Regarding cubing, pros please reply

Give me the low-down, cubing pros. I'm not out to spend 100's of dollars. I've seen some videos where people have like 200 cubes ready to use. Eff that.

What I'm mostly wondering is what are the best cubes out there to use? Should I buy the package(s), or one at a time? Given your PERSONAL experiences, how many cubes do you use to get a decent pot (this does NOT mean crazy, legendary 21% allstat and crap. I mean a DECENT pot, not a CRAZY pot)?

If there are other tips/tricks to watch out for - other than miracle times, already know about those - please fill me in, please and thank you.

Your "don't spend money on Nexon" comments are unoriginal and unappreciated. I can do whatever I please with my money.

Thank you all ahead of time!

@PikeBishop I said "rest of you" because in my previous sentence I mentioned "90% of Maplers", which was obviously just a statistic I pulled from my butt. I'm a writer, and both were used purely rhetorically to express my point I was making to the person I directly quoted.

Again, I didn't mean to preach to anyone and I'm sorry if you felt that way.

Just use Potential Locks when they're in cashshop.

It's definitely the easiest way to get 12-21% stat on unique.

Basically all you do is use a guardian scroll + unique potential scroll, pick up a 35k pot lock package (11 pot locks, 35 reg cubes) Just cube until you get 9% stat on the first line, or 6% on the second or third. Then lock that line until you get something thats higher than 6%.

@TheTot: You were speaking as though you were speaking to everyone.

The ToS doesn't have that anymore. Go ahead, look.

[quote=Thec0w]@TheTot Get your hands on the super cube package while they are still here. I just wasted alot of my nx because I bought the cubes one at a time. From my experience, enlightening cubes has been giving me the best results, and you can also trade in the cube fragments for a 50% awakening stamps in case you get some 2L items.

On another note regarding the attendance event. You are sure correct on the multiple accounts, but. Since you are able to have up to 24 characters on one account, people can farm 24 unique pot scrolls without it being called negative abuse. You are not breaking any law (TOS) by doing so. As someone stated, if nexon wanted they could have limited the unique pot scrolls to 1 per account, but they have not.[/quote]

I have no use for the SOK and should i just wait til miracle time? it's usually 19k for 11 but atleast ill have miracle time.

@PikeBishop: That quote was in a reply to someone telling me to abuse a free event. I wasn't preaching, least of all to you. I specifically said in the OP I didn't want comments like that and I still got it, so I was a little edgy.

I also never meant to imply you aren't supposed to be doing it on multiple characters. Though since you brought it up, you /are/ only supposed to have one account as per the TOS. I wasn't trying to judge others though. I was just saying I don't do that.

Hey, thanks man.

You asked how you could get better potentials. We're telling you the cheapest way without having to use 200 cubes, as you mentioned.

And it's great that you're spending money on what you want to. Just don't preach to us that you're paying our way, because you're not. We're buying Nexon cash, but we're being cash-conscious about it.

Plus, you mentioned that you don't want to spend 200 cubes. That'll happen sooner or later if you don't learn to how to do things cheaper, and if you refuse to take advantage of the events Nexon throws our way. I wonder, do you buy Cash Shop items if they're on sale? Because that's a great way of saving money when buying cubes - also wait for Miracle Times. Packages, as was stated, are good to buy as Nexon often includes extras like Potential Locks.

You could always pay someone a lot of mesos for a Unique Potential Scroll 60% if you don't want to do the attendance event. And just so you know, if Nexon didn't want people doing the attendance event on multiple characters and accounts, they would have put a limit on how many you could have per account and they would have banned the use of multiple accounts.

[quote=TheTot]^ Did you even read what I said? "and only participate in events on one character"; "I do not like farming events"

Thank you for all the tips. Any more are appreciated.[/quote]

In your case, I would say definitely try to take advantage of super cube bundle sales. Depending on all your equips' potentials, you would cube for your main stat and just stop. For example, if you have a unique shoe and you cubed it to 6% dex while your other items don't have %dex, save those shoes for now and cube other items until every item has some % dex. Then if you wish, either aim for legendary or cube until you have higher % dex.

[quote=aljuas]never buy cubes unless its in a package and buy supers until legendary and when its legendary buy platinum cubes to get your best pot[/quote]

I've never in my maple life got legendary with a Super Cube.
Enlightenment Cubes 1-4 Legendary.
Platinum Cubes are a scam..... Just saying.

[quote=TheTot]Unlike 90% of Maplers (it seems), I only have one account and only participate in events on one character. I do not like farming events, nor do I have the time even if I approved of it. I'll buy NX so the rest of you can keep playing your free game.[/quote]

You can do it with every char on your account.
