Cube Crafting, Is it worth it?
Hiya folks, so i've been back for a about two months now but never really got into the new crafting system. I just wanted to ask if crafting cubes was actually worth it if i wanted to cube my unique stuff and don't have NX. According to my data it would be about 60-65m per cube if i were to buy all the materials. To me (being a medium wealthed player currently) it would seem worth it to an extent but i would like the opinion of the public please ^_^
as a side question, i have level 10 smithing, do i need to be lv11 for the master craftsmen cube? and if so, whats the fastest/cheapest was to get there and how long will it take?
Thanks very much folks, hope i can get some light shed on this subject ^_^

They are not nerfed, I got 12% str on my shield, and 9% str on my badge. Using the event cubes, and artisian.
Yes its true!
Me and few on my buddies used 30+ Valentine day cubes, and got just % mp, avoid, defs.
They are nerfed. Nexon isnt idiot to give out free cubes wich egal to the cash shop ones...

I can say this isn't true as for self crafted cubes because one I crafted yesterday gave me 9%STR, 6%STR and 6%Weapon Defence. I got two %STR lines on two equips with event cubes from Valentine's day.
[quote=Exploder]Yes, these cubes are nerfed, also the event cubes.
You cant get multi % stats with them, and the % stat line also very rare...[/quote]

One of the biggest con imo is that your mastery level "decreases" if you don't craft in a few days... so it is a bit enslaving to know you have to never run out of stock of the items to cube or, the items to raise mastery, and none are cheap.
I crafted a Master Cube that gave me Unique 15%STR, not bad for only one cube upgrade/use. It has it's cons and pros, if you have funds to afford the materials I would go for it, if you know you won't have funds at any moment I would wait to decide to lvl it up.

Oh. I didn't know about meister cubes.
never mind then
No, its not worth it. The smithing cubes are terrible compared to red cubes.
[quote=SaviorH]It takes a lot of mesos to level up your smithing, but it eliminates the risk of getting scammed and makes it convenient to get your own cubes.
PROS:
You can craft your own anytime
60-65 is cheaper than an 80 red cube
CONS:
Can only get up to Unique
Requires high smithing level[/quote]
I believe Meister cubes can bring an item up to legendary.
You can make cubed that get to legendary if you are level 12 smiting
