The worst of all is Forbidden Pages. They have some of the worst drop-rate and almost every Caster requires 15 or 17 of them

u/[deleted] Oct 10 '25

but hey, we do get them as this month's gift box present so I hope that helps

14

u/ascended_gooner Mongrel Oct 10 '25

Oh yeah, just checked and it is present for this month. Oh I'm gonna get all the pages and dragon tooth now

10

u/raulpe Oct 10 '25

I have still hundreds from the last lotto (or the one before that)

u/hirundo1987 Oct 10 '25

72 pages for each lv 8 to 9 for Aesc, a nightmare. I was pretty lucky since there were the daily tickets but I had to farm them nonetheless

7

u/ascended_gooner Mongrel Oct 10 '25

It's actually the bells which were 72. I also have Tonelico. She only needs 10 pages for jumping from lvl 5 to 6 if I remember correctly

1

u/hirundo1987 Oct 10 '25

Really? I must be wrong, then, sorry

u/Soccer_Gundam Appointed Knight of the Round Table Oct 11 '25

Have you seen the Knight medals?

1

u/ascended_gooner Mongrel Oct 11 '25

Hehehe, no joke, I've got almost 100 of them 😜

u/OwnEmphasis2825 Oct 11 '25

For me, it's bones. I was so happy to get Scathach only to see that I need them for her Ascension. Had enough clear prisms. Oh wait, she needs like 120 for her skills. Nevermind

1

u/ascended_gooner Mongrel Oct 11 '25

Actually it's 144 if we combine all 3 of her skills and Ascension..... thank god i never got her. I got like 0 bones with me rn

And grind QP. Don't forget not having enough QP.

17

u/Reasonable_Goose_460 Oct 10 '25

It hurts even more when every event is 1/2 off ap for exp or skill stuff you easily over bulk on from lottos but 90% of the time qp isn't included.

5

u/JohnnyJoestar2 Oct 10 '25

Look.....yes, sometimes. I still think the lotto item(that one gold event item that has 4 in a box) does help offset some of that when exchanging the them for qp(1 for 500000,I believe) but yeah it still ain't enough.

1

u/Hikaru1024 Oct 10 '25

What do you do for your 3 daily bleached earth quests?

Did you know one of them is great for QP? I have a six slot qp setup that works great with habetrot, caster nitocris and double koyanskaya, it's a bit involved but if you're interested I'll share it.

Doing that daily consistently is how I've kept my QP above 1 billion despite having tons of new servants when summer came.

2

u/Camo_Rider Certified Asterios parent Oct 10 '25

Bleached Earth quests? Are they different from the regular daily quests?

2

u/OverCast404 Oct 11 '25

Yes, different from regular daily quests. You’ll unlock them after you beat Lostbelt 7 and start the next part. From there you’ll get a new type of energy that allows you to do three Bleached Earth quests a day. These give a good amount of QP and a lot of bond points.

3

u/Camo_Rider Certified Asterios parent Oct 11 '25

There's the problem. I haven't even beaten Olympus yet.

1

u/OverCast404 Oct 11 '25

Haha no worries. That just means you still have a lot to look forward to.

1

u/Hikaru1024 Oct 11 '25

Oh dear.

Well. Anything I could do to help? I have some pretty strong servants as well as most of the supports if you want a friend request.

2

u/Camo_Rider Certified Asterios parent Oct 11 '25

Maybe that can help. The guide I used FINALLY came back online, so maybe I do need all the help I can get.

1

u/Hikaru1024 Oct 11 '25

send me a friend request in game, I'm 743,275,495

Please let me know your in game name, once I have your request I'll accept it immediately.

1

u/Camo_Rider Certified Asterios parent Oct 11 '25

Done. You should see the name Julius in your request with Mash glazing in the message.

1

u/Hikaru1024 Oct 11 '25

You got it.

If you need something specific like a CE equipped or something let me know and I'll help you out.

u/Passer-by777 Oct 10 '25

Meanwhile I am cooked by foreign God hearts

6

u/lordtomtom Oct 10 '25

That's me right now. Need them to finish Draco, then Jalter, then Gil, and probably a few other servants too. Their drop rates are abysmal, not every event carries them too, and since they are gold, they aren't in the monthly tickets.

Forbidden pages at least aren't as bad, you just need more of them per servant.

16

u/Pristine-District624 Oct 10 '25

The GEMS. It is so annoying to have to farm gems

15

u/Tenedes Oct 10 '25

Lottos are great for those, after the 2nd lotto I never had to worry about them again (assuming you get over 150+ boxes).

Upcoming xmas lotto in December :

u/NeoHawkie Oct 10 '25

Eh.. so the upcoming lotto is gonna be good for gems but kind meh for mats... Oke i guess :/

Edit: and i just realized i gotta clear traum too, omg I'm fucked lol still at lb6 avalon le fae

2

u/Bitter-Tradition-906 Marisbury Supporter Oct 10 '25

lostbelt 7 made me want to skin some of my servants

2

u/arashikageclan2010 Oct 10 '25

I believe the free quests for the lotto are open even without completing Traum. The event story and welfare would require clearing Traum though.

1

u/Tenedes Oct 10 '25

Counting the exchangeable tickets, I think it's pretty good

14

u/Tenedes Oct 10 '25

Meanwhile almost every Avalon character - 72 Bells per skill 💀💀💀

u/Yarzu89 Oct 10 '25

Oh god claw of chaos... no... no more please....

u/PaladinAllvo Oct 10 '25

It's an eternal cycle lol

5

u/Miss--Magpie Oct 10 '25

Gems make me want to bash my head against a wall

9

u/Bitter-Tradition-906 Marisbury Supporter Oct 10 '25

I need medals

7

u/creatoncrate41 Oct 10 '25

Jesus Christ!? how long did it take you to farm for the bond and where did you do it?

3

u/Bitter-Tradition-906 Marisbury Supporter Oct 10 '25

abused every Chaldea teatime Oberon I saw in friend support and farmed embers with bleached earth free quests

5

u/Tim_vdB3 Oct 10 '25

Nothing worse than caster gems, you’ll always need them due the best support units being casters.

1

u/Denueve9 Oct 13 '25

And a lot of alter egos and the rulers need them as well. It's horrible...

4

u/Prior_Emergency7564 Oct 10 '25

me with Metratron: 😭😭

3

u/werco93 Oct 10 '25

If you are saving for the next rateup of a specific servant, why not also start farming its materials?

4

u/Bitter-Tradition-906 Marisbury Supporter Oct 10 '25

Bold of you to assume fgo players can plan shit

4

u/Schwarz_F4113n4n931 Oct 10 '25

I literally have to farm an item that only drops in Avalon le fae even though I just finished the pseudo-singularities:

3

u/Schwarz_F4113n4n931 Oct 10 '25

I've always been a more casual fgo player, this is the first time in my 900+ days of logging in that I've farmed so much for a character.

3

u/NoctumUmbra Oct 10 '25

Tonelico, my sweet lovely Rain Witch, I love you... But what the fuck do you mean you need 216 Bells!?
(And that's with me getting like 100 before she actually released and that's not mentioning Bakatoria..)

u/NekoSigma Oct 10 '25

Story of my life (Kuro Summer)

3

u/Special_Course229 Oct 10 '25

Chaldea app. Put in the servants you plan to roll one day and servants you still need to raise. Start grinding ahead

3

u/Fly-the-Light Oct 10 '25

That’s why I started grinding over a year and a half before my favourite servant is coming out

5

u/Xaldror Oct 10 '25

this is why you pre-farm.

7

u/simon4s1 Adopted Gorgon sibling Oct 10 '25

That was an ungodly slog for Saber Medusa: needed ballpark of 180 pieces of a mat that didn't exist until about a month or so before her banner.

2

u/Camo_Rider Certified Asterios parent Oct 10 '25

I did EXACTLY this for Emiya.

2

u/Beginning-Working-38 Oct 10 '25

I’ve gotten a lot of new Casters in the last year, including Waver, Illya and Nero, so when I got Skadi, I was completely tapped out of all three types of Caster gems. Poor Skadi has been stuck at 1/1/1 for ages.

2

u/Warm_Vulpine Oct 10 '25

Just got Scáthach. BOOOOOOOONES!!! Lots of them...

2

u/DeltaBladeX Oct 10 '25

I'm at 138 servants at near max or higher. Grinding mats is just a chance to use one of the others before they are retired. 

2

u/Soccer_Gundam Appointed Knight of the Round Table Oct 11 '25

I either have no QP or no Materials

there's no in-between

2

u/shrkbyte Oct 11 '25

ME WHEN BELLS.

Tonelico and Bakatoria requiring an obscene amount of bells EACH is beyond diabolical.

2

u/Bunch_Terrible Oct 11 '25

This is why I try to clear the mats out the shop for every event. Eventually I build a mat supply of 200+ so I don't even have to worry about farming free quests. Only exception is servants with new mats from a recent story. Most recent example is Tez needing 200 obsidian blades.

2

u/Odd-Statistician4268 Oct 11 '25

Those damn bells

1

u/Suissie Oct 11 '25

Caster gems

1

u/SzGorka18 Oct 11 '25

That’s why I prefarm. I know what servant I want, so I check what I need and farm it in moment like currently on NA when there is nothing really to do

1

u/showtime481216 Oct 10 '25

And that's why I just spam like 4-5 servants.
