I've been thinking about the extreme long term, on how it is best to get most or all the runes you can, even secondaries, that are important to some champs (ex: Magic Resist Marks for Mid Mages). How much would IP would I save if I just bought as many Tier 1 Flat AD Marks (15 IP) as I could and eventually combined tons for random Tier 3 runes. How much would I save? Since the law of probability states that it will only become impractical once I reach 3 of several types of Quints, and/or 9 of over half of each type of other mark/seal/glyph.

To show this in action 225 T1 runes combined into 25 T3 runes. That is about 3375 IP for 25 OF THE CHEAPEST T3 RUNES (for 205 IP) at the normal price of 5125 IP. Think about getting a 2050 priced quint in there too!!!

I've further calculated the average price of all T3 runes divided by its total to get 764.18.....

Now put this as a percentage of what it costs with combining for a T3 for 25 T1 runes (375 IP) and that is 49% less IP!!!!!!!!!

Literally near half the IP needed to spend in a theoretical max effect of combining. Think about that for a moment.
