Red or Black Cubes For Tier Increase

So if I were cubing for legendary, is the near double (19,800 versus 10,800 NX) price tag for a 12 pack of black cubes versus red cubes justified by black cube's superiority in raising tier? I don't care about cubing for primary lines/endgame pot or "safe cubing" at the moment, which black cubes are normally used for, I simply want to know which cube is better for cubing from unique to legendary for their price tag. Thank you for answering!

@NotMyGear: I just checked, it was 6% mp which is useless anyway imo

[quote=sealzkool]I used 6 red cubes and got from rare to unique, srs and then used 2 black cubes that gave me 9% luk and 6% dex and useless accuracy line. so it looks like red cubes are way way way better (this wasn't during miracle time btw)[/quote]

how the hell did you get accuracy line...?

I don't know if it was just me, but cubes from the red shop where really awful when they were first released. Wasted like 50 and didn't go past epic, but I used some more after new years and I got to unique in 5 cubes, in 2 weapons, so there's that.

I got my SW hat to unique from epic in 3 red cubes and my Gollux belt to unique from epic in 4 cubes. Then after that i used about 50 cubes no tier rises on any equip. Not too sure about rates but for me these Red cubes are much better than the cubes of old

How would anyone of us know this?

[quote=GunPowder]People claim they've been experiencing a better tier raise chance with the black cubes, but it could all just be luck.
All I know is, I've used over 150 RED cubes, and only got one item from Epic to Uniqe </3[/quote]

I have also used well over 100 cubes of both black and red, only gained 1 tier on the 4 separate gears i tried to cube. I swear these are worse

I find that all my equips from when the cubes were newly released all legendaries were ranked up with blacks

red cubes have the same chance as black cubes. The only cube atm that have a higher chance than both is the meister cube.

I thought Black Cubes were for when you had a good pot and wanted to get something better from there? o_o
Never knew Black Cubes had a higher chance of raising pot ranks. ._.
