I agreed. An extra 10 level now is mostly inconsequential.
Agreed. Get those mana prisms, monuments, QP, whatever. Wasting hundreds of AP on things you can easily get in events seems like a bad time.
But hey, play how you want. That's kinda what this game has going for it.
Yeah, I guess not everyone is a min-max kinda player
I'm mostly focused on getting my level up for the increased team cost and the increased AP, so I'm mostly doing the QP events.Mr.Deadshot

Yeah that was my initial plan. Let's see how this turns out

What are mana prisms good for? I have around 300, but the only thing that seems really useful about them is exchanging them for Summon Tickets, but at the rate they're restocked, you can never not have enough for the first day they're restocked...
Eventually there will be CEs you can buy that cost 1000+ MP. Some folks are just getting a head start on that now.
I had no idea about that. And here I was using them on Summon Tickets...

Well, that's good to know. I'll start saving them for later then.
So, yesterday I was lucky enough to get all monuments I needed for Jeanne, and today I'm just missing 1 Berserker for her next Ascension, and maybe 1 more Caster monument for Medea while I'm here, but for hers I need an additional Heart of the Foreign God, and I can't remember where I got the first one...

Also you can trade them in for Fou to boost your char stats an Additional 990 attack and HP. I actually think its a good idea to Fou your favourite character right now since it will be a bigger boost relative to their current stats (990 is like a fifth of your attack when you only have 5K attack), its relatively cheap in terms of mana prisms & QP) and there's no telling when the store will restock so you want to get them now before the restock. Its also a lot more consistent than waiting for a rare material to drop.

You farm the second-highest XP daily for silver XP, since you don't get any more mana prisms per gold XP card.

Are these limited time or permanently in the store once available? I've been burning all my stam on the highest QP/Ascension dailies and ignoring the rest of them. I need to rethink this.
I just run the third highest ember daily a bunch of times and burn all the 3* XP cards, as was mentioned earlier.
Super easy to build up a large portion of prisms. I run it a couple times a day and I've got about 400 stocked and everything but the 4* xp cards bought out of the manaprism shop.
Permanent, I believe. Keep in mind that these are down the road, into the future and some folks think it's a waste of time to be farming MP right now since it's so far into the future. I'm personally not going to worry about it until a few months. You'll be starved for QP long before you have to worry about farming MP.
Edit: If you want to know more, here's a thread about it on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/grandorder/comments/6ls8fm/na_players_consider_farming_30ap15ap_exp_now/
Yes, but I do the 40 (20) ap one since I also want to level my character.
did my final 10 summon for Gil and got a 5* CE (the ones that increases Buster Card effectiveness by 25%) I guess that's good for my Herc
I hope I can get lucky with the free tickets but I guess I'll wait until the next time Gil rolls around, none of the events in the next few months interest me so at least I can save up a nice amount

They are not exactly permanent.
Each one is available for about 3 months. Once all of them have been offered, they will only be available again in the Rare Prism shop.
I think a 3 months limit.
What I do is:
1. Run 15, 20 AP EXP and 20 AP QP daily once.
2. If I need piece, run piece daily.
3. If I need EXP, run 20 AP daily.
4. if I don't need EXP, run 15 AP EXP daily.
Monster hunting (materials) seems to be rather horrible so I skip it - although I need to do the Friday one for Golems.
It's inefficient then to do any of the lower ones? That seems a pretty good strategy though so I may adapt it.
I'm not looking forward to running those but I need mats especially golems for Heracles. The revamp where each day is focused on a specific class sounds like it may be a bit more bearable.
Ah, thanks. I thought I read they were permanent, but 3 months it is. I'll see how many I get organically before I start the farm for them.
I'm just doing 1 20 AP EXP run then 1 20 AP PQ run then repeat until the 1/2 AP daily thing runs out. At this point farming materials doesn't seem worth it beyond what I've already done, so I am just seeing how high I can get my level before this event ends.
I need a real grinding event or a servant I actually want to try to roll for. Sadly I don't think anything is coming until after the 20th and probably not right away either.

So, the other day I finally got my Waver + Vlad husbando account, so I was already pretty thrilled to have my paper vampire and my finger snapping caster.
Then last night I did a few single pulls and seem to have acquired an interloper.
So now I have my dream account and I just need some friends to go with it while I level them up! My number is 296,022,321 and atm my username is Eris.
Now obviously I've probably exhausted my luck, but I do have a set of pie in the sky dream list characters. It's mostly based on art, with a backup helping of voice actors, and... well, in all honesty, it's too long to be taken seriously. It's not as much an "I want ALL OF THEM" list as much as it's an "I'd be thrilled to get any of them" one though
Even so, I've cut it down to the three husbandos and three waifus I'll be crossing my fingers for the most.
It's a little more sane than the full list (or at least I'm telling myself that), but they are all five stars so I'm not entirely sure sane applies.
But I might get one of them, right?
At least most of them get added to the story pool eventually so I'm not going to be completely out of luck when I inevitably fail to roll them when they first appear.
I guess as Bryn doesn't she's the one I should hoard for, but I'll probably break before then.
I also hope to get Rama, the 4* Saber, at some point.
Then last night I did a few single pulls and seem to have acquired an interloper.
I may have stared in disbelief and then gotten a little excited.
Yeah, I'm stoked

Look how cool he looks. He's meant to be pretty good too

I just saw a lv. 90 Jeanne as a support.
Is it easier to ascend Jeanne or something?
And here I'm suffering to give Arturia her crown.

Yeah, you only need pieces and monuments.
Unlike most other units which require monster drops.
Finished all of my available interludes including Artoria's second interlude which cost me all of my command seals because that Dragon made Emiya's Berserker interlude look like a joke. Back up to 28 quartz so I should be able to get one more 10-pull before the end of this banner.
In terms of servants I'm looking at for the long-term:
Mysterious Heroine X, Lancelot (Berserker), Artoria (Lancer), Nitocris and Ryougi Shiki
There's lots more units that I'd like to have and I might even pull on rate-ups for if I happen to have spare quartz or get really lucky with my goal units, but these are the units that I'm absolutely aiming for and might spend if necessary to get them, barring this first Lancelot because I'm not invested in the game enough to spend money yet.
At least Ryougi Shiki will be free if we happen to get the KnK event. If not then I'll have to replace her with Jack or Emiya (Assassin) on my list.

I got 16+ in 180 AP I think. Just farm 5ap daily...

You also need unlimited time for that
I already got Altria, Marie and Elizabeth so in next few months I'll be hoping for Nero and Jeanne.

This game is not a grindblue. It wont take much time even on events.

If I do 20AP quest only I'm getting levels faster than I consume my AP and the only limit is real time.
Or if i decide i want materials I have to finish 7AP free quest 12 times to burn my stamina.
The stamina overrun situation won't last very long.

Saving up all my FP for whenever Angra Mainyu becomes available.
Great advice, I'll be sure to do just that for now.
Best of luck to you!Yeah that was my initial plan. Let's see how this turns out
Yeah, for sure. Even with the upcoming 5* CE, I'd recommend grabbing whatever summon tickets you can first before you start saving.
I've been farming the highest AP one, since the one below it sometimes gives out 2* EXP cards which are useless (no Mana Prism when you sell them). Better rank XP too.
Congrats! That's a pretty amazing account.So, the other day I finally got my Waver + Vlad husbando account, so I was already pretty thrilled to have my paper vampire and my finger snapping caster.

Just 3*
I need the monster materials from today's daily...but given the drop-rates, and not getting the specific classes I need right now, I think I'll just stick with farming XP cards and burning them, as I'll need something like 5k Mana Prism by New Year's so I can fully LB Da Vinci's 5* CE.
My AP feels like a waste otherwise, since I'm having such horrible luck with the material drops. At least this way, I'm guaranteed to see some worth out of it.
