I'd love a Waver (but who wouldn't) but I'm very happy with my Jeanne, she's been fairly easy to build around so far. I definitely want to try for Gil assuming that's out first. I'd love to try for Saber Alter but I just don't know how that'll go with the current pool. I might just hope I get her during Gil's rateup somehow.

Unfortunately, Saber Alter is a story-locked servant, which means you can't roll her unless you roll on the default story gacha or she's specifically part of the rate-up, and I don't believe Saber Alter was in Gil's particular rate-up.

No, some servants are only in the story gacha, unless they are added to a specific rate-up. The story gacha is always available.

I guess this is a matter of me not knowing what "rateup" actually entails. I kind of expected it to just be a "click on Summon, and now when you do a Story gacha it has different odds", but by the sounds of it it's a different/new menu option altogether?

Story gacha and rateup gachas are separate, yes. You can always roll in Story gacha, and it has a few servants that you can only get there or in gachas when that character gets a rateup. So for example, you can only get Saber Alter in the story gacha until she eventually gets a gacha where she has a rate up.

Just like you can switch between the standard quartz banner(this is the story gacha) and the friend point banner, during rate-ups one or more additional banners are also added.

since there's paid quartz and free quartz, are there some super rate-up gachas that can only be spun with paid quartz, like guaranteed 5* ones or something?

Also the game automatically deducts from free quartz first so you probably don't need to worry about accidentally exhausting your paid quartz just as a paid quartz only event rolls up.

Oh OK, it's not that Altera has a futuristic design despite being Atilla the Hun, she is literally an alien life form that fell to Earth thousands of years ago and was convinced by the Huns who woke her up from hibernation to lead them.

I've seen conflicting reports on this: Did the shop on JP always have 5 tickets for sale each month, or was it five tickets total for the first year before becoming monthly?
There were 5 tickets in the shop with duration one year. After a while that definitely was less than a year, they started regularly adding 1-month tickets to the shop. I'm pretty sure they didn't overwrite the original batch of tickets for sale.

Between the mediocre anime of Fuyuki and having redo the Prologue a bunch for rerolls I've grown to intensely dislike the story for the first singularity, but I kind of knew it was kind of eh to begin with so that wasn't surprising. Just treated it as a Quartz/FP farm (from Cu Caster).

E: So I know from this that Nero is added to the summoning pool after Septem, but what is the difference between her and say Mordred who is not a Limited Servant but also seemingly not unlocked by clearing something later? Is it a case that the summoning pool simply gets updated passively for all players and all of a sudden players will start getting Mordred in rolls regardless of where they are in the story?
When you beat a chapter, the game secretly switches the gacha pool that represents "the story gacha" to you. So there's a initial gacha, a post-Fuyuki gacha, a post-Orleans gacha, etc.

Generally speaking, we almost always have at least two quartz gacha going on at any given time (plus the FP gacha):
The current available story gacha will have the base set of servants + story locked servants up to whatever you cleared.
The current available event gacha will have the base set of servants + event servants (which may include otherwise story-locked servants). So even if you clear Fuyuki you can't randomly get Alter from rolling event gachas. (Unless she's included for whatever reason)
Sometimes we have more than one event gacha going at the same time.

Later on for special events they'll run special one-10-roll-only gachas that can only be rolled using paid quartz (you'll note it keeps track of how much quartz is free vs how much you bought. The free quartz is always used first). These gachas so far have always guaranteed at least one 5* (can be more).

Incidentally, the story gacha system makes certain servants disproportionately rare, particularly the 3* story locks such as CasCu and CasGilles, since nobody rolls story gacha for them and rarely if ever get included in event gachas.

Why are all the best designs wasted on terrible stats/skills
My guess is because they know their designs will drive the sales anyways. It's kinda mean but it also helps slow down the power creep, which is a thing they care about.

A "rate up" means those featured Servants are a) available in that gacha regardless of their status as limited, story-locked or regular and b) have increased chances of showing up IF you rolled the right rarity. It's been estimated that about 60% of SSR rolls will be a rateup'd SSR, so rateups are not a lie despite how it may feel.
Event gachas always feature a rateup.

SOMETIMES, namely right after releasing a new chapter, the event gacha is also flagged as the story gacha, which means it includes the base set of servants + story locked servants + the event servants. Only the event servants are rated up, of course.
