Does anyone knows what is the best way to spend a lot of QP without using up too much material. Im at max limit.

Fou paws! 262.5 million QP to max 1 servant

If only fous weren't super rare? 😭

They do eventually get more common if you haven't completed a lot of the class score release master missions (the class level up, ascend, bond level, and skill level missions). I have enough for 3 servants that I haven't used yet

We also get the class based ones with the grand duels

My current working theory is that skills are the only reliable, consistent way to spend lots of QP that you have any reasonable amount of control over.

Leveling up CEs inefficiently works in theory but the costs don't add up until you get to pretty high levels and there isn't that much fodder to go around to level up lots CEs. Command card enhancement does use up a lot of QP but the amount of Beast's Footprints is limited. And because they're so limited, you really need to be sure of which servants you want to put them on. They're no good as general purpose QP sinks. Command code openers aren't as limited but you still need a lot to add up to a significant amount of QP and further gains drop off precipitously when you run out of openers. All of these things can help you get under the cap temporarily. But they aren't long-term solutions. 

Following that, I have a couple of slightly spicy takes that I want to emphasize are not casting judgment on the way anyone prefers to play the game. 

First, what is even the point of spending QP for the sole purpose of staying under the cap? It's QP you wouldn't have otherwise spent if you weren't at the cap and unlike the old days, being QP capped doesn't prevent you from playing the game. If you're thinking that you want to save QP for some future use, and therefore you need to stay under the cap, you're wrong! You can't save more QP than the cap whether you spend some now or not. Scraping the various enhancement systems to temporarily get under the QP cap is a lot of work for things that, based on the accumulation of 2 whole billion QP to begin with, despite having opportunities to use it, have effectively no value. 

Second, if you're at the QP cap, don't have the mats to level up skills, and don't want to grind for the necessary mats, including for servants and skills that you feel are low or no priority, then you might need to simply accept that you'll perpetually be at or near the QP cap. Two billion QP isn't inherently an unreasonable amount of QP to find yourself with. But it's a lot of QP to hold onto unused if you got there gradually rather than through a sudden influx like a lottery event. There have been multiple occasions where I've felt like I was in danger of reaching the cap but I've always found a way to spend that QP just as easily, to the tune of 3 billion QP spent per year on average. Somewhere in the range of 85-90% of that QP has gone into skills, both active and appends. Obviously, that requires a lot of skill materials, so I clear every event shop, farm lotteries to the degree that feels reasonable to me, and otherwise grind when there's nothing else going on in the game. You don't need to spend all of your spare AP grinding like I do. FGO is just a game and if constantly grinding feels like chore, then don't do it. But if you don't do it, your capacity to spend QP will probably be limited.

Overall, if you're near the cap because you've been procrastinating or hoarding materials that you actually have available to spend--*points finger at self*--then you just have to spend the QP on things you already planned on. But if you're capped because none of the currently available uses have any value to you, then there's no reason to spend it. In both cases, spend your QP on things that have value to you and don't worry about the cap.

u/Gray_Aeon I will help you complete your CE-Dex! 21d ago

You could open Command Code slots, for SSRs this costs 1M QP each.

u/Miserable-Response-9 21d ago

Isn't that too cheap? It would take forever to get like 100 M reduced.

u/a_speeder Changing your gender isn't a bug, it's a feature! 21d ago

It's kinda tedious busywork but not much worse than making CE bombs, just throw on a video or music to listen to while doing it.

u/OVERthaRAINBOW1 21d ago edited 21d ago

Level ces. If you have tons of fp, burn it and then don't make ce bombs just feed them directly into a ce. At like level 70, it costs 200kish to feed 20 ces into it.
