To clarify I meant cubing mid runes past Ist is not worth it imo. Cubing hi runes is. Like 2 Sur to make a Ber :) 1000 Countess Runs in case you didn't see it kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6C1dmaLlqp5nqM Join the Diablo 2 discord :) discord.gg/8GXyu7A

Nice video. I also cubed 2 ber to jah. But it was from LK to make enigma

dude its HIGH runes not "hi" runes..

[@onesquirrel2713]

European Rhythmic Gymnastics: Wat r u talkin bout, r u hi?

[@GiuseppeG11]

Well if we're talking single player yeah it makes sense to cube high runes but on B.Net it would be a waste to cube them instead of trading them with someone who may need them. Especially high runes.

[@Dbrunski125]

European Rhythmic Gymnastics hehe oops. High runes *

[@darkfazer]

If we're talking single player - there's only so many Ists you can use. Personally I pick up every rune that drops, once I have 4 of the same runes I cube 3 and put it a row higher until I reach the rune I need. Small runes up to Ral for crafting, everything else up to Vex for BotD. I realise it is probably more efficient to just ignore everything and keep grinding LK, but for those who just can't handle being a "human bot" I think it's a pleasant and satisfying way of playing.

[@SJNaka101]

I do this as well, and with my gems too. Idk why but it's SUPER satisfying when I hit a chain of cubing. Like, one chipped leads to enough flawed to cube up and so on all the way to perfect. Or like one time I had a sol rune chain cube up to an ist, felt badass

[@kleomenis456]

Well done.

[@bangroji]

If you want hard way in single player, i only suggest you to get Enigma runes. And for sure..making some low runes to ist will make you a total badass

[@zachturner7323]

I always find cubing worth it personally, I pick up almost every rune I see for the cube! I agree though I wouldn't cube ists for guls, but dropped guls for vex and ohm absolutely lol. Great vid as always man!

[@Fingolfin3423]

Cubing any level of rune is worth it if you need the next level rune in question. That's the bottom line. I love D2, but the randomness of drops can be truly insane. You could play an entire ladder and not see the one rune you need. You do what you gotta do to cube your way up and get the rune you need. The way I view rune cubing in D2 is that it's an open option for people to choose - it's not a question of whether it's worth it.

[@dubson965]

completely agreed. this video is just bad and makes no sense. you can only get so much use out of Ist's at a certain point, and like you said, relying on a target HR to drop is like winning the lottery. By cubing up, you're actually progressing towards a potential target rune. This video makes no sense.

[@Rabijeel]

Not always. There may be demand on the Market for the Runes you use and an offer for thoose you seek in the end. Some are better cubed, others Traded. You would be astonished what you get for a complete "Insight" with a fitting Weapon, even if it is the Basic Version. And the same goes for the mid- and higher Tiers.

[@jacobrivers8339]

@@dubson965 Lmao, this video makes perfect sense. Would you cube 2 bers into a jah? No, you wouldn't, because that one ber is worth more than a jah. Singular runes hold more value on their own which is why a vex for example, is usually worth a gul and an ist even though 2 guls equals a vex. Same with how a Lo is worth an ohm and a vex because ohm can be used for cta and vex for hoto. You can't discount the different uses for each rune. Obviously if you're playing on single player without Plugy then it might be a slightly different situation but it's pretty much never worth it to cube past ist because of how useful and ist is on it's own.

[@kevind6723]

Yeah sorry you guys who said it doesn’t make sense are wrong, well, and uhh right. It all depends. If you’re on b.net cubing up doesn’t make sense. You can trade 3 ists for a vex no problem. Cubing would cost four, so you basically lost an ist. If your on single player tho and you want to craft a specific runeword. Then yeah cube away.

I was doing lower kurast to get high runes to make Enigma (up to Ber) it was becoming to exhausting and found two Gul runes and wanted to cube them to get Vex (I didn't have Ruby to do so).

What did he say?

[@roybatty-]

On SP pluggy, I think that if you really need to make a CtA, Grief or HotO, it is worth cubing up to runes like Lo, Ohm, Vex and Mal. It can take you a long time before any of those runes just drop, meanwhile the immediate benefits of having Grief, CtA or HotO are well worth it IMO because they will significantly improve your character.

[@patrickparamore3031]

I was lucky enough to find a Vex, but was missing Pul for Hoto. So I cubed up 3 Fal for a Lem, and already had 2 Lems. Then 3 Lems to make Pul and game changer in single player run to finally make a Hoto.

[@nostalgiaalct7075]

I think the question is very dependent on which runes you need the most (ex. if you need an ist to make infinity but you dont more than one mal for anything). I think you're on the right track that its generally not worth cubing 2 ists to make gul (which seems to be part of one of your main points) - as, gul is not so useful other than for cubing to vex - it still is rather situationally dependent at the same time, someone who dosent use 6 ist phaseblade but dosent use ist for mf in armor either, might have quite a few excess ists that they want towards cubing vexs for hotos (as those are useful on quite a few builds). Additionally, I think we probably agree that runes are ONLY worth cubing to in so far as your likely to use them (so that should factor into the equations also) - but not to say that this is a sufficient reason for cubing 6 ists and a gul into an ohm for example, because you probably have more use for the 6 ists. So I doubt theres any one conclusive answer to your question but there's plausible answers to similar, easier-to-address questions.

[@NolanFriedline]

Great info, is it worth saving lower runes to cube up to Lem? I usually just get a messy stash if I do that, but I'm not using Pluggy. I just noticed you put "Past Stream" on your livestream thumbnails, very smart, looks great and is super helpful! I wish everyone would do that. btw I just read a comment from Xtimus, what is his problem?!?! Dont worry about that fool, we love you and you have awesome original content!

[@sunshower6560]

It depends on what you need personally as to whether you should cube everything up, or not.

[@orensGT]

As you have said yourself: I think it depends on what rune you currently need. If you can turn three runes you don't need into one that you do, by all means go ahead

[@asbjrnfossmo1589]

There are so many uses for Pul, Um, Mal, Ist that I never cube those up. Cubing below that is only done if I started fresh and really need something, like I will cube Tals to get more Rals for crafting amulets, and I will cube Amns to Sol for blood rings, or rerolling Insight. After a while, I don't pick up Eth and below, Ith, Shael, Dol, Io, Lum, Ko or Fal runes. And after I have around 20 Lem runes and 7-8 Ko, I stop picking up those as well. All the other low runes have tremendous value in bulk, when I want to do a crafting session or reroll spirits/insights.

[@Hyperion856]

I cube to somewhere in the pul-ist range too. Even though they are not HR's you can still use them as a from of currency on ladder

[@sugondiesthephilosopher]

I consider Gul to be a high rune solely on the basis it raises max res. One could further divide high runes into those which raise max res and those that do not. Further, Pul starts the mid rune delineation as only two are needed to cube up to the next rune. One could go the other way and divide rune tiers on the basis of chipped, flawed, whole, and flawless gems; to me the gems themselves are ultimately inconsequential.

[@ggd2mf603]

I would have made 2 vex with it. I consider highrunes to start at vex, which is a really useful rune for a lot of rune words, like hoto, botd or even coolwords like death, destruction, silence

[@unixtreme]

For single player it's like whatever to each their own. But for multi-player that's a mistake. A Vex normally trades for 2/2.5 Ist.

[@peterpeterson4800]

I have 3 Ist, an Ohm and a Lo rune, but no Mal rune and no Vex rune. Both I would really need for Heart of the Oak and Call to Arms. Damn, Diablo luck can be so crazy. You can get a hand full of the really rare stuff, but you can struggle to find more common stuff, that would really help you though.

[@marcelloberry6829]

It all depends on what you need tho, for example if you have 4 ist runes and need a vex for hodo(or whatever you need it for)then you would do it right?

[@flagermusen]

If you are on single player sure. But if you are on battlenet its much better to just trade the Ist instead of cubing them.

[@Mike-om4tv]

Great vid! Worth it for tha ists

[@hanslick3375]

There are some rubes that are more useful than others. I use those as endpoints for cubing. Lem for me is an end point. Hel is and endpoint. Ith is and endpoint (caster belt). Ohm is an endpoint etc

[@xSayPleasex]

Um and Ist seem like obvious endpoints especially on Multiplayer

[@PJJ196]

Depends on the volume that you’ve accumulated during the run.. if ur able to cube all the way up and net urself a couple jah and lo runes and make a dream or Phoenix, compared to the amount of time it would take to farm those runes based on rng drop rates, I think it’s worth it if ur trying to farm out those high runes to complete a char build

[@justinjones5281]

Yeah made my first vex with 2 gul.

[@MidnightMarrow]

I grab every rune and gem that drops no matter the quality, goes into the stash and I convert them at some point leaving one or two of the lower runes in case I ever need them but in the end you're guaranteed high runes vs potentially doing thousands of runs for nothing almost nothing.

[@pawesomepal7827]

it takes 729 hel runes to make one lem

[@Rabijeel]

My Tac is to keep 3 of each - and all others get Crafted or Traded. As Higher, as less I cling to them and get willing to trade them for what I want - if I get the whole Shebang (if I want for Example a Wealth and an Insight for Norm), I do not care if I throw a Zod into your Face and neither does the majority of the Players.

[@kleomenis456]

Just don't ignore any rune to have a continuous production of runes. It pays off.

[@officegossip]

Yea that el that dropped while im looking for a Pul, Mal or Gul can eventually become a Ko. I grab everything I can.

[@Ubeogesh]

Cubing any rune Lem+ is worth it if you have too many of them for instance, i have no idea what to do with all the Guls that I find. If I find a Sur now, I will cube 10 Guls, 1 Vex 1 Ohm into a Ber.

[@AvoozlPlays]

I've resorted to doing this as even hell mode won't give me beyond the normal runes and rarely nightmare runes.

How about cubing according to which runes you've got more than enough of into the runes you need to build up further your characters. If you have 20 ist but no CTA, i'd cube some into a single ohm rune so i can farm that much more efficiently.

Back in the Day..c2003-2005 I would cube Up to MAL but not IST. IST could be traded pretty easily and was in high demand. GUL I would cube. I always got a ton of GUL runes, and most people back then didn't classify GUL as a high Rune because the running opinion on GUL was, it was pretty useless, so when necessary I would cube my GUL's to VEX's. VEX was in far higher demand that GUL and far easier to trade and far more valuable as a runeword component.

For people that like to trade, my opinionated HR Hierarchy is Mal*, Ist*, Vex**, Ohm, Lo, Sur, Ber, Jah, Cham***, Zod*** Jah should be regarded as the absolute best HR with Ber just being a scratch behind. You could definitely trade a Ber for a Jah. Why is this? Because of enigma. Best runeword in the game and Jah just so happens to be a harder find than a Ber because Sur's can cube into a Ber. * - Useful runes but high enough drop rate that people won't want to trade Ohm-Jah for them. Might get lucky with a Vex depending on the buyer. ** - Some people Would trade Ohm - Sur for this one, but it still has a decent enough drop rate that they wouldn't consider trading Ber or Jah *** - Not as practical, but rarest runes. Some people would trade a Vex-Sur for these if needed, and I wouldn't recommend taking cheaper.

Can someone explain why I rememeber high runes differently? When I played it was 3x pul = hr, 2x um = hr, and everything else after was valued equally while some people were weird about Zod, just zod tho but most took them as hr currency anyways.

[@godproplay8729]

High runes are determined on a combination of rune drop rate and player usefulness. Um's and Pul's are useful runes but drop often enough to not be considered HR's. A lot of people do not consider Mal to be a HR, and I somewhat agree because of drop rate, but I would never cube it into an Ist because of the useful runewords it can create (CTA/Grief/Infinity/Beast/Brand). I personally wouldn't consider Ist a HR even though it has good base useage and is useful for many powerful runewords, and I wouldn't recommend cubing it into a Gul unless you really need a Vex. Gul is considered to be a useless rune even though it drops less frequently than Ist, and would be considered the first actual HR, but since it has no practical useage, no one considers it a HR and this is a rune you can definely cube into a Vex. Vex - Zod are the actual hierarchy of HR's for most of the D2 community. There are a few people that don't care for Vex that much either though, and would rather consider Ohm - Zod to be the HR's of D2. To answer your question with Zod, people are weird with it because of the practicality of the rune. It is a great rune for Ethereal items and the occassional BotD runeword (or EBotDZ), but if someone were to pay an Ohm for a Zod, it feels a bit of a jip because Ohm has way more practical uses than a Zod. Zod is a very End-Gamish rune. Cham is also a little finicky with people for similar reasons, though it can make Doom which is a popular runeword. Side Note: If you obtain 2xSur runes, it may not be a bad idea to cube them into a Ber rune unless you really need to use the Sur rune or you figure you can get more value trading the Sur rune.

[@YourFinalMoments]

@@godproplay8729 thing is man, no one cared when I played. Like I said, they were valued equally. And pul was .33 hr, um was .66 hr. It was very direct currency. If you traded for hrs, you'd expect a mix of anything past um.

I keep lots of runes to upgrade them, I play HC single player and it’s not easy to just come across say an ist or make rune or an ohm. Sometimes you end up finding two sur runes or something and so you just up them because you really want the next rune up. Of course it isn’t actually “worth” it in a value sense I.e. two ists is more rare than one gul but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth it to up them if you really need a gul or if you already have another gul and you want to up them to a vex etc..

[@EriktionEBW]

If you play singleplayer / SSF it might make sense. But if you play online I wouldn't cube them. Like 2 Ist runes are worth more than 1 Gul.

[@iancanuckistan2244]

When you have 6 vex and want to make CTA, it's worth cubing 2 vex.

[@nickjohnson9704]

I personally cube all the way to Ohm or Lo... and I've even made Ber's from Los. Is it worth it? If you don't need Ist and you need the higher ones yes. A lot of items you can easily trade straight for an Ist, I rush my mules so they can join hell trading games and I also do their hell forges since I get them there. I've been tipped by other players while rushing and I just end up with a ton of Ist / Gul. Cubing Ist to Lo isn't that bad if you have a full stash of Pul - Gul. Ideally Mal+, but I keep lem+. Then again... I'm one of those rich bots. I'm making a Last Wish for my merc... cubing 2 bers to get the last Jah unless I find a Jah before I find a base. So in the end it comes down to what you need and what you have. Do you need an Ist to trade for some gear? Do you need an Ist to socket your MF gear? Then keep em and cube lower ones to reach it... if you don't need any MF gear, and you don't need to trade it for other gear.... keep on cubing them! I like to keep at least 1 of each mid rune for making a runewords like CTA or Hoto for new builds, but If I need a Lo for a merc fort... I'll cube everything. I was thinking about making a video 100-500 hell forge drops. Including drops I got from the rushes. I've found an SOJ off normal Baal minions, multiple Mal & Ist, plus the actual hell forge drops and tips from other players. I made out halfway decent. Hate the bots and call us lazy, but the bot still needed gear to work.

[@grattata4364]

Why even bother to play if you're just botting all the goodies, instead of finding them legitimately?

That’s funny , I always pick up every rune . Every season there is some guy who trades a um or a ist rune for a el or eld .

[@billdewall6152]

I used to think those guys were crazy until one day I needed an El and felt utterly lost at how I would even begin trying to get one aside from overpaying.

How to upgrade higher then thul rune? And if it's even possible?

[@Sweetguy1821]

You need gems past thul, as part of the cost

[@shootinjimmys3774]

Definetly worth it for ists. I only cube gul and sur after that. Too many gul is useless imo

[@Prvosienko]

There is not a single useful runeword that needs Gul, so sometimes Gul is even less worth than Ist on ladder. Ergo, always cube Gul to Vex (because sweet HotO)

I hate to be that guy but I got a double ist drop from either my first or second hell countess kill on d2r.

if i have 5 runes of a certain type.. i use the cube.. 2 of the same type in storage is all i really ever need.

I don’t like cubing, if someone needs an um, most likely they’d take 2 puls, and having 2 puls just gives you more options in terms of buying items if you’re still at that level

[@robinellis83]

No word of a lie. Been playing since release and the best rune I got from lower kurust was an um rune. And no, it didn’t come from a chest. But rather a log because I don’t have enigma and have to walk and check everything on the way. True story
