GudaGuda event rerun. Keep in mind that you can get Oda and her ascension mats for free off of that, so even if you haven't played for a while you should grind it out.

Oh jeez, I was going to spend everything on Cu Alter, but that's tempting. I think Okita fills a similar position to Jack, so Cu Alter is probably higher priority (since I don't have any Buster-heavy 5* servants other than Musashi).

edit: Oh wait, she seems more similar to Scathach.

Okita is basically a Saber Jack, yes. Her main roll is building up crit-stars but she has fantastic NP gain and her NP also has a defense debuff attached to it.

She also shits out more damage with her crits than Jack. It's not an uncommon thing to pair them together to amass a horde of crit stars and then go to town with guaranteed 100% on every card.

New chapter of Apocrypha, but a fair bit of :siren::siren:WARNING:siren::siren: for this one: Astolfo's Master is disgusting towards him by licking him all over so if you're uncomfortable with that poo poo, you can avoid this chapter.

Edited slightly so no one can say that I didn't make a clear warning.

One thing I really like about this chapter that someone in this thread mentioned about the tragedy of Kariya and Lancelot is the incredibly high wisdom of Servants and how as the literal embodiment of heroism they have a certain independence streak. So seeing Astolfo :3: helping out someone just because it's the right thing to do in a very Shirou like way is really nice to see.

Yeah, I didn't know much about Apocrypha Servants outside of the TM Wikia entries, in-jokes, bare bones summaries, and FGO, but the manga's been doing a good job at getting the cast and their personalities across well. I've grown to really like Astolfo even more than before.

I'm happy another event is starting tomorrow; even though it's a re-run I never did it the first time around and it gives some items I really need (mostly pages for Merlin/Waver's skills, dragon scales to finish maxing Mashu's skills, and feathers for...someone, forget who).

Nobunaga seems like one of the better event 4* servants, too.

Ehhh, Nobu's an Anti-Divine servant. I can think of a few that are better at her job but they're in the 5* category. I don't think there are that many divine enemies outside of servants.

Man, didn't get Cu Alter. At least if I had rolled for the Okita one I would have probably gotten some craft essences for the event :mad:

Yeah, but given that servants are a significant portion of threatening boss enemies that's pretty decent.

Did they modify this even from the last time? If not, does anyone remember how easy it is to collect everything? Based upon the currently accessible free quests it looks like it'll take ages, but if it's like past events more lucrative quests may unlock over the following days.

more quests will be added and there's a gold event you can do once daily that basically forcefeeds you points

More quests are going to unlock over the next few days that will make it easier to gain HP and the drops, just chill out and wait. That being said, I'm pretty sure they increased the rate you gain HP since I don't remember it being this easy before.

I can't avoid filling a game with awful memes, even if I want to. It's in my bones...!
Seriously. I only ate, like, an apple or two in order to snag the first Gudao CE real quick before the first gold quest, and now I'm five runs of just the 40AP zerker quest from making Nobu permanent. We'll see if I can get all the way to 1.5 mil, but I'm feeling really confident about getting all the needed bits and bobs from this event, especially with more than two weeks of time total.

... still making me suspicious of a part 2 in the middle of all this.

FYI all reruns that involve farming have been tagged as "lite" and are drastically easier compared to the original.

The fact it ends at March 31st is a pretty clear indicator they'll have something new come April 1st.

Unless the remaining grinding quests are substantially better than the current ones, I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to finish grinding all the items from this event, even if I exclude stuff like the XP cards. I'm getting about 35-45 of the gold quest item per run of the latest quest, which is decent but not enough to get everything unless I do some serious grinding and use a bunch of gold apples. It's also kinda annoying that they seem to only be releasing each new quest every 2 days, so (I think) we'll only have a few days to grind the best quests. Didn't past events release each subsequent quest without any gap days? The points should be okay at least; I'm at about 400,000 now and I should be able to increase the grinding rate a bit to get all of them by the end.

I think burning 20-30 apples is normal to 100% an event if you lack CE's. I haven't fallen below 90 in several months and I'm back at above 130.

I have Okita already and don't particularly or strongly desire to "NP 5" my SSR's unless I'm making 70k a year.

I'm hoping we get a lottery style event next, so I can burn some of my apples for skill gems, or maybe a quest event like Kara no Kyoukai. I'm happy I have something to grind besides story quests and xp dailies though and getting NP5 Nobu is easy enough

In the past several events I could get everything (or at least all the ascendance/skill materials) by just running the quests whenever I had enough AP and maybe using several golden apples. Maybe they were abnormally easy though, since I only started playing again in October.
