Hey guys, I recently scrolled 8 morningstars w/ potential scrolls and 50% 2h scrolls, and here are the best results: (btw 2h means hammered twice, uh is unhammered) 130atk 2h; 2 potentials 115atk uh; 3 potentials My question is, which one should I cube? Obviously I will finish hammering/scrolling the 115atk one when I get enough money, but assuming it comes out 125atk, would it be better to cube the 2 potential one or 3 potential one? How about if the 115atk uh comes out 120atk? I'm asking because I heard somewhere that cubes will not affect the NUMBER of potentials; therefore the 2 potential one will always have 2 potentials, and the 3 potential one will always have 3 potentials. Given that potentials can have a huge effect on damage range (possibly more than a 5-10atk gap?), I don't really know. Thanks. Btw, I also have a 120atk uh one w/ 2 potentials if anyone is interested. And should I just finish hammering/scrolling it and then sell it, or just sell it uh? Because hammers are pretty darn expensive...

i think you can get up to 3 potentials if you keep cubing the 2 potential one im not 100% confident on that thought

How much the extra potential makes up for depends on how much you cube, and what your other equips are. If you did hammer it to 125 atk then it would almost definitely be better. But 10 atk gap is pretty decent. The potentials probably could come out in favour of the 3-potential item with 10 less atk but it would cost a lot of cubes. Personally I don't quite have the funding or time to scroll that many Morningstars I blew up one 119 u/h MS with potential scrolls and I can't afford another potential scroll yet (have a 118 u/h as backup). In time when I get back to playing enough to fund potential, I'm hoping to get it up to 135~ atk with Enhancement and the hammered slots.

I traded my 120 att 6 dex dark nisrock for 16 att and 15 att bwgs instead of getting mesos, but turns out it was the greatest deal ever because then these scrolls come out. My opinion is to cube just one morningstar, w.e has highest attack and w.e you can land potential on. I would also suggest enhancing to make up for lack of secondary stats, but that is up to you and risky. Ive blown up too many items with enhancements and i continue to push my luck even though.

hmmm... the 3 line potential one would be very godly to cube... but its only 115 attk my morningstar is 132 attk with 2 potentials and i cubed it to epic with 6% total damage with like 6 cubes. But my reverse shoes i used like 20 cubes and best i got was 12 str =, so i would go for the 130 attk

So this is where all the morningstars of windia are going xD If the 115atk morningstar came out with tons of % str then its definatly better to have. You might just have to cube both and see

Whoa really? if you only have 2 lines of potential, you can only ever have 2 lines potential? If this is true i will be sad.
