The Cube of Fate

so much whinning in this thread. It gives you 400k xp. It is not supposed to be super easy. Just like other areas of the game talk to someone who does it and get pointers, or do some searching in these forums and find the numerous guides that exsist on it.

yes it cost a couple hundred k each day in coins to do. However you get 400k + xp. I do it every day. Its not that hard or expensive. Everyone that doesnt even knoow how to finish need to quit whinning baout what they dont know.

That guide is very informative. I used it when I started doing cube.

Once you get the hang of cube, you'll wonder how the hell you leveled without it.

yea we're not all bms or barbs with high hp. do you really think i stand there w/o a charm or pots and say "duh"? 1st one charm can handle it just fine, 2nd one i cant tank it with charm, pots, and apoc pots. hits too hard for my low hp.

I've beaten room 47 (the 3rd and hardest of 100 second stand) as a wizard using just my hp charm, red pots and morning dew skill......though yes i've also lost. it's been about 50/50

The first two 100 sec stand rooms I've done with my 70 veno using the powders from the Jolly Jones event, no charm. She's only got like 1700 hp. They're not that hard if you have a running speed buff, though there is a small bit of luck involved with which direction you're running when you first get dropped in the room.

The first one is almost trivial. The second one, the damage rate exceeds the powder's hp regen rate. So you need a supplemental heal (genie skill, rejuv pots, soul transfusion, charm). The last one I don't think is doable without a charm. The damage rate is just too high to counter with the other heals for 100 sec.

A friend from my guild usually goes there and has a lot of fun. I think he reached room 50 but i dont know if he got something (gotta ask him). Anyway he always enjoys cube of fate b:pleased

most days i love the cube. some days i hate it. cube veterans might feel me on this one...

btw for those of you wanting to give the cube a try for the first time, i strongly suggest you read cube guide posted on these forums before you start, otherwise you will likely have a very confusing and frustrating experience.

good luck!

Well i know about cube but i keep hearing theres lotsa glitches and people still getting stuck etc so i havent tried it out. I plan to though eventually just hoping they fix some stuff more.

well rooms that reset can reset in the middle of running through mobs which is pretty crazy annoying but fairly rare, and ive had 14/34 bug where the npc doesnt appear before ;/ , but overall 1-50 have not been too problematic

i didn't even get past the first room it telported me too all it was it a bunch of orange named mobs and 2 NPCS i wasn't able to get through it at all.

Too hard and expansive to complete, too little reward, too annoying.
this isnt suited for me.. unless the reward changes from 400k exp to like 2m exp at lvl 80b:pleased

Don't waste your money on it.
Chances are you'll blow several hundred k and end up with nothing.

Also most of the rooms are pk.

To me it seems more like a play room for high level uber-equipped characters with more money than they know what to do with. If you're planning to use the cube for profit, you better know exactly what you're doing, or be extremely lucky.

Which is fine.
Some people find it very enjoyable, and having the option there is nice. Difficulty makes it a challenge. Obviously it wont be for everyone. Rather than "fixing" the cube up to try make one or two people happy, it'd be better to create new content that suits the non-cube playing half of the community.

Personally, after a while it doesn't seem all that bad. I've only done it 6 times and I've passed it maybe 3 times. It's not too challenging, granted there is a guide, and your luck is overwhelmingly good... However... The rooms after level 50, are virtually impossible to complete unless you are of the Untamed race, Venomancers and Barbarians notably. Sure it may seem easy if you have a legendary pet tanking for you, or Hit-Points [HP] in the upper thousands. It's just a shame as easily as you die, you start back at room one [1], instead of room fifty [50] and you leave with nothing after completing the seemingly hard parts to get to the more extreme parts with more a more improbable survival rating.

True, it's a bit expensive in price, especially when you get nothing out of it. But the idea that mirage stones should cover more than just two dice tickets would be great to implement, to reduce some of the cost for other players who don't have the same luck as others. As for the rooms, where you pay 100k to pick up treasures and pass, you should have an option for others not to try their luck with the Sadness and Ecstacy Cards. Not everyone wants to get stuck in those rooms. It's a waste of money for many as the chances of getting profit is slim to none. Granted you enter those rooms ten times, you have a one-in-ten chance of getting one million [1,000,000] coins. By that time you have already spent that amount of money, and even then the one-in-ten chance can skip over that ten percent, and you spend even more money, making things alot less enjoyable.

As for the rooms 51-60, the only ones I've noted who are not complaining about not being able to pass are those higher levels with legendary pets [Venomancers]. For clerics, archers, wizards, and most other players who don't have that kinda access to notable power, it is a bit overwhelming. Toning down the difficulty level, or making seperate routes depending on your class or race might make things a bit more enjoyable. However, the Cube of Fate is definitely not for everyone, and without a tweek in the system, it's a Dire Fate in the Cube for most everyone. Making things a lot less enjoyable for many...
