if you play ladder or single player .. Yes, but it would take you waaaaaaaaay more than 1000 el's to make a zod. I mean it would take you over 200 gul's to make a zod. There's a calculator linked on the main page somewhere, where you can punch in a lower rune and then a higher rune and it will tell you how many of the lower it would take you to make the higher.. I don't have the link right now and I'm too lazy to look, Then again, I don't want the calculater, There's no way in hell I'd ever embark on the task of cubeing el's to make a zod, so you check the main page if this is something you'd like to do ..

I think it's somewhere in the billions. Maybe more.
Yes, it's *possible*, but you'd have a better chance of actually finding a Zod than you would finding enough El's to make a Zod.

I remember the post you're talking about, some guy figured it out to be like 256,000 el runes to make a zod. At the rate my drops from hell council and hell countess have been, I'll be there in no time :cheesy:
If you're non ladder, I think you can only cube up to Thul with just runes, then you start to need chipped gems up to Dol. Anything higher than that is single player/open/ladder only :hanky:

It's well more than 256,000. You'd need over 300,000 Lums to get a Zod.
Figure it like this (I am leaving out the gems from the recipes because they're easy to get):
You need 2 Chams to get a Zod.
For 2 Chams, you need 4 Jahs (2 Jahs = 1 Cham. Thus, 4 Jahs = 2 Chams = 1 Zod).
For 4 Jahs, you need 8 Bers (2 Bers = 1 Jah. Thus 8 Bers = 4 Jahs = 2 Chams = 1 Zod).
For 8 Bers, you need 16 Surs (2 Surs = 1 Ber... you can do the rest of the math)
For 16 Surs, you need 32 Los (2 Lo's = 1 Sur)
For 32 Lo's, you need 64 Ohms
For 64 Ohms, you need 128 Vexs
For 128 Vexs, you need 256 Guls
For 256 Guls you need 512 Ists
for 512 Ists you need 1024 Mals
For 1024 Mals you need 2048 Ums
For 2048 Ums you need 4096 Puls
For 4096 Puls you need 12,288 Lems (this is where it gets more expensive, as you need THREE of the lower rune to make the higher one. So we start multiplying by 3)
For 12,288 Lems you need 36,864 Fals
For 36,864 Fals, you need 110,592 Ko's
For 110,592 Ko's, you need 331,776 Lums
For 331,776 Lums you need 995,328 Io's
For 995,328 Ios, you need 2,985,984 Hels
For 2,985,984 Hels, you need 8,957,952 Dols
And I think there are 14 more runes below that. So multiply 9 million by 3 14 more times. It easily surpases the billions.
The number of El's you'd need to Cube up to a Zod is:
4.28456E+13, or
42,845,600,000,000
Or, around 43 trillion El's. You'd better get started on those Countess runs now.
EDIT: Correction, I think there are only 13 more runes below Dol. That would still be 14.3 Trillion El's.

Hummm...wonder where I got that 256,000 from....guess that's what happens to you when you spend 8 hours a day at work and unfortunately spend most of it doing NOTHING because there's literally NOTHING to do :cheesy:
