maybe I'm a bit slow, but i just realized that the 12 dias that these T8 runes cost is 1/25 the cost of an X rune, and it takes 25 of these T8 runes to make an X rune.
Wonder if thats where they came up with 12 dias...
They finally listened to the players.. and made 8 runes cost what they SHOULD cost, which is 1/25 of an X rune. This way if you wished to make X runes from 8's, you're not spending an idiotic amount more money than just buying the X's. All this means is if you want X runes you gotta use a few more charges.
I'm very happy with this sale.. got me some advance 9's for the mage gear I never use and therefore didn't want to spend the gold to buy 10's
