She's awesome for farming.

So I got all the santa lily jalters, but how good is she really?

AOE farming Lancer with a mana burst and a charge skill. Pretty good. Though she could use a buff to her NP's attack modifier.
---

FInal sock grinding stretch, gogogo
---

I simultaneously love and hate lottery events. I'm as excited for this one to end as I am for Babylonia to drop!
---

I was thinking about farming until I ran out of apples, but I'm just gonna stick to my original goal of 100 boxes instead. This is definitely getting to be a bit too much... It's gotta be the most boxes I've farmed. Different events have different costs per box, so calculating them out:

Christmas 2017: 50 Boxes = 50000 Mats
Nerofest 2018: 113 Boxes = 67800 Mats
Christmas 2018: 100 Boxes = 80000 Mats

Will have every single Servant at max level by the end of this. All this XP makes me wish I whaled more <_<
---

Final score 1 box

Yeahhhh babay
---

I'm on track to end with 25 boxes. Not impressive in the least and probably a good bit less than I should have done all things considered but at this level of farming I never really felt like it was a huge pain. If I run low on gems in a little bit I'm just going to have to deal with it. >_>
---

Holy cow, got Caster Gil off a YOLO ticket! Super excited about that, even though he's a 4* I kind of just assumed I'd never pull him, lol.
---

(Babylonia spoilers)

Huh, they wasted no time revealing the Enkidu is a fake. And Merlin is here
---

This story is god damn fantastic. Camelot really does seem to have set the standard!
---

Def can't wait to get to Camelot and Babylonia.

I wouldn't say the story has been "bad" so far (up to London)... except maybe Rome but even that wasn't THAT bad, but I would greatly appreciate the quality bump.

Camelot is a good time (except it's super hard)
---

Hahaha, the method MC used to defeat Quetz in story is great.
---

Jaguamura Sensei's conversion was pretty much what I expected. Not disappointed in it at all.
---

umu
---

Sexy~
---

Quetz banner is tomorrow

next thursday

So they haven't announced it, but in Japan anyone who finished Babylonia before Solomon's release was gifted 30 quartz. Very likely we're getting it too, so be sure to finish the story! (Honestly quartz aside you should be playing it anyway because it's fantastic.)
---

how close am I if I just met Holmes?
---

At your rate not at all close
---

start using apples
---

Babylonia by itself takes a week of natural AP regen to finish so yeah, even if you're perfectly efficient you're going to need to start using apples if you want to clear on time. We also might be getting a 1/2 AP event for story quests during the last 5 days, assuming we're going by what Japan did, so that could help.

---

And there it is! 1/2 AP Story and 30 quartz if you beat Babylonia by next week. Let's go!
---

Part 1 finale hyyyyype! Then time for a shitload of reruns while we get Part 1.5 drip fed to us "oh."

Actually if they have any plans of even attempting to close the gap with Japan, the coming stretch would be a perfect time to do it. Will be interesting to see if our schedule changes at all in the first half of 2019.
---

get dunked on lancelot
---

welp had to command spell that is probably gonna be the end of my attempt
---

Good time to farm bond levels via the interludes and rank up quests I have leftover
---

we're watching Apocrypha and Wifebolo briefly mistook Sieg for Shizuo Heiwajima and that's a collab I need now
---

Now to grind up pages.

Shizuo instead of Sieg would make Apocrypha infinitely more entertaining.
---

Shizuo would make lots of things infinitely more entertaining
---

Finished 'Murica

My gosh people were not kidding about the Camelot difficulty spike

Even the first couple battles are quite troublesome.

Not much longer now. I'm going to attempt to get on immediately after maintenance and start rolling and farming. Will be interesting.

I'm at 430 quartz + 15 tickets, not counting the free 30. The odds are good but not great. Should be fun.
---

Merlin came home... omg I'm so happy. I actually have enough quartz left over to have a real crack at Gramps as well! Here's hoping I can pull off the dream-like back to back, but even if I do that's just pure icing on getting my sweet wizard bro to come home.~
---

Merlin get. Let the memeing commence!
---

I would have accepted no Merlin, but I wish I had gotten something. Very few gold servants in general. Maybe I'll try again before the banner ends.
---

Got a Merlin as well.
---

did not catch up in time but I got Jaguar Warrior so I'm a happy camper
---

Not only was he the last servant in my final multi I was going to do, but it was a silver > gold summon too!
---

More Merlins! We certainly have some uncommon luck when it comes to the big game banners
---

Other than Koala and I, alas. He spent 450 SQ for Merlin and didn't get any gold servants. I spent a bit less than that and got quite a few gold servants, but no Merlin, and my only 5* was a dupe Ozy (who's cool, don't get me wrong. Probably the non-limited 5* I'd be happiest to get a dupe of. But still a dupe).
---

no no no, i'm just on a 480 quartz streak with no gold servants

only spent 90 on merlin
---

Oh gosh you had a lot of us worried there.

I remember you spending big quartz in summer and your message is Musashi or Riot.
---

I can't remember who my last gold servant was before getting NP5 Hercules and Merlin in this batch.

Oh yeah, I think I got Ana from a ticket. Well I don't know who the last gold servant before THAT was
---

you can sort your servants by acquired date if you're curious
---

Flauros almost down. Vengeance for Prologue Lady.
---

her name is Olga you uncultured swine
---

Joke: Olga Marie pseudo servant

Woke: Lev Lainur pseudo servant
