Nexon Wrote:
The legendary Tower of Oz was built deep below the sea by Alicia, the Transcendent of Life, before the Black Mage could desecrate Maple World with his evil. Alicia built the Tower to protect innocent creatures from the Black Mage and created guardians to help aid her, each fashioned after characters from her favorite childhood story. But her magic was too strong and the guardians grew too powerful. Now they have gained control of the Tower, and it's up to you to help Alicia save her underwater sanctuary.

Characters Lv.100 and up can enter the Tower of Oz through the Dimensional Mirror. However, there are barriers within the Tower that will block anyone smarter than a scarecrow. If a smarty-pants intruder stays in the Tower for too long, they will be booted back to the lobby. Since we know you're not brainless, you'll need to take some Stupid Pills to trick the Tower's defense system.

You get five minutes to traverse the Tower if you do not take a Stupid Pill, which you can buy from Glinda using Oz Points. Oz Points can be earned by clearing a floor; you'll also gain EXP. If you don't make it through the Tower before the first Stupid Pill wears off, you can unlock additional Stupid Pill slots from Alicia to extend your use time. You have a better chance of getting to the deeper floors with stronger Stupid Pills.

If you do not have enough Oz Points to buy a Stupid Pill, you can get a Generic Stupid Pill from fellow Maplers. Even when you still have time remaining from the Stupid Pill, if you remain on a floor for too long, Finley will appear to shoo away unwelcome guests, a.k.a. people who are actually smart, a.k.a. you.

Players who enter the Tower of Oz will need to traverse up to 50 levels while completing tasks, such as hunting monsters, navigating jump quests, and more. Survive the Tower's trials to reach the bottom floor. Powerful bosses appear every 10 floors to halt your advance. If you want to continue, you'll need to defeat monstrous versions of the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, the Cowardly Lion and even Dorothy herself! Conquer up to 200 floors each day for a true challenge.

Several floors act as resting spots; there are no monsters on these floors. The Tower of Oz uses time-stops while you are in a resting area, so feel free to take a breather.
When you log out in a resting spot, you will return to its location when you log back in, and can continue your journey from that floor. When you return to the lobby, you can earn bonus rewards based on how far you got. Oz Points received from clearing floors can be used to purchase a variety of items from Glinda, who's taken up residence outside the Tower's entrance.

When you're done exploring, you will receive one of Alicia's Ring Boxes- which type of box depends on which floor you exited from. The box can contain a new weapon, earring, or ring that will grant unique skills when equipped. Clear even higher-level floors with tougher monsters and bosses to receive special staffs and hats.

There is treasure at the bottom of the sea, and the only way to claim it is to dive, dive, dive... how low can you go?

Is there anything to do in the tower for people who don't cap with every line? Seriously.

Hope there's a bit more to the update. The Seed never seemed all that interesting to me.

Her dress is pink now, nice. Appeared to be blue in KMS.

Looking forward to at least trying this place out.

Shouldn't this be v.152?

I s'pose they're not doing a complete version up; it's already in the data and everything. I saw the splash screen on world select when I was lagging last night. But going by their trend, yes, it should be.

Nexon: You need to take Stupid Pills to play this game.

I thought the tower seemed interesting when it first came out but the more I learned about it the less interested I was.

it's annoying and obnoxious as pineapple, but at least you can get le "rude" sword here to compensate for the horrible experience (if you get to higher floors that is HAHAHAHA, pineapple this, the amount of RQs from this small piece of pomegranate is unbelievable).

You sure it's a good idea, considering Projectile skills may not even be fixed by the time it comes?

It really doesn't matter.
She's pretty much nigh impossible.
We need another Xenon™-esque class in order to kill (back in Unlimited only Xenons could really kill cra and such so yeah, you get what I am saying here).
I doubt that even glitched Frozen Orb+50m per hit would do much to her.

July 23. We sure are getting these patches in short order. I imagine the last part of all this will be the promised Kritias sometime in mid-late August. That means we either will 1) get a filler event patch in Sept with dragged out releases of the remaining two Cygnus Knights in Oct and Nov (or later), which leaves Winter vastly empty. Or 2) we will get a whole bunch of nothing (MAYBE the Jett revamp from CMS) until winter and they turn the Winter update into the Cygnus releases. Either way, it's a whole bunch of nothing on the horizon. Maybe we'll get lucky and they will fulfill my dream of a simultaneous 5th release this winter across all Maple platforms....
