Cubing and the pot stats

Okay so I have this 3 line thief top with horrible pot and I decided to cube it. I haven't cubed in a long time. Not since they were first released. I told myself not to cube but I was like oh whatever this top has crappy lines. As I was cubing I noticed there was junk I have never seen before until now. Not only that I never once got % luk and rarely got % stat at all. I kept getting this invincibilty after hit pot (double lined almost 80% of the time) and ignore 17 magic dmg at 20% at a pretty high rate (there was some other stuff I didn't add but I don't remember either it was junk lines afterall). Now since I cubed back in the day I have never been so screwed over like this. It seems that nexon added junk potential lines on purpose and has a high occurence rate. I seriously thought they couldn't make me more disgusted in their quest for money but their greed keeps reaching new heights. I just quit cubing altogether and left that unique thief top with junk lines because I don't want to support/waste more cash on this game and company. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing cubing at it's worse.

[quote=FireBoy67]Actually I believe they added them at ascension right when the pot glitch occurred. So no OP, you aren't just experiencing things they really did add more crap lines that apparently aren't even in any other versions AFAIK. If you played the game around that time, and hunted equips you could still be experiencing that.

Wow thank you. Yeah I got a lot of those crappy lines mentioned. Bleh I'm glad I saw this although I wish I saw it beforehand. Thanks for showing me though. I guess nexon just quit trying to care about their customers and decided to milk them before this game goes downhill.

Edit: It's part of your quote for some reason after the .[/quote]. Hopefully it fixes with the edit. Apparently not.

Congrats. I was some what upset but I'm not really too surprised. I should have expected it but I was being optimistic about what may happen. That top didn't have great stats to begin with but now they are even worse.

Er extremely? I got that on multiple items back then. It's not lucky there is a difference if you had noticed. Also not even getting my stat once or any % stat at all is ridiculous on a 3 l unique item.

Cubing rate is the same, you just got extremely lucky since on average you need at least 70 normal cubes to go from rare to unique.

[quote=xluats]Um pretty sure that's normal, how many cubes did you use?[/quote]

15? It was left over NX after buying perm pet equips. However, back then I used 22 cubes to get rare-unique and 12% luk. A significant difference from then and now. I would have rather converted that NX into mesos or used it for something else but hey I thought the cubing rate was the same as before. It is by far much different than I remember it.

at least you've yet to experience getting the SAME crap pot stats back to back to back , or better yet 21% hp, my biggest face palm moment ever.
