HRs - to trade or to cube?

So, since the release of D2r I've been lucky enough to drop some HRs in which i was to trade up and get a

Ber and

Jah to make my first Enigma. I decided to want to make a Fortitude, in the time I've been able to get multi Ists/Vexs and an

Ohm by trading, as I'm struggling to find a

Lo for anything less than a

Sur or 2xOhm, would i be better off just cubing up to a

Lo at the point?

cubing 2

Ohm to

Lo is still ok. for reference you can check the "what is X rune worth" sticky. Basically you just need to avoid cubing:

Ist into

Gul, and

Lo into

Sur. The values change frequently though so best to keep a lookout.

Thank you, I played D2 years ago but never LOD so i was new to runes and all, i learned quickly, but I wasn't sure if it was best to hold out or just cube HRs aside from

Gul.

i dunno, i see alot of

Lo 4

Sur posts yet nobody or hardly anyone does them. Ive just cubed my way to

Ber since i'm tired of waiting.

Sur ->

Lo You will get 20 different requests

Lo ->

Sur (probably in game for a naive person or something)

Right now, for some reason

Ber prices are still increasing, even more so than

Jah, which I did not expect.

This is to the point where I no longer

Key farm, since cubing up to

Ber is very very hard (boils down to trading

Lo +

Vex for

Sur).

I hope I can find a

Jah or

Ber in game.

I

Key famed and traded my way up to my

Ber

Jah to take an Enigma, Luckily I found another

Ber and

Jah in game but am holding onto them atm

Exactly the same here. It took a while too. Nice for you sir

I cube everything up to

Lem, from

Pul to

Ist I partially cube up, but always leave a certain number of

Lem-

Mal runes in stash (5-6) for Upgrading Items.
I keep 1-2

Gul just in case, otherwise I cube them up to

Vex (or

Ohm).

Except for

Sur, which I cube directly.

Have to say that I found

Jah

Ber quite early on and I am not on the Enigma trip.
I wouldn't have cubed them up back then because I think "too much is lost".

I rather hope that I find the higher runes that I need (mostly

Lo in my case, which of course drop the least for me) ... even if it takes a week or two.
