Hello my dude!!!
Welcome to the forum mate!! Glad you are here and there are a lot of good people here with great gear, good advice, and some really D2 gods.
First, are you ladder or non ladder and I presume soft core?

Non Ladder, and yeah soft core haha
Rune prices are a bit strange right now but I think a Jah rune is 21-24 ist or so
Vex is about 2.5-3 ist
Hopefully that helps man.
Someone plz add or change this ratio if I am wrong.
Id agree. I value Jah at approx 3.75-4 hr. Vex .50, so by that logic 7.5-8 vex= Jah. But as im learning its all about finding the right seller.
For reference I would say ist= .1625 hr. This guide has served me reasonably well.

Thx mate, nice guide for the new guys! Only thing maybe a bit questionnable I think is the ber vs jah valuation. I see more and more 1 jah = 1,5 Ber (or Ber + Sur). So by that logic, hardly possible to get a Jah for Ber + 2-3 ists.
Other than that, nicely done. 
Yes always appreciate the lists Jeger!
And Yellah spot on
Ohm= 4.5–5 ist
Lo= 6-7 ist
Sur= 9-10 ist (this one I am not 100% on)
Ber= 12 ist
Jah= 22–24 ist— we need confirmation on this.
Because I think closer to 24 side
Problem is, ber rune value dropped hard, so that skewed everything else lol
Ber dropped to 12-14 Ist, Jah to 16-18 Ist. Someone sell 80 Ist at traderie and he declined my 4 Jah offer.

Yeah man Jah is rather coveted right now hahaha
I can’t believe he declined that offer man. That’s why I originally said Jah like 22 ist but that seemed high but now I don’t know lol
Ber is worth only 12-13 Ist? I have impression a Ber is still worth 16-17 Ist on traderie, but I might be wrong. I have impression Ber still worth 2.5 Lo. I agree with the evaluation of the rest.
looks like its more like ist gained value compared to Hrs.
Because I can still pretty easily get 3 Lo per Ber, but it somehow does not convert to 21+ ists for ber.

Thank god for jsp, not having to have all that trash in my inventory.
Ber is still 3 Lo however when you want to convert Ber or Jah into Ist runes then you get less and less. 1-2 weeks ago the numbers were higher, e.g. Ber was 14-16 and Jah was 18-22 Ist (or something like this). Ist is the king of runes nowadays. 
p.s. there are very interesting traders as well who as a seller wants to get Jah for his 18 Ist while as a buyer he wants to get 24 Ist for his Jah …

Last week, i got 15 Ist for Ber. I tried that again today, and nothing - not even a nibble. I caved and went to 12 x Ist, and was trading inside 90 secs.
I usual do Lo ohm vex gul ist
