I never did cube of fate. ever. like maybe once. I like to run through there for free teles to arch.
Anyway, i made a veno recently and i need to level her ground pet. Everyone says to go to cube of fate to level it. The only problem is everyone I asked doesn't know what room to go to, and after looking through the veno guides, they all just seem to avoid the answer.
Well after some questioning, I believe it's room 4 of the cube. But my next question is, if i'm right, how do i get to it? I know how to get cube started, but I always get dies that aren't for room 4. ._. The die trading things in the starter room don't seem to work (or i'm doing it wayyyy wrong). So wtf? Someone enlighten me. b:surrender

    Fail rooms on purpose (this will send you back to room 1) until you get the correct die to get to room 4. This can sometimes take a while, and be very irritating (all my non-venos have no problem getting to room 4, of course b:cry). Good luck!

    If you're talking about the room where you have to kill the monster before the NPC will spawn, you can town portal out of there to get back to room 1, if your town portal isn't on cooldown. If you're in combat with it it will usually interrupt the cast, so run to a far corner, force log out, then log back in and town portal. That usually works for me.

    They're useful if you die while in the Cube.

    If your gunna spend some time in there, dont forget - take off all gear and weapon to avoid repair bills

    just alternate sending your pet after one mob and attack and kill another mob with venomous scarab at the same time, although boring as hell, you can get into quite a rhythm

    if you arent already in there, hatch all the pets you want to level to save going in and out

    you might also get told to take a bow/crossbow in there - dont bother, its no easier than using v/scarab

    You also got the option of hitting them in melee in fox form, switching to next one next while your pet is in defense, work if you're extra bored. b:chuckle

    And then, there is the good old way of gathering and aoeing, best done if no competion of course or very little of it and you stay in your area and they don't mind.

    The suggested bow is mostly for faster killing, but you can always do tab hit 1 time, miss, mob come at you, mob hit you, pet in defense one shot mob and all that while you have tabbed shot a few more mobs. Better done when only wearing the bow and simply use your regen spell when you hit half hp. Just be sure to invest in a lifetime of arrow or borrow from your archer said lifetime of arrow.

    leveling in cube is absolutely mind-numbing and counter productive. no drops, no character xp. pets gain xp from mobs based on the pets level in relation to the mobs level and how full the pet is.

    pet xp gain has nothing to do with the veno's level.

    there are better and faster places to level your pet unless both you and your pet are in the mid-50s to low 60s, but even then you would do better for yourself to grind on regular mobs.

    pet 20s to low 30s long legged toxicons by the circle of trees east of silver pool.
    30s to mid 40s bon variants by angelers village, there is a little peninsula were 8 spawn very close togeather
    40-50s distant dustwraiths near sundown
    low to mid 70s seaweed theives east of sannctuary
    high 70s pirate chiefs in nightscream island
    80s cugars/adawolves east of sirry wine camp
    mid 80s the wolfs in burning heart
    low 90s nivastock shieldbearers.

    The person might have been lying to me, but a veno once told me that at high level, eveything will give 6 xp or so to your pet. if that's the case, why go after lvl 90 mobs when tombstones in cube die in 1 hit ?
    Proud supporter of the new expansion. Sure it has it's share of bugs, like any games. But for a pure farmer/grinder, that's a whole lot of new mobs to go beat up b:chuckle

    If the pet is lv95 and you're grinding on the lv93 nivastock shieldbearer, of course you're not getting the full exp. You need mob the lv of the pet or above for it to gain 15 if he is fully loyal or less if he is under 500 iirc.

    Ok My veno's 90..... so.... ARE YOU INSANE? granted u prolyl have a herc, and not many other pets. And yes u can grind mobs for actual drops, but if u honestly think u can grind reg mobs faster then ONE shotting friggin tombstones and fully lvl a high pet for the next lvl in like 10 minutes..... you're a numbskull.

    pet 20s to low 30s long legged toxicons by the circle of trees east of silver pool.

    ya... u can aoe some that're already close together but um.... since they get one shot by either u or the pet and they dont' aggro..... unles you're blowing a **** ton of genie energy and spamming zeal lure for awhile just to gather a few..... how the hell do u GATHER a bunch to aoe them? lmao

    Edit: well... tanlging mire.... maybe....... idk

    I agree it's mind-numbing, but it's certainly not counter-productive.

    The Ancient Dooms are level 150, they're tightly packed, they're harmless, and they can be 1-hit.

    All of those factors mean they are by far the fastest way for Venos to level their ground pets.

    If it's not your method of choice, then I fully understand, but don't mislead people and tell them "there are better and faster places to level your pet". That's simply false.

    I have to agree with Warren here... if it wasn't for me losing my bird, which means i'm not playing a lot (usually just at night when she'd be sleeping), i'd have my pet leveled up to my veno's level by now. Before disaster struck, I got the pet from 30 to 47 within a lil over an hour.

    Mind-numbing? Do people actually sit and look at the screen while doing this? D:D:D:

    Go window mode, shrink the window down tiny, put on a movie/show in another window. Make sure PWI's tiny window is in the foregorund. Watch movie and Tab - hotkey veno atk, tab - hotkey pet atk. Veno and pet attack different mobs and you don't have to stare at it D:

    Eveeryone told me to use the Cube when I wanted to lvl my herc but after wasting 2 to 3 hours in there trying to get the right room i just gave up and grinded on mobs.

    I'd already got the herc to abot lvl 40 anyway so i then concentrated on the 50+ mobs near
    Tusk - it was a breeze and as there was 2x active too I picked up loads of drops to sell.

    Once I'd got to 50ish i moved on to Huggy Hares near Sanctuary, and Herc is in his 60s now.

    All in all it hasnt taken long at all and I've earnt coins at the same time :)

    So if I was you - forget the Cube!
