The answer is that in the Fate universe, basically every rule exists solely so that someone can break it. There's exceptions and cheaters to basically every little thing, ranging from the rules of the Holy Grail to even the fundamental laws and principles of magic itself.

though of course in the case of FGO it's mostly "it's a gacha game, so the setting contrives that we can put in p much anyone"

I just finished another 40 AP run... at least, I cleared all three stages, and now apparently my squad has figuratively and literally decided to just chill. The screen is stuck on the close-up of the party right before the exp and loot screens should show up, and my squad is just standing there in the middle of the snowstorm. I figured the game was probably about to crash, since it tends to do that after I've had it running for a few hours, but getting stuck is a new one. Probably won't be a big deal to just force-quit and "resume" the battle.

And I've cleared a measly 15 boxes. In my case, the limiting factor is just my old eyes get tired quicker than they used to, so I take breaks and go do other things while they recharge. Should be able to get at least a few more before this ends, though.

I got to 38 and some change. Could have maybe hit 50 if I emptied out all of my apples but I had reached a point where I had mostly maxed out all the skills and ascensions I could have managed with the event with 100+ extra of the currencies lying around so it felt like diminishing returns.

All in all I actually kind of liked this event, compared to the last couple. Because it was based on using a ton of apples from the outset there wasn't much stress about being able to clear out the shop or not, it was all just a matter of time and then whatever boxes you were able to get afterwards was a super nice bonus. Not being 2 weeks was also kind of nice, all told.

Looking like I'll end up on ~33 boxes. That's fine with me, still have plenty of apples left for if I can't manage a later event.

I didn't worry about sock efficiency and started before even getting Santa Alter. I did a few boxes each day and had 50 boxes just before Santa Alter dropped.

Ran out of gold apples at 20 boxes and gonna save the bronze ones for London. The raffle box is super good and it got my Drake from second ascension to max level.

I'm on my 6th box (haven't started the process of rolling it though :f5:), but I have enough stockings to open another 9 after it, and I'm satisfied with that.

In typical fashion, I just got my first HNS CE drop, like an hour before the event ends. I'm correct in thinking that there's no reason to not MLB it now, right?

I opened 32 boxes and currently have the socks for 20 more sitting in inventory. 2 Apples left when all is said and done.

I'll deal with it a bit later. A bit tapped out right now.

I completed 15 boxes, and I’m pretty happy with that.
I never got a HNS drop, so cant mlb it. Bit bitter about that, but I haven’t actually had any event CE drops for I believe any of the events. So just shite luck on my part.

I only cleared a box and a half but only because I managed to clear the first hurdle in Camelot in the JPN version. Blitzing through the rest is a bit time consuming. But I’m ready for Christmas 2017 at least.

I was busy for most of the weekend so I only managed 17 boxes and change. Probably wouldn't have gotten much more than that before getting tired of the grind, though.

Only got mostly through 11 boxes here. Meant to grind a bunch today, but suddenly had a lot of RL work I needed to get done RIGHT NOW materialize today, so wasn't actually able to do so. Ah well, still a decent amount of stuff.

Just got a HNS to drop in one of my last few runs. Should I MLB it or keep 5 around for the rerun?

Only opened a couple boxes to NP5 Santa, have enough socks to open 20 more. Now moving on from grinding hell to repeat clicking hell. Perfect time to catch up on apocrypha.

I ended up clearing 28 boxes and I'm fine with that amount. Pretty much done with preparing my servants for Saber Wars (only need more Saber Monuments to ascend Artoria and Saber Lily), and leveled my servants skills a ton, so that's neat.

My postillion has been struck by lightning.
Spent every apple I had and ended up emptying 73 boxes. I might have been able to get a few more if I'd used fewer apples early in the event and saved them for when Santa and the 50 AP showed up, but spreading out the grind seemed more important.

I also got enough CE drops to get two MLB copies. It's a pity they seem worse than Imaginary Around for most Servants I can imagine using them on.
