Saber Alter is storylocked. Story locked servants ONLY show up in the story gacha unless the gacha banner explicitly mentions them or mentions being an exception.

Edit: Nero is also storylocked.

Is there a list of storylocked stuff? I knew about them being locked behind finishing the singularities but that's a little irritating to say the least.

No wonder I never saw any caster Gilles and Cu after my early story pulls. I've gotten copies of pretty much every silver under the sun except those two and it's gonna suck when I want Medea Lily.

Don't you think you should put more thought into your battleplan?!


I actually have Caster Cu at NP2 because I accidentally did a story gatcha roll. So at least something was salvaged from that mistake.

4 Quartz out of 300. 296 more to go.

IIRC, 300 is the average number needed for a 5-Star. So once I hit that benchmark, then I'll think about what I want.

It's the average number for a 50% chance at a 5-star.

Tickets only summons Black Keys, so I don't see how that would help.

From tickets, I got Arjuna, Meltlilith, Merlin, and some 4*s like Demiya and Penthesilea. My luck is stupid.

The problem is y'all want instant gratification (I mean, I get it, you just wanna roll those drat quartz bc of the siren gacha call), but the current pool of Servants in NA is hardly the best we got now.

204 Quartz will give you 50% odds on getting a Five Star.

300 Quartz gives you 63% Odds.

To be honest I’m way less excited about OC (do not steal) FGO characters than Fate characters from other works. Let me know when we start getting cool Strange Fakes.

Plus why even play NA if you’re just going to save up 999 quartz for Merlin in over a year.

I was actually disappointed getting a 4-Star on a 1-roll on JP, because I want to NP5 my cool new monk as soon as possible.

I haven't maxed him yet and he already kicks rear end.

The only Strange Fake Servant so far has been Enkidu and Gilgamesh if you wanna get technical (but he's in most Fate works anyways so)

and you play NA FGO bc even Merlin can get one shot by Stheno

For all intents and purposes, he's an FGO original. The one in Strange Fake is under completely different circumstances.

Blegh, 30 rolls and I got 1 5* event CE, 2 4* event CEs, Carm, Atalanta or whatever that 4* Archer is, and Heaven's Feel.

No Tamamo I guess.

Two ten rolls, two 4* event CEs, 1 trick or treat, Cu to NP5, Robin to NP4. Will roll the rest of my quartz when I'm feeling luckier and its not 3 am local.

I did a single 10 pull looking for CE.

I got Tamamo instead, who I did not want.

I then went and pulled FP looking for CEs and still got none.

Scathach is late Nov/Early Dec most likely.

Jeanne Alter is probably April, IIRC

Cleopatra is next year's Halloween.

Well between bad gacha rolls and some free FP I have four copies each of the 4* and 3* CEs so at least clearing the shop that won't be a problem (I hope).

edit: Is the 5* CE a 100% drop when you beat Vlad the first time or did I just get insanely lucky?
