Current week NA Master Mission Update
So from u/leafofthelake's comment on the NA master mission thread for the week found here, it seemed possible upon initial speculation to get enough caster gems before obtaining the first Moonlight CE for maximum AP efficiency to shop rewards during the event.
However, it seems from the google doc aggregated data for the event, found here, that there are NO red caster gem drops and the golden gem drop is pretty low as well for the 30AP event quest. I personally have done 4 runs of the 30AP already, have gotten my first Moonlight CE from the shop and have received no hearts and no gems.
The daily drop Friday (tomorrow) has a significantly higher reported drop rate of both gems, found here. For those looking to finish the mission and have a successful event, it seems to be more practical to get the caster gems from the daily than to spam the 30AP and potentially blow through over 700AP without getting both gems.
Let me know if anyone thinks differently.
TL;DR: If you're going for as many dangos as possible and if you want to finish the master mission for the week, consider saving some AP before 08/19 0:00 UTC to do the daily if you don't have both caster gems by then from the event.
The calculations premise that the 30AP event quest becomes a lot more inefficient compared to the 5AP for dangos as soon as you obtain the first Moonlight Fest CE from the shop.
EDIT 2: I got both in one 30AP run from the lamias, didn't even need to get the daemon on wave 3.
