How hard are the Halloween / Christmass RERUN events?

Some basic explanation of my situation:

I started playing at the middle of May, so I could not do the first Halloween and the first Christmass events, who give you a Caster Liz and a Rider Santalter by completing it.

I suppose second reruns of event don't happen, right? So this year is my last chance of getting them.

F2P, counting my quarts (90 Quarts, will roll for Ruler Martha), and how much I get from the constant login rewards+weekly missions; I decided that after Summer I will focus on just getting those events done, and let this year Halloween and Chrismass for the reruns of next year (and likely skip Prisma as well, who probably will get a rerun one day).

So, how hard are those events, say, compared with Onigashima and the current Summer event? Very grindy? Are the event CEs to be rolled in the event banner extremely necessary to sucesfully completing them (I never get all of them)?

Finally, what aproximately is the average servant level recomended for participating in the event with some tranquility? Let's say, a party mostly stuck on level 50 (damn materials won't drop much) and just some on level 60 can manage to do it?

Here's the SQ math: https://www.reddit.com/r/grandorder/comments/77wnxc/heres_an_estimate_for_how_much_quartz_and_tickets/

Halloween Rerun:

Just completing the story will grant you Caster Liz. You could run the easiest nodes on the story and still get her. The only thing you might have trouble doing is grinding enough event currency to get her to NP5. You have to use different shop mats to buy 4 Lizzies and that takes a nice chunk of time dedicated to farming nodes if you have a lower leveled roster. Higher level servants -> Harder nodes you can complete -> More mats you can get. If you're satisfied just owning Caster Liz, you can save apples for the Saber Liz event that runs right after it.

Christmas Rerun:

This one isn't as grindy, but that all depends on RNG. This event follows a lottery system and you have to farm event mats to roll the lottery (that means you can farm a node once and get altria in a roll, or have to farm a node A LOT of times just to roll altria). Farm mats -> Roll the lottery -> get a Santa Alter ticket -> refresh lottery -> rinse and repeat until NP5. This is time dependent since re-reuns are indefinitely shorter although only by a few days meaning farming the hardest nodes here is important. By the time Dec rolls around, you should have servants in the 80s so farming shouldn't be an issue for you.

BasedKiyohime, thank you, how about the ascension materials of Caster Liz? I have to buy them as well?

I don't mind NP1, but I want to be able to max her level...

Are the materials of Santalter also in the lottery, along her 5 copies, or you have to buy them in the shop?

Also, due to events after events, plus taking some days to grind a few golden servants I rolled, plus some real life things who blocked me in some days from doing much more than login for the daily reward and FP gacha free roll, I kinda neglected starting America and Camelot. I guess I will keep delaying them untill all events of this year are done and the next Main Quest 1/2 AP happens. Let's grind embers and specially, the materials for the next 3 months...

Caster Liz requires shop based mats for ascension which luckily doesn't take long to farm considering your servant level range. This is by far the easiest since all her ascension mats use the same currency meaning you can farm one node that's most efficient for you. It should take only a few silver apples if you want to do it in one go.

The Santaltrialter event sadly has a shop seperate from the lottery as well where you can spend all other quest currency (aside from lottery currency) on material which... [wait for it] includes her ascension mats. This shouldn't be a problem either since you'd (by then) have strong servants to farm with

You can lay off on the campaign for as long as you want since it's not going anywhere haha. The only use i've found for it is to gain quartz and to unlock specific (and more efficient) mat farming spots. I'm here for the story too but I could wait on it. I personally stopped once Camelot hit so I can roll Lancer Kiyo and solo it with her.

If you're in need for people to add for supports just ask here!
Good luck and godspeed.

Not very hard at all. After all, those were some of the earliest events in the game, so they were designed mostly for low-middle level players and they are not going to be changed for the rerun.
I remember making it through Halloween just fine with only 40-50 lvl servants and only one gacha CE. Honestly, a good support can probably solo any of the free missions. You'll might have to drop some Command Seals for the challenge missions though.
Christmas is a bit trickier, you'll probably have to do easier missions first until Santa Alter unlocks a few days in. After that you level her ASAP and farm the 40 AP mission - your Santa + support Santa should be more than enough for that. Don't bother with the 50 AP mission unless you've got a full bonus team that can reliably clear it (it's a bit more efficient but you'll do just fine without it).
Also don't skip Prisma, are you crazy lol

I know righ, I am kinda having a event fatigue...

Also, I truly want to level some good servants I just got, including my 3rd 5*. Yeah, I kinda can do that later, or just use X50 All Embers from the shop...

Their gacha not having anything 4* I want besides Illya (I usually don't roll for 5 stars, even having 3 of them) is a big turn off as well...there is a chance that Martha will make me blown all my quarts, so maybe no event CEs to grind very well.

Is prillya really that good? Her skills are middle-good but she can't deal with bosses alone and for waifu meh , i prefer the original illya.

if it's one event you shouldn't skip, it's Prisma.
I think I read somewhere that even jp hasn't done a prisma rerun(need someone to confirm) and they're ahead of us for liek, 2 years?
and Kuro(Chloe) is a really good SR archer

You can definitely clear every event in the rest of this year except nerofest without skipping much even with low team lmao. I started one month earlier and totally cleared fate zero event(21 day event) in literally 3 days with only 1 ssr when my account is one week old, only one servant lv 60 , 1 lv 50, and the rest lower.
All you have to do is read guides, make a good team, and play wisely, even a team of ascension 1-2 servant should be able to clear most event in the rest of this year that is not named nerofest. Unless you only play a very short time every day.

Why would you skip prisma....
Kuro is arguably the best welfare servant in fgo, tied with kintoki rider. With np5 she deals 1500% dmg and can np spam, and have an evade.
Even if you have ssr archer, she is the second best single target archer after summer artoria so the only reason for someone not to raise kuro is if they have archuria lol.
