Revival: Da Vinci Event

Introduction

The Da Vinci and the 7 Counterfeit Heroic Spirits is rather similar to the recent Christmas Event:
Each day a new Main Quest opens up, which in turn unlocks a new, better Free Quest.
As such, farming the lottery and clearing the Event Shop is heavily timegated.
The main gimmick of the Event revolves around Fake/True enemies. Naturally, Fake enemies drop Fake Manuscripts, and vice versa.
Manuscripts are the Lottery currency, and are boosted by the Event Bonuses listed below.
Essentially, Masters want to field as many Extra-class Servants as possible to have the best AP efficiency, but doing so will heavily slow down the clear speed of each node.
Masters can also force Fake/True Spawns via the Lottery Event CEs. This is very useful to speed up farming for all of the single class nodes, while also bringing the correct class counter/Event Bonus.
However, in practice, it similarly tends to reduce the amount of +bonus Masters can bring to a node.
For specific farming advice, see the Farming Walkthrough below.

Class/CE	Event Bonus
Extra Classes	+1
Knight Classes	+1

Free Quest Walkthrough

Note: For those of you who read ahead, make sure to refresh the various farming pages as we noticed a rerun change just before the Event went live that altered some of the currency drop rates.

As per usual, the first goal is to buy all the Scholars of Chaldea Event CEs to boost the Manuscript drops and clear more lottery boxes.
The best Lottery node opens on the final timegate.
Fortunately, Masters can clear the Event Shop while waiting for the best Manuscript node to open up, in addition, Masters who lack Hearts of the Foreign God can farm them at very appealing rates starting from 2020-01-11 20:00 PST.
However, the first problem with farming this Event comes in the form of really terrible Bronze/Silver Drop Rates on the Novice and Intermediate Free Quests.
Only Masters who wish to burn AP heavily early on should farm them early in the Event.
Otherwise, consider waiting for the good Bronze/Silver Quests to open after a few days; it's not like any early nodes (except the Heart node) are worth burning apples on.
For the Daily Quests, if you are certain you will farm enough boxes, prioritize only the Manuscript type you need most.
Otherwise, try and balance out the two lotteries so that 10 boxes can be cleared of both at the same time.

Quest	Note	Enemy	Drops

Ambrosiana 40 AP	Clear Section 2 to access. Only really worth farming at very high Manuscript bonuses and if Masters are drowning in apples. Bonus CEs: .		Primary:
Czartoryski 40 AP	Clear Section 3 to access. Did anyone say ? This node is famous for its 40% Heart drop rate (100 AP/Drop) on average, it's a good node to farm, and well worth farming for the next few days! Bonus CEs: + .		Primary: Secondary:

Vatican 40 AP	Clear Section 5 to access. Best Silver Currency node. Bonus CEs: + .		Primary: Secondary:

Louvre 40 AP	Clear all other Free Quests to access. The best manuscript node. Can be a pain to farm, thus farming a previous difficulty to save time (at the cost of AP efficiency) is always an option. Bonus CEs: .	True: Fake:	Primary:
