I just got traded a Cubimal Box by the Rube, and I can't decide whether to open it or sell it.
Have you ever got a Cubimal Box from the Rube? What did you do with yours?
What I do? Is go directly to Uralia, find myself a tool vendor, and walk about 4k currents richer.
For me - at this stage of the game - getting more bigger bags and the house I wanted was far more important than collectibles I know I can pick up later when I no longer know what to do with my money.
You can sell it so long as it remains unopened. I got one early on and sold it to the tool vendor in Level 4. I got 4000c (80% of value), which was enough for a starter house. Whoo Hoo!
Go ahead open it Rory, you can still sell it later.
Here's a tip.
Chick
Piggy
Batterfly
Butterfly
Crab
Frog
Firefly
are fairly common. If you get something fab, like the sno cone, you can ask for more than 5000 currants for it. Not saying you'll get a buyer just yet, but there are rarities.
Hell you can sell it to a vendor and get 3500 / 4000 without an issue. Hardly worth messing with. Later in the game those darn Cubimals will be everywhere and everyone will be selling for cheap.
When people ask what to do with cubimal boxes in-game, I ask if they would prefer 4k currants or a pretty but useless item.
Most of us are greedy and go for the money! We are still at the point in the game where we need useful things.
I actually use cubimal boxes to donate, because it is super efficient. One box+FHSP=1k favor, so either a first-emblem or an almost-full favor bar to spend :)
I just sell. I convince myself that they're all butterflies lol
I'd rather have 4k than a cubimal at this point in time. In a month or so, I'll maybe start collecting, but for now it's all about the currants :)
Open them ALL...
I will pay 8k currants for a Rook, Rube, Helga, Yeti
I will pay 6k for Smuggler or Greeterbot
In lieu of currants, I can trade MULTIPLE other cubimals (even some rares) for the ones I'm looking for.
I opened mine and will continue to open mine. It depends on what type of person you are. I'm an explorer and for that I like to explore everything, be it skill tree, land or strange unopened boxes. For a real life example, I collect Vinylmation figures which are exactly like these except Disney.
I always open mine. There are other ways to make money. I'm trying to collect them all (preferably without spending a single currant on them, but we'll see how well that works out). I give my extras away for free.
Bear in mind that there will (probably!) always be cubimals. Although it is SUPER FUN to get them, the odds you will get a rare are fairly low! If you are new and got a cubimal, maybe better to sell it, or donate it with FHSP. Your new inventory, spent wisely, or new house will pay for itself many times over! Soon you will be rolling in cubimals!
I'll prolly open them to see what I get. Currants really aren't that hard to earn, so i might keep the 'cute but useless' cubimals. And maybe even try to think up a game for them, make some notes once i have penpersonship and leave the notes lying around then hope that others pick up my game :D
I've opened all but two of the ones I've gotten. I sold one of the last ones, and I donated my very last one I got.
Fortunately I had no duplicates and got cubimals I'd yet to see (as I did not get too into them just before reset). Frog, Batterfly and Crab. I also got a Piggy but I got one of those before the reset. I don't know what I'll do in the future. I'll probably open some and sell some and donate some, depending on my needs and whether I can suppress the desire to peek inside.
If I do get duplicates, I'll probably hide them for others to find- especially in areas with a lot of newbies around. :) That's what I did with all my duplicate emblems before the reset.
The ones I've opened all sit on my back doorstep at the moment. :)
