Friendly Reminder Before You Buy the Re-Useable Augment Rune

Since people are hitting Exalted today reliably now:

Every single time, the re-useable augment rune becomes unuseable at the max level of the next expansion. And every time, the forums rage because it “wasn’t advertised” and they “wasted their money.”

Be prepared for the augment rune to stop working at level 70 or whatever the next cap is.

Edit: Since people won’t read replies, things like the MoP/WoD reusable items are flasks, not runes. Same with the legion broken shore item. The only reusable runes are from army of the light and rajani and are not usable at max level.

We know this patch has 12 to 14 months left in its run time so the investment is probably plenty solid still. At least as long as you’re playing from now until then and do progression content.

Well to be fair, it isn’t advertised. No need to quote it as if that’s an unfair claim.
But good PSA.

How long will it take to hit exalted if I don’t do any rep content other than the rep u get from killing bosses in the raid?

Reusable rune seems like a really bad deal. 50k for 1 rune per hour, seems almost impossible to make that pay for itself.

Is this what you’re posting about?

Hey, anything that makes people avoid buying it and keep buying my veiled augment runes instead is a positive in my book :+1:t4:

I’m not saying it’s not worth it. :stuck_out_tongue: I’m saying be prepared and don’t rage because you were warned this time. Lol.

I think I got like 800 rep this week from the raid, so an entire year lol.

If you do zero content maybe but as a mythic raider this rune is going to pay for itself very quickly.

It’s 40k at Exalted.

Augment Runes are ~100g, so it’s essentially 400 Augment Runes. Most raiders will go through that many before 9.2 ends.

You gotta look at it as a big picture

You can now use augment runes for any content you do, cuz I doubt you were popping a rune while doing quests or whenever you fell to your death

It’ll pay for itself pretty quickly

The legion one still works, I don’t know what do you mean by that.
And it still worked during BFA also.

The price for me has always been a case of… I’d rather just not have to even think about this.

I’m going to buy it, just because then I can throw it on the bar and it becomes a “meh, might as well” button to use in really any content.

:money_mouth_face: All mine sell to the guy who cant resist a deal.

LOL you should know by now nothing stops the rage…

I’m using my old Fel Focuser thingy from Legion still. Is this not the same type of thing? I can’t use it with a flask. Can the rune be used with a flask?
