Looking for some hardcore cubers for some input
I know that the rates of tiering up have been increased, but as of now it has been nerfed if I remember correctly..So, how good is it now anyways? Should I wait for the next miracle time or just spend my 25knx and get some red cubes. I'm mostly trying to turn my epic equips into unique..

I used 7 packs of black cubes and couldn't get my greed pendant from Unique to Legendary. I buy a pack of red cubes and on the 3rd cube it turns legendary
It's still very high. I often tier up to legendary in one pack of black cubes
Green cubes feel about the same~
Took me 2 Black cubes to get one Epic to Legendary, Took me 10 Black cubes to get from Epic to Legendary for a different one. Overall I think the tier up rates increase.
Red cubes, I'm not too sure as I never use them for tier up.
The rates of cubing were upped, but they have not been nerfed. I don't know who told you that, but from experience, it has not been nerfed back down.
Black cubes have higher tier rate. This is a [url=http://maplestory.nexon.net/community/#%2Fshowthread.php%3F1414859-Black-cube-s-changed-description%26nxid%3D6]short thread[/url]
Basically the higher tier up line has been removed, but @artasi claims 'This line was not removed intentionally, and what the line previously mentioned still holds true (nothing has changed about the functionality). We currently have written this up as a bug and hope to see the text return soon.'
So yea black cubes for higher tier rates. With the recent tier up change of each cube (last dmt I believe) I can't exactly say what the tier up rates of each cubes are. Just black >Red>master and meister is somewhere on that but less than black.
after using over 2mil nx on cubes. i will always use black cubes during miracle only for tier up. and red cube for % on items.
I've had 3 items tier up to legendary in 4 black cubes each and 1 item took 9 black cubes. This is within the last 2 weeks so it seems ok but its all RANDOM anyway. Epic to unique is much easier than Unique to Legendary btw!
I definitely believe black cubes are better when it comes to tiering up than red cubes are. Not saying that I haven't had red cubes tier up to legendary, but I've definitely had much more experience tiering up in general with black cubes than red cubes.
Personally have better experience with blacks to reds. Usually get from rare to leg in one to two sets
I haven't noticed much of a difference.
Side note: I red cube up to unique with keepable stats and black cube for legendary. Besides, all the talk on the maple subreddit is black cubes are easier to tier Unique->Legendary. That matches my own experience, no bias though.
Maybe there's some truth to it if we have an apparent majority? I know some people who aren't sure the increased odds are worth the difference in cost, but personally I'm still leaning in the other direction.
@asianboii59: you're gonna have to google it yourself.. just go on youtube and type it in the search bar
[quote=IHurtzLotz]ya rates got upped a bit.wait till miracle still tho and definite proof of black of having better tier rates..look up misusing's red cube burning 100s and stuck at pot and look up someone using black that goes up in like 10-20 avg[/quote]

Idk no one is stepping up with logic of why its better cause they did change what it used to say by being better

[quote=Catalyst]Typically you still want to use black cubes til unique/leg than use reds to cube for stats[/quote]

Probably bad luck, but my secondary didn't rank up to unique in 33 red cubes
I got my emblem from epic to legendary today with less than 15 cubes, and 3 other epics to unique with about 35 cubes. The rate is definitely still better than it used to be.
i used 5 red cupes got 3 uniques get on my level bruh, sad life i couldnt rank up my rare pot on my emblem

It's decent. I got an epic fafnir claw up to unique in 15 master craftsman cubes.
I think you can expect 2 or so items turning to unique with 22 Red cubes
