Talk:Servant Summer Festival! 2018/@comment-34696493-20180815213956/@comment-30937535-20180816104220

I'm at roughly 1M total, but still sitting on ~300gold apples currently. There is a lot of time to reach the 3M without using SQ or many apples.

The game is nowhere near p2w, it's just unfriendly towards new players because of servant requirements and catch up grind. I started during Prisma/Illya and barley got Kuro NP5, let alone clearing everything(the grail..) during that event. and after that was NeroFest which I scummed through with friend support. As new player you just have to build up your roster and accept that maybe you'll not be able to completely clear the first few events.

It's also wise to keep your apples for time limited stuff and not for story chapters and the like.
