Cubing Help

Hello again. I've never really done much cubing, I throw a meister and craftmans cube at my stuff whenever I get one but otherwise never gone all out for it. I've read some guides and what not but with Miracle Time coming up I'd like some help.
1. Should I go repurchase a new clean weapon, secondary and emblem (heart in my case) to cube? Most of my stuffs been just 70%'d then star-forced to 10 cause I'm too cheap to justify spending 10-50m on an upgrade that's probably gonna fail :y (I don't intend on cubing any of my other equipment for now, the main 3 are my goals..)
2. From what I've learned it's best to use Red Cubes till Unique then Black if you want Legendary..?
3. What are some other things I'll need to have ready assuming my gear is 100% clean and doesn't have potential? (stamps n stuff??)
4. Aim for %Boss/Att/PDR on Main, %Boss/Att on Secondary and %Att on Emblem?
5. Assuming I hold off on Starforcing and Scrolling equips will it affect my damage significantly, or will the new potentials completely outshine the previously scrolled stuff?
6. As someone with relatively low to medium fundings if I get a pretty good piece of equipment should I outright sell it or keep it?

Ok thanks, went ahead and put some 3 POT/BPOTs on all the stuff. RIP Reboot coins and a couple mil lol

@volpi: IMO: Wep, Secondary, Emblem is a must for bpoting during DMT. Having double legendary on those 3 items can increase range significantly as its atk%, Boss%, and PDR% that comes only from those item. (Emblem does not give boss)

Is it worth getting into Bonus Potential at this point as well? Or should I stick with just the main potential for now then move down the Bonus later? Or will i get better results from Bonus Potting my main wep than having a pot on my sub and emblem?
@zephyiris: thanks c:

@volpi: When cubing the tiers can only go up. Never down.

Sorry a big question I forgot (thanks for the help so far <3), when you're cubing, will your potential REVERT down from Unique or Legendary or whatever like the Inner Abilitys do? Or will it stay at it's current until it upgrades higher?

well i wouldnt concentrate on stats just tiering up to legendary, if u are the kind of person that buys already made equips then if u wanna sell ur cubed stuff go on, but if u like making equips urself then dont, u can either trade for ur stat (if its common equip, which is not ur case) or keep on cubing.
if u have clean equips then i would cube them and dont equip them until u finish scrolling, u may keep ur equips u have now on and prepare the rest for when u have more funds.
and black cubes all the way.

1)Um I'm not sure if I'm right on this one you can always just innocence scroll your items it resets the item's stats.
2)Black cubes in general to do quick tier ups. Red cubes should be used for after hitting legendary to get better potential. But if you wanna cheap out then go red cube to tier up.
3)Of course thew new equipment itself. To make a quick start you can either purchase a Epic potential scroll and hope that it'll go through. BUT that's mesos we're talking here. So best way to get free scrolls is to farm up either 120 or 130 reboot coins. You can get 3 Epic poten scrolls 50% for either 120 or 130 Reboot coin ea. And yes you will be needing stamps to add in that extra line that you're missing when you potential your item.
4)Yup
5)Uh I'm honestly not sure on this part. I think if you get some good potential line it should be better than your 70% scrolled items. But I've seen videos where people did their potential first then went and scrolled.
6)Honestly keep your item if it turns out to be good. use it for yourself until you know that you can start doing End game bosses like Hell-Gollux, CRA, Magnus, ETC. Make money off those bosses.
