I'm at 519k points right now. Not too concerned about it, the 1ap quest drops get insane by the end. I'm more concerned about grabbing all the hearts in the shop. They're all that's stopping me from max ascending Emiya and Kintoki. Would also be nice to grab some horseshoes and gears to max Anderson but I'm down to my last golden apple.

Speaking of max ascending servants, Stheno is worthless in this rider quest. Does she ever get better or was investing in her a huge mistake?

The only positive thing I've read about Stheno is that she's OK in Camelot where she can charm a lot of the male enemies.

That's how you get tinnitus

I just passed 500k, using Emiya/Nobu/support Okita/Cu/Ushi/Medusa on the 1APs with 4 Guda-Os (3 mine, 1 support). Haven't been seriously farming the 40APs yet and when I have done them I haven't made an effort to use all bonus-giving servants. I'm probably going to use some apples on the caster one, since I should be able to beat it with Ushi, Medusa and a good support. And also for the chance of heart drops.

I'm sitting at 420k, but then I've spent most of my AP grinding Chawans. Once the Lancer quest hits I should be getting a lot more points.

The most baffling thing to me about Stheno's kit is her non-damaging NP being Buster. I guess you could do a BBB chain with the rest of the party, or BQQ with her to maybe bump up her damage in that round from pitiful to mediocre?

E: I thought I was being crazy but as a FYI, the initial 4* ratings in the second post of the thread has her NP as Arts. I dunno if this was the reason for her (IMO) overly high 7/10 but if so might be worth an update.

How the hell is your Okita at 90 already? You need to calm the hell down. Thanks for the points carry though.

I'm at 579k with a 500% bonus when the 1 AP comes out. I've been holding out on doing the 40 AP ones too much until the lancer one arrives. Gonna start using apples so my Okita, Nero and Artoria can faceroll through it.

Combination of the 50 gold XP cards in the shop being pretty easy to quickly get and suddenly finding myself not needing the huge number of Saber/Assassin cards I was sitting on for Caesar/Kojiro because Okita gobbled up all of the gears they were going to use. Still needed a few Saber 40AP runs though.

I'm only at 300K, but I didn't try to get any gatcha CEs or Okita, haven't been using apples and only have half of my party with rate-up servants so I can reliably do the 40 APs.

I've gotten a few horseshoes from this rider 40 AP, which is funny as I was actually hoping for two more rider monuments to fully ascend Anne & Mary, but maybe I need to start hoping for horseshoes to get the momuments to drop.

If you're at about 400k right now, you're probably going to be okay by the end of the event as long as you don't miss a 1ap daily. I'm at 400k right now without using an apple so far and at least half of my points are coming from the free quests. If you're at 380-390% bonus you're going to get your NP5 Nobu just fine, and probably the lore from the points you get from the free quests.

I can only get to 340% and I'm debating buying the last GUDAO from the shop because I have terrible luck and none have dropped for me, but I'm not sure it's worth it. I'm confident I'll get the last Nobu, less confident in getting the lore and I'd rather just get more ascension mats if I'm gonna miss the lore anyway.

Currently at 384k on points, but, I haven't done today's daily yet either, and also I've been taking my time because I just can't muster much enthusiasm.
I have all the skulls, just need 180 more Hira-gumo for the last shop CE, then I can farm Octuplet crystals to ascend Nero.

I mean in the end that's probably the better way to go about the event; take a look at the shop and what the welfare servant is like, and decide what is worth spending the AP for and what isn't. Even if I just got Nobu and the Hearts/Claws/Horseshoes out of this event I'd call it a major net positive.

Right now I'm a little shy of 380k.
Nobu/Emiya/Cu/Medusa/Mephisto, with double Guda-O, and a support okita with guda-o for the daily quests. Currently working towards buying the last Gold Skull from the shop.

From there I'm really dubious about buying another Guda-O, because the only way I could equip it would be swapping Mephisto to Mash and using that, and it's only a 10% increase, and I could be using those creepy spider kettles to buy demon hearts.

I might try two Carmilla and...I dunno Vlad or Gil or somebody rather than my 55 Hassan; all these stars and it seems like a miracle when someone coughs up a Buster card instead of a Quick.

Maybe Carm, Hassan, and X we'll see.

I'm currently sitting just shy of over 1,200,000 points. This was accomplished by spending many Saint Quartz and whatever apples I happen to get thrown my way.

Since I completely cleaned out the event shop last Monday, I've reequipped my teams with GUDO-O and been doing the 40AP missions since, and should hopefully have my 1,500,000 points by this week if not this weekend.
