Most efficient rune storage method?

[Enderspoons]

I've been piling up lots and lots of runes (as one does in a game with this much extraneous content).

Thing is, this late into a playthrough, the only investment that comes close to keeping my rune count down is levelling up, which is not desired because I intend to stay at my level for the purposes of PVP/invasion/jolly cooperation.

That said, I don't exactly want to throw away my runes on something completely useless either: I'd like to keep them around in case a necessity to spend big comes up. Since carrying them on one's person puts them at risk of being lost, that brings me to my question:

What item (that you can purchase infinite amounts of) has the best Buy:Sell ratio?

Glass shards. A good investment indeed.

Buy tons of Crab. Start handing some out every time you get summoned.

After seeing so many hosts get obliterated by Malenia, I've started handing out 10 or so when I get summoned.

I mean, kind gestures are good and all, but my question is strictly about selfish efficiency.

I want to buy large quantities of some item (does not matter what that item does), and then at a later time sell all that stuff back when I need runes.

Boiled Crab buys for 600 but only sells for 50. Surely there's an item that's more efficient than 12 runes in to 1 rune out?

The optimal method? Spend your runes on every consumable and spell you haven't already learned or maxed if you aren't using them to level.

There is no storage method for later rune values as the amount of runes you can earn will easily cap everything that isn't an upgrade material and the loss of conversion reselling is very poor compared to simply accessing the various rune farming methods like Moghywn Palace. Further, early on you earn runes faster by simply progressing or you can early skip to Mogwhyn Palace thus early there is no valid storage method, either.

I wouldn't worry about it. Just blow your runes on stuff you might need/use in the future.

i think normal arrows have 1:2 in rune value in with them costing 20 and sell for 10

The buy-sell ratio of Smithing Stone 1, 2, and 3 is also 2:1 like normal arrows.

However, player's finite storage means Smithing Stone 4 would be the next candidate (buy-sell rate: 9:4).

ER does not have Nioh's Silabar Ingot system, which can be a good and also a bad thing I guess.

This is a thorough-enough answer for me. Thank you.

Feel free to deposit your rupees here.
(I cannot for the life of me find the dialogue for this npc to refresh my memory - why can't other game wikis be as detailed as Dark Souls')

Once your character is 100% ready for pvp, if you have a lot of runes just make a backup. You'll be able to restore it if you decide to go at higher levels or if/when the DLC comes out in case they could be useful.
