Endless Tower with Friends


Overview:
Endless tower is the latest hype for power levelling in our server. As we all know, renewal has different mechanics with regards to player versus monster levelling. For normal monsters, players must target monsters with 10 levels higher or the same as the players level in order to maximize experience points. But for MVP monsters there are no penalty restrictions so any level are eligible to receive the chunk experience from these monsters. That’s how Endless Tower fit into the picture. Endless tower contains MVP monsters every 5 levels oozing with bulk experience. That is why we, adventurers are targeting this instance dungeon for rewarding experience.

Party Set-Up:
Pre-renewal me and my friends are addicted to Endless Tower exploration. We are not mindful with the amount of supplies that we are exhausting because we are having a lot of fun. We even have serious planning and strategies in order to reach the floor of Naght Seiger. Luckily our final attempt has been successful and we were able to defeat Naght Seiger. But on this run we aim to gain experience rather than reaching the top floor of Endless tower. However we still have a little set up to include a tanker, MVP killer, mob control and support roles in the team so that we will be reaching higher floors. Our unplanned party composition is listed below.

Our complete party set up

  • Blur a Warlock – mob control and ghost monster killer
  • Lxine a Rune Knight – mob control and MVP lurer
  • Luna Taleheart a Genetic – MVP killer and alternative healer
  • Pak-Man a Shura – tanker
  • Bitter Angel an Archbishop – our only support
  • Rich Kid Herbert a Genetic – MVP killer, mob control and alternative healer

The Adventure:
Since this run is unplanned we just put on gears that we normally use during our endless tower runs. We also packed the usual consumables that we are using like tokens, gems, potions and others. Because our focus is to power levelling we also brought enough advance field manuals and job manuals on our climb. Then our adventure is ON!


Golden Thief Bug Room
Nothing has changed with this MVP. Still easy to kill.

Mistress Room
Easy to kill but she is now constantly recasting Pnuema for protection.

Phreeoni and Maya Room
Another easy room. I didn’t even notice that Maya has fallen. The area stone curse of Phreeoni slowed us a bit but that doesn’t stop our MVP rage.

Drake Room
The room is also easy however our Shura is the first casualty on this run. He wasn’t able to cast Steel Body before Drake hammered him with Water Ball. Too bad.

Moonlight Room
Nothing has changed with this MVP.She still lays Land Protect first before doing anything else.

White Lady Room
White Lady survives longer now. I have no idea what makes her endure more damage now. Maybe the various heal makes her lasts longer. She has Sanctuary laid and her mobs healing her.

Turtle General Room
With a proper tank, he is manageable. Nothing really changed with him.

Samurai Specter Room
This MVP is still fearsome just like pre-renewal. His Hell Judgement still hurts even with increased HP modified for third jobs.

Amon Ra and Pharaoh Room
Pharoah is still easy to kill however Amon Ra became easier to kill now. Before he lasts longer because of his high HP pool but now he died in a few seconds.

Evil Snake Lord Room
Evil Snake Lord became stronger now. His ghost property makes her immune to most of high damaging spells. He lasts longer now and regularly casts Dragon Fear which causes annoying status ailments. He lasts longer now even if we are using the same tactics which is killing with a Wizard class

Boss Enigem Cenia and Doppelganger Room
These MVPs are a lot stronger now. The room became more difficult too because some of us are level gap with the mobs. Our skills hardly one hit kill these mobs so we have a hard time clearing this room.

Atroce Room
Atroce became easier now. Even with his high HP and Brute force we managed to take him down in a few minutes.

Photobucket


Orc Lord and Orc Hero Room
Both MVPs are easier now with a proper set up. Our bombers were able to kill them easily. The earthquake of Orc Lord became weaker too.

Baphomet and Dark Lord Room
We are struggling to survive in this room. Both Baphomet And Dark Lord can unleash deadly skills which takes down one member to another. It is still best to engage these MVPs separately for easier kill.

Comments:
The level gap feature of Renewal gave us a hard time in advancing up the tower. However even with penalties we were able to climb more than half way of the tower. We were also rewarded with bulk experience and most of us gained a level and a job level. I therefore conclude that Endless Tower is one of the best ways to get chunks of experience in Renewal even at early levels of third jobs.
