Thanks, this is a very helpful Cheat Sheet! I want to add one quick note about which rune upgrades players should avoid. The reason is that 2 of the base rune are more valuable than the next rune that you can cube them into.

These cube conversions are NOT RECOMMENDED

Ist
into
Gul

2
Lo
into
Sur

2
Ber
into
Jah

Jah

Cham

Yeah would be a good addition to the sticky. Thanks for writing this @Humppasorsa.

@BillyMaysed I did see your list and it is definitely more comprehensive. This very specific style of layout has been useful to me when trading/managing runes so I just felt like recrearing it here :)

I’ll add a crosslink to your rune topic as well.

i agree i love the table system, however, it made my guide look ENORMOUS when i tried to put everything in those tables so i decided to keep it condensed and bland looking :P

I appreciate that man, we can never have too many resources for this game. Especially when it comes to runes/runewords.

Like @Morphin's "How Much is 'X' Rune Worth" was an instant hit because people cant get enough info about runes. lol. D2 basically became all about the runes and i can see why certain players stick to classic because runewords swallowed up the game. I personally love them though, but it does limit gearing options and render most uniques useless.

PS for the @mention to work you'll need to select my name when it pops up and itll auto-generate [mention][/mention] around it so the person gets a notification. Or if you quote anything i say then i'll also get a notification. Highlight text and Click the "Quote button for quick quoting replies. :D

@BillyMaysed I hate how messy all the ingame item tooltips are with all the runewords. Uniques are so nice and clean.

I was really annoyed how messy the table was on mobile so I decided to change the entire recipe column from text to custom thumbnails.
