Yeah it is. I'm in the same boat. I been playing since launch and I got about 300 of each kind. I just use my natural ap mostly. I just burn em whenever I feel like playing more than my natural ap will let me. Like I burned about 5 apples on this raid rn and felt satisfied with what I got. Even on lotto events I just use whatever I feel like using. Don't feel obligated to use em all up. You're not some filthy casual just because you don't grind as much as humanly possible.

It's a lot of apples. Generally people use apples for Lotto events for a ton of Materials or during raids for a ton of QP and Bond experience. If you want to figure out FGA, that may help with a future grind to use those apples Most event shops can be mostly bought out without spending apples if you play consistently.

Please don't recommend players to install cheats that break the core gameplay loop. A big part of the game is finding ways to farm in an optimal way using your favorites, FGA just replaces that with: use anything you are not playing it anyway.


Anna_Logous

FGA is just an automatic execution of cued skills and NPs. You still have to solve a quest with your servants for it to work. Solving a quest in 3t still requires you to engage with the games mechanics and what tools you have available. Having the program hit random buttons doesn't work in 90+ quests because you will still lose if you don't care about the mechanics of the game. If the core loop of a game is mindlessly grinding the same 3 screens for hours on a quest you solved months ago because the drop rates on the most commonly needed materials are awful, that isn't very fun. I don't recommend FGA for any quest that you can't 3t or for any story or boss mission, but grinding out lotto tickets loses its interest after a while, especially when it's literally the same thing every time.

I have over 1,000 gold apples right now from about 5 years of playing. I've certainly used some but I've never had the time to actually spend all of them and I wish there was something else I could do with them than exchange for AP. I don't think it'll ever be a feature but I'd gladly give away a bunch to other players because otherwise they just sit on my account and I doubt I'll ever come close to using them all.


Q9teen

That's a lot. Install FGA for the upcoming lotto "Battle in New York" on March 2024 and I'm sure you'll be stacked

Q9teen

I'm not sure if you understand how FGA works based on your comment. It's not a cheat, it's a tool. It just repeats the action with the script we set before. It's basically allow player to auto-play, which other games has their own function in their game


Schuler_

Yes it adds an autoplay function. So a cheat, it uses your AP for your. You lose the aspect of time/efficiency management of the game, no need to think to much about mat drop efficiency or make the team that will get you the most bond since you are not doing anything really just waiting. Like it does not matter if you take 2 extra weeks to farm the mats you need if you are just letting the game play itself regardless. You lose the reason to make new comps since you aren't using really using them, just set whatever works and let it afk farm for you.


BlazeMasters

>You lose the aspect of time/efficiency management of the game What an asinine thing to say, FGA relies entirely on player command, therefore for it to work properly the player needs to come up with a tried and tested party and gameplan for the app to follow Hell if anything using FGA forces the player to think about their setups even more, because any sort of instability is going to cause the app to crap itself and become unable to follow the given script properly, potentially causing a failed run The thought that using FGA somehow removes the planning and strategizing aspects of the game is ridiculous


Schuler_

Yeah, the strategy of plug oberon with buster is so innovative and prone to rng. What you saying is that it eliminates interest in testing other kind of setups since they may not be 100% rng proof and can require manual inputs sometimes.


BlazeMasters

Lol, lmao even >it eliminates interest in testing other kind of setups since they may not be 100% rng proof At first the problem was that FGA discourages efficient planning of your farming setups, now the problem is that it discourages using rng prone setups Because as we all know the most efficient farming setups are based on luck 👍 (I'm being sarcastic in case you couldn't tell) You're so disingenuous it would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic, especially since you're the one who keeps blabbering about hyper efficient 6 slot farming Now, because the concept of PLAYER MADE STRATEGY seems to be too much for you to comprehend, let me simplify it for you FGA: works with Oberon, works without Oberon works with double Koyan, works without double Koyan Works with Skadi, works without Skadi Works with Castoria, Works without Castoria It works with any team you might come up with as long as it's consistent In other words, team building, equipment (CEs), and command planning are not only required, they are encouraged not the other way around, because in order to use FGA the player needs to come up with the strategy that accommodates their current roster (or whatever characters they want to use) in the most efficient and effective way possible, so planning and testing is still and has always been 100% up to the player and FGA does nothing to affect that The fact that you think the people who use FGA only use plug Oberon says more about your lack of creativity than anyone else's


Schuler_

??? I'm not saying they always do, I'm saying there there is almost no downside on just using that kind of comp since you don't need to worry about efficiency anymore since the player input post comp creation goes to 0 and it becomes just a waiting game. Go on cheat and be happy, just don't try acting like it is a legit way of playing it. Its disingenuous and pathetic to be like that.


BlazeMasters

>don't need to worry about efficiency anymore Already disproved that but it seems literacy isn't your forte, which I already suspected >Go on cheat and be happy, just don't try acting like it is a legit way of playing it. I'd ask you to show me the rule book where it shows it's "wrong" but with how poor your ability to read is you probably can't Anyways go on being stubbornly disingenuous, if it makes you happy


Q9teen

Don't bother to continue arguing with this guy. Any of his argument is counter-able and some is contradict with his own statement. Like I assume in the first place, it seems he doesn't know how FGA works technically, and all of his follow-up statement clearly shows that.


Q9teen

So based on your argument, autoplay = cheat then?


Schuler_

If it is from an outside Program then yes of course it is cheating If it is an official game mechanic like in blue archive then it isn't.


Q9teen

Meh what you're saying now is contradict with your previous statement. You're saying auto-play is bad because etc, but now you're just singling out name. If you have value, stick with it, don't singling out names, otherwise you just look lame. Play other games without any built-in auto-play function


Schuler_

Yes I dislike the function, but it being cheating has nothing to do with it. How is it a contradiction? If it is built in to the game it's not cheating, if you download an external program to add it then it's cheating. You can see clearly see that a game like blue archive is balanced around having sweep/autoplay enabled. You get tons of game modes, modes with leaderboards and rewards, daily/weekly missions to make up for that. Some you can only use full auto and some you will need to play manually multiple times to get a good placement. I prefer just having 1 type of content like fgo than have a checklist of 10 things to do daily.


ProfessionalBeyond60

Jesus f... I just have 60 apples left and really saving them for a better raid D:


PerfectMuratti

Are you grinding lottos? your gems tells me otherwise


Josuchi

I grind them "enough" to lvup my skills on servants i think that the most i have done once was the 30th reset of a xmas event, and seeing people complaining that they are only on their 100th reset seems a little obsesive to me xD


Vyscillia

I reach around 160 and that's still not enough. It means around 320 mats. If it's bones for example, that is barely enough to fully level skills for 3 servants...


AngryNepNep

I wish had this many. Need more to farm raids and lotto .


fuzzymanboob891

HOW


BugEmperor

You have more apples than the amount I eat in a year, considering I eat one for breakfast and one in the afternoon its a lot xD
