Is Centaur Island in Okeanos really the only place to grind Meteoric Horseshoes? I'm pretty sure that droprate can be considered a crime against humanity

Wiki says that after clearing the Camelot Gate Free Quest, a better place is unlocked (looks like scorched ground).

After finally getting my 2nd horseshoe after 40 runs I am faced with the heartbreaking truth... Asterios last ascension needs 4 more of those fuckers.

Sadly Camelot is a bit out of the question for my diverse and battle-tested servant line-up, consisting of a lvl32 Mashu and a lvl44 Asterios.

I'm thinking attempting Ishtarin but without a ready supply of quartz ehhh.

I have 15$ on Google Play as a christmas present but for some reason I can't use it to purchase quartz; is there a way to buy 15$ worth of yen on the google play store?

Is the limited gacha just all the previous servants from the past week+? Or does it include more stuff (like Jeanne Alter, etc)? I'm debating whether I should throw my remaining quartz at Musashi or that.

Pretty good, which is really good for Lancers since all of the best ones are limited. Protection of the Faith is a good skill.

The one on the 11th is a grab-bag of everyone who's been available before then. Jeanne Alter is not included.

I'm a little tempted to just hold off on pulling entirely - I got Mordred while fishing for Musashi, and really, that's good enough since I'm looking for Buster people in each class who can play nice with Merlin. Ishtar or Gil might be nice, as might Kintoki, but I don't feel super moved to go nuts for any one of them. Besides, we have no idea what the back half of the month will bring, and what they'll be doing to fill the time while we wait for part 1 of Epic of Remnant to come out.

Between this time and the last Ishtar limited gacha I'm up to 825 gems and 48 tickets spent. Still no Rin. Gotta start saving up for the next time she shows up. Also gently caress gacha games.

I threw my tickets at Rin, no show. Which makes sense though as I probably used up whatever luck I had to get the last 3 5*'s I have.

I'd have bought some more quartz but some unexpected financial issues popped up (deadbeat roommates) and I gotta wait a while until things get stable. :sigh:

I have solemnly sworn to not purchase any more quartz until Swimsuit Kiyohime is back in the gacha.

So I spent a long time grinding a single Talon of Chaos for Scathach's third ascension (the best drop rate is apparently 17.7% from Des Moine, but the level takes a while to grind each time), thinking for some reason it was all I needed. Then I notice her final ascension requires six more and just went "pfffffft" and decided to wait until the next event. Grinding gears wasn't nearly as bad, partly because the level where you grind them can be defeated much faster. I'm also running low on apples finally, so I can't just freely grind like crazy anymore (I really should have left myself more so I could easily complete whatever the next event is*).

Also, even worse than the Talons, I'm running a little low on Hearts. I only have 8 left, 5 of which will be needed for Scathach's final ascension. Meaning I'll be running short for the nest servant who ends up needing them.

* Any idea when the next even is, for that matter? It's so much easier to get gems/statues/etc from them.

The only thing we know for sure is coming is the Valentines rerun in February. We might get something for the latter half of January, but we could just as well have another month of nothing.

Also I lasted half a year, but I think I can say for sure now that I've burned out on trying to translate F/GO. I've just been staring at these last 100 lines for something like five days now. :negative:

Yeah I had to grind talons myself for Saber Alter's 60-70 Ascension; thank christ I have over 100 of the golden wingtips.

I actually saved up some quartz for the limited grab-bag and because I had a suspicion this might be coming. And I still have tons of quartz left in free quests and bond points that I can farm up over the next two weeks. So I'm all set. :smug:

(watch me pull absolutely nothing because my karma needs adjusting after getting double Merlins on free pulls as well as a Mordred while trying for Musashi)

Do we know what cards Hassan uses (in terms of Buster/Arts/Quick)? I didn't see it on the page. Since I already have Jack I don't really have any need for another quick Assassin (since I seriously doubt anything is going to be significantly better than her).

From what I remember his cards are AQBBB and his noble phantasm is another Buster.

Ah that is quite interesting for an Assassin (and I guess I could have checked on the wiki now that I think of it). I'll throw all the quartz I have left at him, since I lucked out with Scathach and still have some left.

edit: I just looked at his skills and I'm not really sure what to make of him. He has the same star gen as Jack, but with AQBBB it seems he won't be of much use as a star generator. He can buff himself some, but not to an unusual extent. Also not sure how useful the Death chance on his NP is in practice. The really strong Guts is pretty nice, though.

I still sort of want her (the trial quest was very :3:) but in the end I have a buster-heavy Saber already and I don't really need a second.

Yeah but why would you keep rolling after getting the thing you wanted in the first place? I mean, the chance of getting multiple 5*s in a since 10-roll is so ridiculously small that it's not really worth consideration.

edit: Okay, I came up with one possible reason. If the servant you wanted most appeared in the gacha after the servant you wanted second most, then you might save all your quartz for the one you wanted most. If you then got lucky and acquired that one without spending all your quartz, you could spend the rest on the all-limited-servant day in the hopes of getting the one you wanted second-most.

I am pretty sure the way the system work is you hitting that rare 1% for five stars and you have like 80% chance of getting the rate up of servant. Having ten rate up means it's like 8% to get the same servant again when you hit another 1%.
