TOWER EVENT - Fortress of Fear

discuss it here, starts on 01/31/2013

another tower/dark trap -_-

tower is like the most boring event ever, but sometimes they have pretty good rewards I guess (PFW/Cannon)

fingers crossed

fingers crossed for some more soul of skills and even some more stuff you can find at like floors 250, 350, 450, etc, so that there's plenty of incentive for everybody to keep spending, lol

As usual you need to collect 6 items (Gears) to complete a set. But it only states that you "Summon a Rank A Monster!" Usually there will be a button showing the event monsters. I'm hoping there are event monsters, and not just random A summons. If that's the case I'm skipping this event entirely. In the last one my 2 Epic Dark Summons were Beezle, and Tiamut. I'm not wasting my time on that again. Nothing in the Summons page either. Maybe they'll update it throughout the day.

It also looks like they are trying to force you to buy the "gears"/Icebreaker/dark traps/etc. so that you can get previous event-only monsters, like with one of the earlier events which had "Flashback Summons".

The next event monsters are already out...look at the new a/aa section for a glimpse..jus dont know for sure the stats and species...jus a half day til we find out...

Keep in mind they may do another Death Summoner / McFly at floor 50-100 etc etc...

Last tower I was not in for a hard push but got over 100 floors, then BAM death summoner time and cranked through him for a ton of gold and other goodies... so there will/should be a reason to do this run.

As for Flash Back summon from hunter points is it a true random draw or from a pre select few?

As for traps they are not so bad. I got hellfire cerb on my second trap last tower event. Traded it for a vanity +

Pray something like that happens to me again. But my dream team is done so I dont know what I'll do sell for EP i guess

Think again! 40 bp rancor wyrm with ded will make a quick replacement for wing arm. As for the hunter point thing...first flashback is at 300 next is 2000. Epic traps give 30 points except for the first which gives 10.

Ded on the rank rewards could really change up viability on AA teams and strengthen others. IMO another rancor wyrm is really unnecessary with the lack of wyrm down, but hey maybe they want to strengthen them green dudes. Tyranny rank reward is a demon that looks like an evolution of lilin. They even have the same skill!

-edit- Just wanted to point out the whole mechanical thing with the gear of fate summons. Hurray for sin and rancor players everywhere. Oh and tyr gets a hot girl on a bike. Sounds good

AA's with DED. There goes any chance I had of ranking. I think a lot of people are going to be trying to get them. Oh well, I can still use the opportunity to level up a little bit. Just sucks that the first Tyranny A is a 21 bp brute. Not much use for that. I'm sure she won't be skilled when +. The second A is creation, so I'll probably try to trade for a second one to + mine. I've got a creation team on the back burner I might pull out for a week or two.

These kinds of events I just burn through the first 200 floors. Don't really want to spend up for soul of skills especially with prices so low and I don't have enough to rank so...

Not that I'm going to be getting one, but what's a:

"Free Anima Summon"

Yea I was looking around for some info on that but they don't seem to have given any...kinda like how the evolution souls went. Didn't know what was coming until you got it.

Prog prices are getting very silly. Haven't seen a Sin Prog+ for less than 120EP which is stupid when you consider that the AA you win when you rank will only be worth just about double that. Means only the very high levels who can rank using less than 150EP can show any profit.

I did the $0.99 summon and got a prog!

Anyone want an Inos, lol?

Yes, and whenever I get one, it's always the sleep spirit

Yea this is pretty crazy...I got a sin prog + on the market without a price tag and I got a bid of 100 ep, DBE, balrog+, asura, and mld. I am so tempted just to end it now...probably will be the high bid in the end

I got lucky and got a sin+ for 90ep but as I couldn't play for a couple of hours i put it in auction for a 130ep price not really expecting anyone to bite in that short a time. Next time i checked after the 2 hours I had 4 bids all meeting the price! Need to find another one now!

I just found an A+ version of the 100th floor monster. They have IPA skill. Which kinda sucks for Tyranny Brutes because War Songstress just came out with IPA. I guess it's good for players who can't afford her price though. She's still selling for 80-100 in AH. I was still hoping that all of these vehicle types would be agility. Oh well.

Well all the chuuchuutwains are from 200 floor summon so keep your fingers crossed! I actually like IPA on tyr brute...the holy mother of peacock is way too rare/sought after.

With all the love mystic and undead have been getting, perhaps agi monsters for those races will be released soon...is what I thought but this event just caters to the strongest race teams of each guild.

creations are hardly the strongest for sin or rancor, lol. this event caters ONLY to tyranny, lol, with a brute and a creation; it's saying "F*** YOU!" to sin and rancor.

That's true...even with the AA sin has it's not enough to warrant giving them agi (just Adam and carnage from what I can remember). There was also no reason to put in a brute in when the rest are creation, but like I said before not complaining...because I'm tyranny ><

So, Hunter Point prizes go up to 10,000 points. Wouldn't that be > $600 just for the chance to summon a couple A's from past events?
