Spend 50K and swap that rune out, no reason to penalize yourself the use of that rune all month (or longer if you forget you have it). Also if you get a big boost rune, don’t wait for FRR. World Boss or “toy/test” monsters are runed with left overs…anything not on a monster at the end of the month should be looked at very closely as to why it is in your inventory. This keeps the supply level of quality runes in check with the low drop rates of quality runes. Each month you should re-evaluate your teams and may find certain monsters are no longer as important or have fallen off completely and you can reclaim their runes. You give those monsters (ranked by use and rune types) the best runes possible to ensure little risk in failure and greatest ease in accomplishing tasks quickly. Monster/Rune simplification is the idea you use as few monsters as possible in all areas in Summoners War… most players can do all content with 30-40 “core” monsters. +12 it if at each check point it is worth keeping, sell it the minute it stops going well to preserve mana. The point is while getting a rune to +9 is fairly cheap, a +9 doesn’t tell you if the rune is really worth keeping or will truly be an upgrade. Likewise once you get to the point you are able to just keep 5★+ runes always take them to +12, evaluating them at +3, +6, +9 (even +12) if you should keep it based on rolls.

I.E 3★ never beyond +9, 4★ never beyond +12, etc. Law of 3s – We use the law of 3s as we call them, no rune should be upgraded beyond their Star Value x 3. Please note there are exceptions to everything, the below is generalized but may contain specific examples or exceptions and we will try to note them, feel free to provide more if they extend a thought process, this guide is not meant to list every exception to the rule.
