			Hey guys.  Looking to the community for a bit of advice regarding runes/gear.  I just came back to the game after a couple of months of not playing and I'm wondering.....should I just save the purple rune tokens I have since with the transition I can now choose which runes I want and just use my blue rune tokens for the gear I'm using now?  To give you an idea, I have everything that the vet dungeon vendor sells, so I won't be getting upgrades through glory until I start raiding.  On the one hand, I don't want to use my good rune tokens if I'm just going to replace this gear....on the other hand...I should probably rune up the best I can for raids....

I would say do something like this. Use platinums to rune your current gear with general runes lv 50. They are pretty cheap. Start farming some gear. When you get pieces that are close to bis outside raid use tokens to rune them with set runes with as high lv as your gear can slot into your gear. Save all the purple runes for when you get raid gear drops.
 
Hope this helps. Ofc this is just my opinions but it makes sense in my book.

			After doing some more research today...I'm pretty sure I'm just not going to rune at all until much later.  With the way the new system works you're not even adding to your assault power, just to procs of Crits/Crit severity, and then the set bonuses are just extra of those as well.  It's not like before where unless you runed yourself up you wouldn't even have the assault power for vet dungeons...I just realized all this this morning lol.

			You can just fill up on the basic stat only runes and be ok for dungeons, the rune sets obviously are stronger but much more expensive.

I guess I'm an idiot for using blue+purple runes in my contract reward gear? Heck, I have 6/6 [runeset of choice] on the iLvl100 gear.
 
Oh well, those are probably as high of a gear as I'm gonna get, so might as well. Besides, I spent more on the damn rerolls than on runes themselves.

Nah, not an idiot at all. Especially if you are at the cap of the gear you expect to get. And in a few weeks, when they make the rune fragments more accessible, it'll be much easier to craft exceptionals, reducing the value of all those tokens you used. I wouldn't regret a thing. :)
