When your servants reach max level, you can use grails to increase their level cap beyond their normal limit, essentially allowing lower rarity servants to get similar stats to higher rarity ones.
Lower rarity servants, even when grailed, will still end up as slightly weaker (when it comes to raw stats) than higher rarity ones, though.
well stop being a fucking moron :^)

How many levels a grail gives also changes depending on the current level.
Yep. It's 5 levels per grail until level 90, unless it's a 1*, in which case the 1* will get ten levels for the first grail.
They try pretty hard to encourage using grails on lower-tier servants over 4*s and 5*s. Makes sense, IMO. (I'm definitely grailing Bunyan when she gets over here...)

Guess I'm using it on Cu then rather than Gil or Waver.
Grail who you want to, I view it more as a 'i want to show off who my favorite character is' anyway.
Noticed earlier someone on my friends list grailed Ushi to 90.
I respect it.
it ain't easy, let me tell you

Medusa's pretty decent, just her Monstrous Strength and stun alone keep her from being subpar. Her post-strengthening skill is fantastic, too.
She's not super standout like Cu, David, Euryale and Robin, but she's pretty good, especially when you need to clear out groups of Casters.
Due to how easy it is to NP5 a 3 star, her NP actually outdamages several 4 and 5 star servants (unless you manage to NP up them), too.

I've been working on the same thing for weeks.
It took an eternity just to get my first five saber monuments, but I got almost all the way there off of the old dailies alone. Altera is fully ascended and Chevalier is 8 monuments away.
Levelling up skills is going to be fairly awful for a little while, but when the first events that genuinely give skill gems start hitting it'll be easy enough to max a 3 star servant's skills.
Aside from two servants, one of whom only wins by 5% and the other is considered one of the best servants in the game, Medusa has the most accurate stun that doesn't have any restrictions on it, and both of those are more than a year away. Stuns are *insanely* powerful and fairly rare.

Just used my Okeanos grail on Cu to get him to 90. I'm only going to use grails to get my favorite 3 and 4 star servants to 90. Those last 10 levels seem not worth it when you could gain a wide variety of useful level 90 servants. Next grails will probably go to Saber Alter, then Anne&Mary. Gotta save some down the road for Kiritsugu though.

Waver gets almost 0 benefits from Grailing anyway. People want him for his skills (and NP), not his ATK, and he already has decent bulk.
Even fully ascending him seems like a bit of a waste since he is only gaining like 100 HP /Attack between 80 to 90.
It's good for friend points though. I've also read that some people grail servants only once so they show up higher in the friend list.
(this is a terrible idea, do not do this)

I got one whole Octuplet Crystal on the 30 AP Berserker daily, which is the most I've ever gotten as a drop! Just 5 more and I can Ascend Nero a second time! ... :')
In other news, ever since I fully Ascended Emiya I've been getting Friend Requests from really beefed up players alongside the newbie Mash accounts. Which is nice, but I'm afraid he's false advertising, because the rest of my Support Setup is full of commons. Gudao is me.

Finally:
I still need a ton more for Lancelot and Tamamo ascensions.

This is me. I can't level up anyone anymore. Not sure what I need to do now, honestly. It's not like getting the stone things is easy. Not sure where to even get them, because they drop so infrequently. This sucks....
The 'stone things'?
If you mean the class pieces, they drop from the respective class daily at a very high rate. They also drop in various free quests but the rates are usually trash.

Could also be referring to Octuplet Crystals or Ygg Seeds.
I need those, plus some fang things and some jewel or something. I don't have one of them, so I have no idea where they drop.
Dragon Fangs drop commonly from Wyverns, the best spot to farm them now is on the island of wyverns in Okeanos, they have a 50~% drop rate per run so they're very doable to obtain in lower volumes.
If by jewels you mean Serpent Jewels, they drop less commonly from Lamias in the Sunken Rock Seas, at about 16% per run.
Finished Okeanos. Definitely better than Septem, but still below Orleans. Drake was a fun companion, and Euryale, Asterios, and Artemis had their bright points. Still don't match Jeanne/Marie though.
Antagonists were also below Jeanne/Gilles, though there were some bright spots. Teach and his crew were lame or annoying. Jason was unimpressive, though I guess he was supposed to be that way. Heracles got the build up he deserves at least. Hektor was the best. Suave with the sense that he'd be better in different circumstances. Medea I guess was technically the real villain? She was alright, but she needed more screen-time to explain her motivations. She wanted to destroy the world for Jason? And the real Medea got involved with the bad guys? Might be one of those things that is elaborated later.

Managed to get 3 claws today. These go directly into my Scathach ascension fund (since I'll obviously be able to summon her easily).

Now do it again 4 more times!

Might help explain things a bit
she knew this was her future with him, I guess heroic spirits are "aware" of their entire life regardless of when they were summoned, and Medea is quite vindictive in all forms. If she was willing to murder her own children just to spite him in the actual play, then allying herself with Forneus to crush the world he dreamed of into nothingness seems par the course (if extreme to the max)
Same here. Lancelot's ascension materials are expensive. Scales and claws...
I still need one more scale for Gil. Hopefully I can get it today.

You know what, he was the real villain here.
I mean, stun-locking multiple party members every turn and stalling the fight out until he wipes everyone with his NP...
And then you summon your own copy and the stun never procs.
I'm actually liking the fact that the new dailies make me feel as if I should be raising more sub-servants.
It felt mostly fine to get that 1 solid servant per type before, and then just use a berserker to fill in Gap 2, and the 3rd slot would be an appropriate friend.
Now, though... I want 2 matching classes of my own for each of these themed item-spawning dailies. The new enemies deal SO much damage with their large HP bars to servants that aren't their opposites.

Its probably worthwhile to at least ascend pretty much everyone once, if only for the interludes with quartz that pretty much everyone has for their first one (barring a handful). And its cheap.
I know there's some events or stuff later that also makes it useful to have a full team of a class for drop purposes, so its worthwhile. And besides, you never know who may turn out to be useful!
I'm actually getting pretty good usage out of my Cursed Arm Hassan. I may even grail him to 3*.
Just the EXP cards themselves still feel somewhat expensive to me, ATM. And every time I saw cheap drops to lvl up a 1 or 2 star, I used to wonder why I'd ever want to use those hard-to-obtain items on something that wasn't a 3* or above.
I heard about the future drop events, but that all sounds like "far in the distant future!" stuff. The new dailies took me by surprise, feel wise. It's been pretty good, and definitely makes the game feel more worth dedicating time to.
I do love that usefulness doesn't at all seem tied to rarity stars, and how grails can close the gaps for lower characters. Now I wanna look into more low-stars to pet-project up to some absurd levels. Medusa would have been a first pick, but now with having Drake and Mary, I feel like pushing ANOTHER Rider up would be a large waste, and dilution of resources.
*research is needed!*

Somebody doesn't have a maxed out Carmilla
This is way better than Carmilla's actual artwork in the game lol
Carmilla fucks them up if you have her, because she specializes in killing females and that means Marie is toast.
Alternatively, just bring two of Vlad, Herc, or Kintoki and chain their NPs with a def down debuff from the many Servants who can apply that debuff to melt her.
She's not the problem, getting to her is the problem.
Or maybe a team of Waver and two Berserkers isn't a good idea here. :/
I'm running with Waver and two grailed Herc. Having no problem at all.
And dragon in the daily is a myth, I haven't seen one after 3 runs.
I wish they at least TRIED to make her look like Elizabeth. They're supposed to be the same character, but don't look anything alike.

I hope you're using my Herc. I use yours whenever I see it! Yours is NP2, I wish I could get another one and glue them together ;_;
Shirou doesn't actually look anything like his Counter Guardian incarnation either...
Well yeah, I assume having two grailed Hercs wouldn't cause any issue at all. Running Waver, Tamamo Cat (70), and Kintoki (70) and it's not cutting it. Well, if I want to get enough NP for the final encounter that is.
