DinosaurFood Wrote:i didnt really keep track...
but i've used about 260-270 super cubes so far and the results are:
gloves rare->legendary w/ 15%dex decent SI (warrior gloves Q_Q)
nose unique->legendary w/ 19% str
belt unique->legendary 21%str
hat unique->legendary adv bless
VSS unique->legendary haste+CO
wep unique->legendary 70%boss 9% dmg
I would say an average of like 10-20 cubes for unique->legendary
What i've noticed is that its noticeably easier to upgrade tiers w/ super cubes...but its noticeably more difficult to get the combination of %s u want. e.g. about 60-70 cubes on my LEGENDARY belt and I didn't even get a single 15%+.
I think its a misconception that many ppl believe that 21% items would drastically go down as they'd be "crap" after legendary release...clearly 21%s are still extremely rare, although to some extent easier to get. Question is, does that "somewhat easier" save you more $? B/c super cubes are quite a bit more expensive then reg cubes.
Thanks man this makes me breathe a sigh of relief after hearing all those stories of 150+ legendary cubes on one item and not legendary. Only item I want legendary for now is my weapon, I'll wait later for prices to hopefully fall to buy legendary items

44 cubes so far on my unique top and it's still unique 
It's at 12% luk right now though, so I think I'll move on to something else, probably my dagger.

Well my top was already 3L unique with crap stats so I decided to go for it.
Weapon's rare since I just sold my VIP and bought a 140 dagger(and a 166 katara, which I promptly boomed with a 90% pot  )

I've used around 1200 Super Cubes used for the following:
Top:
Overall:
Bottom:
Shoes:
Pendant:
Ring:
Sword:
Axe:
Both of the stats on my weapons were obtained in under 50 cubes once legendary (Axe took 4 and sword took less than 50). To get to Legendary, both weapons took around 50 cubes. Other items, however, seem to be much tougher to get good stats on. My top took 4 cubes to go Legendary but it's eaten over 500 cubes since and nothing to show for it except 3x 27% INT, 1x 30% INT, 1x 27% LUK and 1x 33% DEX. The bottoms went much better. Though it took around 90-100 cubes to go Legendary, I got 27% STR on them in under 100 cubes. A friend who cubed a similar amount of NX told me that top and bottom were the rarest to get high stats on and he settled for 21% stat on both. Overall went Legendary in around 30 or so cubes and I threw around 10-ish at it afterwards and nothing significant. The shoes went Legendary in around 20-30 cubes and I've thrown around 50 or so at it with no luck. Pendant I'm pretty sure I got lucky on. Around 20-30 cubes also to go Legendary and went 30% STR in around 70-80 cubes. Ring took around 20 cubes to go Legendary and landed 12% LUK in about 100. Decided to keep it in case my friend cubed a 12%+ STR to trade with me.
In summary, I'd say expect to dish out 30 cubes on average to get your item to Legendary. Once it's legendary, the lines give more % Stats but there's also tons of new lines of crap making it very difficult to get anything worth keeping (as expected of Nexon). I would definitely reccomend cubing a weapon to Legendary as I've said in my earlier post but I wouldn't reccomend cubing armors to Legendary unless the %stat on it is crap or you have the funds to pay for it all. It can get very expensive very quickly (especially if you're cubing top/bottom/overall from what I hear and based on my own experience with my Top). In terms of actually getting useful stats, it seems to be pretty rare. Aside from what I listed for my top, I've gotten 27% LUK on my bottoms and 27% INT on pendant and shoes as well as 12% INT on my ring. I guess % INT loves me or something. Haven't tested cubing an item Rare/Epic to Legendary yet so I don't have any testimonial for them.

Decided to use about 14 cubes (Obtained from alt accounts) on my clean Empress Glove.
Rare -> Epic on 1st
Epic -> Unique on 8th
Decent SE on 14th.
Unsure if I want to keep cubing or just give my glove to my DSlayer and go from there...
Unfortunately the 2nd and 3rd lines are crap. X% to Ignore Y damage and +6% MaxHP.
EDIT: Nevermind. My 2nd "50% Scroll" account had 5k NX Prepaid, so I was able to gift a PSOK to my Demon Slayer. Now I just need to get to 140 for Decent SE and continue the cubing!

Thank you for this very informative.
I dont want to even begin to think how much NX those godly KMS players spent on their items.

Wow. If you want to lose all your money fast, these cubes are the best way to do it. Used over 100 and only got 1 item to legendary.

So. Given multiple useful lines are a problem for legendary gear.
Which is better, given that your gear's already 9% primary stat:
Reg. cube unique to 12%+ str (I'd guess 15% is not much less likely than 12% but 18% and up is way less likely)
P. cube unique to legendary, then 12% str (or stop with unique 12%+ str if that happens).
Currently most of my gear's epic 6% str, just thinking of the future.

i'd say the bolded one, i'm wondering though if it would be better to NOT look for legend on certain equips.

Word of advice: if you do use the super miracle cubes, focus on ONE item at a time...I made the mistake of dividing up 33 cubes on 4 different pieces of gear...none of them went legendary and I wound up being out 14% dex from my gear bc of it.

Man.. I'm def. glad I'm done with MS. I knew I had to get out before these Super Cubes and Legendary came out, or I'd start upgrading again haha.
Props to everyone upgrading, and good luck!

This advice should always be followed. Why divide up your cubes over multiple items? You have a better chance of getting the desired stats/tier on 1 item than 4.
