Support Servants can only use their NPs if they're from someone on your friend's list. If you borrow one from a random, the gauge is locked at 0%.

After you've smashed 5 of them together for a maxed NP, is there anything to do with extra copies of bronze Servants besides sacrifice them for little slivers of QP or exp, or is that it?

Also, how the heck do you level in this game? I have been playing a bit every day and am in Rome now. At the beginning I had a or of levelling stuff and have been using what I get from the friend gatcha but I have slowed down incredibly with leveling and have no idea where I am supposed to be levelling up. I have friends with absurdly high leveled character and I'm not sure how they are doing it.

Daily Quests in the Chaldea Gate. The Ember Gathering ones give one exp card per enemy you kill (9 total) and the highest version gives mostly gold cards once you can do it consistently. It cycles through different class sets each day.

An infinite number of monkeys, given infinite time and quartz, will eventually produce a roll containing 10 5* Servants with no repeats.

And then they'll post it and the entire playerbase will curse all monkeykind as we dump tickets and quartz and get nothing but 9 3*s and a Primeval Curse over and over.

Pierson posted:

Is there a calculator out there that works out how much minimum SQ you'll earn? Excluding stuff we can't guarantee like events, apologems, bonding and general mission/interlude-clearing you still get:

5 tickets a month
15 SQ (login bonuses) a month
10 SQ (master missions) a month
20 SQ per 50 days milestone

Am I missing anything? That's like roughly 50 a month or so (if a ticket is 3 quartz and like 15 SQ is equivalent of 4/5ths of the milestone or something).

Edit; All this is wrong because months don't have 35 days in them what the gently caress? I'm leaving it here anyway though because I'm still curious.

At a baseline, in a 4 week month, you're looking at:

9 tickets
16 login quartz
8 master mission quartz

Outside of February you're probably getting at least one more login bonus and maybe another round of master missions, so more like 17-18 login quartz and maybe 10 master mission quartz.

So that's the equivalent of 51-54 quartz as your consistent minimum per month.

20 from milestones every 50 days means about every other month, so averaged out that's something like the equivalent of 61-64 quartz a month? Probably slightly different since 50 day intervals don't line up quite that neatly but :effort: on doing proper calculations there to get whatever decimal it comes out to.

60 more quartz later, Jack is now NP2, I have a total of 3 each of the 4 and 5* gacha CEs, and I can now Vive me some France. These are by far the best rolls any banner in this game has ever given me.

Retcon posted:

I remember reading that grinding the 50 AP quest is worth it with 5 bonus servants, is that true? I can clear the quest reliably with 2x Santa Alter/Martha/Robin/Jack plus a non-bonus servant, but I'm not sure if I'm better of doing the 40 AP quest with a full team of bonus servants instead.

With your team, you should be getting 206 stockings per run from the 50 AP. With an extra +1 servant, you should be getting 161 per run of the 40 AP. 4.12 socks per AP on the 50 v.s. 4.02 per AP on the 40. If you can clear the 50 reliably, it's slightly more efficient, but the difference between them should be small enough that it doesn't really matter much.

Read Mordred isn't that great a 5 star but overall that's an account worth sticking with right?

Herc, a second good 4* and any 5*'s a pretty good starting point. Unless there's some specific 4 or 5* Servant you really want to get ASAP, I'd definitely say keep that.

How important are the other 5K CEs anyway?
