    God damn it, I gave into temptation and whaled a bit for Tamamo.

    Got her on the last ten roll before I hit my set limit; I feel like there should be a German word for this combination of relief tinged happiness and despair.

    This was me with Gilgamesh, my VERY last pull before I ran out of the quartz I bought got him for me

    Looking back, I got stupidly lucky with Orion and kinda lucky with Gilgamesh.

    Question: How long until we get more Heart of the Foreign God?

    Altera to max too my remaining stock. I need them for, in varying order of importance: Tamamo, Orion/Artemis, Gilgamesh, and Emiya.

    I spent 5 or 6 golden apples running the 40 AP quest and had a grand total of about 5 or 6 pumpkins from all of that. I even leveled up once in the middle.

    This shit is ridiculous.

    You can always just farm 40AP Caster Daily for that small chance of a Demon spawning and then dropping a heart, but that's mostly just depressing.

    But yeah, it's GUDAGUDA. So probably in a month or so, if I'd have to bet.

    Altera is wonderful for farming basically anything.

    I just need a good single target servant. I have so many good AoE ones...

    Caesar's basically the only single-target Saber for the foreseeable future unless you get really lucky in the GUDAGUDA gacha and roll 5* Okita Souji. He's pretty good at that role, though, like 3*s have a tendency to do - you probably have him at a somewhat high NP level, which pushes his damage up above others. Just don't expect him to do all that much damage outside of an NP turn.

    If you desperately need a single-target servant that's effective against anything, though, maybe consider raising a Lu Bu? He's a pretty good budget Herc, although you'll have to plan around his demerit effects. He needs talons to ascend, but otherwise no super-rare items.

    Also, of course, against Sabers or Berserkers there's little that can beat Robin Hood for doing ridiculous NP damage. I'm regularly pulling out 160k+ with a level 50 Robin in the event. (Past level 50 he needs Serpent Jewels, which I had better uses for.)
    Euryale pulls out similar damage but only towards [Male] enemies, which should be obvious for most Servants of those classes (except D'eon, who has no defined gender in-game). For monsters I think the only male ones are the ones that are obviously so - werewolves, goblins, soldiers, etc. She's not very useful against Chimerae.

    I don't desperately need a single-target yet... it would just be nice to have.

    Finished getting all the CEs worth buying, all pumpkin stuff except berserker crap, so need to farm shitloads of bats for saber stuff and candy next.

    So the two Halloween CEs supposedly drop from some of the repeatable quests, right? Because I bought them all and realized I still need more copies to finish them off. After feeding them away already because I assumed I'd be able to buy enough to max them both out...

    Yes. They do drop

    Rates are supposed to be low, but apparently there's a guerilla quest with Atalante where you can just exit the game and reenter until you get the drop

  • Options
    NeveronNeveron HellValleySkyTree SwedenRegistered User regular
    It's the party quest after the current one, and the one after that, but note that they only drop Halloween Princess. Which is probably the best CE on offer in the event, all said.

    If you want to grind Halloween Princess you can also take your chances at 30AP Vlad, and you can get copies of Maid in Halloween from 40AP Tamamo Cat. Both have pretty low drop rates - I'd recommend just focusing on Halloween Princess, since limit breaking it gets you up to a base 50% NP (enough for Support Waver to bring you to 100%, for instance).

    I've actually gotten two Maid in Halloweens to drop from the guerrilla quests. (Er, I think that's what people are calling them, but I don't know why.) Which probably means there's no chance of getting a Halloween Princess to drop, I've used all my luck now. :P

    How do you get so many bats? I just need to farm cake and bats now to get the last liz and sparkle candies. i presume there's no way to get more candies outside of Halloween.

    Ahh yes, THAT'S the other time I had to use my command seals to revive. I had forgotten what it was. (The first one being the insane 3rd-round 9-servant bout at the end of Nero Fest.)

    That's definitely one of the times and places for Jeanne.

    You want to equip as many of the "Maid in Halloween" CEs as you can and farm the 30 AP event quest. I believe you also get a good number of bats from the "party" event quests.

    Like this. :lol:

    I thought that the worst thing was summoning and getting a craft essence, but I think the actual worst thing is seeing a silver caster card come up and hoping against hope it'll suddenly turn into a gold tamamo

    Olga's in El-Melloi II Case Files, yeah, which is set a bit before Fate/Stay Night (and hence ten-ish years after Fate/Zero). And, incidentally, in 2004ish - so she's a small kid.

    Chaldea isn't really a thing there and neither is the incineration of human history. IIRC one of the big diverging points (beyond the Fuyuki Hoky Grail War being completely different as is the case for all spinoffs) is that Leff committed suicide in a short story in one of his saner moments? Flauros wasn't in control, basically.

    FWIW, it's still a low level enemy and thus hits like a wet noodle.
