If so, that would make these materials basically the "compensation" for the decreased R rates in the gem gacha. That said, the way I see it, if you don't exactly have much to limit break at the moment, this gacha system still fares pretty well in terms of giving R weapons considering they also give half elixirs, so that's a matter of pure patience... or luck if you're really short on those. If you're already tight on gems, this gacha does kind of fuck you over.

Until the buff to the gem gacha rolls over, I guess the best methods of getting skill ups goes in this priority:
1. Getting event grails for optimal enhance
2. Getting event SRs (especially from raid gacha?)
3. Getting raid SRs (Piggybacking wind ragna seems like a particularly good way to farm it, but no I'm not encouraging every newbie player to rush it)
4. Rolling the hell out of gem gacha
It's mainly just union events that spit out tons of grails.
The main related change for advents would be the price reduction. Once the major changes kick in, the SR weapons each cost 50/30/0/0 to max out/get 4 copies of. Currently it's 215/105/60/0. (copper 1/copper 2/silver/gold chest materials, respectively).
The raid event changes don't really impact this particular aspect of the game much, IMO. Unless we count the reduction of 1 guaranteed copy of each SR weapon.
