Dailies Farming and Secret Gems

I gotta say, I don't think there's anything more routinely frustrating than wasting 40ap that you waited hours to charge up on a training ground quest, facing highly profitable enemies like Amazoness leaders and an eyeball monster all at once, only to be rewarded with a few magic gems and some extra qp after defeating them. I only really go to these training ground dailies for the secret gems and Phoenix feathers. But feathers aside and outside of waiting for events, with the upcoming news singularities coming this year, are we going to reach a point where the training ground farming is no longer worth Secret gem farming?

Unfortunately, no, the upcoming half year is going to be brutal in regards to Secret Gems.

On my JP account at the time we are now, I was just in my 2nd half year of my account - which is generally the stage where you start investing deeply into quite a lot of Servants as opposed to getting a basic foundation of all Servants leveled and prepared.

Secret Gems remain few and far between, sometimes doled out via quest rewards. Until then, grinding out the dailies was the only way. On JP apples were a bit more common (more maintenance errors) - so spending them on grinding gems wasn't the end of the world.

This will changes with the advent of Nero Fest 3 in October. Secret gems are in the lotto - followed by another Christmas lotto in December full of Secret Gems as well.

But wait, there's more! The Da Vinci event gets rerun as well, and the KnK event follows soon after. Both event have Secret Gems in their shop.

Really, at that point, you will have accumulated quite a lot! But until that period, the going is tough. Especially if you intend to roll for Alter Ego Servants, who love to eat double your gem supply.

That's true. And rulers are just as hungry for gems too! I'll need to reserve all I can for Shi huangdi by the end of 2020.

If you farm hard in the lottery events, then probably lacking of secret gems isnt a big issue. But it depending on how hard you gonna farm.

Not just Rulers. All the Extra classes use gems from multiple classes so it's a pretty hefty price per skill.

Oh right, my bad.

Mash and the Avengers just use a bunch of seemingly random ascension mats instead. XP

I look at the 40 AP as just a way to get 4 MPs every day. Whatever else it drops is just a bonus. Or at least it's less frustrating that way :)

I like your thinking there, it makes you feel much better to take the drops as extra bonuses lol
