Games Fate/Grand Order

And there's going to be a 1/2 AP campaign for all free quests from Fuyuki to Septem: http://fate-go.us/news/?category=NEWS&article=/iframe/2017/0914_freequesap_campaign/

The best chance to farm for some mats I guess, if someone is willing to do that. Looks like they want to fill some more time before Okeanos, that's probably coming pretty soon after this.

 

[syx]

It's a bummer that we get the Altria pickup event, but there is no reason for them to leave it completely out for NA. I think I will pull again once Okita hits NA. :3

1/2 AP for story quests sounds okay. I need a lot of Dragon Fangs, but I can't farm them on Fridays in the Monster Hunt Novice quest, because I need to farm the advanced difficulty for Gems of Caster and Hearts of the Foreign God. That's why I try to farm the Dragon Fangs in the Thiers quest in Orleans on Monday, Tuesday and Saturday since I don't need to farm the Monster Hunt quests on these days. But the Dragon Fang drop rate has been horrible in Thiers for me so far. Therefore, I gladly take the 1/2 AP event.

Based on the JPN event overview - whose link niichan provided -, I made something similar for the NA version. I will update it as we move on. It's nothing special, but you can kinda compare the chronology between NA/JPN and see the next few Gacha events according to the JPN version. I welcome every suggestion to improve it.

 

[Jammin]

You have my pity syx. I had to farm 15 dragon fangs for Liz and it was brutal. Not sure how long it took but it definitely seemed like forever. Having used both the daily and the recommended campaign mission they honestly seemed about the same grind-wise.

I'm kind of in limbo right now because everything I want to ascend has hit the ceiling of what's materials are available. Like Chaos Claws, Reverse Dragon Scales, and Serpent Eyes. Which you technically get via Friday Monster Hunt but the odds are so remote it's barely worth trying.

So, until friendship summon coughs up another servant I want to level(Medea, Ushuwakamaru), I'm just kinda waiting around.

Damn, farming those Dragon Fangs was a huge pain in the ass. At least I gained the amount of Dragon Fangs I was aiming for my good units. 1/2 AP quests are good and all, but it takes forever to deplete your AP if you are doing 3 AP quests. They should consider to implement the "2x AP - 2x Rewards" option.

By the way, did anyone pull during the current pickup event? The rate boosted Servants are rather good, except for Stheno. Part of me wants to pull, but I will stand firm and wait for Okita. :3

Here is the updated NA Gacha Overview. It seems the JPN version didn't get our current Septem pickup event. At least not the exact same event.

Okeanos is finally live.

And with it a place to farm Dragon Fangs with a 50% drop rate.

Also places to get crystals, lanterns, and serpent jewels. But the main thing is that we will never have to spend what seems like a million years farming Dragon Fang's again.

 

[syx]

Wow, 50% drop rate in an Okeanos quest for Dragon Fangs? Why did I even bother to farm them? I still need a lot of Dragon Fangs for my low-mid tier Servants.

I'm happy that Okeanos hit NA finally. Though, I'm just slowly advancing through the story, because of the daily quests. I better check if some materials have a better drop rate in Okeanos, otherwise I'm just wasting AP. xD

The NA version skipped the Tamamo pick up event, most likely due to the release of Okeanos. The rated up Servants:

• 5* Francis Drake - Rating acc. to Cirnopedia: A 5.5 in the 5* Servant pool (Altera has the same rating)
  
• 4* Anne Bonny & Mary Read - Rating acc. to Cirnopedia: S 8.5 in the 4* Servant pool (Emiya has the same rating)
• 3* Euryale - Rating acc. to Cirnopedia: EX in the 3* Servant pool (Cu and Robin Hood have the same rating)
• 3* David - Rating acc. to Cirnopedia: EX in the 3* Servant pool (Cu and Robin Hood have the same rating)
• 3* Hector - Rating acc. to Cirnopedia: B in the 3* Servant pool (Leonidas and Cu Caster have the same rating)

Euryale and David seem to be high tier 3* Servants. But you will get them one way or the other anyway. There is no reason to pull now to get them. Hector is fodder. Drake isn't that high on the 5* tier list, so as long as she doesn't pique your interest, there is no reason to pull for her either. Anne Bonny & Mary Read is probably (one of) the strongest Rider Servants in our version.

Well, I don't care much for Drake and as a Martha owner - who is a decent Rider Servant - I don't feel the need to pull for Anne Bonny & Mary Read, thus I will skip this event and won't pull. Not to mention that Okita is coming closer and closer. I have to stay strung!

Can't say much about the new CEs. As long as we don't get the difficult contents, it's hard to classify which CEs are good or bad for me.

Another pickup event, another NA overview:

Quite a bit of stuff coming for FGO:

Happy about the rewards but what I really like are that the revamped quests are finally coming Should make farming easier....

They also said that they will officially localize the GudaGuda manga, so the next event (after Halloween) should be safe now, people can look forward to Okita (I know syx does)

And how did you guys like Okeanos? I thought it was good, but not amazing or anything.

Spoiler

Blackbeard was human garbage, but funny at least Jason didn't make for a good final villain though, even if it was interesting to his interpretation in the Fate lore.
I heard the arcs are going to get better and better though, so that's something to look forward to. Can't wait for Camelot

 

[Jammin]

Oh. Revamped dailies!

I'm enjoying Okeanos. Haven't quite finished with it yet but the story has been pretty funny so far. Frances Drake has grown on me as it's gone on, which is good. If I wasn't still in full Moedred farming quartz and ticket lockdown I might even have tried to get her. It's actually a little challenging for me to beat this with story servants because I have no Saber(Fat Ceaser doesn't count. I will never use him.).

With all these events I feel like I have a realistic shot at amassing 300+ quartz before London.

I have my fun share with Okeanos so far and I will probably finish it today. Blackbeard was hilarious at times and Drake is a nice companion. Overall, Okeanos is nothing exceptional but far from being bad in my opinion.

What bothers me is the two-line textbox. Sometimes it gets annoying to tap and tap and tap and tap. I don't have a problem with the length of the convos, but the never-ending tapping kinda disrupts the flow of my read. I would prefer a much bigger textbox.

 

[Jammin]

Halloween event starts this week.

After how funny the last event like this was, the moon bun one, was I'm looking forward to this quite a bit. Plus a chance to farm Reverse Dragon Scales. Plus, I somehow I STILL don't have Medea. So a caster version of Liz is actually going to be useful.

 

[Kato756]

Hey guys, just started fate, got meself some OK servants.
I´d say my best ones are Lancer Cu (I have both but I prefer the stay version) and Carmilla (Assasin)
Also I can´t help but use Lu Bu XD

I have seen some sites say that David is a great 3* archer, should I use him? I am using Arash as off now whenever I feel like I need to use a Archer.
Also have Saint Georgios, love using him and mash plus evasion, gives me 2 free turns, tho dmg output is low, so I need a good suport.

That seems like a good team to me. Carmilla's really great.

Personally, I'm not committing too deeply to any Archers just yet because Nobunaga is coming at some point in the relatively near future. That will give everybody a pretty nice 4 star archer to play with as a quest reward.

--- Double Post Merged, Oct 15, 2017, Original Post Date: Oct 15, 2017 ---

If you need support I suggest waiting until you get Hans Christian Anderson. He's a 2 star so he should show up in free summons fairly quickly. He's sneaky badass with his ability to NP spam healing.

Mash: Lv 40
Arash: Lv 40
Georgios: lv 45
Fat Saber lv: 30

Hassan (Stay)
Saint Martha
Romulus
That white assasin girl from Rome Chapter
Rider (Stay)

Sorry for listening them all, but since tier lists seem a bit incosistent and you guys look like experienced players

I mainly use Cu (Stay) and Mash with a Berzerk Suport for survival + dmg

I'm so jealous of that Medea and Ushiwakamaru. You have no idea. They're both supposedly great.

And you have Saint Martha too. Not sure if she's good but she's entertaining as hell in the story parts. Looks to me like you are really rider rich.

BTW my Medea is with NP at level 3 alreay XD.

Any sugestions of parterns for Ushiwakamamruamraumraurmu?
Never used her nor looked into it

Yayyyy, another FGO player. Welcome to our small but awesome FGO community, Kato! : )
May I ask why you didn't reroll a 5* Servant account? Just curious.

It's still difficult for me to rate Servants myself. Since the NA version lacks tough content, no Servant really stands out as a good or bad one. At the beginning I used this tier list to decide which Servants are worth ascending/leveling/to skill up, but that tier list has become a controversial subject lately. I would advise anyone to take this tier list (niichan may have posted it before) as a reference. It features NA Servants only and includes a short explanation on why they received the specific rating. That's what it says about David:

David is a solid offensive and support Archer with a well-varied kit at his disposal. With a BAAAQ card set, his NP gain is fairly good despite his mediocre base NP gain, and unlike EMIYA his NP gain from his Quick card is relatively good. With his powerful 50% def buff and harp of healing’s 1 hit dodge he can protect both himself and his allies effectively on a short cooldown, while also bolstering the team’s offense with his charisma.

As an Archer, his weaknesses would be his awful star generation and inability to perform Buster chains with his NP, limiting his critical damage potential. In spite of this, he possesses the second-highest attack stat of any 3* servant after Lu Bu, as well as a NP with handy side effects and a strong skill set to compliment it.

[Jammin]

Yeah, I've kind of stopped trusting the various tiered lists. Because I think enemy type and team construction matters more than base abilities most of the time.

Like Liz is supposed c tier but I have my current team built around her damage output. So for me she's great.

Never used her nor looked into it

Ushi is valuable because she hits pretty hard for a Rider. She also has a fairly good NP. And her first two skills give increased NP charge rate and Increased damage to the whole team. The third is a self evasion but that's the endgame one.

So she works great as an anti-demon or anti-caster rider or just a generally strong addition to quick and arts teams. Not great for buster teams though.

Wow, the Gacha god was with me today

So my reason for rolling in this new gacha was mainly for the event CEs, to make farming easier. I then started to use my two tickets

1.Ticket: Crap, 3* Servant
2. Ticket: 5* CE Little Halloween Devil

I then thought lady luck might be on my side, so I did a 10.roll...

First I got the 4* CE from the Halloween event, then the summoning circle started to shine golden. You can imagine I was on the edge of my seat, but it turned out to be Carmilla... which I already have. Near the end I got another 5* CE (Another Ending) I didn't have yet. So overall I was still pretty pleased.

Now I thought that's quite a bit of luck already, so maybe another 10-roll will actually bring me something great.

First few cards were all useless... then the summoning circle started shining golden again. And I was on the edge of my seat again, when I saw it's a golden Caster card. Yep, it actually turned out to be Tamamo
Was pretty damn happy already, then the last card turned out to be my second Kaleidoscope, the best 5* in the game

I was out of quartz but it seems I finally had some EX luck in this game. What a great way to start the day

--- Double Post Merged, Oct 17, 2017, Original Post Date: Oct 17, 2017 ---

well besides that I'm actually enjoying the Halloween event so far, even though I think the whole CE business this time is unnecessarily complicated. How are you guys doing so far?

I'm liking it but I'm just in the mood for a grindy event. Definitely a lot of currencies and craft essence bonuses to keep track of but hopefully that keeps things interesting.

Lots of legitimately valuable things in the store too. Those reverse dragon scales.

Storyline seems funny so far too.

--- Double Post Merged, Oct 18, 2017, Original Post Date: Oct 17, 2017 ---

So some guy(or gal) on friends list not only has Tamamo and has her at lvl 80. How?!

 

[Kato756]

Well, farmmy farm time.
Pulled one summon, no luck on it outside of one more Divine Banquet (lv 50 already)
Awesome tamao pull niichan, congratz


Caster Liz seems like a good character to me (I like more Individualized characters like Cu instead of combo ones), and the fact that she has 3 arts cards and one Red NP makes me think she could make a meme team with some Berserk.

Got lucky and dropped the Halllowed Princess while on normal mission, that made me really happy XD. I also have a friend with Little Devil equipped and 2 Jack o Lantern CEs.

Going for the Crystalized Lore and Dragon things (As I have understood these are rare drops), and if time allows it then the other ascecion materials (already got the Lolipoop)


On the topics of CEs, just to tell you guys ( I like showing what I got and see what you guys have)

5*
-Limited/Zero Over
-The Black Grail
-Hallowen Princess

4*
-Divine Banquet
-Seal Designation Enforcer
-Primeval Curse
-Verdant Sound of Destruction
-Be Elegant
-Projection
-Holy Shroud of Magdalene (this one makes Okeanos a breeze)
