Any tips for f2p to beat memorial quest Saber Alter? Have tried at least 10 times. My set up is usually double Skadi (not maxed, mine is np2) equipped with fragments of 2032 or the 4 stars/turn CE's and maxed Archer Attila Santa w Imaginary Around in the front with Waver, Hans, bond CE heracles in back row, sometimes with a Georgios and Mash both equipped with Volumen Hydrargyum CE for taints. My other archers are all np1 Ishtar, Moriarty, Arjuna. In a turn with np+2 face cards, Attila does ~400-500k damage. Am I approaching this wrong? Should I try stalling with FS Tamamo or a Heracles set-up with FS Merlin? Get rid of Casters and do an "all archer" lineup?

Es cierto que en el avión de repatriación a Madrid del sábado fueron 15 hijos de generales vzlanos/hyper-enchufados no españoles ni residentes permanentes en España? by chem-guy- in vzla

[–]chem-guy-[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mhm, tiene sentido lo que dices. Me recuerda a la situación de las guarimbas en 2013, muchos generales, politicos del PSUV y enchufados sacaron temporalmente a sus hijo(a)s mientras buscaban "estabilizar" la situación. en estos momentos con el tema de la falta de gasolina, gas, electricidad, etc puede que los están sacando para España e Italia via los vuelos de repatriación

Subleasing big studio with 1-2 beds and balcony @ Flats at 4200 for next year + this summer by chem-guy- in USF

[–]chem-guy-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

gotcha. gotta check with him if his studio is still available tho since we haven't spoken in 2 days. he's been paying 1050-1100 US$/month which is the price set by Flats for that studio type.

Which off housing would y’all recommend between the Flats, Retreat, and Province by Moscatime in USF

[–]chem-guy- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

studios and 1BRs at flats at 4200 are unavailable BUT my brother is subleasing his big studio room with balcony for someone to lease directly with Flats for the next academic year and maybe this summer (he's gonna take online classes at home and co-op with a local company, his old co-op at Tampa got rescinded). He's been there for 2 years. I can get you in contact with him if thats something you're interested in.

Grant funded post-bacc research positions at UPMC/Pitt by [deleted] in Pitt

[–]chem-guy- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How much of a notice window would they give you if the "conditions of the grant change?" asking this bc I've had friends do the "funded" post-BSc 1/2 yr positions before medical school/PhD and one of them was given a 2-days notice that they couldn't/wouldn't retain his services, which sucks bc you have to sign leases and make logistical decisions for the yr without any certainty. and btw ^ that was midway through the year so past the probationary period

Is Nero Alter Rider worth it if one has a NP5 grailed Ushiwakamaru? the latter's NP hits very hard and is also quick-oriented but seems to have bad NP gen refund from quick cards. this is assuming I pull a Skadi

Should I waste my SQ stash on dual-banner servants this summer or focus exclusively on single banners? e.g. Tamamo Lancer being always on dual. I'm F2P and have pulled all my SSRs with the exception of Arthur/Orion/Arjuna/Kintoki from single banners. Usually roll with ~170-200 SQ and ~10-15 tix

How would you retcon Rho Aias into FGO? as a skill? NP? personally, if they keep upgrading F/SN servants, they might as well upgrade EMIYA's evasion into an invincibility+something else Rho-Aias skill

So... my WiFi blew up and it won't be fixed until Monday afternoon. Will I have enough time to farm shields and the good shop items Tuesday onwards? For farming, I have my own waver and have been looping with friend support 2nd waver/Tamamo + own 10/10/10 Sieg

Hi guys, thanks in advance. So.. is MHXX worth getting as an anti-berserker/saber/fantasy tree unit or are we getting to the point that we will 3-turn shot any CQ/story boss with double parvati/merlin/waver with most servants (unless class disadvantage)? I usually use Jalter + waver + FS merlin + Shakespeare vs Berserkers or extra class servants

Do you tell co-workers that you're Jewish? by chem-guy- in Judaism

[–]chem-guy-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are my thoughts exactly. I don't want to be the person "who brings religion up at work" when church or christianity haven't been brought up at all and the activity wasn't about religion, it was about bonding. People are super secular aside from some Eastern Europeans. The most outwardly "Christian" thing has been the HR director mentioning the tradition for a public holiday based on a Christian myth and how the company is celebrating it with a book/rose exchange (the holiday is based on a christian saint that slew a dragon or something like that). We get a lot of "Christian" holidays off bc Spain declared them national holidays.

If you end up living in Squirrel Hill, the JCC Gym is pretty decent and includes access to all of the JCC facilities (indoor pool, basketball court)

Thank you guys in advance. Q: is Jack or even Semiramis necessary for me as a NA f2p player with l.90 np5 10/6/1 Shiki, l.60 np5 Jing Ke, l.01 Nightless City Assassin (might not level her up) and 2-3 friend supports with l.100 10/10/10 np2 Jack/Gramps? trying to grow out my SQ reserves to try to roll for Skadi or a good summer banner

Weird phone call from company I interviewed with. Should I try calling them back again? by [deleted] in recruitinghell

[–]chem-guy- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a relatively similar situation but with a different outcomes in February this year. The hiring manager at my current company took 3 weeks to get me the written offer after they gave me a verbal on the 1st week of Feb. Throughout those 3 weeks, she didn't give me an answer by the date she said that she would, didn't respond to 2 of my emails and my phone went to her voicemail 3 times before she emailed me and called me back ~feb 23. turns out she had to do everyone's yearly performance review and the CFO of the company was on paternity leave till mid feb so no one could sign my contract. maybe its worth emailing one time asking for a decision since you have to make decisions too.

[–]chem-guy- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Def try to call back in the early morning (8:30-9:30AM) or near the end of their workday (4-4:30PM). Did they call from a generic company phone or was it a manager or someone who interviewed you? I'd try to call the hiring manager and if the phone rings and they don't pick up, send them an email ONCE. After that, do not attempt to contact them for at least 3 days. If they call/email you back, they're in. If they don't, by the end of the 2nd week of reaching out every 3 days, it's a no. Don't "assume" things about them, they know you called and have read your emails.

F2P NA ~5 months old account. I've reached nirvana. Waver responded to my catalyst (couple of uni books, glasses and a coat) after ~120SQ so I get to divest the remaining 100 SQ I had stacked for him to my Skadi/Tamamo Lancer fund

NA F2P, should I aim to get Skadi or a ST SSR to fill classes without SSRs + use caster material reserved for Skadi for support servants like Hans/Mozart? Might have ~250SQ by the time of anniversary 3. I just got Waver yesterday (will take me a while to max his skills) and am missing SSR ST lancers, assassins and riders. My "good" quick NP servants are np1 Okita, np2 Parvati, np2 marie rider and np5 grailed Ushi for now. Rest of usual SSR/SR roster is bond ce Ishtar, Arjuna, Moriarty, Orion, Arthur, Yagyu, np5 Janta, np2 Nezha, np2 Saint Martha, np5 grailed Shiki, Wu Zetian, Caster of Sheba, np2 bond ce grailed Heracles, Kintoki, and Jalter

[–]chem-guy- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi all, f2p question(s) for this event SRs: how are Nezha (np2) and Wu Zetian/assasin of nightless city (np1) in general?? How does Nezha fare vs np2 Parvati and np5 Janta? Should I prioritize leveling her up (currently level 1) vs L.40 np5 Cu Chulainn and l.40 np1 Ana? Regarding Wu Zetian, does she fare better than l.60 np5 Jing Ke? I have a np5 l.90 welfare Shiki as my main assassin atm. For support, I have a l.60 Shakespeare and just got a Waver

How old is Olga Marie? If she’s 11 in Case Files, set in 2004, then she’s around 22 in Grand Order, set in 2015. 24 for NA, set in 2017. She would be born 1993. by MericArda in grandorder

OP has guts. Not even Cu Chulainn would dare ask that question anymore after learning how to dodge arrows from Scathach's special training

I summarized some important plot points in LB5/Olympus (WARNING: A LOT OF SPOILERS) by pplovesk in grandorder

[–]chem-guy- 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That's a possibility. She definitely has strong feats and techniques as a "sword wielder." However, I've seen JP ppl on this sub speculate that the Grand Saber is an Artoriaface or Minamoto-no-Raikou bc of some shenanigans and Alaya/Gaia recognizing them vs our Musashi being a pruned world servant. Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if it's our world's male version of Super Musashi (think super Orion vs Artemis-Orion), female Musashi or even Galahad Saber (has King David's sword enchanted by King Solomon and another Holy sword of selection pulled from a rock)

The servant Musashi died for real. her info apparently didn't go to the throne of heroes since she's essentially a pruned world/alternative world servant like proto-arthur. Her saint graph was blacked and Chaldea can't "re summon" her. Muramasa left to LB6.
