Endless Tower - Four Man Team

Overview:
I think everyone is already familiar with Endless Tower because it is the hottest dungeon for Power Leveling this Renewal. It's not an exception on our case because we are taking advantage of the experience given by the MVP monsters inside this dungeon. MVP monsters are the only monsters without experience penalty. And where can you find most of these MVPs? Yep it's in Endless Tower! What do we get on entering this dungeon? An adventure while leveling up!

Waiting for our turn on the instance

Previous Adventures:

If you're interested with our Endless Tower adventures you may view them on the Adventure's Page. It contains my pre-renewal journal on how we progressively reach the top floor. It also conatains my renewal journals but more on power leveling.

The Cast:

Our party compisition for this run consist of only the key players. Our aim is not to face the MVPs on the the top floor but to power level up with high level MVPs. Our team composition is as follows.

• tourmented`soul a Sura - tanker
• Rich Kid Herbert a Genetic - MVP killer and mob control
• angel_sweet16 an Archbishop - Support
• .blur a Warlock - MVP killer and mob control

The Adventure:

There are no special preparation for this run. We only carried essential stuffs like Potions, Tokens, proper equipments and food buffs. Because our aim is for power leveling we used our stored Ashes to jump from the 1st floor of Endless Tower to the 51st floor. We used up 2 ashes in doing this jump.

Evil Snake Lord Floor

The floor is very easy considering the power of third job classes. Because of the MVPs ghost type property, our Warlock is the one assigned to take down this monster. There are no visible threat for this MVP until it was taken down.

Atroce Floor

This floor is also easy. Our tank managed to withstand all the brute attacks from this MVP while I was throwing Acid Bomb from a distance. Our Warlock supports by laying Quagmire to debuff the MVP even a little.

Orc Hero and Orc Lord Floor

The dual MVP floor is easy just like the previous floors. We were able to engage the MVPs separately which makes our battle easier. But even if we faced these MVPs together, it would still be an easy task to kill them by concentrating our attack on one MVP first. They have no threat skill that could wipe our party.

Baphomet and Dark Lord Floor:

Here's another dual MVP floor on the tower. These MVPs are more powerful compared to the previous dual MVP. It is best to engage them separately. The things to be considered to survive this floor is to let the Sura tank handle the damages and the Archbishop to lay sanctuary with pnuema to counter Evil Land and Hell Judgement.

Fallen Bishop Hibram Floor:

Fallen Bishop Hibram marks the start of difficult rooms during pre-renewal but now in Renewal a four man team can handle him smoothly. What makes this MVP annoying are his Banshee mobs that change target most of the time. A quagmire on the tank helps lowers the DPS of the monsters attacking the tank. What makes Sura an ultimate tank in renewal is the change on Mental Strenght to receive only 1/10th of the incoming damage. That makes Sura an ultimate tank for  MVPs. And couple it With lots of Acid Bomb throw Fallen Bishop Hibram surely has fallen. Also note that Hibram gives lots of experience even for a four man team.

Careful engagement with Fallen Bishop Hibram

Ifrit Floor:
Ifrit is still strong and formidable MVP. With the dawn of third job classes, the so called magic strategy can now be set aside. A four man team can handle this battle head on. The strategy is to let the tanker handle the MVP and mobs while healing himself with potion. The MVP killer will be at a distant throwing Acid Bomb together with the Archbishop who casts Lex Aeterna for faster killing. The Warlock on the otherhand can rest on a corner. Perform this repeatedly and the team will surely gain huge chunk of experience.

Comments:

So far Endless Tower is really the only option left for power leveling in renewal. No other maps can be compared to the fast level offered by this tower. However in pRO because of the influx of players creating instances this dungeon only lasts for 2 to 3 days per week. For the rest of the week the dungeon is bugged and doesn't let instance creation. Now, we are looking forward for the other renewal episodes to expand our horizons in exploring other maps for leveling. As of now even Endless Tower is not reliable for leveling up our characters.
