Since i have finished farming my Cube Necklace i want to share with others the expenses i had to go through daily and how much coins it took for farm it :) Soo here was the course of me getting it with one character (A Mystic :D)

A friend told me if you used a COF letter to go through cube on the same time you use npc duty badge you can skip having to pay for 50-60 for one COG Daily..... Thanks x_OverKill_x

You can do this by.. On the first run you go to room 50 get COG Tp to room 1 use COF Page to go through cube again and at 60 you repair your first COG You got (but didn't repair right away) then after 30mins repair the one you got using the COF Letter...

    Pro tip:
    1. Finsih one cube run to room 50 before server reset and get 1 disabled cog that lasts for 1 hour.
    2. Start over from room 1 and do another run to room 50 so you have 2 disabled cogs (one that is fresh and one still has like 30-40 minutes left on it).
    3. Do rooms 51-60 now in one trip and turn in the cog with now 20-30 minutes left.
    4. Stay in room 60 for another 30 minutes for the cool down quest to expire.
    5. Turn in the second cog.

    You get 2 cogs this way while only doing rooms 51-60 once.
    Alternatively you can use COF director letters for the second cog and you can do this every day instead of every other day.

    EDIT: Heh, I see you figured this out in day 27. Nevermind.

    Also you are paying way too much for do alls. You can get those really cheap from DQ points.

    Eh :\ you only get 1 Do-all for 500 points or something like that?
    In my eyes that doesn't seem well worth it...

    Thanks for posting this. ^^

    Is advanced cube hard? I've never really bothered with it, just took the PoF to sell later. I have three characters available for getting cogs, so I might start farming a cube neck myself, seeing as this price is way more reasonable that 120-160m I see on HT.

    You can get do-alls for free from DQ but there's an opportunity cost from that so I think its fair to include do-all cost as an expense. Also I once worked it out and you get more financially from using DQ points on HP charms.

    Is this what you get? I think they go for 80M on my server unless WC has deceived me.

    Advanced cube is not hard at all once you get a grasp on it :) After day 5-6 it felt like any other daily... a guide can be found HERE

    I wouldn't know of the price in HT But farming it will almost always be cheaper... And yes that is one of the cube necklaces you can get(You can chose from Magic resist or Physical resist)
