Cube advice from maplers
I'm buying 50k nx tomorrow, and wanna spend some on cubes. I have never cubed before and need help. Which of the following items should I cube first?
Fafnir spear epic 6% att
Tyrant hyades cape clean
Maple emblem
Adventurer badge
Superior gollux ring/belt/earring/pendant
Thanks for reading guys!
Any extra tips are helpful! Is miracle time worth waiting for?

@lazypando Yes, But now cubing itself is easier than before, at least from majority of my experiences and other people that I know.
Aw I wish I knew they were on sale maybe I'll spend some nx on gachapon since the rates are getting increased
@FlamyHeavens: If we ever get another miracle time in EMS i'll make sure to complain as hard as I can then!
@FreeIcecream: Yeah it was quite a surprise when I read it It was quite out of the blue but there's always a chance that Max left it out of his blog! I think the changes to the cubes was a response to the huge amounts of negative feedback from the last Miracle time
@FlamyHeavens: Ah thanks!
It doesn't say anything about cube or potential stuff, so afraid we won't get it in EMS.

This is in GMS so I'm unsure that EMS received the same treatment[/quote]
I know, but just wondering. Who knows what Nexon could do
You remember what content you gained in that particular patch?
Just save your money and wait for the next miracle time. Cubes are always on sale again during miracle time. Although it will be awhile til the next one since we had it a couple weeks ago. During the last miracle time with the new increased rates, tiering up/getting to legendary was a lot easier with black cubes. Definitely cube your weapons first with black cubes! Red cubes suck

My recommendation? Wait for a unique potential event. Using cubes on something that's not at least unique is a waste of a cube in my opinion.
i really wouldn't spend nx on cubes after today since the cubes sales end at midnight (you'll be paying 20% more than the sale prices)
also, keep your expectations low. cubing is hard :<
in my experience, unique to legend will take around 25-30 black cubes (that's about 50k nx right there)
[quote=NeoBowmaster]I would take @boy3005's advice and epic pot the item(s) before cubing them.
Also @ShiraokaJinja they increased the tier up rate for cubes significantly in may.[/quote]
but that was after they nerfed the rates with the new cubes
red/black cubes were pretty terrible at getting to legend before the increased rates
If you can, you should get the 50k nx right now. There's a cube sale right now, and it's going to end in less than 1h 30mins (11:59 pm pst,2:59 am est, 6:50 basiltime).
As for cubing you should go weap > 2ndary weap > emblem > everything else

get all your lucky charms irl and then cube
The belt is reared so is the badge. Rest have no potential
spear then emblem
Or you could buy 50k worth of NX and be the next Top Henehoe
OT: Potential Stats on the other items? Are they clean?
its ur money. $50 o.O
Just don't, I lost 55b on two consecutive failed cubing runs last February
