The Hunting Quest ended up being useful for me for all days. I used up all my gold and silver apples in the process. There are still hundreds of bronze apples but converted to gold apples, it’s only a bit over 27 so I don’t want to use too much of them.

Illya event has started… which is just a banner and some strengthening quests. The buff for Illya and Miyu are quite good though. And I have both of them albeit at only NP1. Miyu is especially better the higher her NP level is.

I’m not rolling for the banner though apart of the daily 1 paid SQ summon. Summer is coming soon.

NA

Unfortunately pre-release campaign for Gilfes only happened this week and the actual event starts next Friday. That’s two days off from my initial guess.

There’s nothing to do here apart of just farming some QP. More QP is more good. I could use some other farming but I’m just tired of the shit drop rate.

I’m saving my effort for the upcoming event. As usual I’m aiming for around 100 boxes. It’s annoying the previous year CEs can’t be reused.

Morgan banner! I went for broke and spent quite a lot to get her to NP3. I’ll continue on the daily paid SQ roll for her hoping for more NP.

Oh and I spent a bit more for Oberon later and finally got him after 252 rolls total. That was rather brutal and mental draining overall. I don’t even like him that much.

I also got a third Caster Gilgamesh, two more Fairy Tristan, one Percival, one Nightingale, and one Osakabehime along the way. That Osakabehime was a nice surprise.

I hope there isn’t anything else interesting coming up the rest of this year…

…well, summer event is coming up next month so maybe I need to hold up for a bit more.

In the meantime I’ll be doing more QP and exp card farming. Too bad there’s no hunting quest or rerun. I doubt there will be anything next week… or will there?

NA

I got four Okita Summer total. That was weird. Also annoying there’s no Lambda along the way. Nor Bunnytoria but I don’t care much about her. At least it wasn’t 6 Bunnytoria (and one Okita) like in JP two years ago.

I don’t know if I’ll retry for Lambda next year. Or maybe I will when trying to get NP5 Okita… if I have sufficient SQ by then.

The summer event itself has ended few days ago. I’ve cleared the whole thing since last week and have been just farming for QP since. Now I think about it I don’t think there’s many event which farming nodes give out a lot of QP.

As it’s over I’ve been farming for fangs. I need fangs. A lot of them. Also other mats like eggs.

Now I wrote it I realized I should switch to farming eggs so I can max Godjuna skills first. It doesn’t help I spent two eggs to unlock Salter’s Shinjuku costume.

The Salter costume was a pretty nice surprise and is way earlier compared to JP (it was February 2020). The strengthening also helped farming Camelot event quest.

Anyway, that’s it and I have no idea when the next event, loot box, will start. My guess would be pre-event campaign this Friday and then finally the event next week (or Wednesday following week).

I completely drained off my SQ but thankfully as I mentioned last week there’s nothing I’m particularly interested in coming up until Castoria which is still about 10 months away. Should be enough time to gather 1000 SQ.

More new servants! Also the pickup banner. I rolled on Valkyrie banner and got one early on. I did some more but didn’t yield anything. There was just nothing afterwards. The total was 84.

I then did 12 rolls on Sekitoba banner but didn’t get him at all. Instead I got more Koyanskaya.

And lastly on Sitonai banner, I did 16 rolls. First I got even more Koyanskaya on 7th roll then decided to just roll on and thankfully got Sitonai on the 15th. 16th was the one paid roll thing – a second Sitonai would be nice.

Another banner came up on Wednesday. It’s Oberon banner. I rolled for him as 70% NP charge would be pretty convenient. Unfortunately I didn’t get him at all and ended up spending the remaining of my quartz. The total is 90 rolls so far. I still have plenty of paid quartz so I’ll be doing one roll a day. Hopefully he’ll eventually come up. I don’t think I’ll use any more quartz or tickets otherwise. I have 24 at the moment after clearing quests and there are a few more from interludes and strengthening quests.

The outlook for summer sure is rather grim.

Oh, along the way I got not-Kaleidoscope, Liangyu, a fifth Fairy Gawain, and a second Carmilla.

I also rolled friend point gacha a bunch of times and got Habetrot to NP4.

As for the main quest itself, most of them are relatively simple.

The exception is of course the Cernunnos quest. That one is quite difficult. From what I gather people either use Himiko for long term battle or one very high damage servant buffed to the max.

I initially tried the latter but my MHXX didn’t have enough damage and it was too reliant on card draws so I then tried the Himiko method.

It worked but it still took a lot of very careful planning to pull off. I can’t even imagine how to clear it with low rarity servants. Even with welfare servants thrown in. I’m looking forward to see how this guy do it. And maybe replicate it on NA in two years.

Apparently I forgot to mention it last week but I managed to clear Demeter memorial quest using low rarity servants.

The strategy is pretty simple, clear the first bar with Lu Bu and then finish the rest with Ushiwakamaru. Alexander is required to clear the stupid def buff and Hans is the usual support.

As for Kirschtaria, I don’t quite remember how I did it. I don’t think the front line ended up doing anything and got blasted off first turn.

I did need help from a support Castoria but otherwise I think it was just having Euryale shoot her NP as often as possible.

NA

As planned, I rolled a bit on first day Bunnytoria/Okita/Lambda banner. I somehow got two Okita so I threw everything I have on that banner.

…and got jack shit. 155 rolls so far. I’ll do a bit more as I get tickets and quartz from daily login but otherwise I’ve spent everything I have. Including the tickets from clearing Prison Tower.

On the brighter side, I don’t have anything I really want until anniversary next year for Castoria. There’s also Kama right before it (or maybe afterwards due to anniversary date difference).

Back on the event, it’s mostly done and I’m now just finally spending the fever tickets for those QP.

Challenge quest was pretty easy as I went easy mode using solo Merlin. I’ve got him maxed and command coded and he cleared it without much difficulty.

The 50M QP quest on the other hand, ended up just taking a long time to finish.

Cu with event CE, Mash with def CE, and support Merlin with… Bella Lisa. Mine wasn’t maxed at this time so I had to borrow from support. This ended up stupidly simple as I only now realized that while they fire NP left and right, the damage isn’t that big. And as long Arjuna’s instant death isn’t triggered, it’s just a matter of looping Mash and Merlin’s NP. The last one took quite a long time because her class is Ruler. I should’ve equipped Mash with event CE as well.

FGO gacha in a nutshell

JP

Anniversary! GSSR! And I rolled the banner which has Skadi in it! And I actually got her. That was nice. I finally have all the main support for each card types.

The guaranteed SR was Chiron. Could be better (Valkyrie, Fujino, Parvati, Danzou) but just getting Skadi is already a major win to me.

Now I’m free to choose whatever I like for the next GSSR that’s not Caster. Yay.

As for the free SSR, I got Tamamo for even more Arts support. I considered Sitonai and Artoria as well but went with completing support lineup for now.

All that’s left is farming some QP and caster stones and a lot of bones. By “a lot” I mean 161 of them. Also seeds. Thankfully I’ve got enough dusts and everything else… I think.

Oh I also rolled Koyanskaya and got one after 64 rolls. I’ll probably do a bit more during Valkyrie rate up day. As for the mats to level her up, just like Tamamo, I don’t have remotely enough either.

Meanwhile on the new servant coin thing, I unlocked skill 2 for a bunch of servants. I’m missing a lot of mats to properly level them up though. Also I don’t have any grails to even start leveling anyone (probably Okita) to 102+. I’m also still halfway getting Morgan to 100 (currently 94).

Looks like there are some more interesting development on the latest release of Le Fay chapter.

NA

On Sunday, got Merlin in 77 rolls. Also got spooked by Helena along the way. Also a bunch of Siegfrieds. Also one Ozymandias (now NP2).

That was overall pretty amazing roll. The extra Ozy wasn’t expected but sure is nice. He’ll definitely be useful for a lot of quests.

And lastly I did more rolls for Musashi and Osakabehime (and Carmilla). And got another Musashi Summer after 66 rolls, 11 last of which was mistakenly done using multis instead of singles. I also got Scheherazade along the way which was also not expected. Oh, and there’s Osakabehime as well. Thank god it wasn’t Carmilla. Neither are exactly useful though.

All those new servants are nice and all but I’ve got no resources to raise them all. At least the next event should be Lottery Box event. At less than 50 golden apples I should be able to hit a bit over 100 boxes.

I’m not quite done rolling yet though. There’s still Okita Summer and Lambdalilith. The plan is 11 rolls during first rate up where both are included, then another 11 during Lambdalilith banner, and finally all I have during Okita… up to NP2. I don’t think I’ll go for NP5. If I still have any sq remaining, I’ll then go on to Lambdalilith solo until NP2 of her. And if somehow I still have any left, I’ll throw the rest to the banner which has both of them.

I will most likely end up scraping for sq in interlude and strengthening quests.

As for the event itself, I’m up to date to the latest available quest. I still need to farm for item shop. Mainly gold and bronze. For some reason I’ve cleared the silver items (sans pieces).
