combining runes, and rune prices

I am still not sure what everything is worth when it comes to runes.

I need a

Lo rune and I have

Ohm and 2

Vex. would I be losing value if I combined them all to make

Lo?

the value from when I first traded for a

Lo rune seems to have changed. A few weeks back I traded

Ohm

Vex

Gul

Ist for a

Lo rune, but it seems like now that is not a fair trade. Did the price of

Lo go up or the others down ?

I am curious as to what others, who are more knowledgeable about the trade market, think.

How Much is 'X' Rune Worth? [Pricing Guide]

The key thing to understand is that runes don't always trade at cube ratio. Sub

Ist's are generally ok to cube, cubing 2 x

Gul to

Vex and 2 x

Cham to

Zod is fine, 2x

Sur to

Ber is popular and possibly one of the best ways to get a

Ber.

Don't let the number intimate you, think all HRs in

Ist's. In D2 trading world an

Ist is like a dollar.

Lem = 1/18

Ist

Pul = 3

Lem = 1/6

Ist

Um = 2

Pul = 1/3

Ist

Mal =

Um +

Pul = 1/2

Ist

Ist (base currency)

Gul =

Ist +

Mal +

Pul = 1.66

Ist

Vex = 2

Gul = 3.33

Ist

Ohm = 2

Vex = 6.5

Ist

Lo = 2

Ohm 13

Ist

Sur =

Lo = 13

Ist

Ber = 2

Sur = 26

Ist

Jah =

Ber -

Vex -

Ist = 22

Ist

Cham = 2

Ist

Zod = 2

Cham =

Vex +

Ist = 4

Ist

That list looks much different than this post.

I copy and pasted that from Morphin's guide when i first made that post so he must've updated the prices since then. just fixed it.

so cubing 2

Vex and 2

Ohm to make

Lo is loss of investment essentially? From looking at both charts, the one posted and the link to the other price values, it would seem the

Ohm

Vex

Gul

Ist would trade to a

Lo, but that doesn't really seem to be the going rate anymore.

Personally I stop cubing up once I get to

Pul.

Pul is where I feel there is enough value to trade and keep in circulation.

that is what I have been doing as well. Anything past

Pul I have felt like I would just lose value in what the runes are worth. But this specific situation I was curious about due to past trade values.

You can combine

Pul into

Um. It's combining

Um to

Mal where you start losing

this isnt true.
if you are trading high value itens, nobody would like to receive an offer with lots of

Um's, even

Mal's. If you combine them into

Ist, it became much easier to bid

For me, the way I do it is, I avoid cubing up from

Lem and up, but if I really need

Um runes, I'll cube Puls.

Otherwise, no cubing. The only HR I'd cube would be Chams to get

Ber.

Cham cubes to

Zod though..

Despite what the price lists say: If you need a

Lo and you have all cube ingredients, and you don't need them, it's much less trouble to cube. I did the exact same thing. Started selling my stuff and made a

Lo from a bunch of

Ist runes. Yes, technically I could have traded around but that takes so much longer. I consider my time to be of value, too.

Oops, yeah I meant

Zod heh.

with the prices i've actually seen traded lately. not many sellers are following the suggested prices at least up to

Ohm, and all runes are being used to trade for bers. you will lose value (according to guides) cubing up to

Lo, but will save time getting it. time is always a variable that influences value. Consider your demand for

Lo, the gear you could trade the runes for to upgrade your character, the value of your time, and the rune value guides. Sometimes paying extra for what YOU WANT comes without buyers remorse, or in your case... cubing what you want. The important thing is the buyers remorse. Don't do it if you believe you will regret it, but remember that yolo feels pretty good.
