Um Runes - Cube or Trade

If

Um is worth 1/3

Ist and

Mal is worth 1/2

Ist, cubing

Um runes would seem to lose value as 2/3

Ist is more than 1/2

Ist. So, what are you all doing when you have excess

Um runes? Cubing, Trading? If trading, what are you trading them for?

Trade them. For instance, normally 6

Pul can be also traded for

Ist, which is better than cubing them up to

Ist. Thus, you may get

Ist for 3

Um

I think your read is correct: cubing

Pul or

Um loses market value, but it's not always clear what you can trade them for. You can buy crafting pieces or pgems and such for

Pul/

Um. Otherwise, you can cube them to save time (even if it loses market value) or you can add them to trade bids: if someone bids

Gul, instead of bidding 2

Ist, you can bid

Gul+

Pul/

Um

Pul runes is a

Zod rune, so i would probably stop cubing after

Pul with some exceptions like 2

Sur for a

Ber because

Ber is so useful.
