Got this safeguard rune from previous event. Just wondering anyone has already used it or plan to? and outcome?
With current event, I do plan to make +12 lvl 90 for a less-played lynn. Maybe someone has the same ambition for +12?

    Can never justify using it personally. Maybe on armor at +10

    That is for sure.
    I'm just curious, if there is a fresh +11 lvl 90, which is now much less valuable, what is your thoughts? Use it for a 45% +12 or roll back to +10 with 55%?

    This rune can be used beyond +15.

    I would just make another +11, then boom one of them instead of using the rune.

    Why wouldn't you use it. Instead of making the item useless, you get another chance at it. It's like making a new +10 but skipping the hassle to get there.
    It's worth the most at +12. After +13 I wouldn't consider using it anymore.

    I've heard this sentiment before that it's worth the most at +12. Why do you say that is?

    I'd say the rune is useful but only in limited circumstances.

    1. It's only useful if you have no intention of selling the item.
    2. It's not preferred if there is a better rune for the job
    • For armor: premium armor enhancement rune takes you up to +12
    • For weapons: What level is the weapon?
      Level 95: Exquisite enhancement rune takes you to +11 and special rune takes you to +12. Therefore safeguard rune makes sense from +12 > +13 or higher.
      Level 90: Today we have the +11 flawless enhance rune. In the future we might get the 100% +12 runes for level 90 weapons. Therefore safeguard rune makes sense from +12 > +13 or higher.

      If you a creating a Level 90 weapon for your character with the +11 flawless event rune I would wait before attempting +12. The 100% +12 rune will likely come before Christmas and then you can decide where to take it from there.

    Good point, for this event I already boomed a +13 so I think I am going to hoard several +11's and wait it out.

    100％ ＋12 rune? It would be great to have one like this.

    Personally, I don't feel comfortable to use this rune beyond +12, especially when I got few of them.
    For example, I have only one +13 weapon. I will enhance it if I don't intent to sell it. If failed and restored, it would still be +13. Otherwise, it rolls back to +12, but what is the chance that I get it back to +13? To me it's a net loss. The rune is useful after +12 only when you have already boom one before, because of a sharp drop on enhance rate (45%->20%?)
