Cube

MntMan - Lost City

At what level is it worth it to start considering doing the Cube for clerics, how many dice tickets or mirage stones should I take along and any advice on how to make a run?

Thanks

I did not really do the cube until I was level 75...for no special reason. But I would say you have to be at least level 60+ as a Cleric to have a chance (my opinion based on nothing.....b:cute), although not saying it is impossible to do it below that time.

In terms of Dice Tickets, I take in at least 40 everytime I go on a run because some rooms will take more the 1. I take in about 10 mirages, just incase. This is because you sometimes get kicked to the beginning and if you want to try again you need the extras. Oh and you will need to carry at least 500k on you as you have to pay for some of the rooms to pass.

In-terms of "how" to run the cube....there is a thread in the forums that outlines all of the rooms. Just search for it.

Remember though...the cube is completely RANDOM!! So days it is awesome and other days it will make you want to through your computer out the window b:chuckle.....

I have heard of some runs being done in under 20 minutes, and some that took hours. lol

Quoted for TRUTH!!!

I have beaten it in 30 minutes and other times it may take an hour or more.. b:shockedb:surrender

Like I said, it can be very frustrating. But MUCH easier once you get a handle on all of the rooms, knowing what to expect can make it easier going but not always...b:surrender

I know there are threads on how to do the cube, but I was thinking more from a cleric's point of view. I imagine we tackle some rooms differently then others, struggle in some rooms and thrive in others. Any feedback on that was more what I meant as opposed to a room by room break down.

It is a lot of luck when dealing with the Cube. Here is a brief run down of some of the rooms that may cause issues for some.

[3] Slaughterhouse
Kill 5 monsters, get a die. The mobs are based on your level, therefore it should be like killing any other mob you may encounter. I have seen people die in this room though.

[5] Count the Apples
Count either the red, white, or blue wisps. Choose correctly, get a die. Sucs for anyone!

[6] Open Sesame
Kill the boss mob in this room, who does a very weak AOE dmg (~100 every few seconds) This one takes FOREVER!! You just have to hope that another person or more then one person comes into the room to help you. Otherwise you are going to be there for at least 20 minutes, AT LEAST!!

[9] 100 Second Stand
Stay alive for 100 seconds
The mob in the center does AOE dmg, while the moving mobs do weak physical
Run to the corner of the room and kill any monsters that follow you, then just tank the AOE dmg This is EASY for clerics. Once you drop in just start spamming ironheart and you will get through fine.

[14] I Don't Wanna Leave
The objective of this room is to get a die once someone in the room dies, so, you can either wait for someone to enter and then PK them
Or simply get yourself killed and start over at room 1
To kill yourself, run into the corner with the plant mob, which will debuff your HP by 80%, then agro the mob in the middle PK ROOM!! Can really suc for anyone depending on who is waiting for you, but it can also be a really easy one. It is based on luck as to who is in there. If no one comes in after 10 minutes just tele out and you have to start over....sucs when this happens.

[15] Mystical Messenger
First of four rooms where you can get Mysterious Chips (up to 5 per room)
You have 60 seconds to kill as many mobs as you can
You must turn the quest in at the middle NPC before the timer runs out, or you get 0 chips
You can only do the Kill for Thrills quest once per day, in each of the four rooms, for a maximum of 20 Mysterious Chips per run At your level you should be able to kill at least 2 in 60 seconds.

[16] Fight the Demon
Must kill a very tough mob, only possible with a squad of people in the same room
Or you can pay X dice tickets to bypass the challenge and get a die Pay to pass....there is no way!

[21] Beast Hunter
Kill 2 mobs in 2 minutes, can be difficult depending on your level
For example, level 70-79 have to kill level 75 mobs, easier at level 79 than at level 70 These can really suc! The are hp suckers and continue to regen there health. Its all in your attacks and timing, but not sure if you could so these at your level...not sure.

[23] Real or Fake
Must kill 1 mob, some are weak (never met one), most are hard, kite, use pots, not too difficult Most will take a little while, relie on your ironheart and self-healing or pump pots.


[25] Dragon Gate
Run through the exploding hands, simply wait for them to explode them move through the circle
Reach the opposite corner and talk to the NPC for your die Advise getting speed pots for this one....us clerics run too darn slow and can get caught in the middle behind the "order" of the explosions...I have done it without speed pots, but it was a pain and I think I got lucky.

[26] Death Judge
Must loot 5 chests, guarded by a mob that will 1 hit kill you
The mob moves very, very slow, so you can have him chase you to the corner of the room
Then run back and loot 2 chests, rinse, repeat This one just takes time but is VERY doable.

[29] Slaughterhouse EX
Kill 5 mobs, no time limit Not bad, same as above

[30] 100 Second Stand EX
Stay alive for 100 seconds, the AOE does more damage in this room, fairly easy with a HP charm Same as above, spam ironheart

[33] Monster Trapper
Kill 2 mobs in 2 minutes Same as above

[34] Steadfast
Same as room 14, either kill another player, or kill yourself and start over. If you do manage to kill another player here, walk along to wall to the opposite corner of the room to avoid agressing the middle ball, and make sure you talk to the NPC twice. The corner mobs only do a debuff which you can relog to clear (once you use the die) Same as above

[38] Dragon Gate EX
Same as room 25, except little insects run around that can 1 hit kill you, need to avoid both them and the exploding hands, for an easy time hug the walls tightly to avoid the insect patrols Sucs, but can be done

[45] Open, open sesame!
Same as room 6, kill a boss mob (weak, 100 dmg AOE) that has tons of hit points, takes 20-40 minutes depending on class and level, pray you don't hit the previous room and roll a 1 Sucs! Same as above

[47] 100 Seconds, Bring It On!
Stay alive for 100 seconds, same as the previous two 100 second rooms
Mob in the middle does significatly more AOE dmg (impossible for a 80 Archer)
If you're not a Barbarian or Cleric, just die and start over
If you want to try it make sure you have a HP charm, both restoration and HP pots, and possibly damage reduction charms, though I'm not sure if the damage is physical or magic Same as above

as an ep getting 5 chips from chips room is easy
for room 14 and 34 if you like bring a do-all-card cuz hardly find anyone
if you get bomb room + boss don't bother waste your hiero kill it (you'll fail)
for the room where you have to kill 2 mobs in 2 mins: first don't get the quest, find the white name mobs get it hp down to 10% then get the quest so pretty much you have like 2 mins to kill 1 mob
have to listen(first room) run to left wall
have to listen Ex: second column mobs or second last column
100 second stand(first and second): before going in get yourself full buff+chi if needed, get the quest then plume shell right away before you port in, once you ported run to any of the corner dont stand in one place, and start healing yourself + kill the mobs (don't bother the range mob) and those mobs are pretty much 2 hits
