I made an investment in my 2* farm a long time ago when I first spent ISO to max my 2*. Now I pay the 9,524ISO cost (sell at 65k re-champ at ~75k) every so often to upkeep that investment which pays back in a steady daily supply of ISO, Tokens, HP, CP & XP.
I don’t rush to sell my max 144s, they can still be useful and I’ve always got an eye on the essentials that are upcoming. However I also don’t have the luxury of extra HP to keep multiple rostered copies so it’s a waiting game when I start to have the extra covers in my queue. Once I get close to one expiring then I’ll sell my 144 and hopefully be able to immediately re-champ a replacement. That way I’m not tempted to spend that invested ISO in mid-level 4*s.
Yes. When I pulled 14th Surfer cover I decided to sell off 5 max champed 2* to champ Surfer. I then moved on to other projects like champing all 3*, champing Phx/Oml, and a few more 4*. I finally paid back what I owed a week ago. Took about 6 months. Damn Iso is so slow!
I think it’s nice to have a community manager who’s having to play the game just like a member of the community. Happily in 1*-2* transition, soon to get a good shot at building 3s thanks to DDQ and Elite tokens… then the 4 wall.
Yes, I’m commenting on my own comment. Given the XP you gain from rebuilding the character, which contributes to your SCL ISO Reward, plus the champion rewards (and XP) from the 5 HT and 3* covers, the ISO probably breaks even. Which means that this is a net gain of HP and CP. Do this with all 2*s and you have a real farm on your hands.
Farming champions is one of the best part of the game… i cant wait for selling 3s - some of them are already above level 200.
I am not sure if selling 3s will be as beneficial as selling 2s… any experience? How much ISO and HP will i get for fully champed 3?
If I’m not mistaken it’s a profit all around now. Essentially takes 75k to lvl and champ. But you get 17.5k for championing and 65k for selling. So it’s s long term profit of 7.5k plus tokens, cp, etc
Oh wait forgot the 13,250 of just selling the covers. So overall loss of about 5-6k. But you get 5 heroic for about another 1k. Plus 3 3*. Overall even trade and a way to buy cp with ISO instead of real $. IMO. 2* not a bad deal, 3* not really worth time and effort. If my 2*'d 3* counterpart is maxed. I would probably just take the ISO profit of not doing it
And 3* will be used in their PvP’s, it will make a big difference if you have a lvl 40 or lvl 266 3*. I think once you reach the point of getting maxed 3*'s the 1000 HP cost for a roster spot aren’t much of an issue anymore. So you’ll probably end up making a duplicate 3*
Start at 74530iso, 63 applicable covers in queue.
Cover and Champ character - 0iso, 50 covers in queue.
Apply covers, sell character - 82500 iso, 0 covers in queue
You have gained 7970 iso.
You could have gained 15750 iso by just selling the 63 covers instead of putting them in champ levels, but you lose the other rewards.
So in summary:
Farming gives you 7970 iso + HP/CP/Token rewards
Selling gives 7970iso + 7780 iso.
Thanks
Well, 120K is needed for maxing them out… plus 13 covers worth 6500 ISO.
It is 20k ISO versus 50 CP, 5 LT, three 4* covers, 1500 HP and more than 1 180XPs for SHIELD rank (at my Shield rank, 1200XP is worth of approx. 15k ISO).
Ignoring the long build time, i think max out-sell-again is pretty good investment for 3s as well. Especially when they drop 4s, LTs and CPs - the rarest things in game.
The only way I could see a 3* farm be viable is if you are firmly into the 5* tier, otherwise the 3* are too valuable when buffed or required. Unless you’re going to roster 2x set of them, which would only set you back about 100k HP. Plus, it’s not like the game rains 3* covers like it does 2* - I’m not sure the time investment is worth it vs. not having them rostered and max-champed.
But I’m still in the 3* tier, so maybe I’m blind to the possibilities.
I’d like to add to the list of those who have made the move to do this. I ended up taking the plunge a couple of months ago and it’s absolutely renewed the game for me. I’m in the 4-5 tier transition and 2* rewards were worthless to me and nearly all 3* were beginning to feel worthless. Now that I’m farming 2*, I never have to worry about essentials, I get the “instant gratification” of CP, ISO, HP, and 3* covers. There is also the random 2* cover → 3* cover → 4* cover → legendary token → 5* cover which you can’t really put a price on. I’ve already had that happen once already. It felt AMAZING. Plus it gives me something to do with all those 2* covers I get from opening tokens, so it feels like progress even if it’s not much more than treading water.
Then there is the resale value, which lets you pour ISO into another character immediately while you gather 13 new covers for that 2* you just sold.
All in all, I feel like this and the Deadpool dailies were hands down the best additions to this game in recent memory. Thanks for this, guys!
Here’s the one downside to farming, eespecially at the 3 to 4 star level.
Have a maxed out wolverine at level 15 that I could easily champ with my 90,000 iso. Have six covers ewaiting for him in the rq. And it was my intention to champ him.
but I pulled my 13th thing cover and have 3 extra covers also in my RQ. Plus my 181 Human Torch will produce another cover sooner or later. Oh, only have 8 days before the first thing expires fwiw.
Gotta champ the 4 star at this point and level poor 2 wolverine at level 15. Now so I sell the extra cover or respect him then sell the remainder?
