Cubing cryptic

[The_King]

Hey how long do you guys think it would take to cube a Cruel Cryptic sword? and is there a certain level I should be for best results?

[Shpook]

What do you mean How long would it take?

[Tai]

I think he means gathering the resources needed to make one?

[The_King]

I mean how many times would you have to roll the cruel from the cube... like what are the chances?

["CRØNîC-KîLLå"]

nah u would need a good 200-500 chips it all depends and it is pure luck, char lvl has no effect on success rate/ percentage of enhanced dmg...

[The_King]

I have done 200 so far.. nothin yet... so level makes no diff I could cube it with my lvl 1 mule?

Correct, I do all my crafting with a low level barb mule, It took about 300 tries to get a cruel scourge. I mostly roll charms now, got a 7% mf small on about the 30th try and a real nice 100 psn 6% mf small on about the 50th try. I have had very little success with jewels.

It is pure luck dude. Heres a perfect example:

Very first try chipping a mythical sword i got a 233% of quickness. I cubed a conquest used more than 300 chips and never got more than ferocious. Its all luck.

[The_King]

Got a cruel... 261 ed with self repair mod.. keeping it but rolling a new one

[Shpook]

ok, well i never got into the whole chips thing. can someone explain what you can get and the actual recipes or whatever?

[The_King]

you put three chipped in the cube with your sword of choice and pray for cruel...of quickness

damn I must have cubed 1000 chipped today and nothing... I got 2 cruel yesterday for less than half that.. it is pure luck

[Doofus_AW]

You put three perfs of any type with a jewel or charm to re-roll it. You must use a jewel/charm dropped by a high TC class to make it worthwhile.

Can you do charms by putting just 3 charms in and re-rolling it, because someone told me that worked.

Nope only the 3 p gems and a charm.

3 blue rings = 1 ammy
3 blue ammys = 1 blue ring..

And it's the same for jewels?

[Valmar]

3 chipped gems
+ 1 sword (any)
=
Magical sword of the same type with new, random mods and 3 sockets
=
The sword will become magical, with 3 sockets. Cruel is only possible with 6 elite swords, Conquest, Cryptic, Mythical, Champion, Col Sword, Col Blade.

Just in case you decide to try and craft yourself a cruel balrog blade this will save you time on the swords you can get to be cruel with the 3 CGC method of rolling items.

[The_King]

You guys sure your level doesnt matter? I have cubed like 2000 chipped since my last cruel from my lvl 96 using my 87 and havnt got 1 ? I got 2 with less than this

[Adrenachrome]

Only the d2 programmers know or sure. I always use my lvl 99 mules to craft.
