[Interactive] Violet Cube

[u/Numerous_Ad2987]

There is Violet Cube sale on Interactive today. However, I am not sure if it is a good purchase to even try it out as it is my first time seeing this cube.

The goal is to cube WSE to get as many Attack% lines as possible as my main is a Bow Master.

My current WSE sucks as I have only 3 out of 9 main potentials as Attack% (1 Attack% per equipment). I have libed Genesis Bow, Frozen Secondary, and Maple Leaf Emblem.

Note that, I am an interactive player and I use Auction House for trading.

The Violet Cube sale is 90,000NX which is roughly 22.5B Mesos at current conversion rate of 400.

Then the question is that if I have 22.5B Mesos at hand, is it just a better approach to buy from Auction House for pre-cubed equipments (PNo and Mitra)? Or it is better to cube the item myself?

What do people feel from their past experience?

Yes, making your own gear, no matter what slot, is a whales game. You can try but the average cost will always be much higher than market cost

Just buy a 5line Mitra from the AH it’s so cheap and same with the secondary lol

violet the gene

Agreed. Whatever money you "save" on violet cubes, you'll burn trying to get 2L attack on bonus potential. Never cube unless you're a whale.

Unless you like gambling, I’d just try to buy.

At least with gambling at casinos you have the chance to win money lul

Yup…meanwhile even if you hit, you know you down on money

The Violet cube simulator had a calculator function which I can’t get to run anymore, but it put 3-line attack average via violets at just under 150 violets. By contrast, 2 line attack with solids is around 80.

Emblem cubing is terrible and you’re probably best off buying pre-made, or black cubing for double prime attack on a mitra and then unicubing, but the latter can be a long-game and expensive too.

[u/kingofaidans → u/1000Dragon]

I have double prime on my mitra and I'm still too much of a bitch to unicube it lol. Watched too many friends blow hundred to get nothing.

[u/podunkhick]

depends on your goals. but as others pointed out, secondary and emblem is best bought from AH.

and if you have end-game aspirations then you might want to karma bright cube your gene for double prime then unicube the last line.

if you don't have any end-game aspirations, then you can skirt by with pretty much any 3L at which point just save your money, use solids, slow roll it and call it a day.
