Cubing Strategies - dalai008 - 2012-08-09
Hi all -
All of my equips are unique and most have reasonable potential lines. My old bow is the only legendary item I have (180 atk, 12% Tot dmg; 9% tot dmg; 20% boss) New bow is 188 atk (1 star) and also unique. I have 3 equips with primary line of 9% dex and I am planning on buying the miracle cube package with 10 free pot locks. After I lock the 9% dex what cube to use after. I am planning on using enlightening to get best possible chance of a good roll. Is this the best strategy? Also if you lock a potential line on a unique item does that prevent the item from going to legendary? What are your cubing stategies for the upcoming avalanche of cube sales/packages?
All the best

You can only use Potential Locks with regular Miracle Cubes, and you can't get to Legendary with those.

Potential locks are a complete waste afaik. I'm not gonna even bother with them until they release Legendary versions or something.

They're a very viable option when they come in packages like this and they make cubing a little more affordable for people that can't afford to cube everything to Legendary.

With a set of 10 locks I got my pants to 18%luk (lucky here, 6all/6lu/6luk), dkhanjar to 15%luk, and got my dagger 30%boss 15% damage. They're actually quite nice for Unique gear.

Yeah, I got +12% str onto my epic/unique gear (3 3% all, 1 3% str on epic belt) with a set of 10. I was pretty impressed. It's a lot cheaper than getting everything to uniques anyway. If they were available more cheaply individually then I'd be quite willing to cube for 6% secondary lines rather than try to up the rarity level.

Generally what people do with an item is try to get Epic Potential Scroll on it. This saves a lot of money because going RARE --> EPIC can be so random.
What I do is...
Epic Potential Scroll on an item, if its a 2L, I will attempt to make it 3L and up its rank using Super Miracle Cubes.
If its unique and stuck at 2L, I would use a white awakening Stamp. Then back to using Super Miracle Cubes till Legendary. Of course sometimes I hit a nice 18%stat as unique and I'd stop.
It is important you try to get 3L before it hits legendary. I learned this the hardway
Note: I am unsure if epic potential scrolls can be traded. IF your item is RARE, you should resort to using regular miracle cubes till it hits epic.

Or you could reg pot till you get a 3 line, and then epic pot it for 3L epic o.o
Lot cheaper than a 20k nx stamp.

Epic pots are untradeable now
