What to do with very limited Rune wealth?

I always fall into the same pattern when I play...I make far too many characters and then have none who are very strong.
Currently I've got a level 82 smiter using a Bloodmoon since I have no better weapon, an 83 Meteor/Orb sorceress with Tal Rasha's set, an 83 Lightning Fury Amazon without a shield, and a level 85 Summoner Necromancer....

Anyway...through some trades, and hellforges, (and a setback when two HR's I traded for poofed without me ever finding a socketable to put them in)

I've gained a little bit of rune wealth (Very little) and I'd like some ideas about what I should trade it for...either to help out the above characters or to make a whole new one optomized as well as I can with what this will buy me.

I've got 1 Ist, 3 Um's, and 5 Pul's (and a Stormshield I found which I could either give to the amazon or trade for another Pul)

Any thoughts?
 
Anything with crushing blow is better than your bloodmoon, such as the "black" runeword, very cheap one too.

I can't give tips on what to trade them for unless you tell your realm and l or nl.
Assuming this was ladder europe, I'd personally get some gear for a MF sorc and start running in full games in hopes of decent drops.
 
ok...sorry I didn't mention the realm...I'm on USWest Ladder.

I've retired my Paladin for the moment until I find a better weapon for him and some gloves...and better boots (etc)

The Sorceress gets some good use but I could use a Sorceress Torch For her, an SOJ and a Ravenfrost, and a Mercenary with Infinity (which is what 6 times my net worth to get that?)

I've been playing the Amazon recently as well because I like that the Sorcs, adn Zon's can kill groups of monsters from a distance. That is my preferred playstyle.
 
I will say:
1. Go use your sorc with ful tal rasha - personally I find tal rasha full set is a good magic find equipments - not bad magic find, good killing speed and some nice resist, life etc.
2. read more price guides, know rough value on items, go trade game and go RIP peoples off :laugh:















3. Ebay...
 
Run Nihlathak with your summoner for destruction keys. You can easily trade destructions keys for multiple terror and hate keys. When you get 3 keysets (3 terror, 3 hate, 3 destruction) you can make a game called "3keysets for hr". Someone will come along within a couple minutes and give you a HR for those three keysets.

That's how I got an enigma for my summoner. He can handle Nihlathak without problem (just CE from the very edge of the room until he's dead). I've traded a d key for 2 hates, a hel, and a shael. I've traded a d key for 3 terrors. I've traded a d key for just 2 hates, etc. Not hard to do because a lot of people either don't have a character set up for getting Destruction keys or they don't want to spend the time.
 
Thanks for the advice...but I'm wondering what to get with whatever runes I get my hands on. I've got three full keysets now...but if I traded for a HR what would I do with it?

I've had two before and lost them both because they were duped. I don't want runed just to have them I'm wondering what to do with them once I've got some.
 
Get that raven first. If you're planning on running Nihlathak, get a nature's. Raven+nature should run you Pul or less on USW-SCL.

For the short term, consider either an Insight-based merc or a Lawbringer-based merc. If you want to make your own Infinity and you want a good one-- well, the price for eth 4s cv has been going up lately. It's somewhere around Um+Pul now.

I've found it hard to sell 3keysets for HR. Besides, lesser ubers are fun to run :p. My brother and I both run lesser ubers for profit. Buy 3 keysets for Um+Pul and then sell the organset for HR.

If you get a HR and have no immediate use for it, you may also want to consider selling it for 2Um. Ums are safer to carry than HRs and trading to get back to a HR has been fairly easy for me. Be warned, Cham and Zod are hard (but not impossible) to sell for more than Um+Pul on USW-SCL. In the past two weeks, Ist has been trading like HR.
 
I don't know about others, but I put my HRs on one mule character dedicated to them. I never take this character into public games, only into mule games I've made so that (hopefully) I minimize the chance of one or more going poof. I started doing this after a jah I had (my first hr) went poof.

Otherwise, save 'em up for either currency or a runeword you're intending to make.
 
i do similar to zuke with my high rune mule except i never bring it into a game with other chars, when i want to trade one, i xfer it onto a different mule with items, then trade the hr/s from there
havent lost any since i started doing that
 
i only read the main thread because i already have a good answer to yuor very common question. People will often make far too many characters and not gear them correctly. Now in my personal experience you will be far more satisfied with one char fully geared and ready to do what needs to be done. Because with no good gear a high lvl char cant do anything and is basically rendered useless. You need to strip all your characters and make a hell Magic Finder Character (I suggest a MF Hammerdin) and use him to increase your wealth and in no time you will have the sufficient funds to fully gear another char (After I make my Magic Finder I ordinarily make a PvP Character). Tese are just tips that i know have helped me and i hope they help you too. Have a Nice Day *DeMoNiX :evil:
 
Also, infinity doesnt come to its full potential on a meteorbers merc. Lightning sorcs are best for that.
