Board 8 > Fate/Grand Order is out today.

(+) Yeah! (+)

What do you do with extra Servants once you've leveled that Servant's NP up to max? I have so many Sasaki Kojirous...

What should I be doing with craft essences from friend summons? They seem pretty weak so I don't know if it's worth leveling them up or if I should be selling them or what

They're useful because you don't have enough Cost to equip high rarity ones on all your high rarity Servants. I'm currently using two of the one star ones.
---

Should I be doing all the daily exp item quests every day, or just the highest AP level one that I can do?
---

Highest AP one is best for AP. Other ones are only good if you want Mana Prisms. Not sure how important those are. Probably more important once your Servants are getting close to being maxed (IE can't ascend them...).
---

From what I gather, Japanese endgame is to do the 40 AP exp quest once, then do the 30 AP one for the rest of the day to sell silver cards for mana prisms.
---

Thanks for having such a great Elizabeth, Afro. Very useful against those archer enemies.
---

Is something like this...

Level 51 Zhuge Liang
Level 30 Marie Antoinette
Level 40 Elisabeth Bathory

enough for the 40 AP Ember Gathering? Never done a 40 AP so not sure how much harder it is than 30
---

Oh right, I probably want friends!

331.765.169

Name is Jolyne, went with a female because the male looks so doofy, lol. Best servant atm is a level 32 Vlad, planning to get him at least to his first ascension when we get our first Berserker day.

Swap the Marie for a support servant slot, and it should be. Just avoid Rider/Saber day!

You're welcome! Archer enemies can be a pain with that 3-turn NP gen.

Also, I did another 30 roll and got Altera >_>. Arturia will be in my All slot and Altera in my Saber slot; Arturia will have the FP CE and Altera will have Buster CE

Are there Berserker days? I thought they just appeared on all the other days in low numbers.

What do you mean by support servant slot? If you mean friend/guest then Elisabeth would be that. I could use a 5 star unit instead of her but I just figured for today's archer/caster I should go for type effectiveness.
---

Berserker be only level 17 woops.

Taking me some time to get used to this game
---

I think he was assuming that Elizabeth was your Servant. You might have a bit of trouble with that party, but I dunno how effective Zhuge is in general. Will partly depend on luck. You have those command spells though (probably), so you can always use those too.
---

How many of the servants in this game are completely new to F/GO? Like in general if I see a character from outside of F/SN or Fate/Zero, will they usually be from some other thing or wholly made up for GO?
---

Lots are original. Some are from Extra and Apocrypha though. Apocrypha has a lot... Not sure if any are from Fate/Strange Fake? Saber Lily is from Unlimited Codes, though I'm not sure if that has any other original Servants. And there are a couple from April Fools Day jokes. Not to mention Rider's sisters and Angra Mainyu, who're from Hollow Ataraxia.
---

Are strengthening quests out yet? Curious because I pulled Emiya, and I saw he's a beast after those?
---

What counts as a Master's Mission? I cleared a couple daily quests and my counter never went up from 6 to 7 to finish it

Man, kind of crazy how viable even 1 stars are.
---

used a level 70 Jeanne instead of Elisabeth went pretty fine

Yeah, I saw those there and I feel dumb now. What do I gotta do to get the Gem drop one?

Man I want the Rainbow Laser Whipsword Saber after using her as a friend unit. She's so cool. If only I'd known when rerolling was a thing that wouldn't cost me like 40 Star Quartz in login bonuses.
---

on the other hand it would probably cost you a lot more than 40 to try and get her now without rerolling unless you're feelin LUCKY so it'd proooobably still be worth it to go for her

if you were so inclined

the event quests normally, though i think the one today mainly drops pieces/monuments

Man they are pretty optimistic on saint quartz pricing

Eh. She's not must have to me, just a 5* I think would've been worth rolling for when the other 4 weren't so much. Maybe down the road I'll take some cracks at rerolling for her + Gilgamesh or something.
---

BTW what are the mechanics with banner 5* drop rates vs off banner.

Like Record Keeper it's basically impossible to get an off banner 5*. Brave Exvius only 50% will be on banner. Which is it closer to?
---

Damn I only have 1 day left for this mission, but yeah none of them today seem to be dropping any kind of gems.

Tom Bombadil posted...

Its the same price as every other gacha.
---

just gotta wait for sales

(or don't pay of course)
---

Hm actually Start Dash Campaign doesn't seem to have a timer, rather just the first 7 logins maybe I didn't lose said Quartz and only lost like 10 from login bonuses

How do I reroll anyway. Do I have to delete the game/clear cached data every time or is there a less annoying way in this one. I may give it a few since worst case I can just reload my old data.
---

Save your code just in case.

But yeah, you clear the game data and keep replaying the game until the 2nd pull.
---

I really want to try and reroll to get Hercules + 5* character, but I tried it before and never saw a single 5*. I wouldn't also mind getting Saber Alter but she's just a 4*

Sounds like Brave Exvius is the same. The gacha checks for roll type (rarity + CE/Servant) and then rolls within that set (50% banner, 50% everything).

Saber Alter is joked about as a 4.5*. At the same level, she actually does more damage than 5* Arturia due to mechanical reasons, like hating a multi-hit rather than a single powerful hit NP.
---

I believe you can't get Saber Alter until after finishing the prologue?
---

Is the 3* Caster you get from the prologue any good? He's my only real Caster at the moment. So far I've been managing just fine using Artoria, Shielder and Emiya

Mac Arrowny posted...

Right, she and Caster Cu are locked behind clearing Fuyuki.

He's survivable, but probably the third worst behind Mephistopheles and Shakespeare. Waver/Zhuge wins the game once fully leveled (5* stats and skills that buff+generate NP), Hans spams his own NP to buff and heal your team (but suffers from terrible stats early on), and Medea is the only real damage caster right now (with the right setup, she can NP-shank the enemy every turn for 3-4 turns at a time).
---

Oh, I do have the F/SN Rider. Forgot about that. So how do I get Saber Alter? I already cleared Fuyuki so is it from doing all the extra quests? There was one or two with lv40 as the suggested level.

No, now that Fuyuki is cleared there's the chance to roll Saber Alter in the Gacha.

Also, level 40 is the Shadow Berserker quest and you will die.
---

Oh, ok. I'd love to have her, but I'll probably just save my Quartz for a while.

I might be wrong, but I believe banners don't affect the drop rate of actually getting a 5* at all, it will always be 1%. If you roll a 5* during a banner, the chance of it being one of the banner units goes up, but not the chance of a 5* itself.

He means what are the rates of the 5* pull being the banner unit.

Like exvius the rate for pulling a 5* unit stays at 1% from the pulls. But if you do get that 1% rainbow pull there's only a 50% chance of it being the banner unit.

Does Vlad suck, or is there something I'm missing here?

No vampire jokes, please.

Vlad wants to be friends with people who have lots of Artes cards/Artes buffs. Without them, he is sad.

Oh no, I was rerolling but now I'm getting communication errors
and can't install the game :( did I screw it all up?

Only a little. There is some sort of countermeasure in place, where if you reroll too many times in a window of time you get locket out for a bit. Not sure of the details but it's just a temporary block.
---

Either gems don't drop on the weekend or you have to play the higher AP daily quests to get them. I did get a couple Ascension statue things though so that was neat

So from the F/GO panel during Anime Expo. We're getting 20 Saint Quartz.

That's really it from it. They didn't talk about any upcoming updates.

The panel was really just a screening of the English dub of First Order, and then like 20-30 minute talk of staff people and Artoria's VA saying how happy they are of F/GO's English release.
---

It'll be 20 for everyone who has an account at some point tomorrow, so try to make sure you're done any re-rolling by then...

Also they said Gilgamesh was coming to the game soon, so it's not as if they didn't talk about any updates at all.
---

I ascended Hercules and F/SN Lancer. Lancer is now way better than my Emiya, at least stats-wise plus his NP is leveled up a bunch.
---

Also, while I knew ascending changed their portraits I did not know it could also change their in-battle sprites. That's cool.
