Cubing order

Can somebody tell me the cubing order for items?

ie
Weapon -> Secondary -> Emblem -> accessories -> etc.
I guess really, it seems like the only real question is about whether to cube secondary/emblem/badge before accessories and armor

@tianbozpear: since miracle time was introduced, they always seem to have it around the same times every year: one in march, one in may, one in june, and i think one in one of the fall months (november, afaik?). my months might be off, but it's been a pretty reliable pattern for the past couple years.

Personally I'd do secondary, emblem THEN weapon, cause there's always a chance you'll upgrade to another wep unless you got your absolute perfect endgame weapon.

Im doing Weapon > Secondary > Emblem > highest lvl item to lowest lvl item starting from whatevers highest tier. Because Im still working on getting my gloves let alone cubing them @__@ and because Ive already equipped my gollux stuff so no point in cubing those first incase of sale (unless i get like 30% luk or something im probably not psoking to sell)

[quote=litaozhao]don't worry about it. just keep cubing till you're legendary tier; little changes in range right now don't matter in the long run, and i'm sure it doesn't stop you from doing anything you were doing before.

alternatively wait till miracle time in may![/quote]

[quote=litaozhao]you got most of it right the first time

weapon -> secondary -> emblem (pot then bonus pot before you move onto the next thing)
glove because si/se
tradeable all-class things such as gollux accessories/shoulders because if you cube great stats not for your class you can make some cash
sw equips because tier
everything else in no particular order[/quote]

Generally right, a little more specifically.

1. Weapon potentials (Shields/Secondaries/Emblems/Weapons)

Within weapon potentials, you cube the item that gains highest relative resale value first. For most classes this means their emblem is last, because emblems are untradable. For classes like Xenons with untradable secondaries and tradable emblems, this means emblem before secondary.

Certain classes are unable to obtain third tier emblems, that naturally lowers the priority on the Emblem.

You generally start bonus potential after getting a decent unique/leg potential.

2. Armor potentials that can be used by all classes: Gollux+SW

Since the Gollux/SW market is currently way oversaturated, you should prefer to buy Gollux/SW rather than cube. Other people have already done your cubing for you, you just need to find someone selling your stat.

3. Armor potentials that can be used by specific classes: Tyrants+CRA

4. Armor potentials that can only be used by you: Heart, Badge, etc
