To Cube or not to Cube?

In my experience, I found it better to just splurge. Go all out or don't do anything at all. There's remote difficulty in reselling epic items and it can take a toll on your subconsciousness in the event a unique item appears with a cheap affordable cost. However, if you buy epic items to cube later on (which I'm assuming you're going to do based on what you said), you might want to take Stereo's advice and just cube it to 15% something. After which, sell the 15% dex/int/luk or trade for your desired 15% str. While I can't speak for Broa (I don't merch there), I see plenty of smegas daily asking for 15% trades at the other servers I merch in.

Yup same sorta stuff happens in Broa. And yup that was the new plan, hopefully it pans out. thanks for all your input!
