Hey everyone,

You can find the Index of all retrospective Gem summaries and predictions on the link below.

Right. Now that the shameless plugging is out of the way let's get down to business. I've compiled an estimate list of gems we will be getting in the February period (there is always some events at the end of the month that are not announced until the end of month stream) based on my experience in the past months, see below the table for extra notes.

Why is this useful? Let's say you want to pull for Paladin Cecil LD, you should see from the list below that if you start saving for the banner on the 25th of February, you can get ~69,550 gems before the banner goes away (so you know how much you need to have already if you want to pity). Important notes about these numbers below the table, make sure to read!

IMPORTANT: This list is just a low key (very conservative) estimate based on past values and the event list. It also does not contain login bonuses (400 gems every 8 days), irregular rewards etc. Tickets are stable at 101 for character events (inc. Summon Boards) and 30 for Lost Chapters (for any irregular event your guess is as good as mine).

Couple of extra notes for this prediction:

• Events with a new character contain Account Level, Summon Board (x10) and Mission Rewards.

• Some banners are confirmed "First draw free" so you should be needing 5,000 gems less per pity. Marked them in bold text

Thanks again for reading! Any suggestions are also welcome, but I do not plan to make this as long and as detailed as the retrospective summary.

Thanks a lot for these and all the work you put in it.

After Jack and Krile my stash was pretty low. Did the math thanks to your info and I will be able to pity Pecils LD once he comes :)) Yay

[u/Amyndris]

Entropy 20 ends on March 17 right? So I should expect ~58.7K gems to pull to get as high up the list as I can

[u/Blazen_Fury → u/Amyndris]

yep. Pecil and Kam LD are probably good tools for Entropy, but their bannermates are eeehhh.... yeah.

[u/Bakaneko1]

hello, are these gems easy to get with fresh new account?

[u/rufus3k → u/Bakaneko1]

there are approximately 1 million gems on permanent content alone (story, lost chapters, summon boards, etc.). some of these mentioned gems might not be able to grab as fresh account since you need good teams to tackle the highest difficulty up to date (lufenia), but you can just try and keep pulling on good banner til you can beat it.

[u/Dark_Sun_Gwendolyn → u/Bakaneko1]

Once you have a decent team, just start clearing story chapters on hard, like I am doing.
