Alright guys, until Friday when I get paid again I'm done with the gacha. After getting Scathach in my first 10 roll with my saved up quartz, I decided "eh gently caress it, I had $400 stored away specifically for spending on Servants I really liked, so gently caress it, let's try to get Fragments of 2030." I stopped before I hit $200, because a wave of self awareness hit me like a freight train and I couldn't justify spending more money for a single card (at least until Friday). Here are my results:

NP2 Scathach
NP5 Medea Lily and an extra one I burned
NP2 Carmilla, both in the same set of rolls
NP3 Lancelot
NP5 all the new 3* Servants
A 2nd Formalcraft and Kaleidoscope
A poo poo ton of Boars and Knights.

NOT A SINGLE FRAGMENTS OF 2030. I'm not complaining, because my rolls were good, but how is it that I can get 9 4* and 2 5* Servants, both of which have lower rates than a 5* CE, but not a single Fragments??? I don't even plan to limit break it, I just wanted 1.
Thank you, as always, for putting whatever bullshit I do in this game in perspective.

Ask me about getting nine loving 5* CEs during my (JP) Halloween 2017 rolls and like two 4* Servants total. I was way ahead of the curve on CEs for how often I rolled, too.

RNG is going to RNG. Always remember that the averages are just that. You are going to get some insane results over the course of your career.

The funny thing is, it's only been the past couple years it's really blown up. The one-two punch of the UBW TV anime and FGO launching really pushed Type-Moon into the mainstream spotlight. If anything, I wonder if that will color part 2 content and the other HF movies?

Generally speaking, anyone with a single-target NP will see a ton of power from NP2, because NP2 gives your NP 25% more damage scaling and that gets crazy for people like Okita or Jack, who's up next (Quick ST NPs go from 1200 to 1600% scaling). I've been wanting NP2 for my Jack basically all year.

True, but Okita (and also Jack) want it even more than normal ST-NP servants, since they charge their NP so loving fast it basically becomes another Q-card with a fuckton of added damage.

I got Scheherazade when she first dropped trying to get Penthesilea and thought "hey I'm already using MHXA, Finn, Seig, and Artoria how bad could she be?" Turns out pretty bad. I have Helena and Nitocris and they both just outperform her entirely, she's really only comparable to Finn in terribleness imo.

Unrelated, the tickets on JP got me Medusa Lily and Ishtar! I sank a ton of quartz for Ishtar before so this is great, plus I get to complete the Medusa trifecta.

I rather hope not since they gave themselves that freedom in the first place by going with a movie format. I really liked how they handled the first movie too, so I have hopes that they'll do justice to the rest unlike the latter half of ubw.

What percentage gain on CE XP do you get from the XP bomb thing, assuming no GS/SS? It seems like a hassle but it's gonna end up being like double XP it's not that bad.

Of course I get NP3 Artoria on the paid gacha and gently caress all else. But hey at least when I get flooded by more of them I can use the spirit origins to trade for a different 5*. I almost forgot about the extra support pages so now my pals don't have to fight for space anymore.

Quartz to reward ratio was a bit rough this time. 150 spent and got Marie NP2, 2030, K-scope, and Medea Lily. The rest was your smattering of CE's and 3* servants. At least I have all 3 Gorgons. Since Scathach eludes me, gonna treat good dog to another order of octuplet crystals. I'm gonna save for the next limited waifu. :sigh:

To clear something up, the rateup schedule in the OP says the following on the 1st anniversary paid gacha:

quote:

In addition, a two-time 10-roll with paid Quartz can be performed.
It can be performed once for the class group Saber-Archer-Lancer-Ruler, and once for Rider-Caster-Berserker-Assassin.
A minimum of 1 5* Servant from the classes in the group is guaranteed in each 10-roll performed this way.
but everywhere else I've read/heard that it's a one-time, pick-a-pool deal. I'm assuming that's the case, but would appreciate if anyone knew for sure.

Paid Gacha only got me a second Waver. Did manage to get a 2030 in the Scath gacha. No new servants but that means all exp will (in theory) be dedicated to maxing out my current servants.

Oh right, I also forgot to say that I got Vlad during the rolls for Scathach and I got Drake from the paid ten roll. So I have my premier door farmer and 2/3rd of the arts meta.

I was really hoping to see either Okita or Drake. Maybe that hope is what doomed me.

Got Waver from the paid 10-roll, and Medea Lily from two 10-rolls on the Scathach banner. I should probably be happier than I am w/ Waver, since he's new and pretty useful from what I understand, but I can't help but feel somewhat trolled since Tamamo, the other Caster, was who I really wanted. And also the game still gives me nothing above a 3* for a saber. But it wasn't a dupe of Jeanne or Vlad, at least. On the other rolls, I'm ok w/ Medea Lily as she's also new. Would've liked Scathach or this 2030 CE, but not willing to whale again until I get another shot at Tamamo.

So, I know a very good arts team is Vlad/Jeanne/Tamamo, would Vlad/Jeanne/Waver be close or better?

Yeah, it's one pool or the other, not both. The schedule's text is copied from the wikia, which is a bad translation; the original Japanese news page is unambiguous.

Waver isn’t really worse per se, honestly. He can take either the slot of Tamamo or Jeanne, depending on the situation; in general, waver brings more offense to the table where tamamo and Jeanne both bring more defense and stall. The nice thing about Waver is he brings a crit damage buff and a broad attack buff, which helps Vlad use his stars (and the stars from Jeanne’s first skilll)from his NP and his buster cards. Tamamo brings more NP charge and Arts buff, which means combined they have a lot of offense, and Jeanne brings a full invincibility and more stall. Tbh since you can always (excepting Shimosa...)bring a friend Tamamo I’d say that Waver is just as good, and will help non Arts teams as well.

You'll gain a miniscule amount from shoving level 10s into a lower level whatever, but the main reason to do it is to save a little bit of QP like Suaimhneas mentioned and to be honest to give you something to do with all of those useless 1-3* CEs all of us have to deal with.
