I've heard some people throwing around that potential is somehow changing/disappearing when Chaos rolls round, specifically % damage modifiers.
1) Is it changing at all
2) If so are certain bonuses disappearing
3) Or is it being taken out entirely?
I'm assuming something happened in the KMST Chaos patch that they're referencing but so much money is made off cubes it seems odd that they'd make them useless. >__>

What I do know is that the lvl 121+ tier of potential gets taken out. That only affects lvl 130 Ele wands, lvl 163 Ele Staves and the VIP gear. They would simply get the same as any lvl 71+ item. There is a debate about if the already potential'd VIP items would be left untouched, but I think the educated guesses leans toward no. Appearantly there is some kind of weight tied to potential after Chaos, but I do not know what that means. My guess is that is affecting how much of it you can wear or use. Might also be tied to what kind of potential you get when you reveal the item. Thats just guessed though. I know I would be inclined to just downright quit if I logged in after Chaos patched and could no longer use my potential gear. It simply cost way too bloody much for players, Nexon might nerf it, but there are limits.

I don't understand why people are saying cubes are going to become useless. As far as I can see, only the 4th tier is being removed... so what? You can still cube lvl 71+ equipment and get the same results you see now.

As for whats going to happen to all the 4th tier vip/ele staves, they will probably just become legacy items (like 70 stat chtps). You won't be able to make vip weapons with tier 4 potentials but there will still be some in the market from pre chaos.

Besides the changing of 121+ equips to same potentials as 71+ gear, the weight system also limits the % potential you can have from an equip:

Major changes I noticed :
-Nerf in most of the stats
-Weight data (Based on other games such as Gunz, this seems to limit your potential amount. Such as 100 for the max weight, you can't go over the limit else the item can't be equipped)

There are still some errors in the parsing, but yeah this is more than enough.. You are free to fix it if you want.
Here's my source code :

9%.
