What to do with all these runes

I have an entire mule full, and an entire shared stash full, of low runes.

So many

Amn....What do I do? start dropping? stop picking up?

idk if i cbf to buy chipped gems? It'd probably end up costing me more than i'd end up combining.

Just ignore them, I don't pick anything below

Lum except those needed for recipes.
It's a waste of time to cube low runes.

Counting only

El Runes, it would take exactly 14,281,868,906,496 (14 trillion) through

Horadric Cube transmutations to create one

Zod Rune.

because

Ral

Amn

Sol

Thul

Hel are useful for crafting, you could store 20 or 40 of them and sell them for higher runes like

Pul

Um. I recommend to keep only 2 or 3 of each low runes for runeward. other runes below

Lum you could just cube them and upgrade.
anything higher than

Lum

Ko you can upgrade them to higher runes accord to your need, but keep in mind cubing runes doesn't always get you more valuable rune, for example: 2

Ist =

Gul, but 2

Ist has higher value than a

Gul

Personally being a newer player... (like 2 weeks) I save all runes and upgrade them all.

A lot of mid-high runes do not trade at the cube recipe value so you may be losing overall rune value by upgrading.

Check out this High Rune Value Guide or the Overall Trade Value Guide for guidance on all item values.

I store my extra crafting jewels in the empty spaces. I would post a picture but it would probably drive some people crazy.

Doing it anyways -- sorry for the red - my main died so I can only see it with lower mules and alts:

Haha that's great, I also have to always check so would be nice to do a layout like this.
