well that's... something

So now that I got a phone that is actually from a somewhat-recent time frame (iPhone 8 w/256GB storage), I reinstalled FGO.

I have no idea what I'm doing. So if I want to get unregistered spirit origins so I can summon a five start servant, all I gotta do is get more than five of single servant? Like if I have five Shakespeare, the sixth one would turn into a USO?

Were it so easy.
You need 5 or more of the same SSR, everything else lower rarity than that is only good for breaking down into Prisms and QP after the 5th copy.

Welcome back to hell. Add me

What's an SSR?

The fuck? So I need more than five of a single 5* to get a USO?

Sooooooo how do you guys grind Quartz?

Any other methods?

Sooooooo how do you guys grind Quartz?

with my wallet

All I want is Arturia, Gil, and Garcher. Fastest way to get just one of them without spending tons of money? Also should I just keep merging craft essence and low level servants with each other until I get more good shit?

There is no real "fast" way to grind quartz without paying money. What you can do is:

-Complet the main story (which will bet you the most quartz in the short term)

-Level your current servants and do their interludes

-Log in every day for a few quartz and a ticket each week

For the servants you want you should check the wikis for their rate ups and HOARD  ALL OF YOUR QUARTZ for that even if it takes LITERAL MONTHS. Don't let a single one go to waste.
As for Emiya, Artoria and Gil in particular:

-Emiya and Artotia are pretty common banner fodder and come up several times a year usualy. They are also not Story Banner locked it limited so there is a very slight chance they can show up at any time you Quartz summon but this should never be relied upon.

 I'm surprised you don't have Emiya already. He's a possibile tutorial servant. Did you not reroll for him &/or Heralcles?

Regardless Emiya will have a solo Rate up as soon as June in the Guda Guda 3 event. You don't have to worry about 5 star and 4 star  servants diluting each other's summon chances. Only servants of the same rarity at the same time will do that.

We are likely getting a second free 4 star ticket later this year so you can get him from that if you don't have him by then.


-There's a billion different Artotia versions at this point but if you are just looking to nab OG Saber, her next solo Rate up is partway the Fate Zero colab event.


-Gilgamesh is a limited servant he is never available exept during his Rate Up Campaigns, bit fortunately Gil is one of the most common limited servants since he seems to always have a Campaign at least once a year. This year your first chance to get him is during his own event which is thankfully replacing Nerofest in-between the Zero colab and Haloween. He will also be on the Thanksgiving banner arround the same time, and then there's a chance he will be in the New Year's banner as well.

I got some blonde french not-Arturia Saber.

D'Eon. He's a tank but pretty meh overall. If there's nothing on the account you are concerned about losing I suggest rerolling untill you Have Heralcles or Emiya or both. Emiya is your goal of course while Herc is just an outright broken servant once you have him leveled
Also do you want in on a discord where where I and others can drop help if you need it?

sent. check your discord pms.

I'd like to thank Das for his support. I was repeatedly doing some mission to kill 15 Rider enemies and I kept having to fight some Pirate dude who kept slapping my party's shit. If it wasn't for your lvl 90 Saber I would've been fucked.

And I'm just hoarding Quartz right now. How many would be good for me to spam a summon until I get Saber?

Is my username just my Master's name? My Master's name is Tabris. Didn't I add you with that nine-digit number?

And I'm just hoarding Quartz right now. How many would be good for me to spam a summon until I get Saber?

so drop rate on 5* servants is 1%
If you do a hundred rolls you should theoretically have one 5* pull.
At 30sq a ten roll this means 300sq minimum.

Now, FGO has no pitty counter and statistics is a fickle bitch, so the standard deviation is more closer to 400-500 sq from sample data of players.
Of course you can also run a particularly cold dry streak and not see any ssr's in 900 sq.

So yeah be prepped to do at least 40 tenners for a banner if you really want that rate up servant. Even more if its split rate up though, so like if two five stars are on at the same time you've got that 1% chance of getting a 5star first and then you've got another head competing for that rate up bonus, so in adition to your normal chance of a spook (non rate up servant showing up instead of the rate up one) you've got an extra chance of not getting the one you want.
That's why the class banners like what we have going on right now are bad if you want someone specific (outside of cases like caster gilles or columbus or johnny sins).

Example: through all of Okita's rate ups I had to spend upwards of 600sq for her first summon. The rest actually came comparatively cheap but man, that first run was rough.
I've never pulled on a rate up for Jeanne but I have four or five of her.
second round of KnK was about 500 sq for my second copy of Void with an Endkidu spook
Jalter's first banner was about 500 usd before two of her appeared in the same ten roll.
I don't want to talk about my Illya rolls but six of her actually came in around a thousand sq and ended up being cheaper than np5ing my medea lilly
Merlin came to me in like, 90sq for two of him though, so sometimes stuff like that happens. I think Melt I got stupid fast too. Third Jalter as well.
Arthur I got in 400sq on the split banner between him and Vlad. Actually wanted a second vlad from that one instead.
My two Shinjuku Archers were actually stupid cheap and came way before my first Hessian Lobo, a 4star that I was actually trying to get from that banner. Fuck Moriarty's geriatric ass I never wanted him.
Abigail was super under the curve for pulling two of her.

so really everything's up in the air and fucking random. Just don't get your hopes in for a banner if you have less than 450sq (or the equivalent in tickets)

Believe it or not I've never actually gotten any Artoria's on her rate up banners. She's NP5(+1USO) for me on pure spook alone. (she'll go back to having a mlb kscope on her after the event in a day so that'll be even more usefull for you with turn one access to her np)

if you haven't figured it out by now I have a fucking problem and when I'm not stockpiling ammunition this is where my disposable income gets thrown to.

edit: oh yeah and I forget that fucking osakabe was an np4 that cost like, maybe 400 sq total. Whack as fuck outlier. My brother got his melt at np5 stupid fucking easy too. Game's whack. Summoning is whack. Rate up is a lie except for when it isnt. Nightingale has been all spook (and one GSSR) too. So yeah be ready to pull five stars that you don't want on banners for servants you do want

I've leveled Medea a bit but my God is she squishy, I'll probably just switch her for someone else. And I'll probably hoard 1k quartz then if I really want muh Seibah.

Medea can't really brawl well yeah (most casters can't, they have a .90 attack modifier by class along with assassins), her strengths lie in an easily spammable NP and shines in her roll as a buff remover because of it.

saber gets a battery eventually tho
she goes from low to midlow kek
