I have 10-20 of each rune between Amn and Lem. What should I do with them? I have tried to sell them, but noone wants them. Should I convert them to higher runes using the Cube. I would be able to create 2-3 Pul. Should I keep them instead?
Lawbringer, Treachery , crafting , Lem is a very useful rune i would keep some of them for sure. AMN is prime for crafting people will pay for packs of 20 of em, or use them urself

Cube them up and keep a few at all times.
These are the runes for socketing/upgrade recipes and some good leveling recipes.

I keep 1-3 of each (just a habit) excess been cubed all way to Ko…
I am hesitant to cube Ko since there is useful recipe upgrading unique that involve Lem & Ko… but once I have over 8Ko/5Fal/6Lem I tend to cube them up
There are more runes worth keeping than this, but these are what I save.
RAL TIR TAL SOL for insight packs (20 ea.)
TAL THUL ORT AMN for spirit packs (20 ea.)
DOL for upgrade to HEL
TAL for upgrade to RAL
RAL for crafting
AMN for upgrade to SOL
SOL for crafting
LUM for upgrade to KO
FAL for upgrade to LEM
Higher than that is self explanatory. KO and LEM eventually get upgraded when I get too many of them also. Anything else gets left behind.

anything io + (flawed topaz +) i keep and upgrade to make lems puls ums, sometimes even getting upto ist/gul+ with my cubin.
then i keep other things for crafting and certain runewords, you just never know when you’re getting need em 
One of the guides says to cube them or Trade them with other players. First I suggest your find out the value of what you have to what you want so your not taken advantage of.

People will trade for Rals in mass. Same for Amns and Thuls, though not quite as commonly. Hels are also useful if you are making rune words and are not saitisfied with the roll of the item, or for removing temp runes/jewels in gear.
Guides…are quite lackluster in this game. Most just point to highest gear attainable and say nothing else works.

Well other then trial and mostly error - I had/have no clue on how to play this game. I have learned allot but the guide cleared up some issues for me, and didn’t spend much on it. As far as I know - there are no write ups like D3 Max-roll for each class.
I just noticed you mentioned something about removing gems. It would greatly help in some of the nicer items I have built and fall off during advancement.
The other thing I have noticed is when I make a question or reply - I see none of the statements made, so sometimes my reply no longer applies?
Trial and error IS how you play this game, trying different classes and skill builds is the meat and potatoes of D2. Obtaining Godly gear is the ultimate goal sure, but once you have it the game is no challenge thus uninteresting.
And if you need a guide on D2, everything you need is on The Arreat Summit.
That is not entirely correct.
That site is 3rd party which contains information that doesn’t work or apply to online.
You really need to be clarifying that when spreading that link.
Op is a troll. This type of post is bait.
I haven’t found anything inaccurate using it yet, except maybe one or two small caveats in the differences between D2R and original D2, since it was designed for classic D2. You’re talking like it’s a shady out-to-rob-you trading site. Dude, it’s basically a blog and it’s been around since the start, there’s nothing harmful in sharing that information.

See you do whatever other person always does is they ignore a simple fact.
The information on those sites is for offline only. There is no possible way to confirm that data also works online because no one has the actual data for how the game behaves when connected online.
For as far as anyone knows the entire drop table lists, and things like that could be completely altered just enough so some small change might not be noticed. but the fact it could be changed is the point.
Without confirmation the server data is exactly the same as the data on these 3rd party sites people keep peddling as the god sites, then it 100% absolutely does matter what information people are saying is fact.
People trying to say the game is the same offline as online, is a circle jerk argument.
The sever data cannot be confirmed because no one has access to it yet people keep circling back saying it is the same because people tested it. The problem is you cannot verify what people say has been tested without confirmation, which again cannot be done for the server.
This argument goes in a circle with people saying they confirmed information by testing, except that the results cannot be confirmed because no one has a way to compare the server data to the 3rd party sites, saying they can is not possible, how can they say it’s the same without being able to see the server data no one has ever seen. Saying the server data is shown is a lie because that cannot be confirmed.
Again it’s a circle jerk argument where the people arguing it’s confirmed are failing to get understand there is no amount of testing that matters and that the game files do not have anything to do with how the game behaves online. So they keep arguing things as fact they cannot confirm and yet claim they confirmed something not possible by testing?
Yes, yes it is. You must be really smart, because… MIND BLOWN!!!
Let me simplify the situation by using an explanation someone came up with.
If I write something on a piece of paper and fold it up and put it in my pocket, I am the only one who knows what’s written on it. Now unless I take that paper out or my pocket, unfold it and show what is written on it, then that means it is irrelevant how much testing someone does, what people look at, any math equations people come up with, and most important point, it doesn’t matter how many years people have done all that or anything else.
All those arguments people use are shut down by one simple fact.
No one has ever seen what I wrote on that paper so none of them know anything.
To argue that some test matters is ignorant, all the testing in the world has no relevance because in the end no one has confirmed their results of anything they used matches what the folded up paper in my pocket none of them have seen.
The only way to confirm all those people are right, is if I take the paper out of my pocket, open it, and let everyone see it… Until then no one has confirmed anything and saying they have is lying.
That piece of paper no one sees in my pocket no one has seen what’s written on it, represents the server data everyone keeps claiming they can see and have confirmed.
No one has confirmed anything, and how many years people have been doing has no bearing. Blizzard has never ever shown the server data publicly so people saying that data is public and has been confirmed have is lying and spreading misinformation or they hacked Blizzards server to get that information.
that is how it works and anyone arguing against that is a troll.
It’s on the original Battle.net infrastructure. It isn’t third party, and it is accurate for nearly everything. Is it in-depth? No. That’s what the other actual third party sites are for. Is it well maintained? Again, no, as half the time clicking something doesn’t work right. Hell, it’s still using SSL and/or very old TLS and is labeled as insecure by modern browsers as a result. But it’s still a valuable resource for newer players looking to learn the basics of the game.
As for the thread itself, yes, it’s troll bait. You’ll find better material elsewhere.
