No interludes, but Caster days have a chance at it, and in more recent news all of the Medea guerilla quests when we get to them come with two enemy Demons, along with one accompanying her in the finale set of guerilla quests, so keep an eye on Halloween.

The 30AP Halloween event quests that award pumpkins. The translation calls them "surprise quests".

I don't have Caster Gilles, so I guess I have to hope that the demons from the guerilla quests drop a heart.

I still haven't spent any of the items I've gotten so far. It's like, I could get CEs but maybe I won't grind enough to make them worth it. But I get the other items, but maybe that will screw me over and I should have gotten CEs.

This event really isn't that intense. Class pieces/monuments aside, I've gotten all of the non-cupcake items besides some CEs I don't really need.

Got my Lore piece, now I just need 60 more pumpkins to get the last of the CE from the shop, and I never have to give a poo poo about pumpkins ever again, other than turning them into candy.

I am in the same boat after getting Waver to 3rd ascension and not being able to level up his third skill to level 4.

They are required to get a skill to level 10, and they are only ever available in events and I think the rare prism shop. In other words it's like the grails; a mat that you can not grind for.

E: Obviously not useful right now, but there ostensibly will come a time when your starting servants finally start to get their skills near the top and you'll find yourself short on lores.

To be fair on JP the QP+Mat bottleneck is such that I have over 20 of the things that I've gotten compulsively from every event and challenge quest left over.

I should have known there was a comic panel with just that sentiment. And yeah, i was merrily pumping upgrades into Fox's Wedding when suddenly i was all *click* "...wait, how many QP did that say?! and where did all the rest go :aaa: "

I said it before: it takes over 150million QP to max out the skills of 1 SSR.

Also levelling up MLB'd SSR CEs. At least exp bombing is a thing that exists.

Cirnopedia says they show up every day, but the 31st doesn't have anything listed, so it might not show up on the last day.

I somehow thought I hadn't bought the Lore yet and farmed up 40 more Pumpkins to buy it.

Ah well, I could use Berserker stuff anyways, since I have 3 Berserkers to ascend.

Time to run Vlad over and over for a chance at Iri!

And that's it, no more pumpkin grinding :toot: Everything but the Berserker pieces bought out. Now to switch to 20AP to get the ~1000 or so candles I need for those shop items, then I'll just rack up the cakes I need in 40AP via currency conversion.

I just need the two Maid in halloween CE's but I might skip that and just go for candle farming. I'd like to limit break and experiment with it but getting the rng to drop two of them is a tall order.

Got a Halloween princess from running 30 AP. I don't really feel like working on the Lore right now, so I think I'll continue bat and candle farming to get materials for now. I've already bought everything important (all four Liz, candies, most CEs), so the rest of the event is pretty much gravy for me.

Hey how many 4 star tickets have been given out in JP? And are there any characters that more consistently get used for events? I know Emiya but is there anyone else?

I kinda want to use future ones for story locked servants like Nero or Medea Lily.

I was under the impression it was basically just the one we already got.

Basically from what I've seen, there is no greater gap at your starting point than week 1 of NA FGO. Instant 30 quartz roll, and 2 4 star servants right off the bat. I think the most I've seen since then was like 10 extra quartz.

Two; one at launch and one on the two year anniversary.

Soylentbits posted:

Not really; I think even Emiya is only relevant to something like three or four events, and in some of those he only gets a damage boost, not a drops boost. Usually events tend to focus on boosts from the newly added gatcha and welfare servants in that event.

That’s disappointing. Since we got one at launch I just assumed we’d get one every year or so.

NRVNQSR
Mar 1, 2009
We'll have to see. Since the NA version had some of the big one year anniversary updates available from launch they're going to have to choose between having a lacklustre 1st anniversary or bringing some of the 2nd anniversary things forward a year. I think the quartz buying changes are more likely to come early than the 4* ticket, but you never know.

Oh Snapple!

Somewhat related, have they ever offered a 5* pick ticket you can buy ala the surprise tickets in Granblue, or is the paid New Year's 5* roll as close as they've come to that?

lol, imagine if they'd given us the initial quartz rates (4 per roll instead of 3) as part of the "original experience" :v:

Nah, just the one-time guaranteed 5* gachas, which give varying ability to narrow your your options (1st anniversary has knights vs cavalry+extra, 2nd new years has class pools, the others are just one pool). Though with comparison to granblue in particular it's understandable why you don't get a straight pick; parties are smaller and individual characters are more universally splashable and significant.

For what it's worth, I've already bought out the entirety of the shop in terms of bats already, so if you're interested in that CE for bat farming I bet you can make do with your support servant having and/or Halloween Arrangement from the gacha assuming you have some of those. I don't think Maid in Halloween will be necessary to get enough bats, basically. And LBing it seems pointless because it seems like a pretty mediocre CE overall (just allows the wearer to get healed more).
