Gems are trivial

The caveat to this is gems bellow flawless drop at a lower rate in hello difficulty, increasing in rarity the lower the quality - so chips will actually hold more value than runes, eventually.

the main point to take away from this is that everyone now has a dedicated stash tab for their mats that stack up to 99, and once the respective slot is fully saturated you'll be forced to up to the next unit, and so on, until you're eventually just making Zods from Els. The question isn't if, but when. It is an inevitability.

You dont even need to saturate each slow, you can just start when you have enough runes to up to the next and just manage your stash that way, the point is that you now have an extremely efficient way to do this.

If every man-hour spent in D2 by every player on all platforms since the start of the game followed this plan -- we'd be 1/4 of the way to our first Zod rune.

Guys, I hate to tell you all, but we are WAY BEHIND SCHEDULE.

I use my rals to repair my enigma sir


rip. Each repair = one less potential 2/20 caster amulet.

By the time he finishes, he will go through villian ark and become EL Guzman


Lol, I liked this one

the game will shut down before any one person is crafting zods with el.
That's just a fact. Much like how every single time you shuffle a deck of 52 cards, no one has ever seen those same cards in order, and never will before humans go extinct.


This has nothing to do with shuffling a deck of cards? I dont even know what point you're trying to make.

Please keep us updated daily. Let me know how efficient this becomes.


I will provide status updates from time to time! Maybe at a rate of 1 slot conpletion/ update. Current status: fully saturated up to Hel with 44 in that slot.

I feel some are stuck on the idea of cubing up to Zod purely with El - this is not the plan. The plan is to fully saturate each rune slot up to the lowest unsaturated slot so that each rune prior to my lowest unsaturated slot will trigger a chain of conversions resulting in 1 additional rune added to my lowest unsaturated slot.

E.g. im currently fully saturated up to Hel, with 44 in the Hel slot. So if I pick up an el rune this will force me to convert all runes prior to Hel so that I can successfully place el in my stash, resulting in 1 additional Hel rune.

I am not suggesting you pick up 3 El to make 1 Hel.

You will find all kinds of runes along your way, just store them and watch the spill over effect work its magic.

Yes, this project will require dedication but once your rune farm is operational you'll be in a much better spot than... before you were using gold for repairs ._.

My Man finna learn a serious math lesson. He's dug in on this whimsical shit, I'll give em that.

I'd like to point out, your theory for upgrading is the same as if you had 2 of every rune.

Yes, exactly. There's literally zero functional difference between having 2 or 120291219802910 runes.
That guy is either a genius rage baiter or on some 1D chess diet.
