so i was curious how many El runes it would take to cube up to a Zod so i did the math and it seems doable. you would only need 14,281,868,906,496 El runes. so here is my math. to find how many El runes you need for any given rune just take its rune number starting with Eld as number one. for example, Tir being rune 2, and 3^2 is 9 and we know we need nine El runes to cube up to one Tir we know the math checks out. So lets take Pul the 20th rune and raise 3 to power of that number (3^20=3,486,784,401) which means we need that many El runes to get one Pul rune. since at Pul runes the formula changes from three to two we will adjust the formula to raise two to the power of the rune number, starting with Um as rune number 1 making Zod rune number twelve. for example, Mal being number 2^2=4 meaning we would need 4 Pul runes to make one Mal which we know is true, so again the math checks out. therefore, lets take Zod at number 12 (2^12=4096). which means we need 4096 Pul runes to cube up to a Zod. then we take our number of El rune to one Pul and multiply. (3,486,784,401 X 4096 = 14,281,868,906,496). so you just need fourteen trillion two hundred and eighty one billion eight hundred and eighty six million nine and six thousand four hundred and ninety six El runes. fairly confident my math is correct but if isnt lemme know. also, why did i take this much time outta my day to do this? i have no idea. can i borrow an El rune? then ill be one closer to my goal of Zod.

lol right. there is appx three trillion seconds in a century. which means you could cube a trillion every century(assuming 3 secs per cubing). so to do the whole thing would require 1400 years. and thats just to cube them assuming three secs per cube which obviously is the most ideal scenario.

Similar calculation was done on Reddit (and countless of other times before) with bit more relaxed terms - assumed you could pick up 100 000 runes in 4.76 hours at 350 clicks per minute. Took 78 256 years to go up to Zod.
I haven't really checked the math here, just quoting what was posted elsewhere.
Here's a more interesting question: what rune is the lowest rune such that you could still cube up to Zod within an average human lifetime? You may assume you have a cube at hand and other players are dropping you the same rune right next to you so that your only job is to pick them up for transmutation. Let's also say they drop you the right gems as you need them.

I think you just got yourself 4.760623e+12 Eld runes here.

i was wrong, and my big mistake was i thought there were 3 trillion seconds in a century after looking again there are appx 3 billion seconds in a century. so having to cube 14 trillion runes means i was way off. i was thinking i had 3 trillion seconds a century to work with not 3 billion.
