Grinding rare materials

Is there a secret to farming rare ascension materials? I'm really close to buying quartz just to refill AP (I aint gonna roll, I'm sure that I'll never get a 5 star so I'll stay satisfied with my 3 and 4 stars and max them) and grind em. I checked the wiki and it seems like there's no event with the materials that I need coming anytime soon. I already wasted all my apples grinding for demon hearts.

No, there's no secret. The event is the definitely the easiest way to earn an ascension material, especially for the demon heart. Currently, there's no free quest for getting the demon heart, that comes out after the first segment of the main story ended.

There's a way to earn few by clearing the interlude, but that is only if you have the certain servant. (For example, clear the interlude for the Blackbeard drops forbidden page.) Currently, only the interlude for Orion and Tamamo drops demon heart for certain.

Only thing I could say is, wish you the best luck.

For most rare items... If you need a LOT ( who doesn't?) best chance is paying attention to the events.
If you need a FEW.... most of them you can be a bit patient with some Class quests ( chaldea items quests )
Some items for now are ONLY available in events gor now.( like forbidden pages and homunculus babies )

Rare itens are reaaally hard to drop tho( unless you don't need them, then they get a mystical drop rate up)

Also.... main point : Save apples for events.
And quartz are harder to get than apples so... it's recomended to save them. Sure we unlucky ones can't summon stuff, but we also can't drop what we need so it ends up wasted anyway

Okay, A few advices for you.
1) FGO is a non-hurry game. It's not like you roll a character and in a week get him to max lvl. Take your time and servants will eventually get to the max ascension. I personally playing since the beginning of NA-server and get my first 4-star max ascend only after 3 months.
2) Do not waste quartz on ANYTHING other than gacha. You will thank me later. For half a year I heard a lot of stories from my friends, when they roll a 5-star from a single yolo-roll.
3) Best way to farm all golden materials (hearts, claws and so on) is events. Soon will be Saber Wars ( http://fate-go.cirnopedia.org/quest_event_20160120.php#nav ) where you can farm something like 9 hearts just from completing points-farm (like GUDAGUDA-points).

Actually, the best place for rare is not on event shop (because it was limited by specific amount). But on certain node. For example, previous Christmas 40ap is the best place for feather (even compared with 50AP). So yeah, save ur apple for good node

The secret is event shops, but it takes patience. You can get lots of materials for free there. Also regarding not rolling because you're not gonna get 5* servants, forget that. You still need to roll for decent craft essences. Please do that now while there are fewer craft essences in the summoning pool because your kaleidoscope/limitedzeroover/imaginaryaround/formalcraft/fragments2030 drop rate is much higher than it will be in a few chapters later. pulling kaleidoscope seems nearly impossible for me on japanese but easy enough on american server.
