(Sure, wrong Fuyuki Holy Grail War Master for support Saber, but no one had an EMIYA with a Rin CE it a Saber with Limited/Zero Over. I’ll take it.)

a very correct team

Sure, why not?

It’ll give me time to properly finish this off, because I forgot that I needed one more thing to make this right:

Now I’ll be ready.

Take your time! I appreciate getting that slight extra bit of accuracy for a show I haven’t watched/game I haven’t played.

Excellent! I hope the game updates my friends list quickly, haha.

There we go. Thank you for your contribution to this little bit of silliness.

I’m not sure a lot of thought went into the enemy encounters in the quest other than the end, but hey, at least I did.

They did have one of each class of enemy, but do you know what else has that? The Servant lineup in a Holy Grail War.

AAAAAAAAA I KIND OF ZONED OUT AND I FORGOT THIS WAS COMING!!!!

FRAN I’M SO PROUD.

opalinesque !!!

!!!!

SHE'S SO GOOD SILVIE!!

YOSIE YOU MADE IT

I DID IT!! I'M SO HAPPY.

IT'S AN EVENT OF CELEBRATION

Although now I’m able to read the text on her Bond CE that Opal posted when she got it and WOW FUCK YOU NARRATOR FRAN IS WONDERFUL MIRACLE IT’S JUST VICTOR WHO CAN EAT HIS OWN DICK

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONSSSS

I assume the narrator might actually still be victor just looking back on his mistakes

then my point stands fuck you narrator

get out of fran's bond ce

BUT YES THANK YOU I'M SO HAPPY.

time to adjust my support list to join you in gloating

Toodles my horn but not as loudly as Opal.

I am tempted to also put on Liz's Bond CE (my only other right now) but it's a truly worthless CE and then I'd have no Lancer option for grinders.

Okay, worthless is too harsh, but it restores a tiny amount of HP every turn.

(Not as loudly as Opal because I merely raised this good child to level 90. The frankenbride raised her to 100.)

Mona Lisa is a popular lady during half AP.... (I have fewer than 20 active friends on FGO, so these are big numbers for me.)

Thank you for your patronage!!

I’ve gotten a little more patient with digging through the FP gacha for 3-star event CEs after a couple of “last chance to get this MLB” reruns in a row.

So more FP is useful!

The one downside of the “upcoming event” filter for enhancing Servants (which is SWEET) is that I didn’t notice in time that I was looking at incorrect information that Saber Gilles was an event Servant until I wasted 10 bones on ascending him you aren’t worth them give them back you oaf.

I mean, at least I discovered it before he took any of Bedivere’s Saber EXP.

(I feel bad that he’s not max level yet, but shortly after I got enough medals to final ascend him, I pulled Altera and well....)

(Love that glittering gold.

)

wait upcoming event filter?

Yeah! Opal brought my attention to it!

In enhancement screens, you can click on the All and it filters event Servants for the next event, apparently!

When Monday comes round, I’ll be set to max level all the event Servants I own, which is too many for one party but I can say I did!

give me a mordred

That seems very helpful!

I haven't found a guide for the next event yet so I have no idea what suffering we are in for...

palkia: help help im being oppressed

griffie: As far as I know, it’s basically like the previous Christmas event, but then again I don’t know how hard any of the levels are so I guess it could be A Problem. Glad Jalter is one of the bonuses.

Jalter being a bonus is great news...

And Jalter’s usefulness is independent of class for the most part, so I don’t even need to know what the quests look like to be glad for Jalter.

GIVE ME A MORDRED

All right. I was going to save this power over time and space for something else, but I will go change the past so that I can give you a Mordred. One moment.

There. Now, retroactively, you should have drawn a Mordred in August. She’s a Rider, but a Mordred is a Mordred, right?

...I’m approaching the very real possibility that I’m going to run out of Servants to put EXP into if I am able to grind FGO enough during the Christmas event.

Though I’m realizing many of my matlocks are bone related and we’ll get those, too.

But when I start grinding Assassin/Lancer EXP this evening (so much for my plan to grind doors for QP), I’ll be passing 75% of my Servants being max level.

Gosh, I really will have to just grind doors and mats on days we don’t have events. What a strange new world that will be.

THIS IS WHERE I'M AT TOO

tho I'm going to be saving as much of the exp from the lotto as I can, since I'm hoping to pull Dantes in january

+ saving for saber fran

but I'm down to like 8 servants I can give exp to total and most of them are assassins and today is assassin day...

Last year, I went through my presents box and kept bundles of EXP of at least 3 in one, but I wonder whether I'll run out of space eventually.

Particularly since I can't find much that will be coming up to use Mana Prisms on, so I might be able to just grab those 50 stacks every month.

I'll have enough for Saber Fran if I just keep all the 100 stacks from events.

Good luck on your Dantes pulls! Especially since you are going to need somebody to EXP on.

At least I'm pulling in the guaranteed gacha from Lancer, where I have zero of the 5-stars and thus will be able to put EXP somewhere eventually.

oh god guaranteed gacha is later too, that's right

I hope I still have enough paid quartz for that

Fingers crossed!

I ran out of paid quartz this summer, and then I used needing it for the guaranteed gacha as an excuse to buy more which let me get Ruler Martha.

“Ah man, the good event quests don’t open up until partway into the event.”
> eyes my 0/12 Forbidden Pages and 4/15 Ghost Lanterns for the second Jalter skill

“That only took two and a half days of grinding with some apples.”
> looks at third Jalter skill even though I only have 5 Lores remaining

My top five favourite Servants in this game are Drake, Fran, Liz, Ibaraki, and Mordred. Liz, Fran, and Ibaraki are all 10/10/10. Drake and Mordred look on expectantly...JALTER CRASHES IN BLOWING AN AIRHORN

Toot toot THIS IS SCARY toot toot

I HAD COMPLETELY FORGOT THE “THIS IS SCARY”

It’s so ridiculous and yet that fits.

"Maybe I should prove my love by 10/10/10ing Drake first (better luck next Instinct, Mordred) before I finish off Jalter...." I look, and Drake would require me to change from needing 15 lanterns for Jalter 39, at an average of 57.6 AP per drop, going from 864 AP (a bit over 6 apples) to 2246.4 (a bit over 16 apples).

And yet...I didn't immediately say no......

no bully mordred

wait

yes bully mordred

You were expecting me to do nice things for Mordred, weren't you?

I need the stuff she wants, though, and I hate grinding for Octuplet Crystals.

Though apparently we've gotten a much better place to do so in Camelot, but I remember Gaul.....

I got a couple of the Waver CE by throwing my 5 tickets for the month into the fire. And both of the CEs came when I whispered Knife Power into my mic. (Because I have a lucky butter knife on my desk, long story.)

I’ve been doing pretty well with bond points in prep for [spoiler expunged].

I’ve gotten a bunch of messages like this about my faves lately and I’m always tickled pink!

(I’ve still done basically nothing in this event as I decided to spend the first days before the 40 APs unlocked grinding Jalter’s skills and then I got one done in a couple of days with apples so.....I’m just finishing it even though we’ve unlocked so much.)

AH I ALSO GOT THE LAST PAGE WITHOUT NOTICING A BLESSED RUN.

NOW JUST 15 LANTERNS!!

NOW I’m ready to do this event.

I even got a 5th copy of the 3-star gacha CE with a single pull this morning and I have my two 4-star ones.

Hella.

Finally getting to chapter 2 of the event story...like I don't think Lily gets the point of the Gift of the Magi, but also I wonder why I never thought about how the hair is a temporary loss??? Probably??

For a moment, it looked like Jeanne Alter Lily was having trouble with her own name, but now I remember last year's Jing Ke joke.

This level of I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING...this sure is a Jalter.....

Poor Martha.

And ah, yes, Mata Hari. This must be what was meant about spawning some comics of Jing Ke/Mata Hari. Let's see how that actually goes.

POOR TARASQUE

"Here's your presents." four love potions UM LILY CAN WE TALK FOR A SECOND

Ah, also an anti-drunk potion.

GOOD JOB MARTHA I ALWAYS KNEW I COULD RELY ON YOU.

Oh yeah, there's this extra Saint's Invitation. Oops.

Gosh, with this repeating event of being a reindeer, there should be a reindeer kigurumi mystic code.

Fuuma. What a cute.

"Besides, everyone knows you're not supposed to take things from strangers," says Santa, handing out gifts to people who didn't know her before.

..............tuxedo amakusa?!

HE IS HERE TO SAVE CHRISTMAS

who is this "amakusa" you speak of

Oh right, Tuxedo Santa Island Mask.

So I died on plurk due to getting sick over the last half of the week (I think the last time I actually checked my plurk timeline was...Friday? Thursday??), but my support setup has finally reached its final form:

Jalter 10/10/10. Santa Lily joined, max level, and max Fou. Several AOE options for sock grinding. Nice.

Maybe I should put my other silver shop drops up on Santa Lily, but yeah, pretty happy here.

I’m still grinding gold shop stuff thanks to deciding to 10/10/10 Jalter, but that’s okay.

Look at me, so well-dressed for the weather.

I could be worse. I bounce Summer Mordred between ascension 2 and 3, but if I put her in 1 I could be 100% incorrect.

Though adult Jalter is the one in the frontline. She just gets bullied occasionally because I spend all my time building NP instead of buster meming all my problems away.

Why do so many people need pages to ascend

Take it up with Jalter y’all.

I WAS JUST TOO LATE TO GET THE STOCKINGS FOR MY 32nd BOX. I COULD HAVE COMPLETELY FINISHED THE 31st BOX AND HAD A SATISFYING ENDING, BUT NO, THERE WILL BE JUST 20ISH THINGS OUT OF REACH.

...it let me finish the battle and receive the stockings!!

32 boxes, here I come!! ...eventually. I have two pulls for Enkidu before I get too deep into it, which I’ll be doing later.

I know very little about Enkidu other than they’re canonically nonbinary and they’re cute, but that’s all I need.

“For Stheno’s rank up quest...hmm, I could do this with her and her sisters as a tea —”
(enemy tendency: Lancer, Assassin)

New theme: use only Divine Servants and let Altera finally get her day in the sun.

I’ve been so caught up in the idea of bond grinding for my faves before the end of the month that she’s been sitting around behind Mordred like all of my other Sabers.

WHO DESIGNED STHENO’S STRENGTHENING QUEST WITH ONE (1) ENEMY WITH THE MALE TRAIT???

WERE THEY AFTER ME, SPECIFICALLY, WHO REFUSES TO DO A STRENGTHENING QUEST WITHOUT THE SERVANT IN QUESTION IN THE FRONTLINE SURVIVING THROUGHOUT AND PREFERRABLY GETTING THE LAST HIT AND LIKES TO DO THEMED TEAMS LIKE “DIVINE ONLY” FOR A QUEST TO GET A DIVINE CHARISMA??

I THINK MAYBE.

Well, one “she” did it. Close enough.

I may have cried when I saw Siegfried.

“Finally, a use for Stheno ever.”

(Every shadow servant was female or genderless. This can’t have been an accident.)

When I start playing Babylonia, I’m going to be ready to use Silvie’s Tamamo Lancer to kick Gil in the dick.

One more anti-male niche Servant and I’ll have a full team, but for now have Artoria looking on approvingly.

This may not have been what I was looking for, but for being only two pulls and a ticket (the ticket was a 3-star so not pictured), this is pretty amazing so no complaints here!

Congrats!!

Thanks!

Sighs contentedly.

(I saved up all my Bûche de Noël after exchanging for the shop items to see how big it got. Very satisfied would stocking again.)
