    I officially hate room 6 now. You can't get out of it no matter what once the boss starts attacking until you or it dies. Unless you're well prepared and very high leveled, it's best to wait until someone else arrives to help.

    Drazo it's not really designed for a mid 5x. While it is do-able it is more a matter of luck. There are to many rooms like the one you just mentioned that force you to restart. At 7x that boss is really quite easy, just takes a while.

    Other than you can't restart once he starts attacking (town teleportation always gets interrupted).

    You can just move to the edge of the room and wait he will stop attacking after a bit. The corners usually work the best

    I tried that, it didn't work. :\ Fortunately someone else (and much higher level than me) came in at some point and we managed to take him down much quicker.

    Anyone know how the thrown die forges work? I went up to one with a thrown die in my inventory and clkicked on it and it wouldn't work. b:victory

    You go to it with whatever room the dice was from. It's then just a matter of matching up the number on the dice.

    The Thrown dice forges are used if you've somehow been teleported out of rooms 2-49, you can trade them back for a new puzzle cube allowing you to restart. There are 4 or 5 tabs on the forges and each correspond to a different room, so find the tab for the room you came from and you can get your cube back. You'll most likely need it if you get killed after you get your dice or a bomb teleports you back to the beginning.
    You can't use it if you've rolled a 5 in room 1 :(.

    I finished my Cube video tutorial for Rooms 1-50. I may go back and record some rooms again to get better footage.

    Not planning on doing lottery for some time till I get tons of money.

    WOW! Thank you so very much for writing this amazing guide and for the videos, wowzas!

    It's funny because I (lvl 47 veno noob, of course) asked someone today what the Cube was and they simply replied "The darkest depths of hell", and now I can see why. Hahaha! I really don't know if I'll ever be doing this...

    I've looked everywhere I can think of and have not found any info on what the odds are for recieving 1m from a golden box or 5mil from a plat box. If anyone has any info or knows where to find, please let us know. Thanks

    PWDatabase has percentages, but PWI does claim the site to be false at times.

    They have...

    Ecstasy as 10%, Sadness at 90%
    Excitement as 2%, Sadness at 98%

    My personal experience with the cube has been:

    Not many rooms are a problem to clear.

    Some of them stop you dead. "Wait for 6 party members" "Wait for someone to PK"... just not gonna happen, I don't think there ARE six people in the cube at once.

    But there's no reward. You spend some celstones and get nothing.

    lol?

    From the first page:
    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

    Also, they changed this room, its 15 not 10 b:sad

    In truth, at a certain point the only difficult rooms are 14, 34, and 38 (I'm getting way better at this.) Maybe 25 and 27.

    25 difficult? huh? And room 27 can be done easily if you follow Asterelle's method he posted in another thread.

    Eh, not 25, I keep confusing it with Count the Apples EX (can't remember which, is it 28?). You'll have to excuse me, I'm drugged up on cold medicine.

    My advise for those ppl (especially mage class) having problems passing room 47 is: get vit gear... as much vit/HP as u can, doesnt matter lvl or pdef of the item. Of what ive seen the boss in 100 sec rooms ignores pdef, hit for same 200-300 dmg in room 9, 400-500 dmg in room 30 and 700-900 dmg in room 47. Also in room 47 spam event HP pots, use tree of protection and apo HP pots if necessary, make sure you have 30k + Hp on your charm when entering that room and RUN RUN RUN

    I think another go around to 47 or any 100 Second Stand room is if another person enters the room the same time as you....

    Wait awhile (maybe 90 seconds) then enter. A guildmate was explaining this to me, and I happened to enter ~10 seconds left of the other person. So the mobs and AoE were active. But after she warped out, I was in a corner, and the AoE didn't activate, I'm supposing because when you enter, it aggros the center AoE mob.

    Play to beat the cube, but if you have a chance to get out for just profit, go with that. Many times I've just TPed back to start when I get Bully cards and call that my run for the day. I can sell them and make profit for the next run. Trying to get both profit and win at the same time is pretty much cross-purposes. That's how I was making millions from cube.

    The OP should have posted the comments from Seppuku's page as well. We added tips and tricks for beating mobs and rooms easier, cleric part was explained in detail for just about every room.

    If people have a hard time with the 2 mobs in 2 mins for ranged being health drained, beat the 1st one up to near death followed by a sleep, stun, or freeze. Then go and actually accept the quest. At that point, kill the 1st guy and move to the 2nd. You now have almost 2 mins to kill one of them.

    For the 16 and 43, where 4 are just standing around, you don't need to be in a squad to beat it. I've soloed both the early one, and the final one with my cleric. Was cheaper on charm cost than tickets at the time. However, at least the final one is a PK set room. And fighting a player and the boss is pretty much suicide. Somewhat of a gamble.

    Guide was written when Nishtara was in the 80s, that's why it didn't specifically state 450k XP at 90-99. Basically, whatever the first number of your level is, multiply it by 50K xp. That's how much you get.

    PK rooms 14 and 34 used to be auto-fails, with only 5-7 people on the server cubing every day. Nowadays you can meet up with someone pretty frequently in there. Doing your cube run during rush times is a way to better the chances of having someone to kill. Also works in reverse, so if low level watch out.

    EDIT: As someone already mentioned, plume shell works against the Survive rooms turret's damage. Spam a few ironhearts before accepting the quest, Hit IB 2 more times then plume shield. As soon as you appear, target a mob and Tempest. Will kill all the mobs if decently leveled and full arcane. Hit IB 2 times, move to corner a bit, repeat. Don't want IB to lapse when plumeshield does. Once in corner, just do IB over and over. As full magic cleric, successfully completed charmless at lvl 82 or so. Clerics have the easiest time in all those rooms :)
    Fist are the worst at PvP AND PvE, if you disagree, as I said, take it to PM's or make your own guide. Go here if you want to debate about it. - Lyndura

    Town Portal. Or if you have a person willing to give you money, squad, and have the person drop 200,000 coins, and 100,000 goes to you.
