This guide is no longer being supported. With time, it will become out-of-date. Hopefully it’ll be useful to some of you guys before that point. More explanation as to why I’m quitting can be found here.
Hi all, Saintone here again. I’m the Cleric from the 10/F, 15/F, and 20/F iTOS ET clearing party, here to present a small project I whipped up yesterday. We were the first to clear the entire tower outside of Korea and managed up to the 15th floor even when 7/F was bugged and borderline impossible.
Turtai don’t mess around.
This is an Earth Tower handbook I’ve written in an attempt to educate the playerbase on what Earth Tower is all about. Most of the information in this work is subjective and my opinion at best, from my experiences either playing, partying with, or witnessing each and every single class’ capacity within the tower since the game launched in both the Korean and English versions of the game.
I intend to keep it updated in an effort to help those who are dissuaded by the idea of going, to give it a shot. I can’t promise success, since a lot of ET is dictated not by what you know, but how you perform. But I would like to preface the guide with a single statement: so long as your build has some sense to it, there is more than likely a way to have it clear at least half of the tower with a proper supporting party.
I’ll continue to add more information as my own team progresses through the tower as well. I hope this resource comes in handy for some of you. As class balances occur, I’ll also try to reflect that in the pseudo-tier list, as well as class additions when rank eight is incorporated in.
If people find it useful, I’ll try to do more things like this for additional endgame content, such as Solmiki (ET21-40) and future similar challenges.
As a disclaimer, you are always welcome to ask questions, provide input and feedback, and request sections to the guide whether here or privately. I can be reached in-game (Saintone, Klaipeda) or via some Discord channels.
Changelog
version 1.0 - This is the first iteration of the published guide. It has a brunt of what I have on my mind when it comes to Earth Tower as of the game version present on July 13th, 2016. It has some descriptions for Earth Tower floors 1-14 and very few pictures. Most of the common FAQ questions were answered, ratings were given to all the rank 1-7 classes, and numerous general tips were given.
version 1.01 - First update. A proper table of contents that allows for quick navigation through the document. More images. All known enemies are now included with quick links to their online database page.
version 1.02 - Included a shopping list for decent assets to pick up before heading into Earth Tower. Adding more images of the individual floors, but not all of them yet.
version 1.03 - 7/F was fixed, so the guide was updated to reflect tactics for succeeding on it easier. Paladin moved up a star, because it’s actually good after the 10th floor (but still struggles before that point). 12/F is significantly harder, will need more elaborating. A note regarding Pyroego and Dispeller scrolls has been added as well. Animus no longer bugs HP on entry to the tower.
version 1.04 - We’ve since cleared all of Earth Tower. Some miscellaneous information added here and there, as well as some additional (but not yet in-depth) information regarding floors 15 through 20.
version 1.05 - Barebones for R8 added.
version 1.10 - Job ratings revised. Con table removed, individual star ratings for each job circle added. Some revisions here and there; this is still being worked on and will be edited over time. Miscellaneous things added here and there, such as Enchanter’s Armor Buff added to list of assets you can purchase before running.
