Miracle Time - All Cubes Now Count

Apparently, from now on all cubes will have an improved rate to upgrade your potential's tier during [URL=http://maplestory.nexon.net/guides/game-play/quests/00HfA]Miracle Time[/URL].

That includes Meister and Craftman's cubes!

I might be a tad optimistic, but I'm expecting a Miracle Time before RED ends

[quote=OmgItsMazz]@GunPowder: no screenshot/video to prove it though unfortunately, but a couple people have told me it can work that way. I used ~100 bonus pot cubes during miracle time a while back and didn't get any double rank ups personally, but hopefully that isn't because it's impossible, but rather just because it's very rare :X[/quote]

[quote=OmgItsMazz]@Gomrathz: yeah the lack of super carved slot cube being shown in the notice worries me a little, but if they have it set to 'any' cube then i think it'll work for bonus potential anyway, i hope so at least :X[/quote]

Although, someone in your thread claims he got a double bonus pot tier raise during Miracle Time

[quote=OmgItsMazz]Itching to use my bonus pot cubes ;___; I'm glad they updated the notice at least, should be pretty soon now![/quote]

o bro i know your feeling to good ;( i seen you posting on nexon forum to confirm but ofc they never give an answer on that!

message still says; The chance that any Cube increases your equipment's Potential Tier is significantly higher than usual.

but inbefore they dont count bonus in since that has nothing to do with regalar potential. Still i got my thoughts when reading the word "any" because they show pics of all cubes BUT bonus </3... so inbefore it is a lie! we go wait and hopefully see it together before they expire (12th april my bonus cubes expire) so then there been atleast 90 days between last miracle time/bonus cube sale >.<

Cubes are decently frequent from mining or harvesting legendary veins. In that one tynerum lagg maze I found 2 legendary veins in a row and first 1 had 1 mc cube and 2nd one had 2 mc cube so its more frequent to drop from legendary things?

Nope.
But a lot of other things usually do so you spend all your NX and then BAM sudden miracle time appears out of nowhere.

If you're talking about what they mentioned in the AMA thread, then I agree.
I'd be pissed if they change them right after Miracle Time, or if they change the rates without announcing...

@bowcreaters: I think the average Mapler can kill normal RA bosses, which have a high drop rate of Craftman's cubes. I get an average of 1~2 cubes a day just from RA.
Getting crafting materials is also relatively easy if you do Commerci runs on a daily basis.

It's true Occult cubes no longer drop, but honestly, they were crap for rank ups and they had high chance to lower the pot's tier.

[quote=GunPowder]Well, they're trying to balance the game a bit. It's a good move, IMO.
Also, I tend to believe we'll have a Miracle Time before RED ends, since the RED store hasn't been restocked for a while and there are no ways to get RED coins, other than the Mesoranger event. If people really wanted to get Meister / Craftman's cubes, they'd just craft them.[/quote]

They did say they will try to balance the game a bit, but instead they removed all Occult Cubes which were the easiest to obtain for the common maplers that could just kill zakum or hilla, and installed master craftmans/meister cubes that drop way less frequently and untradable (which makes it so that the regular maplers cannot get richer trying to sell cubes). As of now, crafting is still impossible for the average mapler, from the cost of obtaining all the cubic blades, effort needed to get to level 11 smithing, etc.

Now if they do make a miracle time, they would most likely do it after people have made all their items unique, so then they will try and get it legendary. From the attendance events, the last unique pot event ends on the 23rd, so my best guess is still 3/29. It would be rather awkward for someone to be cubing from Epic to Unique during the attendance event, because there would be less incentive to cube during miracle time if the scroll is out.

[quote=bowcreaters]If you were Nexon, wouldn't you want people to actually buy the Red and Black cubes from the cash shop, instead of using the Master Craftsman and Meister cubes during miracle time?

I'm thinking they will wait till all the red shop cubes expire, and then host a miracle time. Red shop cubes are purchasable until 3/18. Cubes last for 10 days, so all cubes expire by 3/28. Isn't that Saturday, 3/29, a perfect day for miracle time?[/quote]

[quote=Rudekanna]Off topic but how do you make 2L equips into 3L since I've noticed premium miracle cubes are gone.[/quote]

If you have RED coins left, you can buy an awakening stamp from the RED store for 45 coins. Other than that, if you trade in 20 RED Cube fragments / 15 Black Cube fragments you get a 100% awakening stamp for free.
