24 hour time limit, does not get consumed when used--essentially infinite cubes for the 24 hours you have it--like how the hyper rocks work. (I wonder, do they even still profit from regular and VIP tele rocks?...)
The catch being this thing would cost an absurd amount of NX. I said 20~30k, but he said Nexon would probably throw it up at 100k per cube. <_< let's face it, though... when you have multiple pieces of equipment you'd like to cube to unique/legendary AND get all the lines you want, even $100 is a steal... As horribly sad as that is. Such a steep price would also encourage players to buy regular cubes in hopes of getting lucky, so it's all-around profit for Nexon anyway.
While it's a good idea, you have to consider the fact that it takes 30 seconds to cube and reveal if you're extremely slow. So if you spent just an hour on cubing, that's already 144k of cubes (or ~131k in bundles). Chances are if you're spending 100 USD on unlimited cubes, you'll probably be cubing everything to unique, so it'd make more sense money-wise for it to last just one or two hours. (also consider that if you finish cubing your items, you'll probably help out your friends/guildies)

Endorsing. Either free or make it cost a very low amount of nx (like someone said, 50 nx), as well as Owls (maybe make it so you can't buy it with Maple Points). That way people will still buy at least 10k to get Owls and locks.
