How to get Saint Quartz in Fate/Grand Order: every free source, ranked
Saint Quartz are what you spend on pulls in Fate/Grand Order: 3 per pull, so 330 pulls to hard pity means 330 × 3. Nobody farms that in a week. What a free player does instead is build a routine that quietly collects 31–56 Saint Quartz a month and saves it for the banner that matters.
This guide ranks every free source by how much it actually gives, then turns it into a daily, weekly and per-patch checklist. If you only want the monthly number and what it means for your pity, the companion page has it in one table.
Where the Saint Quartz come from, best source first
Ordered by monthly yield. The top two or three lines are what separates an account that pulls every banner from one that does not; everything below is a bonus.
- 1Master Login (weekly): about 16–24 Saint Quartz a month, or 5–8 pulls
- 2Story quest events: about 5–15 Saint Quartz a month, or 1–5 pulls1–2 active events per month
- 3Master Missions (weekly): about 8–12 Saint Quartz a month, or 2–4 pulls
- 4Maintenance & misc: about 2–5 Saint Quartz a month, or 0–1 pulls
The routine that collects all of it
Split by how often each source resets. Missing a day is not a disaster; missing a whole endgame reset is, because that Saint Quartz cannot be recovered.
Every day
The steady base of any F2P account in Fate/Grand Order. Small amounts, but multiplied by thirty days they are usually the largest single line of the month.
- Master Login (weekly) · 5–8
Every week
Worth doing on a fixed day so nothing lapses. Weekly caps in Fate/Grand Order are generous per minute played.
- Master Missions (weekly) · 2–4
Every patch or event
The line with the widest swing. A good patch can double the monthly Saint Quartz; a quiet one gives almost nothing. Always finish the event shop before it closes.
- Story quest events · 1–5
Whenever they drop
Redeem codes and compensation mail arrive after livestreams, maintenance and anniversaries. They expire fast: redeem the day you see them.
- Maintenance & misc · 0–1
One-time rewards (new accounts)
Claimable once per account, so they are not in the monthly ranking. On a fresh Fate/Grand Order account they can outweigh months of routine and are the reason new players pull so much in their first weeks.
- Main Story & Interludes
- Bond levels & new-account login backlog
- Anniversary & Login Campaigns
What costs F2P players the most
- Spending Saint Quartz on the standard banner or on 10-pulls "to see what happens" instead of saving for a limited unit.
- Letting an endgame reset in Fate/Grand Order pass without clearing it: that Saint Quartz is gone for good.
- Ignoring the event shop and redeem codes because they are small: together they are often a full multi every month.
- Pulling before checking the numbers. Your real chance of the featured unit depends on your pity and your pulls; the calculator shows it before you spend.
Now do the math
Knowing where the Saint Quartz come from is half of it. The companion page turns the monthly total into pulls, months to hard pity and your real chance of the featured unit, and the calculator takes your exact pity and savings.
Amounts for Fate/Grand Order are a community estimate and move with the event calendar and your progress. Use them to plan, not as a promise.
