The rate up is nowhere near generous enough within that 1% chance of getting a 5*.

During the Gilgamesh rate-up I rerolled until I got a Waver, Vlad and Altria on the first pull, and Gilgamesh was actually the 5* I saw the least while churning out reroll accounts. Then using all of the Start Dash + Gil campaign + story completion + dolphin package quartz, I got another Vlad and a Jeanne during that rate-up. Now with the Orion campaign, I got another Waver and then finally an Orion.

Sooo 1 rate-up in 7 successful 5* pulls.

The rateup for 5*s has been estimated at around 70% (of 1%, so 0.7%), which is pretty ok?

Bought all the Exp and Fou cards, now I just need the monuments. After that I'm switching to 30 AP. If I don't get enough to grab the pieces, then oh well.

Also Cirnopedia appears to be back up (but with the Moon Goddess page disabled, haha), so that's good I guess.

Ran out of Exp. cards to get Orion her first ascension, so decided to grab those in the mean time. (Since I know I'll grind enough for the monuments over the weekend anyway.)

Buying exp cards usually requires very little event currency, and 100 4-star all-class exp cards is actually pretty nice.

20 cards, and I guess maybe if you're a whale with a poo poo ton of characters you're trying to raise simultaneously?? exp is usually the last problem I have with raising characters.

Did the dango event only have 20 cards? Sorry, it's been a while since it was on JP, so i've forgotten the details. Anyway, unless you're catastrophically unlucky at gacha, you'll eventually reach a point where you need lots of exp.

as the game goes on you can and will have exp more as the problem than mats. i have 60-70 statues/monuments of every type and at least 2 dozen of every single ascension mat in the game in jp version, but leveling all these characters up is still a giant chore. anything above level 58ish takes about 10 gold exp cards, and anything above level 74ish takes about 20ish. per level

Man I think I'm going to cut this event close. Spent the first 2 full days doing 30AP until I got the first CE, and have been doing 5AP since. I think I was just able to buy out most of the golden archer statues. I'm using two moon cell automatons, 2 Moonlight Fest (one from support). I'm starting to think that I wont have enough AP to farm hearts before the event ends (No hearts on the journey to the first CE).

I've probably thrown close to 300 AP at the 30AP event so far. 1 caster gem, no hearts. I really just want the second caster gem for this bullshit mission. :argh:

I'm not him but every one of my 15 servants that I have at max level I've used in some capacity or another. I prioritize leveling the ones I feel like using though.

I have 45 gold servants, 12 of which are 5*. My leveling hell has only just begun :negative:

Pretty much me. But thankfully the servants I do have can get me through lots of problems as is. Yay for Emiya and Heracles and Cu.

I'm not sure if I should buy that 500 dumpling CE. I got the 5* CE from the gacha, and a copy of the one you can buy dropped for me from a stage. And I'm already at 88/89 team cost with the CEs I have which include a couple of the 3* ones.

I'm sure this won't actually be the case long-term, but it's hard to see the trickle of servants I actually care about keeping being such that I'd be in this situation. I kind of figured I'd be able to max out the ones I've been able to hang onto thus far and just focus on new folks one at a time, more or less.

Depends if you want to clear out the store. The 500 CE will pay for itself in 50 or so runs of the 5 AP dango quest, not to mention being a good CE in its own right.
