bad. They keep posting news and inform us about event way before it starts.

 

[Pureauthor]

They mean the actual ingame news panel that opens every time you boot the game up.

And there is indeed an update now, but it was added today.

Yeah, I guess that's true. Was kind of a stupid question anyway; I think I rather meant to ask "doesn't the priority for a 4th ascension in those cases go way down compared to others?"

 

[Kenai]

I dunno if it will help you decide, but there's some dragon fangs which I think? are farmable in the Dango event. And Halloween event has 20 in the event store thingy. Halloween has a bunch of Saber monuments too.
