I’m just surprised DW chose those two pillars instead of tweaking the numbers for them all evenly

That would've made too much sense. Even without the charts it was easy to tell they were intervening.

I would love it if there was another way to obtain welfare servants you happened to miss, or their NPs/ascension materials. They let you pick up mystic codes and certain CEs from the rare prism shop once their corresponding events end, so why not servants?

i feel like this is more likely to happen now that they added the system to convert rerun welfares into RP. even though you have stuff like CasLiz mostly being eclipsed by a newer welfare like Sieg, Scath/Nobu/Kintoki definitely hurt to miss out on. and Shiki just now fell out of availability i suppose

why didn't they just assign a 4x multiplier to pillar kills. like, have a chance to deal 3x or 5x instead so it isn't too obvious what's going on, but it seems like the obvious way to make up for the difference in numbers.

alternatively, take the easy way out and reduce the kills needed instead of keeping the arbitrary 2m number for literally no reason. it's not like it has thematic significance

i just assume NA isn't allowed to or given the resources to tweak this stuff at a level beyond what they're doing. the execution of the fake kills leaves something to be desired but i guess i have more issues with the base structure of this whole thing than their half-rear end attempt to ensure we get through it.

More apples would definitely be appreciated, yeah. I'm down to about 8 gold (+ ~10 bronzes I'm saving for the last batch of story fights) and they're gonna evaporate immediately in the hunt for Lanugos. And keeping even that much of a reserve meant only squeezing about 6-7 Gallstones out of Sabnock and resigning myself to living on Mt. Ebih for a while when this is done to prep for MHXA.

So Brynhild is like, every Noto Mamiko character stereotype? Or maybe I'm just weirded out because she seems like a slightly less depressed Ichi, from Sengoku Basara

DEMAGLIO!
I don't know Ichi but Bryn is cursed to fall in love and then murder whoever she falls in love with, and she's incredibly aware of both that fact and how hosed up that is. So she's extremely depressed.

As a reminder, if anyone is hunting for Musashi she requires a huge number of the brand new Primordial Lanugo gold material for her skills. Lanugos that incidentally have a fairly high drop rate off of Andromalius.

It's about 90 AP per drop, compared to the best node in Babylonia being around 120 AP per drop.

So not super high, but definitely the best you're getting outside of future events. (Or half AP free quests.)

I think seeing all the event and trial Servants come in has been the most hype for me, even past seeing Jason act like the player base with the whole "let Heracles take care of it". This is truly a battle to save the world! Hold nothing back!

The problem with the event servants coming in is if you’re slow to clear the story then Dantes shows up and you’re like “Who?” because you missed the event.

The dantes event almost shouldn't have been an event for how actually relevant to the plot it was

Got Martha on the arcade version today. Nothing if not on-brand.

I’m beginning to suspect that the main reason the arcade game exists is to fleece players from abroad who come to Japan on holiday, it sure does let you force a lot of money down it.

I've been on NA since day 1 with an account rerolled on day 2, conserve the majority of my apples for events and don't think I've ever had more than maybe 70 at once, tops, usually sub-40. What is the secret I'm missing to always having >100 in reserve without massively neglecting event shops/exceptional nodes?

The secret is, you don't need to buy everything from the shop. I really only focus on what mats my servants currently need. There is no need to get dragon scales if you already have a small supply and no one needs them currently or in the near future.

I usually grab everything from the shop, but my secret is that I don't go super overboard on lotteries, usually only grabbing 20-30 boxes.

I don't usually get Fous/exp/pieces/monuments in event shops, ignore exceptional nodes unless its also lotto related, and tend to roll on event banners so have a bunch of event CEs to cut down on grinding.
