That’s like the third time someone’s mentioned ten packs for 3200. Not sure what’s going on for some of you, but from the very start of the event it’s always been 2500. For me anyhow.

At Kaz or other Devs.
How long will the Gunner boy have an increase essense value?
Debating if I should just keep the excess fragments and claim the guy or buy more event souls with it...
My guess is that it will drop after the event.... The A Hierophant was increased during the event, but I just checked and it is worth the same as any other Assassin 4* now....Quote:

OK, so with the end of the event drawing nigh, I reckon I could perhaps get enough frags for another 10-pack.
Im only missing the general really (have aces and the pyros).... So what is the best use of my frags:
a) Get the 10 pack of souls, try my luck and convert remaining aces frags etc to precious
b) Convert the 2500 bomber frags to precious directly (after getting one gunner bomber boy)
c) Get a heap of bomber boys for the next sac-fest
Thoughts?
I’m doing exactly that right now, you may end up with spare Bomber Eddies if your lucky, their great for the next sac event.
I’m almost at the point of getting another 10 pack now but it won’t be enough to claim the field Marshall through frags I’ll have to do it again plus three...
I’d stick to hard level for speed. I think I’ll need at least 450 (3x150) of ironite to get it done... good luck!
Great event for me and still going at it as was lucky to have aload of ironite in reserve but in the end have spent very little of it through normal play and the loot from the battles. Probably down by a few hundred and I am now not far off a second Field Marshall (my first one was from an event soul but was pretty close to the frags needed target to get him anyway).
Got the two Pyros and Eddie (fragments) os my usual poor luck on souls. I always seem to need to grind away to the bitter end though this time I have the new characters but I am pushing on as the loot has been really decent for a change on this. Loads of SoW, ironite, upgrade material, gold as well as 13 primordials (though to be honest I have loads of these already from previous events).
The phone has been on almost 24/7 though so just plugged in and set on auto. In all those battles one solitary defeat on madness which was just odd! My two kids accounts have been harder as they dont have the teams to auto madness and struggle to do hard but they too have picked up a fair bit on auto over last few days.
For me this has been a really good event and for once I have the new characters as they are released and all I have had to do is play it a lot and spend a few hundred ironite so I have to be happy with that!
Continuing with it until it ends I think to get soem extras such as the Heroic soul in the shop and maybe some rare souls but will see how it goes as just got a fe more battle to get my second Marshall - not even sure i need him to be honest but why not!
This is the first event in which I actually earned and got all the new characters debuting in an event. I got lucky and looted the general after saving up for a 10 pack to summon 17 in total (missions for event). Then I just kept buying 10 packs since I was decent on ironite and wanted that Aces bomber eddie, but during the process I looted another general. And the last 10 pack I needed to get Aces Bomber to claim from fragments I get a dupe during the summoning of the last 10 pack, during which all I got all the pyros as well. This was an amazing event, and the story, although short, was very entertaining, especially to see my preferred eddie doing an interaction with the Allied general. I farmed all day and even left my phone on autoplay at night and I'm just happy to say it paid off. The loot you get from autoplaying for a few days straight is awesome. Looking forward to seeing similar events unfolding in the upcoming events and months to come :)
I'm on my way to the last 10pack of event-souls to get the Bomber Eddie with fragments. I opened 42 souls and all I got was the magus pyro soldier. Shit rng as always.
Well we're reaching the end and I'm walking away with both the blue and yellow Pyro Soldiers. Complete set! I think it's funny how the yellow one can put people to sleep with a frickin FLAMETHROWER.
Maybe it has a sleeping agent in the gas! LOL
Maybe they could have a laughing gas thrower or add the funniest joke from Monty Python.
I was skeptical about doing this event, put off until a few days ago.....BUT, this event was pretty awesome.
I got the Event's main 2 characters, also G. Pyro, enough primordials for a 3rd set, tons of Gold/Skill shards/SoW/FC's (about 1000), and a Legendary Heroic soul.....
All for like 450 ironite. I was amazed at how it kept replenishing the ironite.
The only downside was it consumed my phone for a few days..... but It was worth it.
Thanks NF.

It has been a good event for me, this time i had enough ironite to get both characters, although had to get them from fragments.
Only run madness about 1200 times without a defeat being my best time 0:33 and 1:10 average.
My phone had to be plugged in all the time at work and used an emulator at home. A lot of time but the rewards were good, about 50 skillshards (around 1200 on stock), 11 primordials, 500 SoW (for 3 weeks of Arena; sacrifice event is coming but something tells me it will be like past month with gunner souls), around 700 FC, lots of colourless shards ( which are good for current event upgrading characters.
Overall a nice event and hope there are more of this kind and no the ones where you spend your ironite to get 3* characters.
Only got Bomber Eddie through fragments and the magus pyro soldier. Fck rng!
Everybody OK to extend the event for a day or two? :)
Despite heavy grinding in the last days I am short in fragments due to missing the first 2 days of the event, bitter!
That would be ok with me blade, im not finished either. I need my phone for the real world
Are we getting an arena or LoL event tonight?
One of the best events ever, just like the Ferryman grind. But, this one was probably even more generous.
I committed right away to farming all 750 frags, and I made it with a couple hours to spare. Here are my numbers (all on Madness difficulty):
95-100 SoT refills bought with Ironite
14 Primordials
~800-900 FCs
I spent ~3000 Ironite on SoT, but my current balance is only about 400 less than when the event started. Ironite drops were very generous.
I got the Eddie via frags and the two new Pyro Soldiers from souls. The Feldmarschall also came via souls about halfway into the event, but I decided to hit 750 frags anyway, since the overall farming returns were so good.
Also, each SoT refill took on average 40 minutes to autoplay. With about 100 refills, that worked out to about 4000 minutes, or 66.6 hours. A great number for sure. And, also a hell of a lot of farming over a 6-day period. Not to mention the extra time needed for SQs, Arena, Gauntlet, etc.
Nice job, LotB Team. I hope we see more of these kinds of events, just not too often. Also, it was great that you offered souls directly for Ironite, which wasn't the case for Ferryman. I was fortunate that my real life allowed me to commit to this event this week, but there are definitely times when that would be impossible. So, having an alternative to farming is great.
Dropped my last 10 pack and a dupe aces high instead of the feldtmarschall... Oh well, cant complain really! Twas a good event!
I tried Feldtmarschall and Gunner Pyro together - sleep for everybody.
Summary of "hard" farming (+ my general thoughts on the game):
Well, I wasn't able to farm on madness, only hard, and my returns are:
Runs appx. = 1650
frags = + 8367
FC = + 405
Gold = + 6.83 mil (but I did Skull quests daily, plus paying for evolving talismans and characters, too)
SoW = + 500~
Primordials = + 7
SS = didn't keep track on those, but had 0 at the beginning and now have 7
didn't keep track on shards and evo material
Ironite app. = -1200 (though only maybe -700 if I forgot to count in the 500 for 2 Primordials I bought from store at the beginning of event. Not sure, sorry).
Ironite-wise farming on HARD didn't bring the same resuply values as at MADNESS, but I am very happy for those 405 FC and primordials (had only 5 in total before, including buying the 2 pcs from the Store for 500 Ironite).
I was farming +- 18 hours a day.
What sucks is that all I was able to achieve was to buy 30 souls in total for the frags (2500*3 + 1x common Rare soul for final 100 frags (I bought the Legendary Heroic for 750 frags, too)). Adding these to the 11 souls I've got from first passing the dungeons and the fragments from challenges (I wasn't able to do the all magus madness mission) gave me 41 souls total. That really sucks because that left me 9 souls short to get ABE for frags per soul. Unless he will drop from the souls, no Eddie, not to mention Fieldmarshal. (haven't opened them yet as I have full character inventory, waiting for the better-than-last-month sacrifice event).
Since I wasn't able to do the all magus madness mission, I didn't get the third Purge talisman and had to buy it for 500 Ironite (auch!).
This is the widening gap I wrote about in my first post.
(I read all your replies and by all means I understand and pay respect to the time/money you invested in being "stronger" players).
But what NF does is essentially making "recreational" players eventually quit the game. This is due that unless you are not willing to either spent considerable amount of hours every single day, or buy exceptional talisman sets/event souls pack for real money, you will not be able to remain (even a little bit) competitive. And by competitive I mean to have a chance to get these talismans/characters, too.
OK, NF/you can say that there are events when recreational players can get the new talisman sets even only through fulfilling the challenges (not necessarily only for cash). However, without the currently best talismans and the newest characters, these challenges are still just not possible - like now me not being able to do the madness magus challenge. Because of this very reason I only have e.g. 2 Viper talismans (out of 5) since that was all I was able to get out of the challenges. (Now they are just occupying space in my Talisman inventory.)
The same with last Radiant talisman in Gauntlet. This time I hit historical record and finished in Grade A, one game won therein, too (patting on my back). Thus I've got only 2 radiant talismans, 55 Necropolis (have 205/500 total) and 70 FFE frags (have 195/1000 total). OK, talismans were my fault, since I should have reached Grade A also 2 weeks ago (but some of us have lives, right?). But for the characters - given the fact that the Gauntlet season runs for 3 (4?) two-week periods - to get enough frags for specific character (Charlotte/Mariner/Necropolis), it is just not possible for me to get any of these Gauntlet characters - since even if I reach record high A grade every time, I will only be able to get up to 3(4) times 55 frags of the character, amounting to 165 (220) frags tops.
And so on, and so forth.... (Lord Farquad, Shrek 1)
Summary:
All of this, plus discrimination of older/paying players in terms of "RNG" when dropping the event characters made me rethink my need to play this game.
I love it (as a true Iron Maiden fan), but I see I will get nowhere much further without sacrificing way too much more of my time (have job and two small children and thus almost no time) or of my cash savings.
The only thing keeping me still logging in is the upcoming event with the start of the tour (I even had the ticket for Rock in Rio concert, but at the end I will not be able to attend) - in hope there will be some fre.... rewar..... less expensive loots for casual players. Then, I guess, it will be over.
Thanks.
Nodding Frog won't listen. Just play a "little" and don't worry about moneymaking development!
Very good summary!Quote:

Again, it was a great event, very rewarding and the new Dungeon design was just fantastic! For me, personally, it is very sad not being able to finish the grind although I wanted to. And for those players that could not farm madness - no chance at all! So in my opinion a slight reduction in the needed amount of frags (equals time) would be very welcome to not exclude too many players and maybe add an option to buy some souls with ironite - maybe restricted to a certain number of boughts, if the general idea was to only give players that can grind madness >50-60 hours the chance to get enough event soul.
Nice event, got the Feld Marshall & the 2 Pyro with the event souls and the Eddie with the frags ... + a lots of goods (a complete set of talismans as well, +550SOW ...)
I farmed the raid as much as I could, but ended up with 490/500 for Eddie and 490/500 for Field Marshall.
I spent over 1000 iron coins for extra time and it wasn't enough. Will these come back ever?
