Cubing upgrade rates. - Random_Overlord - 2010-12-18

Recently I found an under average Targa helm, it gave 3 lines.

After 2 cubes it became "epic", then another 14 it became unique with these stats:

9% dex
40% chance to block 32 damage
6% dex

I also screwed up on a Reverse Rotano (Level 120 archer shoes) and it was underaverage as well because of a lower defense stat.

It took at least 10 cubes for epic, and another 21 for it to become unique with these stats:

9% dex
5% chance to block 40% damage.
6% dex

However with my other items, like my engaw which is scrolled with a pinkish name which is the highest color rating. It took aproximatly 120 cubes to go from rare to unique with:

30% boss damage
3% all stat
6% accruacy.

Also I have a level 100 glove with a purple name that's soaked up 50 cubes so far and it's still in epic stats.

Is there a chance at the very least that cubes have higher upgrade rates on under average items?

It really just depends on how lucky you are.
I've found items that are Epic right off the ground.
Usually it takes about 30 cubes for an item to get from Rare to Epic and then another 30 for it to become Unique
When I was cubing my clean 3 line Stirgeman Power Pants for HB it took 92 cubes, iirc, for them to become Unique and then another 6 until they got HB on them
My 3 line VIP Mage Shield on the other hand got to Unique after 15 cubes but didn't give me anything good until another 25 cubes later

I would have said fewer that that, maybe 20 on average, to get to epic, and more to get to unique, possibly a lot more. Not going to suggest a value, since I've only succeeded twice in getting items to unique.

Somebody in a thread a few months back who has apparently used some crazy amount of cubes suggested that there was a 4% chance of going from rare to epic, and 2% from epic to unique. That would correspond to expected number of 25 cubes to get to epic, and then 50 more cubes for unique.

Well I've cubed quite a few items to Unique and even more to Epic, so I'm saying this from my experiences

It depends on the item. Im 170 Cubes and my Knuckler is still Epic.

Underaverage level 110 shield with 3 lines. o-o

I'm starting to wonder things now.

I'm pretty sure it's all random blind luck.
