Meantime, let's discuss the Journey to the West event in more detail!
First, the banner: The focus Servants are Xuanzang, who is currently event-limited but will be added to the permanent pool after a later Singularity; Li Shuwen, who will be available in this pool even if you haven't cleared E Pluribus Unum; David, and Lu Bu. Xuanzang is a 5-star Caster with good NP charging skills (self and party) as well as a taunt; her NP is ST Buster with damage and crit chance reduction. With her skill set, Xuanzang is basically designed to spam her damaging NP. Li Shuwen, for those who haven't cleared E Pluribus Unum, is a 4-star crit-oriented Lancer whose skills let him ignore Evade and Invincibility. He also has an Evade button and a Blue button, which is good, because his NP is Arts. His NP is ST DEF-ignoring damage, reduces target DEF, and has a chance to instant-kill.
Hmmmm, I already have David and Lu Bu, so don't fancy the odds on that. Xuanzang and Li Shuwen sound good, but not good enough to throw SQ at. Will probably throw some tickets at the banner again, but that'll probably be it.
Quote:
Next, event bonuses. Enemies have a chance to drop certain items which you can use in the event shop, and certain Servants increase that chance to drop. Xuanzang increases Golden Pill drops, Li Shuwen increases Divine Peach drops, David and Lu Bu increase Steamed Meat Bun drops. Additionally, the following Servants increase Big Lotus Flower drops: Moedred, Arjuna, Karna, Nightingale, Lalter, and the Gorgon Sisters.
Team David, Lu Bu, Euryale and Medusa it is then. Guess I can grab one of the others with support, and room for a spare.
Quote:
The gacha also has event CEs, which you will probably get in place of the Servants you wanted: GO WEST!! increases NP damage, grants stars each turn, and increases Divine Pill drops; True Samadhi Fire increases NP damage and Buster damage, and increases Divine Peach drops; and All Three Forms
makes Medusa uncomfortable increases star absorption and crit damage, and increases Steamed Meat Bun drops. There are also three non-gacha event CEs: The Three Great Heroes increases NP gen and stargen, starts you at boosted NP gauge, and increases Deeds Talisman drops; Divine Princess of the Storm grants the party a DEF buff for three turns when the equipped unit dies, and increases Orb of Deeds drops; and the Ox-Demon King
shows you two big reasons that you want to pull Lalter boosts party Buster for three turns while the unit is on the field, and increases Big Lotus Fower drops. The first two can be purchased from the event shop; Ox-King can be acquired from Challenge Quests which show up later during the event.
The event shop buys those event currencies I mentioned. Big Lotus Flowers can be used to buy four copies of Divine Princess of the Storm, one Crystallized Lore, and ascension mats; Golden Pills can buy two copies of The Three Great Heroes and ascension mats; Divine Peaches can buy one The Three Great Heroes, ascension mats, and Golden Pills; and Steamed Meat Buns can buy one The Three Great Heroes, embers and Fous, ascension mats, and Divine Peaches.
Sauce.
Short version? Very, very grindy, some decent CEs, but don't feel like you're missing out.
Sweet, sweet ascension mats! Come to daddy~
*cough*
True Samadhi Fire and Ox-Demon King will be higher priority. Divine Princess, Go West, and All Three Forms... I'll grab them if it's easy, I guess.
Rashomon has shown me I can stick it out on the grinding-mill, and since I'm keen for those Crystals and Horseshoes... Grindhouse 2, The Grindening, Grind Harder, etc etc.

Well, then, good news! Enemies in one of the 40AP zones have a good (30%?) chance to drop Dragon Fang! There's some pretty decent farming to be had here. Whilst grinding.
Now get out to Tianzhu and gather those... seven... dragon... orbs?
... man, sometimes I really love the writing for this game.

Re: Fate/Grand Order - Are you my Master?
I did two pulls and threw a spare ticket at the new summon. The ticket was the big winner, it got me Stethno, whom I did not have, so I have all three gorgon sisters now. And I got Li Shuwen on one of the ten-pulls. Which is also nice. I really wanted Xuanzang but ah well.
Now to grind. Forever.

Pretty much every line this event has caused either amused eye rolling or uproarious laughter on my part. The introduction of the "Horse" in particular really got me.

When I saw MUDAMUDAMUDA as an option during E Pluribus Unum or the Fergus Interlude (I can't remember which of those was) I just lost it. :smallbiggrin:
-
Re: Fate/Grand Order - Are you my Master?
All of last event was the best for writing, though waver's interlude where he interacts with the gorgon sisters, mainly stheno, is great too.
edit: also i was serious when i said a hundred dragon fangs... i need to compare the drop rates with new chicago, can the update to our login mats get here faster.

Re: Fate/Grand Order - Are you my Master?
Newish master here (started just before Accel Zero), wanted to say hi, and to drop the ol' friend code: 249,330,879. I'm really enjoying the story of Go West, but not so much the grind.
-
Re: Fate/Grand Order - Are you my Master?
So i caved and bought quartz after seeing Sanzang's NP (its so many levels of amazing) and i did 5 pulls. The last two pulls where utter and complete garbage, but the first two were actually good, as i got Lu Shuwen, a second Beowulf (im ok with this), 3 Go Wests, 5 Samadhi Flames and a few other 4 stars CEs.
On the one hand, im quite happy with the first two pulls, but on the other im rather pissed about how terrible my last pulls were, as they were utter trash.

Wow that's some mixed luck there. I really wanted Li Shuwen, so I rolled 10 tickets, and got KoGil, the Necromancy CE, a Go West and the Samadhi Flames CE, everything else was not worth the roll. Kinda sad, but glad I got the CEs, maybe that will motivate me to actually farm the event :/
Edit: Wow... I bought the monthly tickets and rolled for the 3* CE... Got Xuanzang. I hope this won't affect my chances for DIOrtha...

Re: Fate/Grand Order - Are you my Master?
I just hope the last minute luck I had with my tickets on the shuten douji banner don't impact my luck when lancer Mae comes around.

The temptation is very real... that NP is all kinds of fantastic. I might do one little 10 pull... but I'll probably be disappointed. Argh. If I have "spare" quartz when the banner is close to done, I'll try my luck. Will probably just talk myself out of it though.
Also, that Banana Leaf Fan. So good.
Random question, did anyone ever get an instant death effect to fire on Ibaraki? Between Gae Bolg Alternates and Zabaniyas, I only ever saw a MISS, which seemed to imply there was a chance they could work.

Monthly tickets! I totally forgot about that. Here goes nothing...!
Welp, got me a Florence. Could've been worse.

Re: Fate/Grand Order - Are you my Master?
Used my tickets, too, but all I got for 'em was an All Three Forms and Astolfo. And as adorable as he is, he's a pretty terrible Servant, and frankly his spot is already filled by Santa Orta and why did you say that name, so mostly he's just there to be team mascot.
No Suanzang, no Li. But hey, at least I have the Ox-King.

Nightingale surprised me when I was rolling for Shuten. Between her being my first 5* and Herc being my first 4* this game loves to give me berserkers.

You can get instant death to effect almost any enemy in the game, the problem is...most bosses have such insanely high resistance to it that you'll have better luck pulling Angra Mainyu then you will getting it to actually happen.
In other words, every time you instant death a boss (because it CAN happen) without adjusting their ID rate in anyway, is a few SSR Servants worth of luck you just accidentally used up.
-
Re: Fate/Grand Order - Are you my Master?
Never tried instant death NPs, Jack was too strong to not use and everyone else I used was ultimate stall.
-
Re: Fate/Grand Order - Are you my Master?
I just remembered that monthly tickets are a thing thanks to the posts here. Got 2 Lu Bus, another Medea, another All Three Together CE, and another Storch Ritter CE. Meh.

Yeah, I feel that. I mean, I'm happy to have Flo (she's my first 5*, too!) but I already have so many berserkers. Meanwhile, only one saber. C'mon gacha, where my sabers at?

Fair enough. It'd be super satisfying to just insta-kill a boss like that though!

Jack was great on rider day, but I got consistently waaaaaaaay more damage from Scathach. Probably because I couldn't choose their CEs, as support servants. Which was why I got to see miss after miss with the death effects.
Journey to the West is both much more entertaining and feels less grindy to me than Rashomon, thanks to different quests to choose from.
And being able to mix up teams a bit more. So that's nice, at least.

What the heck pairing is OrtaGale? Is it Lancer Alter and Nightingale? Cause if so, its not weird it is the only reasonable course...so long as you include that rascal son of theirs.

Orta = Alter. So in this case, yes, I'm shipping Ox King and Nightingale. A little.
And honestly, if you want to include Moedred, you really need to see how he reacts around multiple fathers at once. Go listen to the GudaGuda Order drama CD. You will laugh. Especially at Moedred.

Why would you do that to poor lancer alter, she seems to have enough problems already and still helps other people out.
this event... i have barely cleared half the super important stuff after using all my silver and bronze apples plus a couple gold and we are about to get another phase.... i still need to get the current mana prisms from the shop. also need to restock on bones, spell pages, caster gems of all kinds, and grind out some dragon fangs...

Not going to whale for Scathach. I must resist.

Re: Fate/Grand Order - Are you my Master?
Can't wait to gnab me Carmilla!
-
Re: Fate/Grand Order - Are you my Master?
Yeah, I admit I'm on the fence about who to pick.
Fact is, I'm set for a lot of categories. I already have Heracles, EMIYA, Stheno, Carmilla, and Martha; I don't need Tamamog (because Heracles) or Liz (because Lalter). I could get Marie, who is pretty niche, but I have Martha and Santa (and Astolfo, come to think of it). And while d'Eon and Sumanai are both technically better than Lily, my only high-rarity Saber, neither is particularly exceptional; Sumanai is a useful anti-Dragon weapon, but pales against everything else, and d'Eon is a tank, not a spank, so that's somewhat niche.
I suppose I could raise Zerkules' NP, make him even more obscene.
Also: I know I'm not the only one excited about receiving bonus Dragon Fang for the login reward. Oh, the Servants I will skill-up with those...
As for Shishou, I... might actually be able to resist. Granted, Shishou is one of the most overwhelmingly powerful Servants in the game, but I have Lalter, and she's a great big tin can of whoopass.

When push comes to shove, pick the character you just like. If you've got a decent spread like that then you don't really need to pick for game play reasons.
As for the change...I'm not excited about, but for odd reasons. Despite not farming them, I have an abundance of Dragon Fangs (that I know will disappear quickly once I stop using them) but not a ton of Hero Proofs. Like...I have very little Hero Proofs and don't really know where to farm them. So I know, in the future, people will regret not being able to just get Proofs for logging in...but...uhh...I kinda need them now myself. :smallbiggrin:

... How? I mean, how do you not have? I'm practically drowning in the things. They drop from basically every faceless humanoid mook ever.
If you need to farm, though, according to this, the most efficient location is the Pirate Ship in Okeanos ("Band of Corsairs" free mission, 12 AP). Although "efficient" is a finicky term.
