Weekly FGO vol. 109

JP

I’m almost done with the event.

That said, I took easy path for the challenge quest. I’ll try that with something smarter if I can find time to.

It’s nothing 3T or NP spam or anything advanced like that. Letting Ozy spam his NP ad infinitum while protected by Castoria and Merlin cleared it just fine.

The quest is relatively easy so I shouldn’t need all that much power in the first place.

Anyway, apart of that, all that’s left for me is farming some event items. I’m rather behind at the moment and I’m not sure if I can clear it without using gold or silver apples. I’ll hold back until two or one day before end of the event which then I’ll use the apples accordingly.

NA

Apparently LB5 is coming up before Christmas here? It kinda makes sense although it also means another thing NA doing in different order compared to JP.

Apart of that, I’m still farming for mana prism. With a bit of other quests to clear the Thanksgiving missions.

Oh and I did 10 rolls for Okita (and got nothing) and then another 36 rolls for Reines. Thankfully for Reines roll I did get her and an extra Kaleidoscope along the way.

That’s a lot of rolls lost regardless so I don’t know if I’ll roll for Orion and others in the coming months until Castoria.

Diagnosing Windows Standby Problem

I’ve been having problem waking up my PC from standby. The mindless fix would be to reinstall windows and pray but I figured I should try something before resorting to that this time.

I started with the easiest way first: unplug all external devices except mouse and keyboard and monitor.

Standby worked well so I went on plugging everything back in one by one. The problem turned out to be the Xbox Wireless Adapter. Its driver has been mildly unstable and I’ve been trying to fix BSOD it occasionally causes.

In that other fix attempt, I disabled the driver option for it to be turned off to save power. I turned it back on and my PC can still resume from standby.

Cool. Now the question is will the BSOD come back.

Gudaguda after Gudaguda! Yay. The best new servant is thankfully a welfare. Her lines are rather questionable when taken out of context.

The story is still slowly unlocked every day. I think it should be ending soon? Although the talk from yesterday kinda indicates there may be some raid event involved. I have some apples but I want to save them for Christmas box gacha. Maybe if it’s got some mats I desperately need at the moment I’ll do some farm until I gathered just enough. I’m still heavily lacking skill stones and raids don’t give them out.

As for that Angra Mainyu up there, I ended up with a total of five of him when rolling for exp CE cards in friend gacha. I wish I got some SSR from paid gacha instead. One more Okita would’ve been nice so I don’t need to farm her bonds.

NA

Dead month is dead. Some login bonus stuff and that’s it. gems and tickets are nice and according to my list there is nothing for me to roll until castoria next year so that’s what I’ll do. Or maybe 11 rolls for Voyager and Kama each during their respective event.

Oh and Okita is coming up soon as well. Maybe another 11 there although I don’t think I’ll get her to 120 in NA but instead try for Morgan.

In the meantime, I’m farming for mana prisms. I still need a lot of them. At least 5000 more of them.

Cleared the event. The challenge quest was relatively easy. First get rid of Nobukatsu and then finish Nobbu.

The raid ended up pretty quickly.

A bunch of random daily bonus is ongoing as well which is nice, I guess?

And lastly during the daily paid gacha, I got one Himiko. Yay?

NA

Wow nothing. There are some daily bonus thing and that’s all.

I couldn’t do much hunting quest either due to saving apples.

It’s a Seagate

I’ve had enough bad experiences with hard drives from various manufacturers the brand stop mattered to me. The return procedure is still relevant though and so far Toshiba is the cheapest with them paying for the return shipping.

That said, I had problem with Toshiba recently with their MN06ACA800 being very slow on resilver. Thankfully their previous version is fine and I got mine all exchanged. I don’t think I’ll be touching them for a while though.

It has been a while since I bought Seagate drive with the previous one being a cheap Barracuda (SMR) 4TB. It has been since sold (still working) and the later purchases have been either WD or Toshiba.

With three of my WD dead recently, I had to replace one of them after downgrading from 6 drives RAIDZ2 to 4 drives and thus got this Seagate thing.

No problem so far and resilvering was as fast as expected.

I don’t remember last time getting this hard plastic HDD case. I didn’t even know it still exist. I thought it has all been replaced with antistatic bag and bubble wraps.

Gudaguda Himiko. CE exp cards from FP gacha. I’ve spent over 2M on it and got quite a few of them now. Also some Saber Lily and Habetrot and Angra Mainyu. And of course a lot of Nobukatsu. I’ve got almost 2000 servant coin of him now.

Meanwhile on the event itself, there isn’t much interesting. The raid started out pretty badly with the server barely responding. Half of the Nobbus being down just in few hours isn’t helping either. At least the one I’m farming for, Dark Nobbu, isn’t very popular. I don’t have many apples so I can’t farm much either anyway.

As for random rolls, for some reason I ended up with three Napoleon. And 0 Jeanne Summer after 59 rolls. That was mildly annoying but my current recorded SSR servant rate is 53 out of 4714 rolls so it’s kinda expected, I guess?

NA

Dead week is dead. There’s hunting quest but there’s nothing I particularly needed at the moment so I’m just farming with natural AP.

I sure wonder what event will be after this.
