Board 8 > Fate/Grand Order Topic 9: Mystic Eyes and Knives

(+) Yeah! (+)

Man I only had regular success like 1 time out of every 5-6 tried. Alexander and Diarmuid already max ascended. Kid Gilgamesh is like 200xp away from 2nd ascension and same for Lizs 2nd or 3rd I forget which. Almost got dEons first too and I still have a ton of exp cards

Hey @Shadow_Dino you wanna put an SoC on your Drake?
---

On her now.
---

Thanks man
---

I cant consistently beat the All node. If Jeanne Alter gets focused on I lose. Herc literally always has Guts activate in a single turn because enemies 1-shot him lmao >_>

can always just farm Rider node instead
---

I've skipped on farming the All node. Especially with the knowledge next event has easily farmed Evil Bones. I'm just clearing out the shop (ascension items and fous only) and stopping there. Boxes don't seem as worth as they were on Christmas.
---

I might try that. Might clear out the red gems. So how hard are these very hard Hunting Quests coming up?

Dumped 6 more SQ into Jeanne Alter banner and got 2 3* CEs I already MLBd and will likely never use. So many worthless CEs ugh

I did it


---

nice

now raise his skills to 10/10/10
---

I will! Theyre at like 7 or 8 now
---

Red gems cleared. Probably gonna ignore the blue ones and mana prisms. Not sure how much Ill grind manuscripts. The exp and mats are nice, but the grind is getting to me already

Didn't realize that the F/Z event is pretty long. It lasts 3 weeks.
---

It's a damn shame Gilles is such a poor Saber because his final ascension art is probably one of the best ones in the game.



With that, I've got everyone leveled up for the event! Except Alexander... I'm hoping to pull Iskandar, and I've got enough exp left over from lottery boxes to instantly max him if I do!
---

How much quartz you got lined up for iskandar?
---

Is Iskandar himself rollable? Dang, I blew my last quartz for Arturia. Got my first Caster Giles and second Herc though so I'm not too mad.
---

Showed some weakness and dumped 25 tickets into this Gilgamesh banner because Gilgamesh and Lancelot I both want and I kinda wanted Caster Gilles for the event.

Did get Caster Gilles at least. Also got a Black Grail and Fionn Mac Cumhaill
---

Nothing weak about desiring caster Gilles

Sitting reasonably happy at 164. I'd be glad to get him at all, but I'll be really happy if I get him without dropping too much, since I'm probably going to want to go heavy on the summer banner(s.)
---

So, I ended up getting 101 boxes in the Counterfeit event. How'd you guys make out?
---

101 boxes? Holy shit how much did you grind. I cleared 12 boxes each >_>

80-90 Gold Apples I think? Getting 24 is pretty solid.
---

I meant more play time than apples. I felt like I was playing a lot and I didnt even use anywhere near that many. That seems like several hours a day for the whole event

Ah. Well, yes, it was a lot <_<. Mostly played while watching TV/anime or at work or whatever. Tried to spread use out across the event so I didn't get hammered too much in one day.
---

I got 12 true 17 false.

Wasn't a ton of incentive to grind as I didn't care for the box rewards all that much. I just cleared the shop and then ran the demon heart stage the whole time.

And yeah 50 boxes of each is quite a lot of actual playtime for sure. I played several hours a few days to get what I got. Granted I'd get a lot more if I was actually running the most efficient stage but still.
---

I know you had it up while we played some Overwatch too. On an unrelated note these 500k HP unicorns are kinda annoying. Not party wipe annoying, but damn even a friend Okita could only take out like half the HP it has. Ive gotten a fair amount of drops from it unlike the previous stages which refused to give me anything other than gems and exp :(

eh, I had over 30 boxes before the final stage even opened. Spent a good amount of time after that in the Heart stage too.
---

Ended up at 78 boxes - 37 true and 41 fake. Burned about half of my 120-ish golden apples to do it, which I'm pretty pleased with. Normally I'm awful about grinding like that but I feel like I managed to pace it pretty well throughout the week.
---

Yeah, pacing was the key. I had it as my goal to get down to 50 Apples by the time the final node opened so it wouldn't be too crazy.
---

I have so many apples
---

Robin Hood is such a delight on tonight's hunting node.


---

Are any of these Hunts gonna be Assassin, Rider, Caster or Berserker? Wanna clear those Master Missions for my 2 quartz

Tonight's the last night for these hunting quests, so I'd say no! Fate/Zero event starts tomorrow night though and I imagine there will be plenty of chances to clear those missions there.
---

Alas, dumped 120 quartz for Iskandar and didn't get him. :(

I got spooked by Jack though so as far as I'm concerned I have no right to complain. >_> Also pulled Fran, Emiya Assassin, an NP4 worth of Hundred Persona Hassans and some nice CEs I'd been missing. Overall a very nice run but I'm sad Iskandar didn't come home. Will probably try a bit more when I get the missing quartz for one more pull plus the May tickets when they open.

Now to go crazy trying to pull Angry Mango from the friend pool and then it's finally time to start this event! I've heard it's a good one.~
---

Literally the Free Draw. No I'm not joking

It was meant to be, man
---

^ I'm more jealous than I would have been had you pulled an Iskander! All this mashing and burning for space is maddening X_X

Thanks for at least re-confirming that he's actually in the game. I'm 600k points down and was legit starting to wonder. XD
---

Yeah in some ways I wanted him more than Iskandar. He's a fun looking gimmick servant. Gotta go for that NP5. ... Okay probably won't be that lucky.
---

who even is that?

So all I really have to worry about here with teamcomp is bringing Fate/Zero characters that counter what appears in the level, right? I don't have to bring 'em if I'm not fighting the appropriate class?
---

Got EMIYA Assassin from a ticket... I don't remember him from Fate/Zero

Whats that Servant in the Friend pull?

Angra Mainyu, simultaneously the weakest and technically by far the rarest servant in the game. With some recent updates in JP though he's actually pretty decent for gimmick teams. He's also a hidden bonus servant in this event that gives a bonus to every emblem.

Guides for the event since folks were looking for them:

Well 200k~ friend points so far and uh guess I can NP5 Kid Gil and Diarmuid now. Why do they gotta make even a free card so stupidly rare. Like and hate this game at the same time...so many of the same 3* CEs too. So sick of seeing Shinjis face.

I think ~1.6M FP is the average to get him?
---

Started with 1.3 million FP and I'm down to 21k with no Angry Mango. Here we go, it's the final countdown!

Edit: Nope. :(

Thats absurd. I dont even really use my FP and didnt even have over 400k. Getting one million must take ages.

spent 1.2 mil and failed
---

Nice to be in good company, I guess. He'll come some day. :(

Anywho this event's story seems really god damn cool, though it does rely pretty heavily on having seen Fate/Zero.
---

Havent seen F/Z at all. Also saw people failing to pull him with 2M friend points on the FGO board so you guys arent alone. If something free is that rare it might as well not even exist tbh
