I'm thinking about Scath, Lady Avalon, Tomoe, and Nitocris.
Ooku was originally a limited time event and Heian Kyo is an actual story segment so I would think Ooku would be shorter. Heian Kyo is apparently 16 acts so it's relatively short for a story segment. It would be good to get Heian Kyo out of the way since it does have some impact on the main story while Ooku does not other than introducing Kama, which is important for Ordeal Call #1.
Over half way through the advanced quests now. Over 100 SQ tied to clearing these now but I'm now adding 50 junk CE to my already clogged storage. Some are easy, some are complete BS. the dry eyes and 2 masochist spriggans were just delay tactics, taking 18 and 21 turns respectively for me. used Zhuge, Merlin, Castoria to stay alive and wait out the quest mechanics.

Avalon's is pretty great too. If I don't get either of those story chapters done before the deadline, I'll probably grab hers. I liked Nito's as well, but no way am I gonna get LB7 clear before the exchange period ends.
I did "most" of Ooku when it first released, but didn't finish the main story. I've had the permanent version unlocked for a while now, and I was hoping it saved my progress from the original run, but nope, it's making me start at the beginning. Is Heian Kyo the one where we get the 2nd plugsuit mystic code (the other one with the character swap skill)? I know we get a Kintoki costume, but I can't remember which one gives the Mystic Code. I'd like to get that sooner than later.
I haven't checked those yet, but for 100 SQ, I might throw my hat in at them.

Need to finish Tunguska for that mystic code.
You get 9 SQ for every several advanced quest you finish, possibly up to 144 SQ. Gotten over 100 myself, working on 34/36 achievement. Some are fun, others are needlessly janky. Had to Brute force Erin's Guardian with a command seal and NP5 beast because I got tired of charm RNG.

Had a different game running on auto in my pocket with touch protection on and pull it out to find fgo on the summon screen on the result after a single summon on the limited banner.
Luckily my pocket only did a single pull with a ticket... Was panicking for a few seconds...

Never question it when it happens.
Had the same thing happen with Summer Jean Archer where I got several in a row but on the same day, one right after the other. Think that was before the history function though.
I thought there was another 100+ or so from other missions? I mass collected so I don't know what they all were. I have less than 10 remaining on the over 1000 quests in that category.
Some of the missions are tied to the Ordeal Call daily mission resource collection I keep mentioning. Those are time gated since you can only do 3 a day and some nodes require several days worth of collecting. I'm only at 80/100 nodes unlocked on the quest, and I started collecting day 1. I could unlock a few but I'm keeping some extra on hand, no point on going broke when I still wouldn't hit 100.

Well that's a bummer. I've been waiting for this Bradamante rank up quest since its announcement in JP. Got the buff, and tried it out in a neutral farming stage (highest level QP farm) and the added NP Gain to her skill is basically useless. With overkill on 3 targets, I can still only charge 47% NP on round 2 using Kaleido, which means I still need to bring a NP charge mystic code.
I'll piss around with different setups later to see if I can use a different CE and a Mystic Code that gives some more NP gain or Quick up or something. Like why couldn't they just make it refund 50% on a neutral overkill, if they were going to bother to add it. 47% is just...
*edit*
Forgot I can use the starting NP append skill too, maybe to drop Kaleido for a quick/NP gain CE.

I feel you. Aesc is a nice looper, but not as good as my Melusine with double Koyan and Oberon.
But eh, she's also Morgan, so I'm happy regardless.

I wish buster loop wasn't so many buttons. It's nice that you don't have to worry at all about NP refund, but i get so tired of doing all the buffs and swaps and stuff. I was hoping I could use Brad for non-saber nodes since Quick is the fastest/least button presses, but also the least consistent.
Looks like my Summer Ibuki isn't getting a break anytime soon.

If it's just a matter of party cost, dragon's meridian is a 3* you can get from the FP summon that boosts start NP pretty good when MLB.

Nah I'm just trying to find a good setup that works with Brad + either a 10% NP Mystic Code or a 60% CE. Haven't had time to dig into the math yet.

I can't believe this. I've never gotten a 5* to NP5 before (Ruler Altria at NP4 and Melusine at NP3 were the highest until now), but with Aesc I have. And the 5th copy was off those 10 tickets from the login thing going on.

No luck on the Summer banner so far (though I did get Suzuka). To be fair, I only had 31 quartz, 2 tickets, and a prayer.

Well, I got NP2 of Chloe and Suzuka and NP3 Castoria in ~320 quartz. Stupid desire sensor though, I'm not a fan of Saberfaces, and there's already been too many, so of course that's where I get lucky on my 5*s. I bet Melusine is going to be a bloodbath for me with terrible luck, I can feel it.
Regardless, I did better than expected this time. NP2 or 3 Chloe was my main goal, so I can stop here for now and see how the next banner goes.

These summer banners are pain for strictly F2P. I tried like 2-3 years ago to to not spend, and yea, it didn't work out, so I spent.
The greatest trick Lasagna ever did was get me to normalize pulling for NP2. The VAST majoritiy of these servants I never even use, but they are still sitting in my account NP2+.
I can see trying for NP2+ with damaging challenge quest-type servants or looper NP characters, but why the fuck I try it for others, I can't explain.

feels that too, I'm sure. He's got an even higher NP2+ % than me, for sure.

That and it's incredibly evil to have it so close to the anniversary banner. I got Aesc to NP5 by some weird chance, but also blew everything I'd been saving. But it's my fault. I got my third and fourth copy on back-to-back single rolls, I wanted to see if I could get the fifth.
Right now, just doing the summer banners with singles as I can (from the quartz I get from the event and logins).

Yea true. Anni servants have been more miss than hit for me for a few years now, but it's still devious. I feel like every other anniversary we got a lot more anniversary rewards than this year, too. Maybe it's because a chunk of it was tied into Ordeal Call and I'm still on LB6. The only rewards I got specifically for the anni were the limited time "make progress in the main story" quest rewards, which I think was like 50~. Though, to be fair, I still haven't touched the Advanced Quests and those rewards, so maybe that added up. But I remember in past years having like 600 SQ from freebies for having characters ascended or something.
We'll get the 10 new monthly shop tickets before the event ends too, for a few more chances.

It's from the event.
Note that there's some nods to LB6 in the event story so if you're close, you might ant to finish LB6 first.
Lots of dialog in the event so make sure you leave time for it.
Mostly depends on my luck. Some I have to give up on on NP1.These summer banners are pain for strictly F2P. I tried like 2-3 years ago to to not spend, and yea, it didn't work out, so I spent.

if it's being insanely generous, i want to see how far it goes, like with NP8 summer Skadi.
i got NP6 summer Tamamo trying to NP2 summer Mordred. NP7 space Ishtar trying to NP5 Jane.
Most of my permanent servant NP5+ are from spooks.
if stakes aren't high, I sometimes use lesser used servants.
There's been times my good luck was tied to single rolls. One of my summer Mel's was a single roll. A couple of my Jean archer were single rolls in a row.
If you're willing to spend a few bucks, the paid once a day on a banner is 1/3 the SQ cost. More than $0 but won't break the bank.

Whew. Took me 3 days of on/off playing to get through Heian Kyo
Really fun story. The last fight was maybe the most anime fight in the game so far.
This is officially the most work I've ever done for a CE. Raita better appreciate what I did for his art.
Probably don't need to spoiler tag this since it's mostly just the 3 of us and I know you two already beat this, but oh well.
Since my goal was to beat it before the CE shop closed, I'll probably hold off on finishing LB6 now and start on the summer event proper. I wanna make sure I get and NP5 Summer Medb (welfare).

So a few unanswered questions I had about the story, and random thoughts.
- Who was Kintoki's caster supposed to be? Did I miss a minor reveal earlier in the story or something? Was it supposed to be Abe-no-Seimei after all?
- The Tsuna/Ibaraki side story. Was it supposed to be that the woman he loved was raped by a demon, so she locked herself away, then she had the baby (Ibaraki), and then baby Ibaraki killed her after birth and ran away? It would explain why he kept going easy on her.
- Did I miss an explanation for how Nursery Rhyme revived after she started dispersing? From what I read, they just kinda said "it was due to your support and well wishes" and dropped it entirely.
- If I recall, this was the first chapter that had Ibuki-Douji. Her role felt extremely minor considering the fanfare and overall strength. Was there one of the psuedo singularities about her that I missed or something? Is her only screen time LB5.5 and then the Skadi summer event?
- I think Abe-no-Seimei is going to be a servant one of these years. They really wanked him and since he didn't get a character model or even an NPC portrait, they're probably saving it for a big event, maybe with a famous Fate character as a Demi servant (maybe Waver alter or something?)
- Did Tamamo insinuate that she was from the "real" timeline and she just used her beast powers to travel to the singularity to see what was going on with Limbo? She had a bit of dialogue at the end that made it seem like she wasn't originally from that time/place. Or was that Koyanskaya in disguise?

This event is text heavy so make sure you leave plenty of time to do it if you plan on reading it.

Yea I'm actually on top of this one for once. I've been really enjoying the event story. Having Mordred be a cosplaying idol has been incredible gap moe. Also I've never been a fan of Saberfaces, but this time it's actually baked into the story (probably a total Takeuchi wank), and Castoria (summer) is unhinged and fun. This might be one of my favorite summers, as far as story.This event is text heavy so make sure you leave plenty of time to do it if you plan on reading it.

Finished the event story. That wasn't just a summer event, it felt like an epilogue to LB6 (character-wise). Gave me the warm fuzzies.
