No-Pull (Insert Month Here)

Uthgarprime

I am modify my hoard, I will be pulling tokens from the Strange event cause I want to make sure I have the 3* version in case it is required in the next event. after 2 days I have 28 tokens, so that is nice.

. . . but how do you get the two star covers to set up the farm without opening up the tokens?

PVP rewards?

I don't really play much PvP, so doubtful. To clarify though, most of my 2*s are fully covered level 15s. I'm just waiting until I build up the iso to champ them all so I don't waste a bunch of covers. Once they're done I'll open stuff until I need to pause and champ the rest.

I have to say - I hoarded a huge stockpile while I champed all 3s and then 2s. that ended up over 400 tokens. I did that because my roster wasn't ready to pull them yet and when I did, it was huge (happened to be right when SCLs were introduced). no that my roster is prepared for opening any and all gold tokens....I'm finding it really hard to hoard lol. its freaking day 3 and I'm not sure I can do it lol. ironically I have a plan to hoard cp until ~next april and I have no problem with that. weird....

I gave up already. I was hoarding LT/CP before this and will continue to do so. But adding all other tokens to the mix just made the feeling of my progress go from sluggish to completely inert. I couldn't take it.

Why is that?

I was hoarding well before this, so I didn't feel bad dumping a bunch of CP on the 10% Dr Strange token today.

It's pretty amazing how quickly they build up. I've never been able to keep a hoard going for long, and it's crazy how fast that "Recruit Heroes" number is climbing.

I've hit 50 tokens, and it's started easier than expected (though I suspect because I've been building up chunks of Iso to spend, rather than blowing it immediately on 1 or 2 levels has helped form some kind of discipline...)

What I'm trying to do now is refrain from re-champing members of my 2* farm until other 2* are ready to be sold off. That way the rest of the ISO goes to my 4*. Otherwise I end up just feeding everything into the 2* waiting to re-champ and I spin my wheels. I'm up to almost 60k since I started doing that, so that's helpful.

Beyond that, what is the strategy behind hoarding?

Don't spend anything ever... until you need it, have better odds of pulling what you want or can make use of whatever cover you pull. The goal is to not waste any covers or resources

Ok, you've convinced me to a certain extent. Like I said early on, I've been saving my LT for a while and really don't intend to start opening them any time soon. The Elites and Standards I'll keep opening cause they feed my farm and help the iso flow.

The Taco Vault tokens though, there's where I've learned something. I looked at the future taco vault and spreadsheeted it all out and determined which cycles of the Sweet and Savory would give me the most benefit and will start hoarding my taco tokens until the best cycle. Specifically December 9th for the Sweet tokens (Marvel, IM40 and Fist still need championed) and November 24th for the Savory ones (Falcon, Psylocke and Bullseye).

I'll at least be partially participating in the No Pull November, regardless the exercise pushed me to be a lot more analytical with my Taco Tokens, so thanks again everyone!

It's getting easier every day.

I did lapse a little today. I pulled my Orb of Agamotto token I got for clearing the level. It's not clear if this special 10 item vault will stay or if the tokens are lost when the event ends, so I pulled that one token and was rewarded with 500 iso.

I feel so guilty.

If that's the case, I'm cheating on No-Pull November.

But only for those three specific pulls!

Can anyone explain this to me? Why would you want to save the tokens until after the event?

Slothkins

Yeah, I don't get that one either.

My hoarding plan has a specific goal in sight - fully cover 3 x 5* characters by opening about 330 LTs, which will surely take a very long time to collect, but if I have a bunch of champed 4*s, then I only need to start with 300 LTs. This will probably be composed of 200 actual LTs and 2500 CP that I spend. Right now, I'm still building my 4*s and not one of them is champed. So.....

I'm not with your plan exactly, but I've just started to hoard LTs only. I still need everything else to continue progressing my 4*s.

I cheated on the two pulls so far as well... I think the fact that I've got 2 x 500 iso so far tells you what RNGesus thinks of me straying from the path.....

I won't open anymore,
If you won't too.

I've nearly cracked a few times but I'm staying strong.
What I'm trying to decide now is in what order will I open them on December 1st. Thinking either move for standard to the right (e.g standard, heroic, L.T.....ect) or do it based on the number of each token type (e.g most to least or least to most).

I've saved up 100 CP and 2 LTs. This isn't like me at all. Not sure how much longer I can last, getting itchy fingers
