I know I can't be the only one who found this daily quest... so does anyone know anything about it? I read the intro and it looks pretty complex. Do you really have to go through all 50 chalenges every day? Also after spending half an hour trying to kill the Axis of Fate (who even started at 1/2 life), I had what.. 5 to 10 seconds to talk to the NPC (which I missed as I was replying to a PM) before he disapeared and Axis of Fate reapeared again, this time at full health. :eek:

Here's a familiar eye...

And yes, there looks to be a bug on this map.. as seen in this shot (note text box):

    This is the first time I've seen the Cube being played through. So it's implemented in PW-INT too, that's good, it looks like it'll be fun to try out. You accessed it from the Pup I gather? There was a trailer for the Cube back when it was added to CN and I guess some others but I never saw this elsewhere. Here's the video...

    When does it take place, at what time I mean?

    Yes, talked to the pup (or, the girl next to it actualy), says for lvl 40 and up and the guy inside says you can play it once I day. I got the impression it's something similar to the world missions (but not nearly so easy lol), a daily thing you do on your own. Time.. time.. what time was that.. hmm... think it was around 8:00 or 9:00 pm my time when I found it. That'd be 6 or 7 server time. Not sure if time plays an issue if this is like WM's.

    Dang.. and I though facing the Axis of Fate made me nervious.. that trailer sure does fit the mood in there. lol Well done though

    I know what you mean. I'm sure it'll get fun when you go through all the TerraWraiths and then the exploding hands. Many people compared it to the Forest Ruin. I would try it if I were level 40 but I see no point in it, I'm not gonna bother getting to 40 either. I'll see it in OB though.

    I'm trying it out to 1) debug it as I've found some already, and 2) waste all my mirage stones (which it takes to enter) now while learning so I won't waste them when trying it in OB :P

    I can't help but wonder though if the mobs dificulty are in direct porportion to you, or if they are like in HH, a set strength, making it easier the higher lvl you are.

    Ah, ok. It shouldn't be too difficult to have Mirage Celestones to enter it, just make use of all the Celestone Fragments you collect from quests/events. There's no reason to have Mirages if you don't have the pearls to insure 100% refining success rate. What have you gained from it so far besides insight into bugs or whatever?

    Well, last night, Axis was my first foom. After -finally- killing him and seeing the npc poof and Axis return, with twice the health.. I got frusterated and called it a night. I have yet to log on today and head back in there. Been caught up in this, guild forum and rl. I'll be hopping on later when I can.

    From what I've read in the intro, there's 200k - 350k xp (based on player lvl) at the end for those under lvl 90, as well as a chunk of Spirit points. Lvl 90 and up can get Pages of Fate, used to make advanced skill books. In some of the rooms you can get goodies, like exta xp or something called golden tickets (no idea what they're for).

    I started taking screenshots of each page of the intro, so I could post them as needed, or refer to when I had a question.. but I stoped once I got to the last listing.. rooms... and saw there were 50 of them.

    The NPC for the Cube would be the Kharu Pup (sp?) or the woman near it for that quest but you need to be level 40 and have to give up a Mirage Celestone to start the quest, it seems.

    I played as a lvl 43 venomancer here for the fisrt time and i got right into the room number 6. The mobs were immune to damage so i sent pet and check for damage. I was like WTF!!! The mob hitted my golem lvl 43 for over 113K dmg in a single hit. [No Magic] then i ran cuz i feared for my life and the mob missed me. After running for like 12 seconds i decided to try and attack it with magic and check my dmg on it. The result= Zme dead in 1 hit and my attack showed Resist. PLZ either make us go to low level rooms or make a guide of how this place works [Not the tricks and all info about it just enough for ppl to understand how it works]

    When you go in there next time, can you provide us with a screen-shot of the map for this place? I wanna try this event but it'll have to wait until OB because with the upcoming crisis, I won't even be able to get on OB for a long while.

    So you get a quest from an NPC to do the next room? If you guys all would, post some screen-shots of everything, it'll help all parties involved. That reminds me, are these all seperate instances and does party work in there?

    err okay well it costs either 210k for a dice ticket or you use a mirage stone to trade for 2 and in order to do the cube of fate you need lots of dice tickets. the dice tickets let you get the quests ive been in about 12 rooms or so and im practicing in CB so i know what to do in OB =) and what to expect

    What's with the Axis of Fate boss, I can't hurt it at all? I see cute numbers going but his hp's won't budge. The first attack is the only attack that hurts him and after that his hp's will just stick wherever they were left by that first attack. I'm a blademaster.

    don't think it's ready yet, even if it were, it'd be a waste of mirage stones.

    So it would seem, I got the Axis boss down, it propably had something like 2 mil hp, but 2 steps forward from that (if you got a dice of 2) there's a room of lucky chests and nothing to do, there's an npc who sells tickets & exchanges, but offers no quests and the lucky chests cannot be interacted with, so the only way to get out is to tp out (if that's possible, i'm still in the room looking for anything).
