She does have an NP charge. She also has the several hundred quartz I threw at her banner only to get Beowulf and Stheno.

I’m on my 23rd box after approximately 35 golden apples. Somehow this event seems less annoying to grind than most? It was fun to construct my fast clear teams.

I have gotten 2 CE drops. I’d like to wait for one more for MLB, but I’m losing hope on that.

Post your User ID in the thread if you want to populate your friends list with goons. It'll help a lot. For a Support Servant recommendation, unless you're looking for specific drop bonus, just grab Jeanne D'Arc Alter (the one dressed in black) and mow through as much of the event as you can.

I’ve been grabbing whatever level 100 I can see on the list, mostly Jeanne D’Arc Alter, and clearing the 30 energy difficulty.

Does anyone have a good daily checklist of stuff to do? My next stumbling block is ascension materials for Waver and Heracles. The first ascension on both made an enormous difference, unlocking their second skills.

Assuming an event isn't running, do the 40 pts dailies every day to get misc stuff and mana prisms to buy the summon ticket and XP cards in the shop every month - a suitable support should be enough to get you through the missions. Spend the rest of your AP on advancing through the story - if there's a 1/2 AP storyline bonus going on like the one coming up, don't bother with the dailies and just get through the story - everything up to Camelot should be relatively manageable with supports. If you need to grind for mats, google and find the best spot in terms of AP-to-drop ratio.

If you need materials and they're not in the event shop, there's a spreadsheet showing the best farming locations here. Be aware that free quest drop rates are pretty poo poo, but if you only need a couple of a mat to make it to an ascension it can help. Getting materials from events is much easier and more reliable.

As far as what to do on a daily basis, farm for whatever's the bottleneck keeping you from strengthening your servants at the moment. You may need materials now, but then you'll need embers, and if you strengthen skills to high levels then you'll need QP. It's a bit like whack a mole.

Being able to reliably beat the 40ap ember daily should be your first goal. Trying to put together a team that can farm it quickly and reliably should be your second goal. No matter what your material situation is, you'll always need embers. If you're trying to make a farming team, Arash and Spartacus are good candidates to level up early. They both have AoE NPs capable of waveclearing and a skill with NP charge on it. Give them a Kaleidoscope (or an imaginary element and 20% charge from Waver) and they can take out a wave in a single turn. Don't underestimate low rarity servants, some of them are really good.

Some servants' interludes also give one time drops of materials if you're in dire need. Blackbeard's in particular gives a load of pages.

A good support should be able to carry you through most of the early story. It'll only start getting hairy around America or so, with the difficulty spiking by Camelot. Be aware that the story will drop some materials and pieces for ascension, but it's a pretty hodgepodge mix, and it will almost never drop embers.

Thanks for all the advice! (Same with the other posts)

I think I’m on a decent path. I can clear the 40 energy XP materials dungeon with a top notch support unit, so that helped a ton getting Heracles and Waver capped for now. I’m also starting to see why everyone likes Waver so much, being able to bump someone’s NP gauge up is awesome.

I’m focusing on levelling Waver and Heracles first, then I started working on Arash when bottlenecked. I’ll add Spartacus to the list and of course Mash.

I just wish I had more time to grind this Christmas event. Coming in at the last minute means I don’t think I’ll be able to get the Silver Ticket in time to keep the holiday unit. I wish I’d started playing a week earlier.

You have another chance in a year, and Smolter isn't amazing as anything other than a waveclear lancer anyways, so don't worry too much. Also, probably stick to the lower level training grounds to start with, since you need blue gems before red or gold, logically.

Well, secured the Silver Ticket and MLB Chaldea Lunchtime at last. It's a shame the best stocking node doesn't give any other currency at all, and also that most of the bonus servants buff the currency that's least useful by a huge margin.

I got one copy of the much-talked-about Chaldea Lunchtime but doing some napkin math it looks like I would need to clear... 50 more event boxes to get enough prisms for the other four copies.

Even if I could clear the stocking node in 3 turns it's just not possible, and it doesn't seem like there's a major source of prisms between now and the expiration time.
