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

Ah, missed that one, indeed. But why jumping through one topic to fall down on that one that I tend to go for at least once a week ?

Because if you individually stickied all of the useful reference topics in that one combined topic, we would end up with 2 pages of nothing but stickies and normal forum reading would become beyond annoying.
If you reference that one so regularly, you could always create a bookmark directly to it.

Thanks Schnorki, did not notice the bookmark feature. Done it ! Thought that one especially would be very useful to most of us though, but fair enough.

Matter of taste. Some care about that. Others (like me) wouldn't really use it because rune pricing fluctuates anyways, making the recent price history a much more valuable tool for that.

And yet, some of us do care about some of the other piece stickied within that that you may not care about. So yeah, all/nothing..the summary thread is a solid solution for it.
Hell, I've referenced the armor-appearance one a hell of a lot more often than any of the pricing ones.

A guy told me recently that 3 ohms are worth more than a

Sur, because of the runewords which need

Ohm and

Lo. But a

Sur is half a

Ber if you decide to cube it. So I dunno, wasn't sure if that was true. Anyone have an opinion on this?

If the latest values are fine, 3

Ohm is between 15 and 17

Ist.
While

Sur is more 15

Ist.

So that would be rather true, but with a low margin... so comparable.
If the values of the thread are true of course ! But did seem ok to me for SC Non ladder.

if we talk about pc-nl-softcore rune market, there r some changes happend in last 2 weeks or so. price of

Ber went from 25

Ist to ?. and automaticaly

Sur went up from 15 to ?. think that is still not stable so will not write numbers. maybe some1 have better info and can give numbers.

Zod seems to be around the 11

Ist mark atm, give or take an

Ist depending on trader... I realize not alot of people care about the

Zod worth... but i like to see some value coming back to the highest ranked rune available.
Maby someone could do a update for the table on the first page?
There's deffo been some fluctations since it was written & trying to decipher the most up to date value's is a slight pain...

Recopying here latest post for reference :

Cham - about same as

Zod - about same as

If you see

Zod at 11

Ist seems not too far from this, same for

Sur a little bit less than 3

Ohm.

Any other update ?

PC NL SC
looks like we came to twighlight zone of trading. at this moment u can get 2

Sur for the same price as 1

Ber. this would make sence only if rune cubing is disabled.

The problem with

Sur is that it is mainly used as a way to get to

Ber by cubing (and it is said so in the

Sur page : misc/sur-t1329.html). Pride, Last Wish and Dragon are not super common runewords.

So it's not illogical that it comes closer and closer to half a

Ber.
But indeed, as

Ber are at about 30

Ist, and

Sur stayed at about 15

Ist, there you are.

Why

Jah now is much more expensive then

Ber?)

To sum it up briefly, almost as useful, but lower drop rate.

Well,

Jah has been more expensive than

Ber for quite a while.
It always comes down to supply and demand. People don't cube 2 bers for a

Jah. But they do cube 2

Sur for a

Ber. So for that reason,

Ber is more available since it can be found and cubed up 2.

Jah has better drop rate than

Ber.

After making Infinity and Enigma (x1Jah and x3Ber), there is no much use of

Ber but you have many useful and popular runeword for

Jah.

You can make Beast, CoH, Last Wish, add

Ber to socketd weapon and armor.
While for

Jah, that is 2x Dream, Last Wish (x3

Jah), Faith, Phoenix, Ice.

Ah, learnt that, thanks. Indeed, seems patch 1.13 has inverted drop rate that was in the cubing order before (

Jah/

Ber,

Sur/

Lo,

Ohm/

Vex,

Gul/

Ist,

Mal/

Um) for high runes, before

Amn it's messy with least likely being...

Eld.

For what it's worth, you would be better off monitoring the price in Forum Gold on D2jsp to find what value a given rune has at any point in time than trying to set a static rune equivalency value. Reason I say that is you could trade in your

Ber found day 5 of ladder for forum gold on d2jsp, then hold that forum gold until week 2 and buy two

Ber runes and have your Infinity, rather than thinking of

Ber as = 10 high runes [or whatever], you could think of

Ber @ TimeValue(Now()) = $$$ Forum Gold $$$. Then you will understand the time value of money and why rune prices fluctuate dramatically over the course of a season.

That would be assuming that the person having an early

Ber is okay with using that forum to begin with.
A forum that began by selling a bot, and to this day, is still homing most botters, and dupers.

For the sake of this topic more importantly:
A forum that has its very own economy, with prices not necessarily representative of other sites and/or in-game pricing. Often times not even remotely close (based on all of the FG whiners who demanded I sell them stuff for "ZOMG IS XYZ FG XYZ FG IS

Um U SELL FOR

Um NAU!" while normal in-game pricing is at

Vex or the like).
