Percentiles describe success probability, not guaranteed limits. Tier-up and target rolls are separate stages; a matching roll on the tier-up cube is not credited. An already-met target needs no cubes.

Use their own supported tiers and archived tables; they are not interchangeable labels for the same probability.
MathBro comparison
Use identical inputs and table assumptions. Full-chain percentiles differ from summing separate stage percentiles.

Plan your next upgrade
Target planning
Budget for Cooldown reduction ≥4 sec on hat with Glowing Cubes rather than assuming any useful roll is the desired outcome.
Cube choice
Hold tier and target constant, then compare cube price, target chance and success budgets.
Tier-up planning
Set a lower current tier to include the tier-up chain. Compare the combined budget rather than adding stage percentiles.
Glowing Cube Cost for 4 Sec Cooldown Hat FAQ
What does Cooldown reduction ≥4 sec on hat with Glowing Cubes calculate?
This starts from the saved Legendary regular Potential target: Cooldown reduction ≥4 sec on hat with Glowing Cubes. The tool shows the expected cube count and integer success budgets; changing the inputs creates a different scenario.
Are these official GMS potential rates?
No. Regular Potential uses the archived KMS-based line tables dated 2023-11-14. Tier-up rates come from the captured community tables; GMS rates may differ. Match your source before spending.
Why is the 95% budget higher than the average?
The average describes repeated sessions, not a safe limit for one session. A 95% budget aims for success in 95 of 100 modeled sessions; the other five may still fail.
Can I change this saved target?
Yes. Cooldown reduction ≥4 sec is the starting target, not a locked result. Change the equipment or target in the form; Reset inputs restores this preset.
What is the difference between Glowing and Bright Cubes?
They have different prices, tier-up rates and line distributions. Bright also lets you keep the previous Potential in game; this tool budgets for reaching the selected target, not the value of every discarded roll.
Does this include Bonus Potential?
No. These are regular Potential budgets. Bonus Potential needs its own rates and prices and should not use this result.
How do reveal fees change the result?
When enabled, the equipment-level reveal fee is added to the editable cube price for every modeled cube. Turning it off changes mesos, not the target probability.
How should I check Cooldown reduction ≥4 sec against MathBro?
Match cube, slot, equipment level, current tier, desired tier, stat target, DMT and prices. This calculator uses full-chain success budgets when tier-ups are included; adding individual stage percentiles is a different calculation.
How do cooldown lines combine?
The saved hat target sums cooldown-reduction seconds across the three modeled lines. A 4-second goal is not the same event as simply rolling any cooldown line.
