Hello? Can you hear me? ...Perhaps if I shout? AAAAAAAAAH!
I usually just wake up for work, log in and put in a 40 AP quest and then shut off after entering battle. It's the quickest way to store in extra AP.

The RNG gods have finally granted me the pieces for Jeanne's first ascension :toot: I guess I should still go at this daily a few more times today though because I'll need those pieces for Cu and Robin, eventually.

Can't be done. You can get one of the reverse scales from Fafnir during Orleans, but the only other drops are in Babylonia and in the daily quests we don't have yet.

For scales it's got to be grinding the 30AP Friday monster hunting. For Berserker pieces theoretically the Appian Way Free Quest might give you better rates than the Wednesday duels, but I'm not sure anyone knows for certain.

You'll have to forgive any mistakes here because I'm a dumb liberal arts major, but I believe that on average, it would take 500 spins of the Gacha to get 5x of a 5* Servant (assuming you were cursed to only draw a particular 5*). This would cost $880 dollars using the most cost-efficient purchase in the store. And that just gives you the opportunity to start acquiring Blank Saint Graphs. Again, assuming you were cursed to only draw a particular 5*, getting 91 BSG after this point would take 9,100 rolls on average, or 27,300 Saint Quartz, or $15,600 dollars. You could buy a loving car.

In real terms it would naturally take much more than that, since your odds of drawing any particular 5* Servant are only 1/5. You'd inevitably max out most of your 5* Servants before you really started getting Blank Saint Graphs in sizeable numbers. And this is from the JPN server, where there are many more 5* Servants than on NA--your odds of drawing duplicates of a Servant you already have 5 duplicates of are much lower there. We're talking down payment on a house, here.

At least you can say this is the worst it can possibly get--

I'd recommend dailies starting out since it's pretty easy to kickstart your servants to first ascension and boost your master level with those.

how often do they send out apples of any kind to replenish the AP? considering burning one when I have free time to blow through the story, but I don't know if I should wait more or whatever. I have like 68 AP now but it's effort to wait.

Early on, not really outside events if i remember.

I think I had 2-300 on my JPN account before I gave it away and I didn't play that much. They became like Tamadra are in P&D right now, if that helps out :v:

Yeah, I remember them being scarce when I first started FGO but at some point they started showing up like candy and now I have 200 of the things lying around.

By comparison I think I can count the number of lower ranked copper and silver apples I've seen on one hand.

How rare are grails? I see they drop at the end of each chapter, but do they typically show up in event rewards or exchange store? I am trying to decide between using them now or hoarding them for only the absolute best units.

Oh nevermind, it looks like we cant use them just yet? They have some hidden max level requirement? I am guessing max ascension?

You can only grail units that have reached their natural level maximum, yes.

Grails appear at the end of every singularity and at the end of several events, but never in exchange stores. Generally, events that have a major story focus and an actual map screen like a proper singularity drop them at the end, while ones that are just a menu of battles with some dialogue peppered in don't. You'll know the differences between those two when you see them.

Edit: Although on the flipside if you're already going to whale that loving hard, who the hell could you conceivably still need to buy?

Event servants get added to the store during their event gacha. This means you can outright buy newly released servants if you've got the blank graphs to spare.

Well, having just finished up Septem and finally used a couple single target NPs I definitely understand why they rate higher than multi-target Busters. Level 50 Altera with two buffs does ~26k per target with triangle bonus, while my level 30 Robin got ~47k against a poisoned target with just one buff, not to mention what that friendly CuCu just pulled.

Back to grinding exp, until I actually need mats for a second ascension.

Question about Evade skills: The skill saying 'Times' rather than 'Turn' means (like for Caster Cu Chulainn) it'll only evade individual strikes, right? So an enemy that has a multi-hit attack can burn through the whole thing in like one Quick card animation?

It's actions, rather than attacks. A multi hit attack will still only count as a single action for the purposes of the dodge.
