Event Surprise Quests Vs. Ashura's Guide

Relatively new fgo player here and I had some questions about the surprise quests.
I tend to follow lord ashura's google docs guide on them as well as several YouTube videos on the event and I had Some questions about it.
First I couldn't make sense out of the drops spreadsheet from lord ashura. On the special quests list I went through 1-6 or so I thought but the fights were all the same as the first quest and then a seventh quest popped up. Similarly I saw there were 31 available golden apples and yet I've only found 4 so far. I don't know if I'm just misunderstanding something or what but yeah I'm confused. I try to bring the best selection of Ces to clear shop but I'm confused as hell now and could use some help.
Thanks!

The party and surprise quests (1 apple and 2 pumpkins) will keep appearing (copies of them). You are supposed to do them untill the are over.

For example, "Visitor in the Dark Night", the surprise quest you fight Hassan, will have a total of 9 times. And yes, each time you do each one, it drops X2 Pumpkins, also lots of different mats.

Later on, new Surprise quests will be add, all having multiple copies of themselves popping up around the event map, after some time (the total of copies does not appear all at the same time). The copies are meant to be done again and again, as they all drop things by themselves (including the guaranteed X2 pumpkins), like actual separated quests.

The list for Surprise (how many times they will repeat, and that you will do to get event currency):
Visitor in the Dark Night (x9)
Visitor in the Rain (x14)
Visitor of the Long Night (x13)
Visitor of the Perpetual Night (x15)
Visitor on a Misty Moonlit Night (x15)
Visitors Through the Night (x1, this give 1 crystalized lore instead of 100% X2 Pumpkins)

Same for Party (apple ones), you will have to repeat them:
Heroic Party (x5)
Mysterious Party (x6)
Lunatic Party (x6)
Doppel Party (x6)
Ryal Party (x7)
(AKA you will get 30 Golden Apples, if you do all the quest!)

By the way, Party quests ONLY drop bats, so, only start doing those after getting some Maid In Halloweens (that you can up to buy up to 3 times with the pumpkins -the 100% certain drops of the Surprise quests).

TL;DR: do SURPRISE first, ad save PARTY ones for a later on, after getting TamamoCat CEs. Equip them, and Halloween Arragement (if you have) for Party. For surprise, go for a mix of CEs, as everything drops.

I see thanks for the clarification. It makes sense now how 132 pumpkins and 31 apples were guaranteed with all the copies of the surprise/party quests. My next question is while it doesn't say it expires until event ends do I have to do the new quests that pop up daily to get all the rewards or will they be completable all at once on final day?

Yes, you could do them all on the final day. But it would take a lot of AP and we will probably be in the middle of the other Halloween event by then.

Well I'm not saying I'd wait to do the event. I was more asking for the sake of knowing that you can't miss out on the rewards by not doing it immediately or something like that. I intend to do it on natural ap when I can go pocket 30 apples for the following events.
