Re: iso Lo rune
Personally I think if you want an equal exchange of currency, you either need to find someone that want the exact change you are offering or pay a little extra as an incentive. Therefore a Lo (normally worth 9 ists) would probably goto for around 10 or 11 ists if you want to trade it quickly.
When I offered 10 or 11 ists for Ber, no one shows up in my game. But when I offered 12, there are 4 or 5 people shows up right away. So good luck.

Re: iso Lo rune
I deleted my post and sent it privately, but I really think the currency chart used on this site needs to be fixed. The inflation of ists compared to other runes has been much higher than Vex to Zod.
I think it's more accurate that Vex = 4 ist, Ohm = 8 ist, etc. A Lo would be about 2x Ohm, not Ohm+4ist.
Some people trade Vex for 3ist, but that doesn't hold anymore, and it's going to catch on to more and more people as people understand the Ist inflation. The truth is that because of Countess, the number of Ist runes in circulation compared to everything else is just so much higher, and this continues to be the case as long as people keep running her as much as they are.
The number of ists in the hands of players is simply way higher than the number of people who have vexs and higher. It's not a 3:1 ratio. If you couldn't cube 4ist to a Vex, I'm pretty sure it would be 5-6 ists for a Vex instead. The inflation ratio is really that bad.

Re: iso Lo rune
There is no doubt that Ist has decreased in value due to Countess farming. However the situation may not be as bad as you think. The number of other runes are increasing too. For dupers, do you think they would rather dupe a Ber or a Ist? Also I think one of the main reason that ists kept its value is the rate of consumption is greater than other runes. For example how many Jah or Ber do you need? If you are looking for engima, then you need one of each, then you are done. How many ists? Well for MF characters, you need 9 or 10 in addition to the rune words. I think the chart is about right: Ber == Jah == 2 ohm, ohm is worth somewhat less than 2 vex, and vex is around 3 ists (just because Gul is useless). But if you want to trade ists straight up to Ber, you will probably have to pay around 12 ists instead of 10.
