Question on cubing

Hey all, just getting prepared for my first Miracle Time this Saturday and I have a few questions...

Class: Luminous, Level 190, 80-90k Range, 1.3b mesos, Not an experienced equipment enhancer. P/m @Draception or add IGN: Echoration in Scania,
he's running his fm shop at the moment and really needs help with this as well. Thanks!

1st Question:
Let's say I have a piece of equipment with a RARE potential. I cube it, and now it's unique, with some pretty decent lines.
NOW, [b]If I cube it again, can it reset and go down to a LOWER potential tier (e.g epic)?[/b]

2nd Question:
Would you guys recommend that I cube my weapon before selling it to try and give it more worth? Or is this alone good enough, and cubing it could just be a waste of money/time? [url=http://imgur.com/OQ0BNs9]Main Weapon[/url]

3rd Question:
Would you rather buy specs that are already scrolled/cubed? Or buy your own clean ones for cheap, and scroll/cube it yourself?
I'm really conflicted right now about my SweetWahter (censored) Tattoos/Glasses and I really need help trying to decide what's best.
Btw, as you can probably tell, I'm new to the enhancing and cubing business so I'd prefer that you don't go all out with:
"bro plz fafnir 10% pot scroll gj cube 9% epic potential tier - pdr = 1201% pie= emc^2"
....

I really want to make the most of these events and I'll be willing to p2w. So, please give me your cubing suggestions, thanks.

I was just messing around with my honor abilities and these things are concerning me a ton. Thanks in advance.
I really appreciate your comments, this is going to save me a lot of cash. Totally unexpected amount of feedback; you guys are amazing.

@Draception, You're welcome Mr. OP. We'll make it happen.

@Magicman19: So would sweetwahter override (for lack of a better term) the current spec stats? or mix them?

Edit*
Oh, I think anvil literally means to fuse the two items and have the stats of one (only) and appearance of the other.
I'd better get some crappy, real cheap specs to anvil then! Right?

@azim12345: You keep the stats on the one item your using (sweetwhater)

[quote=Magicman19]@azim12345: The anvil will only make it look like that item your anviling it to. For example you have a pair of sweetwhater glasses and you anvil the specs onto them nothing will change except the apperence they will still be sweetwahter glases but when you equip them they will look like specs[/quote]

stats dont transfer?

@Magicman19: ._.
#Currently in need of deciphering

Are you trying to say that, because the sweetwahters glasses are a higher level... uhh okay so confused rn. OKAY
To keep this example real basic..
I have sweetwahter glasses (epic, 4% int) now I anviled (?) it to the Specs.

Now I have specs, with the same exact potential. Correct?

~>What if the specs wasn't clean and had potentials as well? Would it mix?
Random example:
Glasses (w/ unique pot 10% int) Anviled to Specs (w/epic 4% int)

Result: Specs with unique pot, 14% int.

Very basic and kinda hard to understand but hopefully you get what I'm trying to imply.

Because you can scroll a higher tier face accessory

@azim12345:
% Int is necessary, but theres no point in creating level 100 equips that youre gonna replace anyways.
I'd rather cube my fafnir to get % int instead of having 21% int level 100 overalls. It takes time. Its true % int is more useful at lvl 200, but the set itself provides a good attack boost to your range. To have a good range, you need a balance between magic attack (assuming mage) and % int.
I would go for clean fafnir equips since they're just so much cheaper. Although, hearing that it's a mage makes it a little more difficult since clean pants are expensive still.
In short: Yes go for fafnir, it's the best end game set. You might not have immediate boosts to your range compared to %int equips, but you will have items that are worth working on improving.

[quote=itoldyounoob]With the implement of Shielding scrolls in elite boss drops, I'd suggest A LOT of elite boss farming.
If you can gather enough of them, the spell traces have 15% +9 attk "Scrolls" for fafnir weapons. I'd suggest getting a fafnir and scrolling it with those shieldings.
Perfecting a weapon is an important step in funding and it's probably your most valuable asset in the end. It costs a lot, but it returns a great boost in your range.

With the huge decline in the fafnir / cRa equips, your main goal should be obtaining the whole set and then working on the weapon in my opinion. Once you reach a decent range to use (roughly 80-100k) you'll be able to do Commerci and Gollux, which should be able to supplement you with your accessories as well as a source of income.[/quote]

Extremely helpful. Does it have to be fafnir though? And which weapons am I supposed to get?
My cousin strongly recommends that I keep more %int equips since apparently they're more useful compared to Matk. since im nearing 200 soon.
So am I basically supposed to find a whole set of fafnir equips that are clean, or already scrolled?
Ah, this is really great info guys. Thanks

@Rhapyst: How do Fusion Anvils work?
I'm taking a huge guess right now but is it like... Specs anvil Sweetwahter glasses stats= Sweetwahter w/ spec stats?
Btw, this is for @Draception, IGN Echoration, I'll have him add you.

[quote=Exodus203]Here let me jest tell you how you should probably make money.
Go Find some Fafnir items. Top/Bottom for Pirate/Warrior/Thief and cube to get atleast 15% stats in their respective class.
If you have ~500m go buy a fafnir claw and cube that. Demand for these items are high so you're best off cubing those.
Since shade will be out very shortly, i recommend sticking with pirate gear (ie: Fafnir Pirate hat/top/bot and Knuckle)
If you have any questions you can feel free to pm me. [/quote]

"find" meaning buy them?

[quote=gunblade72]That equip will be worth more if you invest in innocence scrolls on it.[/quote]

You mean to say that if it's clean again, it would be worth more?

What doesn't make sense to me is that it gives about 44k range and it's somehow a crappy weapon?
I would think that 44k range is somewhat okay for someone who has less than 200m funding- while other equipment gives me just a couple thousand range.
Plus, whenever I scan fm to find fafnir weapons and etc. that cost 150-300m, they only give me 1-3k more range.
Totally useless. I really want a weapon that will boost my range significantly, but I just don't have the money.
In my case, I'm not someone who has money to somehow buy 9b worth of equips or something (as you can easily tell)
so I don't get what I'm doing wrong really, I worked really hard scrolling that weapon too.

1. No
2. No, it's worthless.
3. Cubed/Enhanced is better unless you have heaps to spend.

EDIT: Honestly, you'd be better off selling the NX you have than to cube those things you have..They're pretty worthless. (Sorry to be blunt)
