I tend to save up too but I am not rigid about it. But hoarding larger numbers of souls is the best idea - it just seems to up your odds a little with sheer numbers. i tend to go for level 6 sacs as often as I can during an event so save your four stars and auto level them up when grinding (for the cheap slow way to get them up to top level - I tend to have four stars levelled to 80 and alway try to level my five stars to 100 for sac events - I tend not to level up four stars to five though but do that sometimes if I am close to a vortex fill and need a little extra essence.
I do tend to hit LOL and BNW events quite hard and this is where my ironite goes (chose to stop doing the soul bundles as I never got anything of note form these and was always annoyed so stopped it and spent it all on events where you kind of know what you are going to get).
From LOL events I build up a lot of normal souls stacks - last event I had a lot of stacks - over 30 I think so I use these between sac events to get close to vortex as I can so that I can try miximise my yield during thg the sac event.
I also grind nearly all day with all of the free SoT so my phone is constantly grinding once the SoT is refilled - this helps to build up ironite and also collects more normal souls - I also always do quests for any goodies there and also do my daily missions too. I have followed this pattern for a very, very long time! Seem sot work fine for me - i rarley buy anything like ironite, ever - maybe the odd thing now and again if it is cheap or a bundle deal but as a sort of rule I buy nothing other than the odd talisman set for example.
My ironite rarley goes over say 3-4k and rarely goes below 1k and it just changes across the months events - as I said I tend to throw my ironite at the LOL and BNW events or the odd thing like the current one where you need to hit a lot of cosmos battles (not used any this time but I have in the past).

Wow! It is really crazy how much money some people seem to invest in this game. I also had some PVP fights against teams with 2 of the new blue sets... I can't believe it that you guys buy that much! But his is not meant to be a critisism, its your choice. I am sure that it is not necessary if you have a good resouce managment, but actually I don't care. BUT what I care about is, that I hope that this money is utilized better in the future from NF for more content (once in a while, I am not too picky about that), stable servers and better testing for updates and other things. I have many freezes again in the moment, very annoying. Also the game stutters again (like a year ago), if many reflecting shields are up.
Recently I really would not mind to see some ads and sponsorship stuff within the game to avoid that the game goes more into pay-to-win but still enough money is generated to keep the game awesome.
I looked up my purchases and - believe it or not - I bought a set of explosives and guard back in the days! Cannot imagine nowadays, or? But this gives me some hope, as we know that guard and explosive are not very rare nowadays...
About the souls: I have also hoarded plenty of everything, materials, souls and fragments (think oldest are valor's) and have only opened a handfull of souls since the last event with double chances as it would be stupid otherwise if you only miss that few chars like me.

When was the last double chance soul event? If its close i might just wait for that to happen. Im really just wanting a navigator eddie, and during the sacrifice event that dropped additinal gunner character souls i had 2 vortex fills (and keep in mind everything to get to them) and did not get one. I was a bit frustrated.
You can find this here in the forums and on the official homepage: http://ironmaidenlegacy.com/news/
but more important - do your homework with the following question: When will the second anniversary be?
I am looking forward to that! But much more to the gig tomorrow night YEAH!

Any words from the devs on the possibility to increase the character limit? Since I keep some dupes for the gauntlet and one of every character each (including all those one and two star chars), I am constantly "living on the edge"...
