@Haka-Taka is that you in position #76 in the Rankings?!
If so, are you moving runes to get that many points?

Moving them on and off works for Rune Lords??

I thought it did. There is nothing on the wiki that says that it does, but I am loathe to spend gems removing a rune, unless it is a really important monster, but I thought it did help me in one Rune Lords event to remove a VI to replace it with a VII. Maybe it was just my imagination?

yes, unequipping runes gives you the points too I waited till today because of rune lords and the discount is on

equipping and taking off lvl 3 runes every rune lords is an easy way to get extra gems yes.

Absolutely. I remove an X rune and replace it, fills the slider. Gives me a V rune for 35 gems, can’t buy one for that.

@Kaiju
Yes but #92 right now

and usually i don't move rune using gems but i had 12 ix-x rune on my vip monsters which i put to compensate for them being low level so this was the perfect time to remove them . spend about 150 gems

And as @joohnzy said you can do it with lv 3 rune using gold

It may be easy to remove Level I - III Runes.... it would take a significant amount of time and gold to get enough points.

As f2p I do my best to spend little for most gain, so I rarely remove Level IV - X runes unless I need to do it anyway. Since it's 50% off removal cost and Rune Lords, now is the best time.

Significant gold, yes. But nothing for people who are sitting on billions of gold.

Significant time: I estimate you can do this for about 10/15 minutes with lvl III runes and score the equivalent of taking off a lvl X rune.

@Ekto-Gamat Does this mean that the leaders of the rune lords event simply use an auto-clicker and add/remove level III runes? Would that suffice to get, say, 700 thousand points?

@Slamansen yes, apparently there are programs that can do this. Personally, I believe that this is just another way of cheating. If you go to the effort of doing it yourself then you have at least worked for it! I usually only do it when I am close to top 500 due to removing other runes for gems out of necessity. Then it's worth spending 30 min of mindlessly putting Lvl 3 runes on/off....

Not sure about auto-clickers, or even if that would be legal.

From what I see the leaders in rune lords usually are elite players who take the challenge as an opportunity to rearrange their lvl X runes, or who are in an elite war in which a lot of rune shifting is necessary.

@Ekto-Gamat I would envy the players that have 200 level X runes that they need to reorganize!

There also is rune discount now. Some players simply take off everything during such a time.

I think there was a time when extracting cells and recovering the runes actually awarded points for the rune lords event, that doesn't work anymore, as for removing runes, I guess only IF you need to re-organize, otherwise I don't think is worth, I'm courious how those people on the first places actually do it.

i think this never happened before or any one can put 3 x rune on a common then extract and repeat .

@Haka-Taka , it has been happening till yesterday...so, your example may very well have been happening & the reason why it was stopped ☺

Well, I tried and it doesn't work, I didn't had High level runes to see if it worked in the past, now is not.

Still wondering how to score high on this one other than crafting a Level X multiple times with Level 3 x 1 runes.

PD: I need Samael.

Strange ! maybe few were selected as a test group then , i even extracted 2 mini kaih during the previous event and rune didn't count

Are y'all offered gems for the Rune Lords event? My highest prize has been a level 5 rune for a long time now (not leaderboard rewards, just the highest one for completing the event).

@sansot prices are the same 3rd node is a lvl 5 rune. Only to reach top 5000 is 25 gems which during normal timing is about 3 lvl 10 runes
