If you must blink, do it now.
Just had a Nightless Rose drop unexpectedly.

Should I bother saving up for another one (with golds or silvers) or just splurge on upgrade materials? My luck is generally pretty poor when it comes to loot tables so I never imagined the game would just hand me one.

Crystallized Lores and ascension mats are a higher priority. Once you've got all of those, you can farm silver medals for another copy of the craft essence if you have the time and the inclination.

What should I be running for max gold medals?
After doing this thing for a couple of days, I think this is the best strategy:

-Run through 5, 10, 20, and 30AP first just to get them out of the way and get the quest rewards. Ideally you never run the 5 and 10 again in that round.
-Run the 30AP until you are close to leveling up (less than 7,000 XP needed), then switch to the 20AP exclusively the rest of the day. Repeat this step the next 2-3 days of the round.

For the JPN 2nd Anniversary, you complete a quest so you get to pick 1 CE out of 47 (mechanically identical) variants. That is a lot of artwork.

A sample. Look at that Herc and ROMA!

It can spawn either a dragon or a demon as the boss. The demon will almost always drop a caster gem (it can drop a Foreign God Heart instead, but if that happens you shouldn't complain).

Hahaha yeah, Nerofest 30AP today is hilariously easy with either an Artoria or Saber Alter.

Tired Moritz posted:

I got two last night running the 30AP about four times after I hit my gold medal target.

But now that I've done that I might as well get the single assassin and single saber gems I'm missing from this set of master quests. It looks like the finals will have those in the events, but don't the master quests reset on Monday as well? Might be in the evening, but still. E: Actually I guess it's Sunday night, which means if I'm reading this correctly the only way to get assassin gems if you are short now is to run the monster daily today and hope one of the bronze/silver assassin enemies drop one.

Better to run Bordeaux or Mt. Etna if Assassin's the only one you need.

They've also got all this stuff as merch, so if you can somehow swing by FGO Fes you can pick up your own Summer Herk swag!

Personally I'm partial to Bedi and Nightingale's outfits. Those suits are snazzy.

Demiya and Kintoki are pretty great too.

So, does Summer Bonnie Anne's third skill apply a permanent (until killed or dispelled) Guts? I haven't had fights last long enough to see this before, but her skill came off cooldown (6 turns) and the Guts effect is still active. Can anyone else that has her, or access to more info, confirm this? The skill description doesn't have a duration for Guts, but I just expected it to be tied with the attack boost's duration.

It says it's "1 time" guts, the same way Cu's evade is "3 times". I'm sure there's no time limit on it.

There's no time limit on the guts, yeah. It's the same for Teach, since he also has Pirate's Glory.

The downside is they get resurrected at only 1 HP.

Fell and face planted on my way to work this morning, twisting my ankle, bruising my shoulder, and busting up a knee. To add insult to injury the sole from one shoe tore part way loose (trying some adhesive to repair) and my good work slacks tore.
SO NATURALLY LET'S TRY OUR LUCK WITH THE GACHA.

Tonight at 9pm est the 2nd Anniversary streams start for JP FGO and there's gonna be a ton of poo poo for streams including stuff for Fate anime adaptations, probably some new games, and tomorrow at 11pm est is the normal group of people to talk about what's gonna be happening in FGO for 2nd Anniversary and the next few months.

I think someone posted it already, but here is the stream schedule

http://fategrandorder.wikia.com/wiki/Fate/Grand_Order_Fes_2017_Stage_Schedule

F/GO Chaldean Broadcaster 2nd Anniversary SP is the big stream for new stuff tomorrow and it's only one that has an official channel airing it on youtube whereas the rest are only being aired on NicoNico.

The rate-up schedule also serves as a release schedule because almost every servant got a rate up when it was added to the game.
