1. does it make it more likely for you to get HB on pants with 3 lines than 2 lines? 2. there's a bunch of adv potential scrolls for 22mil ea, can I make money by buying>selling them?

i dont think it matters what lines u have for the rate of HB pants, and i dont think ull get a profit from 22m adv potiential.

They just add potential. Advanced pot scrolls have a higher success rate than just the regular pot scroll I don't really think it adds to your chances of getting hb pants You can def merch of pot scrolls just make sure you buy them underpriced xD they're in high demand as of now and will probably be for a long time

21.5m is under priced right? o.o Just saw a bunch for like 24m, so I'm gonna sell the 3 I just bought for 23.5m, 6m profit :D And by the way, does 2 line pot make the item less useful than unpot? because there's a 60m targ helm 17/15/16/15 and 2 lines crappy pot, should I buy it? If it's not a really good deal, I'll just get the scar dex helm

Usually people don't like the 2-line potentials as much as three line, for obvious reasons. I would wager that 2-line potential is better than no potential.

In my experience with potential and cubing, it takes less cubes to get the stat you want with 2 lines versus 3 lines.

[quote] chiualbert : niksterg Really? o.o then why is it so cheap? o.o [/quote] I don't quite understand what you're asking. 3-line is almost always more expensive than 2-line, due to the fact that you get the benefit of one more bonus stat. Even if that stat is worthless, it still means someone could cube it and get three good stats. A 2-line will always have a maximum of 2 stats. Through similar logic, I would guess that items with 2-line potential are worth more than items with no potential at all, since you're getting 2 extra bonus stats that would otherwise not be there. So, comparatively speaking, 2-line potential items are more expensive than regular items, and 3-line potential is even more expensive than that. Remember that this is just in general; if you get a 2-line potential pants with hyper body, for example, those will be worth more than a 3-line pants with DEX +20 or something like that.
