Question about ISO

in MPQ General Discussion
I have been playing for just over 500 days. Little background about my roster. Farming 2 stars. All 3 stars are championed. 20 4 stars are championed. Most of my 5 stars are sitting at 255 with the exception of a few due to making early newb mistakes. Hoarding LT, CP, Heroic and Taco tokens and only using HP when necessary. I say all of that to ask this question. How much ISO can I hoard? I would like to champion the rest of my 4 stars before I start pulling tokens. I am tired of covers going to waste. I have searched the forum to see if there is a limit and couldn't find one. Either my search skills stink or there is not a thread dealing with the issue. Thanks for any help with the ISO issue. And yes I know as I place in the t10 of pve events and make progression through PvP events I will accumulate 4 star covers, but I hope to champ any of those along the way, if I can, if they are ones I don't already have championed. So again thanks for any help on this and sincerely thanks for all the help this forum has given me from the countless questions I have found answers to without having to post.

    I save up ~350k then open until I get a 14th cover for someone. I'm basically champing based on what RNG gives me. You can minimise wastage to a certain extent but you'll still end up getting a cover you have 5 in already eventually!

    That has been my similar approach. I just championed IF4 a couple days ago and am wanting to try a different strategy. Many minds can show me things I may not have thought of. My thinking was since I am do a massive hoard anyway why not ISO. I just want to make sure there is not some sort of limit. Thank you for the input. All knowledge is valuable!

    I seem to recall some people getting sandboxed for having a huge ISO hoard because it sends a flag to the system of just how much you have...but I believe those happened to people hoarding in the millions.

    A vet can probably come along and verify or rubbish my post at some point...

    I have seen post with people claiming to have upwards of 2.5 million in ISO. I just didn't want to hit some predetermined cap. I appreciate the information!

    There is no cap on Iso.
    And those sandbox cases happened more than two years ago.

    Most I've ever hoarded is about 1.3 million ISO. I've been told by forumites that people used to get sandboxed if they had 2 million at one time, however like Bow says that was years ago and I can't imagine it's still that low. 

    Just hoard what you need. Even people who got sandboxed for it in the past were able to get it undone talking to CS. I wouldn't worry about it.

    Currently I'm sitting on 2.7m ISO so don't think there is a limit. I swear I've seen screen-grabs of people sitting on 14m ISO too...

    I've been over 5mil in ISO - currently have 4.5mil and have had at least 4mil for a few months now.  No issues.

    Ah, thank you. I had a feeling it wasn't still relevent but I thought it worth bringing up *just in case*.

    I was sandboxed about 2 years ago for having over 2.5 million. But as seen in the thread above that must be gone because people have 4+ million.
