Turns out that Waver took in a Chinese Footballer.

When is the next event that has a CE you can get from friend summons? I only have one reindeer CE so I'm wondering if I should spend some of the tons of points I have now trying for more to make the 10AP stage farm faster

Saber Wars? Should be starting in 3 or 4 weeks I'd guess
---

After a lot of inner searching I finally figured out which of my favorites to devote real materials to



Unfortunately he needs hearts to raise his skills above 4 so I'm afraid those will be stuck there for a while
---

Yeah, Herc needs a lot of hearts

I thought GANON was too good for skills and was going to keep every servant at 1/1/1
---

I was too good for skills until this event gave me a lot of skill gems.

The Count of Monte Cristo looks really good
---

Wish Limited Shiki wasn't so bad.
---

Event ends in 1.5 hours

Haven't gotten REMOTELY the farming I probably should have done. Real shame considering how much these boxes can set you up if you bother. Looks like I'll end somewhere around 14-15 boxes cleared.
---

I didn't even clear 10, but I got all the stuff I wanted from the shop so I'm good

I'll probably reach 14. Really wish there was a bigger spin option than 10. Could use a 50 spin at least.
---

I made a goal to use all 50 of my golden apples I had coming into the event, on top of the dozen apples the event gave.

It took like 10 hours of playing while watching movies/TV over the weekend but I did it

I hate myself do not do this ever.

Now to see how long it takes to spend these 16000 stockings. Technically I could get a few more thousand by spending bronze apples but no thank you.
---

For everyone who'll be spending thousands of stockings once the event is over, it might be worth checking out if your phone has some kind of accessibility setting for an auto-press on the roll button.
---

Looks like I'll be ending at around 20 boxes
---

I'm going to have THIRTY EIGHT boxes clear once I spend these btw.
---

Christ, Lopen, lol. At least your suffering will be worth something - your exp stock and supply of gems will be the envy of the board for quite some time. >_>
---

I've still got 81 gold apples >_>

Now you know how MWC felt when he blew his entire mythril stockpile during an orbfest one time in Record Keeper for whatever reason.

Except at least you didn't blow the in-game premium currency doing so.
---

My hope is to get Max Limit Break Mona Lisa without grinding the Exp Stage much

Each box gives 46 Mana Prisms if I sell the 3*s so I'm still gonna have like 2000 to go unfortunately.
---

20000 Stockings. Will have 50 boxes cleared. Whew
---

I didn't finish enough boxes to max NP Santa, lol >_>

but I did get a CE, all the turkey, and a few Serpent Jewels, on top of tons of usefulish junk, so I'm counting that as a win
---

I got NP5 Santa Alter, bought all of the CEs and Bucket of Chickens from the shop, and got the Crystallized Lore from the box. So I'm good on this event.
---

150 Second Archive slots filled with 4* Gold EXP
31 unclaimed gifts of 3-4 Gold EXP each
About 150 Gold EXP cards in inventory

Every servant I want to use to max level possible right now-- hell I even have Orion at 60 cause why not

I'm sure this EXP will disappear in no time once I get the Chaos Claws to ascend Scathach and the Meteor Horseshoes to ascend Altera but you know, it's cool having it for now.
---

got to 10 boxes, cleared everything i really wanted, got the CE to drop once, still have a good 40 golden apples. it seemed painful to grind through all of them, i'm not sure what the point of that much struggle is. like yeah the goodies are nice but it's just draining.

but congrats on your Mona Lisa CE, i guess.
---

It's definitely not worth it-- had I not made the arbitrary goal to consume all apples I probably would've stopped at half the boxes I opened.

Of course reading the mobile games chat I may not even be top 3 on grinders in this topic.
---

this grind was still better than lunatic party

that thing was way more disheartening

Yeah

Lunatic Party can burn in hell

This was actually pretty fun until I did 10 hours over the period of 3 days-- it doesn't take full attention but even half or quarter attention for that amount is pretty soul sucking. Until that point the rewards were pretty satisfying-- and the fights were better too. I still kinda enjoy trying to optimize kill speed in this game which helps the grindy stuff a bit.
---

I got really into this event (relative to my casual-ness) for some reason! The roulette format was fun and I feel like it was easy to get useful stuff
---

I liked it, and I especially thought the little story was fun, but the 40 AP stage took a little too much thought to do to really get into grinding it for me.
---

I got to the 12th box which was more than enough for me. Got everything I wanted to get anyways
---

I got close to about 20 boxes

Would have done more, but Xenoblade 2 arrived to my house the same day Santa Alter did so it kind of took a backseat. Still got one shishou skill up to 10 thanks to all of the plumes from 40 AP (as well as the skill gems from the boxes, of course)

also my Jeanne will be 90 and my Orion will probably get to around 60 once I finish spending all my stockings
---

Will I be able to Grail Mash at some point? I'm still not sure who's gonna get my grails :\

Was gonna do Mozart but I didn't like him as much as I expected and he's also still stuck at 40 >_> But everybody else I'm particularly attached to is pretty rare, and I am under the impression that's kinda a waste. Maybe I'll do David or something.
---

it's only a waste if you're not grailing your true waifus/husbandos tbqh
---

y'know you're right I'm not sure why I would pick this single aspect to become a powergamer

Nero it is then! (unless Arturia shows up at some point)
---

---

40 AP became easy and relatively mindless once I got Santa. Basically I just put Heaven's Feel on her and built her meter to 100%, then her + Darius could autokill the third wave with two NPs

If we didn't get Santa or her NP wasn't as good I wouldn't have done as much I don't think.
---

Mash can't be Grailed, no. They might give her the option in the distant future, but it seems unlikely at this point?

For most Servants, the ideal is the Grail them to 90. After that the gains from Grailing are much smaller. Up to you though. I feel like I might never use all my Grails since I'm always so hesitant to use them. The next Servant I'd want to Grail is like...Ibaraki Douji?
---

Mash is really good without grails anyway.

Is this accounting for her Camelot upgrades or something? I benched her forever ago because of how thoroughly unimpressive she is, and she'd probably never come off the bench again if her 0 cost wasn't handy for certain servant/CE combos that are too costly otherwise.
---

she becomes one of, if not the best, 4* units once she gets all her upgrades, yes

they're just story locked
---

just gotta wait for that Mash Alter to grail...!
---

Yeah she becomes one of the best Servants eventually once her max level's increased to 70.
---

I wish it would happen faster so Mash could be back on my team.

That's really awesome to hear! She's fun as a character so it's been a little sad to have her sit on the bench while everyone else shows her up.
