Need advice, best way to use cube with given options?

How the situation currently stands: I have a guildie offering 25mil for me to cube his knuckle that has epic pot on it. I have a Master Craftsman cube as well as a Silver Potential Stamp.

I was thinking of stamping my Tempest gear with useless epic pot to possibly get something with epic 3-lines. Then cube that.

Which is better idea? Anything else i should consider?

note: I don't have many uses for money, i have decent gear at the moment, but i have no idea if i'll ever need mesos in the future, so that's a thing.

@lokthar111: belts are the worst to cube. I would go with shoulder pads as they are highly demanded

Thank you very much for taking the time to provide an explanation!

@lokthar111: Shoulders will most likely end up in a stand alone set, I mean RA equips take out 2 Empress, then the Tyrants take out cape and shoes and you're probably left with a replaceable Empress weapon with a 2-set effect, and maybe 3 if you keep the weapon. (Gloves, weapon, shoulder)
I'm thinking very long term, as I find that most valuable.
You must make the decision in the end anyways, and it's only 1 cube after all XD
(Though Nexon is probably going to release something like SUPER Tyrants)

I'd have to say shoulders, I don't think there's much of a difference between Meister and Tempest, other than the 5 attack or something.
Rings are most likely to be replaced in the long term by Gollux and (god knows what) new rings.[/quote]

Hmm, but aren't shoulders usually part of a set? Idk, I'm only speaking from exp of using Empress. I don't actually know shoulder gear that well.
I was thinking rings because they don't interfere with set bonuses, and someone mentioned there's not a lot of rings above level 100.

Any of this makes sense? or do you think i should go for Shoulders anyways? What you said does make a lot of sense.

[quote=lokthar111]Hmm, I have a Tempest Ring already with 2 lines of Epic potential on it already. Any idea how much it would go for just by itself, with lousy potential?

Ring vs Belt vs Shoulders. Which one would be best for cubing?
I mean... everyone and their mothers have rings up to their eyeballs these days, right? Aren't Shoulders and belts rarer?[/quote]

[quote=antycleax]25mill wouldn't be the best. I would suggest you buy a epic tempest ring or pinnacle ring and cube that instead. If you get good stats, resell it. If not just sell the ring.[/quote]

[quote=antycleax]What stats is his knuckle?
I would honestly sell the cube for 150mill than cube it for something else for 25mill.[/quote]

It's probably a moveable only in account cube.
