Pffft. That just means you don't have EX luck if you can't get an SSR in single ticket pulls like others are getting. Spend more money imo

15 tickets and all I got is the new 4* CE, two of those lame Runestones, and some silver servants to boost their NPs. Why did I let the hype tempt me to even roll? :negative:

Pretty much this is exactly me, except I can't even raise the NP on one of the ones they gave me.
I didn't even really care about Kintoki, I really just wanted boring old Salter, I already gave up on getting SSR's a long time ago.

I have like, D-Rank luck where I can get SR servants, but only after multiple 10 rolls and it's never the Servant that's actually on rateup.

I somehow ended up with a moon lantern, two reverse dragon scales and a serpent jewel in three runs of 30 AP monster hunting today.

The scales were all I needed for Gil's final ascension, so that's probably the most luck I'm ever going to have in this game. All downhill from here.

Got my weekly summon ticket.
And another Rin's Pendant :(

Considering I've logged in continuously for like 50+ days this kinda feels like a kick in the face for how many hours I've put in (and I'm still only at like level 60~) I don't know how so many people get to 100+ so quickly.

I'm level, uh, 50 something.

I've never gone beyond a single Ascension for any of my Servants. And only like, 5 or 6 have undergone Ascension at all.

It's a slowass ride but I'm getting there, and I know Saber Alter is waiting for me at the top of the mountain, her hand outstretched so she can push me all the way back down to the bottom.

It's tough love, and it's tough to love.

I'm still able to beat dungeons without having to restart, or rely on Command Seals (except the final Orion dungeon, where I burned all 3 on NP recharges), so it's all good.

Gacha game gonna gacha.

I've had great luck on both 10-draws and spamming 10-20 tickets before on my main account, getting tons of great servants during the summer re-run, then absolute squat from the 2017 summer stuff, save for a lot of Helenas. My alt-account, meanwhile, has had middling luck but then drew 5/7 of the limited servants.

1/2 ap ember gathering

1/2 ap in the first week got me to 90+ just casually, with a whale's Jeanne basically soloing everything while I leveled up every couple of minutes. I had 500ish stamina overflow at one point.

Yeah, the first 1/2 AP event they ran was a huge boost if you could take advantage of it. You wound up with level ups coming faster than you could spend AP so if you were nuts and ground hard it was easy to get to level 70+ and cap your main servants in just a few days.

I suspect this is why ember gathering isn't included in the current event. :v:

You could power through Master Levels even easier with half AP treasure vaults, since the rewards per AP are the same as ember gathering and the enemies are trivial even at the hardest difficulty. Only problem is it's so incredibly dull it'd make you long for the heady days of dango farming.

If it makes you feel better, I burned about 240 quartz and 30 tickets on the summer banner in JP and only got 1 new unit out of the whole thing. And it wasn't even a 5*.

I couldn't persevere with saving quartz, was just too bored. In my last 10 roll I got 3 copies of "With one Strike" in one draw and jack squat. Got more 3* CEs than Servants even.

I am preserving every last bit of quartz and summon tickets until there is a rate-up for Servant I actually want, so I have something like 300 quartz and 30 tickets stored, with still most Interludes undone. Outside of the beginning and tutorial 10x pulls and friend point pulls, I don't think I rolled the gacha in F/GO even once. :shrug:

Casters with offensive NPs, since they can build their NP gauges so fast. Medea especially works great for it, especially since she can heal herself, but it works with the 3* aoe buster types too.
Robin Hood, Euryale, since they're arts-types with strong NPs. Same with Orion and Vlad, though Vlad's a little risky with it since he's a berserker.
Anne and Mary, when they're added.

also pretty much anyone paired with waver

Welp, after spending 190 quartz (including £35 of paid quartz) yesterday and getting jack poo poo I decided to try my 6 summon tickets. It was kinda weird in that I got more good stuff in these rolls than all my previous quartz rolls since I started playing 40 odd days ago:

1st ticket- a silver saber that transformed into a golden saber which revealed itself to be Saber alter. I'm guessing the weird summon animation was a result of the rate up taking effect.
2nd and 3rd : 2 black keys craft essences
3rd: GOLDEN (!)
4th: The black grail craft essence(!!)
5th: Robin hood (ehh, already have at max NP)
6th: Artoria Pendragon (!!!)

2 5 star servants and 1 4 star from 6 tickets was quite the thrill. Just wish I had more saber and berserker pieces.

On that note, is it worth bothering to level up both Artorias or should I just focus on one for now? From what I can see Artoria has better stats and skills but Saber Alters Noble Phantasm is much stronger.

Speaking of summoning animations, as far as I can tel there are 3.

Rainbow balls is 5*

Silver card reveal flipping to gold can be 4* or 5*

Gold card reveal is 4* or 5*

Does that sound right?

If you have both regular and alter, invest in the latter first since it's pretty much the same thing for less materials and cost.

one more, the ring moving too fast and not staying at the edge of the screen means CE. Very frustrating.

- Hercules

- Stheno

- Martha
- And now Salter

That's pretty good.
