My ticket today got me 5* regular Altria. On the one hand sweet because that's one less card I need to complete my FSN set. On the other hand my 1% luck also beat the 70% Gil chance I guess, gently caress.

Speaking of the shop does it also change every few days like the quest does or what we see is what we get? Most of the mats I want are gold at this point. :(

which medals should I go for? idk anything about nerofest, I thought it was just a fancy name for a nero banner!!
If you don't give a poo poo about optimal or emptying the entire store then just check the store for what items you want and then grind whichever stage gives you those medals.

You need something like 6000AP to buy literally everything, which sounds miserable to grind out. Personally I went for the gears for EMIYA and probably the Crystallised Lore because that does seem legit super-rare. The rest I can take or leave.

Skill materials in general seem ridiculous once you get past rank 3 or 4. Are they like +eggs in PAD and they're the last thing the game expects you to do, only for your favourite servants?

I think they mentioned the Fuyuiki grail was the latest attempt to create/obtain a Holy Grail (including historical attempts to find the actual Grail, not just mage bullshit) but this particular method made by Einzbern And Her Crazy Pals(TM) with the explicit goal of reaching the root via summoning/depositing vast amounts of mana from the Throne was the first time it was systemised, and it got copied a lot? There's nothing intrinsically wrong with how they tried it, they just hosed up real bad by trying to cheat and poisoning the whole thing with Angra Mainyu.

Some piece of media mentions that after the Einzbern method was spread around different groups of cheap scrub-tier non-association mages tried their own, only without a massive leyline/energy system like Fuyuki has. So they all ended up fighting tiny no-name wars using a handful of hosed-up servants that failed even as wish-granters. I don't know if that was a main timeline event though or one of the other alternate timelines, because sometimes the T-M wiki feels like it was machine-translated.

Kill all mages IMHO.

Outside of events are drop-rates always going to be like this or will new storylines and dailies later on provide some better sources? Some of these percentages are very frustrating.

That depends on how far away you think it'll be until Gil comes around again, since my main goal is to make the full FSN crew and he's the last I need.

I'd like Atilla more than Nero but ahahahaha.

Pierson

Is this still the best source for droprates or is there a better one now?

I can see why people didn't like this game at release because errrrr there really isn't that much to do right now, and the AP regen rate means you have to do it very slowly, and the droprates mean you can't even do it very consistently.

Nah, Orion doesn't interest me and aren't the CEs mainly about making Dango-gathering more effective?

The writing feels like it's starting to get better, the storyline is actually enjoyable (although that might be just because they're going for light comedy rather than high drama).

I see you and I share an impossible dream.

Is Orion limited to the event gatcha or does she enter general rotation? I like her, she's goofy and weird.

Alright good poo poo thanks guys, I'll hold off then because I'll probably get like four of her when rolling for Gil.

Also yeah if the writing from here on stays at least as good as this I'm reinvigorated for this dumb stupid anime game.

I wasn't even planning on rolling for this event, but then Artemis went "nyagrllala" (or whatever) and she won my heart. And also my quartz; alas she's a no show.

Which reminds me: is there some way to see translated text for what she (or da Vinci for that matter) is saying in the shop?
The subreddit is usually good for that after a day or so but it swings back and forth between "useful gameplay stuff and fun memes" to "porn and bad memes".

Even with both of their designs toned down in FGO Meltlilith looks way dumber than Passionlip.
