What is potential?

hi, i've returned to maplestory after 6 months. I see that nexon has made some changes to weapons/scroll called "potential". I've seen many basilers talk about their items potential and i honestly have no clue as to what that is. if someone could so kind as to fill me in then please do. also how do i activate or scroll using this potential?

~Thanks

oh boy, potential can be extra stats to every item, you can only use potential scrolls on items with slots (can be scrolled) and there can be 2 lines of potential (2 different stats) or 3 Lines (3 different stats). These stats include % stats and even damage, The higher level the equip the better potential. Level 71-120 equips have the same potential tier. 121+ has another tier. In the cash shop you can CUBE an item which resets the potential to randomize it to get better stats. You cannot get a 2 lined item to 3 lines by cubing. It is forever the lines it has. items go from Rare->Epic->Unique with the more cubes used. it is a random amount and the higher (rare, epic, unique) it is, the better potential it can have. Hope that helped. lemme know if I missed something.
