Sounds cheap in light of one million gold legendary mats… lol
At 1200g you’ll be able to buy 83 runes for 100k. I’m pretty sure I’ll run more than 83 dungeons/raids this season. The 100k rune is waaay more cost effective.
Do you use a food buff? Cause the rune is more beneficial than that.

Where do I buy this rune
Yeah I bought one.
I bought one and basically keep 100% uptime on the buff.
Correct, but the stat/gold conversion ratio is hundreds of times better. That’s not nothing.
As others have said, though, it is a raw stat increase for about the price of even the smallest BoE item that people would no doubt replace in 1-2 weeks. At least the rune is until season end.
Which brings me to why I will never buy it: spite. These aren’t infinite-use items, they’re “infinite use until I hit level cap in the next expansion” and that feels intentionally petty to me. Im still mad that Blizzard thinks its necessary to disable the old infinite augment runes with each expansion release. I bought the lightning-forged augment rune back in BFA back when it was a TERRIBLE gold proposition (EVEN for mythic raiders) at current AH rune prices. Because I thought it would be cool to have as an unideal little stat bump at the start of the next expansion too. But nope, they decided to disable it. Same for the Shadowlands “infinite” augment rune.
It’s unfortunate, because these infinite augment runes are a great way to have an actual gold sink for the economy, but I just don’t have it in me to bother if they’re only good for, what, a year at best? Half of which I likely wont even be playing for?
At this point it’s just a collector’s item to go with all the others. You will have to use the rune at least a 100 times to start to be any kind of meaningful lol

Since I fart 100k an hour Ill buy it, kudos for doing the math, I couldn’t be arsed.
I bought it. Thought I might as well since I made a decent chunk of gold from the patch.
I can’t see they give enough of a power boost to make worthwhile. But then I don’t max my gear by using gems and enchants and those would make far more difference for far less expense.
I thought I was slow I just got 2 to 20 this weekend.
You should have more than that just by doing the weeklies/dailies and the first chapter of the campaign.
nah that doesn’t come into play anymore - I got 20 on two characters this weekend and never did any of that plus I didn’t even hit 10 the first week so missed out on the ability to get the extra boost from using multiple rep tokens right at lvl 9 on an alt.
They rolled back people that exploited the rep before the raid launched its easy as many have said take one char to 10 first then do quests on a second char bam your 18 renown easy esp with the 19% bonus rep from anniversary event and an additional 10% from Pilgrims bounty
0.66% increase when you have 13k intellect, but I’ll take any buff I can get.
Yeah a toy would have been awesome.
I never bought the single use runes.
But since I’ve gotten the 100k rune I’ve clicked it at least 50 times and it’s only been a week.

You have to buy it? For 100k gold? Here I thought Blizz was kind enough to just hand it out as a high renown reward for once. Guess I’m not gonna using any augment runes at all this expansion. I never used runes enough to justify their cost, and I don’t do high enough content that they become mandatory.
It is a waste of gold.
We could just be honest and call it the $10 Augment rune…
