I 'm not sure i'm in the right place mods if not feel free to move.

Anyway, I hit 96 yesterday and started the last 10 cube rooms.
I need to know if anyone else has noticed that the "REWARD" in room 55
is botched.

I have been in the room twice now in the last two days and I payed my 150,000 coins for my lottery try, so far so good...but the first time my "REWARD" was to LOSE 660K coins
again in case you missed it LOST 660K.

again tonight same thing pay my 150K get my ticket turn in and this time am "REWARDED" by
LOSING 330K

Maybe i'm just dense but is this intentional or broken? I understood you Gained money or got nothing. zero K, 330K, 660K, or 990K to the plus like ...hence the term reward.

please your thoughts

    according to the advanced cube of fate guide here
    Room 54: pay 100k, reward: none

    A Lottery Room.

    You basically pay 100k and if you are lucky you get a reward.

    If you get all 3 the same color you win a lottery coin.

    If you get one of each color you win 300k. Everything else just takes your money!

    Once you are done you get a turtle or rabbit card. No book credit cards from this room.

    so the lottery room is 54 and description does match what happened to you. Price doesnt.

    Room 55: pay 150k+, reward: none

    You pay 150k to buy a ticket. You then have a chance to win. Here's how it works.

    Basically, there are random rewards. Usually Coins.

    Once you turn in your ticket you get a turtle or rabbit card. No book credit cards from this room.

    hmm dk? XD i dont really run the advanced cube

    You don't make money on advanced cube, you only spend it. It's only worth doing if you plan on farming cube neck, but it's still cheaper just to by it. b:bye
    I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.

    If you bothered to read the quest, he says he spins a wheel. You don't lose anything except the initial 150k for a chance to win 330 660 or 990k. What you probably missed was that it says "you just barely missed first prize of 990k," you missed or lost an opportunity to win, it didn't cost you anything more than 150k.

    ^ what he said... did you actually look at your coins before and after the transactions? did you actually lose 660k?

    Yes sir I did indeed LOSE money yes it said i had nearly won 2nd place then subtracted 330K
    I Always run with my inventory open in cube. I thought it happened the first time i KNOW it happened the 2nd time, and update as of today's run a third ...I almost won 2nd place and 330k was SUBTRACTED. My question is, intentional or broken. i'm certain it happened and have screenshots from today's run just in case.

    I have to confirm what the OP said. I had 200k left on this archer upon reaching room 55. I took the quest, paid 150k and was left with 50k. Everything OK so far.

    And then :

    "Got 1 award ticket"
    "1 Award ticket disappeared"

    I had a quest in my quest list called :
    "Prize time" (from cube prize manager) but I could not complete it because obviously i didn't have enough money to be subtracted from my account. So I'm guessing instead of rewarding with 330, 660, or 990k coins this room actually charges you with either 330, 660, 990k.

    It has been this way since the game was implemented. It's intentional. 90% of the time that room will cost you 400k+, I have done that room at least 25 times and I've only won money like...2 times, ever.

    I replied to the 7th topic on the 1st page of mystic forums, and got reported for necro. Plz save mystic forums.

    well alrighty then, good to know it's not just me. from the write-ups on the rooms i could find, they all stated you WON either 0,330,660,990. I thought maybe a glitch and unintentional, but apparently not. thanks for the feedback, and I think they can officially shove their last ten rooms right up their old u know what's.

    paying 1-2 mill for 1 and a half old book pages is not real cost effective.

    you actually are suppose to win coin not lose it this is I believe a bug in itself that doesnt happen often or at least has not to me. I have done rooms 1-60 for ages and have not encountered this. Ever. I know the room can give the said before amounts of coin. Never have I lost it though. I have been doing cube a long long time on my veno. This has not been something I have encountered yet. That however being said I have not done cube itself recently either on my veno. There may be a update problem I do not know. yet I agree that Is somewhat disturbing to see. I would agree. b:shocked
