[2020] I have literally hundreds of runes. What use are they?

Greetings @Bangt there will be use for them in the future. You will get to certain stages of your AW Development where you will need to fill the Rune Wheel again in order to upgrade so keep piling

Kind Regards

Herodite.  

Paladestar said: I have a level 30 Golden Abyss, with the level 31 rune circle completed and ready to go. I still have 3,608 GA runes left, how will I ever have a use for these, unless a new feature is added that makes use of them? For example, a way to break certain runes for shards (outside of the current hitting a duplicate rune on a circle method).

I concede that is quite a hoard you've got there. I think it's just the nature of the game that they will eventually start to pile as you continue through your journey. Whether this is something the team are aware of/taking into account for the future I'm unsure but I do understand what you mean!
