And the last and best rule,
You befriend a whale and stick to them like barnacles.

[DragunHoardingLewds]

The first thing you should say to a new player is.
"Hey, this is hell you're walking into."

[KeiChaldea]

Most important tip for a beginner, befriend ALL The Whales! If they even accept you that is.

"So, how much did you understand?"

Me: Actually? As a very new player. None

[HellecticMojo]

"It's shockingly easy to end with an account of mediocre level 30-40 servants with no resources."
*looks around nervously*

[linniancauldwell]

Personally, I make sure to accept every request I get from a “silver mash” account! Even if I have to remove someone that has been off for a few months. I remember what it was like being one of them so I will always give them help (but remove them if they never get further)

"Arash is an exception, but he's a special case"

Case-cope, if you would

Tip number zero: Cu Chulainn is the 5 star with a silver border.

Ten tips for new players
pretty much old players are the ones watching this

Advice:
1. If you love a servant, then love them. Especially if they're strong gameplay-wise, remember that you are playing FGO for fun. If you're worried that they aren't worth it, then level them at a slower rate behind your core team and see how they do.
2. Try not to stress out about getting that one servant. Most servants have multiple banners. If it's destroying you to save for that one servant that you neglect all servants along the way, then don't do it.
3. I'm going to argue that it is worth it to get the embers from the mana prism shop. Ember farming at low levels is miserable, so if you have the prisms, I'd take it.
4. Do all the events, especially the reruns. Materials are usually in high supply, from general stuff to embers to QP. Reruns usually improve drop rates and streamline the event to be fun to play, as well as many supports having event CEs to make your grind easier. I've always leveled the fastest during events.
5. Take it slow. You COULD break your spine getting through the singularities quickly, but you will inevitably face the consequences of an underleveled team in Camelot. Enjoy life. Smell the roses. FGO will be there when you come back.
6. Team comp matters. With decent leveling and even basic strategy, you can use underleveled servants to take on quests with far higher levels than you, which is especially relevant for later game content where no, you can't just use all level 90 servants because you do not have them.
7. Be in it for the long haul. FGO is a very long game. I've put in personally more than 500 hours and I am still not caught up on content because I play when I want. If you want an investment, it can be incredibly rewarding and fun, but it will take a while to get caught up. Relax; I promise you you'll have a good time.

[LightningZerker]

"Don't grind until you burn yourself out."


Me spending 14 hours farming Ultimate Bahamut in Granblue to make an Atma Staff with the Strife Key in right away:

6:58 I was about to have a heart attack, and then I read the message and had a stroke

[antondazo]

“Don’t overinvest in low rarity attackers”

*looks at my level 85 regend on his way to 100*

that’s a great tip

[mrhbombman]

>make your support slot more presentable

>slots in Grailed Geronimo in All slot

Jokes aside congrats on the new and sparkling new players guide

"Save your apples"
meanwhile I'm sitting on 270 gold apples and 230 silver and every time I use a few the game throws 20 more at me.

[rainebutron]

"Pick just one servant and save up for later"

Me who rolls whenever I get the chance and ended up with shitloads of unwanted SR and SSRs: 👁👄👁

[astorvialaw]

To have an over 90% chance of getting a solo rate-up SSR Servant, you'll need an average of 328 rolls or 984 Saint Quartz.

"make your support slot more presentable"
Me: *looking at my Angra almost 100 10/10/10 that i created for the meme* I regret nothing
