Of course. Even from the two that I just summoned during the event.

I'm waiting for Medusa's. I don't use any of the characters that I have who can do them now.

Though I did just realize I needed to do Scathach's, so that's done now.

I hate Suits. All of them.
The most important aspect of these precious, heartfelt gifts from your various Servants is that each of them counts as an 80/80 CE's worth of 30k exp to fuel your other CE's.

Cleared out the chocolates except the single one I didn't want, all the materials other than the back half of the homu babies (had 50, best grind spot in the game is open), two melty sweets, ALL the Fous and gold XP cards. Few apples used, some AP wasted, only rolled gatcha a few days in for one tenner, I think I did alright.

also did a tenner on the cavalry banner. I got Babbage #1 and Cas Cu NP 2 at least?

leveling CEs is the dullest thing, though

they never gain additional abilities and it takes forever and all you get is a very small stat boost

maybe necessary eventually, but impossible to get excited about

Outside of the pretty good store and cool scenes from servants I'm glad this event is done. Not going to miss random annoying poo poo like archer dragons spawning for lancer rate ups

I dunno why CE leveling would ever be necessary . Effects matter most so you'll be mostly using 4-5s, which you might not choose or be able to MLB.

I meant NA. The only Servant I still need to max ascend to get the entire first wave is Boudica (missing like 3-4 horseshoes).

I still need to grind up 12,400 chocolates for the mana prisms, rider pieces, and caster pieces. I've got plenty to acquire the latter two already, so its mainly just the mana prisms i'm going after at this point.

I have truly been slacking on this event it seems.

Saber node was basically too hard for me to bother with, I don't have any of the really hard hitting Archers, and the fact there was random spawn in calvary node would have made it harder to deal with. In theory you could just do a double berserker + Zhuge strat or something but still annoying.

this event is actually pretty fun. too bad I was so busy during it. But even then I have enough chocolates for all the ascension items except for the feathers/dragon wings.

now im wondering if its worth it to put some apples in to at least get some of them. Don't they have grinding spots yet?

Best regular grinding spots for feathers is Saber Training Day (Sunday) 30AP which has a drop rate of about 1 feather per 170-175AP spent. Second best is Okeanos Bountiful Sea Free Quest (18AP) which has a drop rate of about 1 feather per 190-195 AP spent.

Best regular grinding spot for reverse dragon scales is the Rider Training Day (Thursday) 40AP which drops a scale about every 475 AP spent.


Drop rate spreadsheet be sure to switch to NA.

You aren't missing much, the MLB only increases the Crit star effect by 10%. The 3-hit protection against males is unchanged and is what gives this CE any use at all outside Valentines, even if its a tiny niche one.

The only downside of not getting five copies is you won't be able to MLB it for the rerun, so that's one less +1 coin bonus. Awful, really.

Oh neat. It just feels a bit weird compared to the 4 extra Star of Artoria drops I got during Saber Wars but I'm guessing this is a sub 1% chance or something and I just got lucky back then.

I think the next significant event CE is during Onigashima and that gives you 5 without drops.

Joint Recital in the second Nero Fest is also great but requires a fifth copy to drop, but you can buy it with rare prisms as well I think.

I wound up working eight days straight and training for a new position during the event, so I only got so much done during the event. I think the majority of my grinding was done while half drunk over an eight hour period.

hello
I'm spending the last hour farming the Cav node for the last bits of prisms and to hopefully get 1 or 2 more Hearts of a Foreign God. I still need 16 of those things for Jalter's level 9 skills. I might be setting myself up for disappointment by farming for her this early, but whatever, if I don't get her I can feed the mats to a different Servant. Like Waver who is going to stay stuck at skill level 4 since I need those Pages for Jalter.

Well I emptied the shop of everything but the monuments/pieces/final CEs (got the MPs) which I'm pretty happy with! Although, I mostly farmed the cavalry (gently caress that dragon) so I'm still very low on horseshoes :sweatdrop:. Oh well, can't have everything.

With this, I'll be able to make the ultimate pie!
Cleared out the shop of everything except pieces and monuments; even having some leftover to pick up some Saber monuments. I didn't intend on getting all the chocolates at first, but after I saw how cute and amusing the scenes were, I ended up grabbing all of them. Farming the event wouldn't have been that easy if I hadn't gotten five Choco Maids while chasing Nero Bride. Speaking of Umu, I decided to dolphin last minute on the banner just as it was going away, as I already have Tamamo and NP2 Vlad, so NP2 Nero Bride would make my arts team crazy strong.

Well... make that NP2 Tamamo. The rate-up is a lie, but I haven't spent all the quartz I bought yet, so let's try again. Ooh, that's a gold Saber card! Hi Mordred... and yes, your father is here and sitting at NP3.

I feel super conflicted. On one hand, I got two 5*s for cheap, and that's always awesome! But on the other hand, NP3 Altria more than covers my AoE NP Saber needs.
