Sitting on some cubes

So I've gotten 4 cubes as drops over the past 3 days. 3 Master and 1 Meister. Currently all of my equips that are epic have 3% all stat or better and the rest of my equips are rares. I only have enough money to buy one 50% epic scroll. What do you guys think I should do with the cubes? It feels like I don't have enough to reliably cube over an item to aim for something better and cubing something that's rare doesn't seem like a good idea either. If you want to know any of my equips please just ask!

That is not how Gollux works. You always buy/trade for Gollux, because there's a 3/4 = 75% probability you're going to land the wrong stat for your class. This applies to all common items, most notably Gollux, SW and Meister Shoulders.

The person who suggested that you sell cube service is correct, cubing rare equips, especially at your level, is a waste of money. You're much better off letting someone with a unique equip buy that cube service from you.

@GizzyJones I think he meant to say that you could have save a lot of mesos by getting the reinforced set instead. I know you are preparing your items for your end game playing but reinforced isn't really bad either. You could have sold the superior gollux set for a lot and improve your range with the earned mesos.

@RisingRain: I have sup because I farmed the ring and earring myself, bought the belt cheap, and had enough for the pendant. I also don't like spending money on equips I will later replace and I'm willing to put in the work to make my own better. I will, however, never buy the extra pendant slot so reinforced is a complete waste.

Also, I said 3% or better. My earrings are 9% luk, my belt is 4/4 for scrolls, etc. (8 out of 9 gollux scrolls have worked for me so far)

I'm aware this comes off badly, but it's purely informative.

[quote=GizzyJones]A lot of you seem to be confused. Cubes you get as drops are - not - tradeable. If I could sell them, I would.

Also, this is all for my NL. I have full cRA/Sup Gollux/Tyrant Cape/Top 50 Dojo Gloves/etc.

On that note, both of my scrolls failed on my cape. Is it fine to start enhancing and scroll it for chump change (stats..) later?[/quote]
Why do you have Sup Gollux when you have less than 3% average on each, and Reinforced is so much cheaper (you can buy precubed good epic stats/decent unique stat items, even in Bellonova).
And no, innocence it. With CS at ~50m each, you'll need around 500m to recover one slot. If you innocence it (should be around 250m), you should be able to land 1 or 2/2 slots.
However, if you want, you can ignore it and CS it later, as getting enhancements outweigh any benefits from scrolls. It'll be more expensive to fix later, though.

Sell the cubes, you're not funded enough to cube enough to make a difference. <To me> cubing isn't worth it unless you have enough to ensure a 9% stat roll or higher.

[quote=powerguy121]Cube everything to the same %. So if everything is 3%, try to get your other items 3% or better and move on. This applies to any level. 3%/6%/9%/12%/15%/18%/21%/24%++[/quote]

That just seems so.. unimpressive lol

I would store them in storage and use them when I really need them.
