Miracle Cube question

Hi, I'm having a hard time finding this piece of information which will determine whether I spend my mesos to get Miracle Cubes or scroll a perfect weapon.

From what I seen from the extractions, Miracle Cubes have tiers (or pools) that each level draws from and once you get an item to unique, it can't get the lesser stats that you might have gotten while it was rare... I'm a little skeptical about my interpretation and wanted to make sure this was the case (so if I got an item to unique, I'd only be drawing things that are pretty good like %+ and such and not lame things like w.def +100 etc?).

Also, there is a lot of information going around that premium cubes get you to unique for less. Is there truth to that or is it all just blind luck? How much nx would I need to (on average) gather through mts before feeling confident in cubing something from rare/epic to unique? And finally, would it be worth it to spend those mesos on cubes or scrolling with white scrolls and 10%s on a weapon for now?

Thanks in advance.

yes, an unique item will have the first line be from the "unique" pool while the second (and third if any) will be from the "epic" pool, or, if you are lucky, one or both might be from the "unique" pool, difficult to get two unique lines though let alone three.

and you can still get stuff like accouracy +x%, you'll just get the "unique" value of it (i.e. rare is 3%, unique is 9%)

no iea about the premiums, since there's no way to prove it, could be just dumb luck.

Is it just me, or did he type in a different font.

Also, with cubes, it's pretty much dumb luck.

Takes me 70 cubes on average to get unique, and another 75+ after to get decent stats.

That being said, it's all luck.
Don't have my luck.

took my glaive and sky's 17 and 13 cubes to go from rare, to unique with good potential, took my gloves over 150 just to go epic->unique, this back when i cubed.

btw bryan, if you find a perma black dragon in bello, and have a bil or two to spare, mind buying it for me? i'll pay back ASAP /shamelessplugin

i've been watching your other thread
I have around -1.7b (yes, that's a -) from friends lending me wards (which 6 of them failed, mind you), so I won't be able to buy it if I see it

One question to add to this. If for example, your items first 2 lines are from the 'epic' pool, will cubing it guarantee the first two lines will be drawn from the epic pool? Or does it just guarantee that the first line will be epic. I have some 3l epic earrings I cubed 6 times, got crap I was wondering if I should waste some more cubes and hope for the best, or to try to control myself. I only have like 1b atm, wasted like 400m on the 10k nx for cubing

If you're extremely lucky and know it, cubing is better than buying pre-cubed. If not, buying pre-cubed is generally cheaper.
