Black vs Red Cubes

[emailbox]

My friend insists that Black Cubes give a higher chance to raise potential rank than the Red ones, can anyone confirm/deny this? Going to be cubing up a good chunk of stuff to Legendary (or go broke trying) in a while, and if Red cubes are significantly worse at raising rank than Legendary then I'll probably just go with Black cubes (Black fragments give better stuff anyway).

I think if you look through the last few pages of the reveealed potention thread:
http://www.southperry.net/showthread...29464&page=185
you will see most people are using black cubes most of the time.
The only time to use reds would be if you were already at legendary and were looking for the first good line.

If you can afford it, go black, you will never go back.

I've had friends get two items to legendary in under 11 red cubes (from unique), while I personally have used over ~175 red cubes on an epic item without it going unique.

Black is better, in pretty much any situation. Only time to use red cubes would be on a legendary item with no good stats.

Personally, used 90 red cubes, no upgrade at all . 130 Black cubes, gave me 2 legends and 6 uniques.

... I've never seen anything like that... Was anyone else LIVID when he passed over so many 15/18% LUK's? pineapple.

Why would you buy that many red cubes when you have black cubes unless you really wanted to test their effectiveness?

I think he was just testing their effectiveness. He spent 1mil NX on Black Cubes too and just uploaded that:

I can't be the only one that's angry he's holding down enter and clicking when his item is ALREADY legendary. He cubes over SO many good stats. This is a huge waste of nx. And we wonder why nexon's attitude doesn't change.

Guess I'll stick to Black cubes, then. Thanks for the responses.

Can someone explain to me the point of that video? I don't see much point in it.

Guh. No wonder my red cubes did absolutely plantain all for me.

If you meant my video, just meant to show how lucky (and unlucky) people can get.

If you meant the other two videos... IDK. Why would someone cube over 21% stat is beyond me.

to get higher stats obviously.
when you're rich enough to spend so much, i don't see why he would settle for 21% or lesser

I need MountLag's GIF of being made of money.

If these videos have taught me anything it is that the cubing system is still a huge scam where potentials are riddled with pomegranatety lines and the RNG is a dirty peach

Nah, it's just the effect of him spamming through every single cube. He switches maps/channels a bit, but spamming cubes is the absolute worst way to get good results.

Would you CC every 10 cubes or something, then?

I gauge the seeds of the location. If i get % stuff, i stay, if i get too much crap then i move. Usually less than 5-8. You have to give time for the seeds that influence your lines/upgrade chance to change or else neither will your luck.
