Cubing troubles?

To be honest, it is usually not worth to cube things (only if the item you have is quite rare like a 12+ atk Belt or 70 CHTP or so). I made a lot of experineces from cubing, well not as much as Tony (fleyx) but i had the same issues like you.
In total i used over 1600 cubes so far on my gear. It took 180 Cubes on my bow just turn from rare--> epic and then 20 more to unique
But it only took 5 cubes to make my Nose Unique. Now im testing something. If there is no significant change in the status of an item is stopp cubing after a package of 11 cubes. Actually im scrolling SMGs and cubing em. First 11 Cubes were real crap. alot of %avoid, %mdef % wdef and so on. I started to cube again on the next day, i also bought 11 cubes. SMG turned out EPIC after 3 cubes and 6% dex after 11 cubes. I stopped again for now ( well out of nx for moment, need to merchant first). The mainpoint why im doing it it in this way, i want to see if i can safe cubes in the long run instead of using 100 cubes in a rush with similar results. Its just a thought.

So instead of doing mass cubings at once, spread it out over days? I might try this next time I cube something since I've been having horrid luck recently.
I had a shoe I was cubing before my CZak and after about 90 cubes it remained Epic, so I just sold it to cut my losses.
