Cube of Fate Guide

This guide isnt written by me, im just copy+pasting it here for easy access to everybody, first saw it on seppuku (sanctuary) guild forum, but saw it on many other places too, so i dont know the original author (i dont mean to steal any credit here, give me a name and it will be credited).
Cube of Fate
The Cube of Fate is a solo dungeon (shared instance) that you can enter starting at level 40. There are 50 rooms in the puzzle dungeon, each with it's own unique challenge to complete. Once you complete a room's challenge, you will receive a random six sided die that will move you forward throughout the dungeon. The objective is to reach room 50, however if you fail a challenge or are killed along the way, you will respawn back in room 1 with the option to either exit the Cube, or start the puzzle all over again.
While the Cube can be very frustrating at times, it can also be very rewarding. You could spend a few million coins and come out empty handed, or you could spend 100k and come out with a few million coins, 20 Mysterious Chips, and over 350,000 XP! It's completely random, though patience and persistence will certainly help.
You can only do this quest once per day (well, on the days you can afford it).
Requirements
* Level 40+ to enter
* 1 Badge of Honor, which you can get once per day from the Adventure Assistants/Khatru Pup in each of the 6 major cities
* 10-30 Mirage Celestones. Each Celestone can be exchanged for 2 Dice Tickets, and each room requires 1 Dice Ticket to begin the challenge. Some rooms have very difficult challenges, and can be bypassed by paying additional Dice Tickets
* 400-600k. Several rooms require 100-200k coins to pass, although usually you are given a chance to win additional coins back
* Patience. Some days it's going to be really easy, and some days it will be impossible to finish. Understand that going in, the Cube is completely random
Rewards
* XP! At level 70-79, it's worth 350,000 XP and 70,000 spirit IF you reach room 50, at 80+ it's 400k/80k
* Money. Several rooms have a chance to win either 1 million or 5 million coins
* Mysterious Chips. Up to 20 per run (5 per room, 4 chip rooms), can be traded for Legendary Molds at the Mysterious Vendor in Thousand Streams City
* ??????. At 80+ you get a chance to enter the Cube Lottery, but it's still not translated into English, so I'm unsure what the rewards are though database sites do show some legendary gear that comes from the lottery
* Pages of Fate. At level 90+, you don't get a XP reward for completing the Cube of Fate, but you do get pages that you can trade for your Demon/Sage skill books

[7] Have a Listen

The goal is to find out which monsters have sound effects, the ones with the fire noise will 1 hit kill you, so slowly approach them until you find the monsters with no sound, and run through them to the other side
Try the 2 mobs against the left hand wall
[8] Try Your Luck

Mysterious Chips
If you visit the Mysterious Merchant in Thousand Streams City, left of the city elder, you can trade chips + coins for legendary molds and items. It looks like most of the molds available come from FB 69-89, and some of the pricing seems a little skewed. You can also trade chips and coins for legendary materials from Twilight Temple, Lunar Glade, and the Warsoul (end game) weapons.
Cube of Fate
The Cube of Fate is a solo dungeon (shared instance) that you can enter starting at level 40. There are 50 rooms in the puzzle dungeon, each with it's own unique challenge to complete.

I have not try it yet, but as far as I hear, you will have to be at least level 75 to stand a chance to get to room 50.0 -
can anybody say that he actually got a benefit from that cube??0
-
I cube every now and then, mainly for fun, or trying for chips.Two of my guild members have won the cube before. One at early 60s. One was late 50s. If you can win without spending much money, then that's good, but more often than not, you'll wind up losing money.
The farthest I ever got was room 41 (on my first run through the Cube), and I could've continued if I used the 1mil I earned earlier in the cube to buy dice tickets. Other days I can't even get to the 30s cause of sucky rooms. But IMO it's really fun if you got spare money.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -
Nice guide overview.
For some of the trickier rooms, this one goes into more detail though.

The only difficulty is that it's for PW-MY. But aside from different names, it's the same shmeal.Everyone here is ridiculously oversensitive.0 -
At level 66 I've passed it 4+ times. It's not difficult, just takes a lot of luck.0

Does mobs' strenght deepnd on the player's lvl. I mean will it be the same if I enter the cube at lvl 40 or at lvl 60.
And another question - is it good for lvl 51 archer to enter the cube or I have to wait until I hit lvls 60 +,My people, some of them have run away to the hills
and have no shelter. No food, no one knows where they are,
hear me my chiefs, I am tired. My heart is sick and sad,
I will fight no more....0 -
Yes, on the rooms where you have to kill monsters, their level goes up every 10 lvs.Does mobs' strenght deepnd on the player's lvl. I mean will it be the same if I enter the cube at lvl 40 or at lvl 60.
And another question - is it good for lvl 51 archer to enter the cube or I have to wait until I hit lvls 60 +,
lv80-89 character = lv85 mobs.(Retired from Perfect World)

Bit of both. Some rooms let you party it up, others don't.Everyone here is ridiculously oversensitive.0 -
Nice guide.
A few more pointers:
The cube can be very daunting to begin with but with some perseverance and a bit of luck it can be done. But one thing for certain is it's going to cost you a lot of money.
Mysterious Chips are nice to get but do be aware that when you exchange them at the Myterious Merchant each chip needed for the mold/mat will cost around 50k in addition to the chips. For example a 10 chip mold costs 500k in gold.
It can be good to get a squad formed before you enter or while in the cube, mainly for buffs but also for the off chance you'll end up in the same room and can help each other out. Dice rolls are completely random and are given to each player not the squad.
Room 7:Have a listen, is always the left most 2 mobs when facing the teleport master.
Room 27: Have a listen EX will change each day I think but more often than not it is the mob 2nd to the left in the first row when facing the teleport master. But the 2nd row is usually different. As a tip for listening, try rotating the screenwhen you're close to a mob, if you have stereo sound you should be able to hear if the mob is making the crackling sound or not, easy for the first row of mobs but a little more difficult when you're listening to the 2nd. It's a tricky one so good luck.
I've found the 100sec stand rooms depend more on your total HP rather than you magic or physical defence, first room you'll need around 2000hp and pots, 2nd around 3000 HP and pots, last room is very difficult and I've never passed it. Oh you'll definately need and HP charm. Apoth pots sound helpful but you're only going to be able to really use 1 the whole time you're in there because of the cooldown.
If you can find a Bully card for sale in a cat stand before you start the cube then buy one if you're determined to finish. Nothing worse than falling short near the end of the challenge. If you cant find one you can cut your losses and put up a stand in room 46 and sell your cards. Or TP out and sell them at the beginning. If you get through the cube without needing it you can always on sell it. Bully cards are pretty rare, robber cards(room 18) are plentiful.I like pie0 -
I was wondering what level is recommended for the cube to survive it.. atleast for a tank barb build.. i've heard don't enter it until 60+.. so does that mean i should stand a chance now? Also how much coin should i be expecting to spend for one try through the cube ?0

a bit of advice, there are more pk enabled rooms in the cube then the guides say, so becareful. And there's only two rooms in the entire cube that there's no way u can pass by ur self and those are room 14 and 34. Every other room, if your prepared, u can pass it. I've been doing the cube as a daily for more then 2 weeks now :P0

I started the cube at lvl 66. The first three times, I beat it. I have dinged cause of cube at 67 68 69 72 73 75. It cost a hell of a lot of money but it is worth it and I have a ton of chips to show for it. Plus, two runs ago, I got two ecstasy cards
The reality is, all the monsters in the cube have the whole [?] going on for their lvls. This significantly reduces damage that you induce and increases the damage you incur. However, VENO PETS ARE GOD IN THE CUBE! They do no less damage then they do anywhere else. The veno class is best suited for the cube because of their pets ginormous advantage. They also are guaranteed 5 chips per chip room because of their pets, and if they dont get the 5 they are doing something horribly wrong.
The only problem venos have in the cube would be room 47 100 sec, Bring it on! If you are a full mage veno, you wil lget decimated in that room so dont even try, save your charms. I, myself, however am a vit-pumped veno (4.3k hp with barb buff) and have recently found out I no longer have a problem in that room (with a hp charm of course). Just run in circles avoiding the mob in there.
MY opinion: WORST ROOM = DRAGON GATE EX (it is the devil i tell ya!)
and also 14 n 34 are a pain as well.b:bye you were all swell peoples0 -
do you lose exp/items in the PK enabled rooms if you get PK'd?0
-
no u don't lose items.
The developers have to fix this error. In room 26, after a while the one hit mob randomly teleports back to the center. The mob was in the corner while i was digging, somehow, it appeared right behind me. It didn't move there, it just appeared.0 -
WOOT! Level 40 barb just finished it...LOT of luck....0

I saw many messages , like a die in my inventory , it left again, etc, when i finally thought i had to talk to one of the pots ? I didnt have and dice , and then i left, tried again, but no quest to take ? so didnt see no room, nor mob to fight. :-(
I am cube of fate noob so ?
ALso does it take money or gems just to give it a first curious start ?

WOOHOOO finshed the cube challenge, lvl44 BM b:victory, this is ALL luck based, took me about 20+ tries before i completed it, got the ecstasy card 1mill coin tyvm, was awesome, not going to do this for at least a week since it was so time consuming. Was it worth it, sort of, went up 1.5 lvls with 200k xp but I seem to have gotten shafted on the spirit aspect of it, was 400k, but only had 58k and change when i checked it. GL to everyone that tries it, and watch out for the pk rooms, I got one shotted there by a wizard and had to start overb:angry0

So I'm in room 28 (Count the Apples EX) and all of a sudden the teleport master has no quests for me...
Is there a new time limit on this room or what? Also he asked me to count reds before the room timed out and now my log says blues.0 -
OK so from 1st post, if I didn't miss something, theoreticaly possable is to win 7,650,000 coins? (1+1+5 mil from Ecstasy, 6 Mirage Calestones (25k each), 10 Dice Tickets (50k each))
How much are Chips worth of coins to sell in Cat shop?
Do Robber and Bully Cards have any use outside CoF, and what?0 -
1. Possible, but do not think any one will that lucky.Boza_Mishica - Lost City wrote: »OK so from 1st post, if I didn't miss something, theoreticaly possable is to win 7,650,000 coins? (1+1+5 mil from Ecstasy, 6 Mirage Calestones (25k each), 10 Dice Tickets (50k each))

2. You can not sell chips, they are not tradable. however you can sell the item(s) you exchanged with chips.
3. You can not take robber cards and bully card outside of cube, they will be removed form your inv when you get out.0 -
so what are you suppost to do0

@swgs: thx for answer!
Question: On long term, lets say 20 Cube Runs, does it pay off, or not(ie. do you get more money then you spend)?0 -
it all depends .. i've done the cube 3 days .. played until I beat it .. now I profited from it because I used all my own mirages and got 1 ecstacy card .. if you buy all the mirages you use .. you have to be really lucky to make money.. I think I've spent about 500k on the rooms plus some potion/charm drain .. and the 1 ecstacy card leaves me at a profit.. but i've also used about 70 or so mirages (thank you spring and christmas event.. haha)0

So you didn't make a profit because even if you get your own mirages/dice tickets you could have sold them which would have made you more money.0
