The Aether Tower is a tower located in World 9 (Stonewood Forest), being the fifth to be unlocked. Instead of the classic dungeon style, it is a series of five floors that the player needs to clear to advance to the floor above.
The entire tower must be completed for main quests. And complete this tower 15 times will reward a special Aether Essense Pet in Side quest.
Structure[]
Wave Defense[]
Floors 1 - 4 play as rounds of wave defense, where players must defeat a series of mobs that continuously spawn across five waves. The message "ADDITIONAL MONSTERS INCOMING" will be displayed at the top of the screen when the next wave begins. A Rusted Aether Commander will spawn on the last wave of Floors 2 and 3, whereas two will spawn on Floor 4.
Wave defense floors last 25 seconds unless all mobs are defeated, following the structure below:
Wave 1: 2:20 - 5 mobs
Wave 2: 1:55 - 8 mobs
Wave 3: 1:30 - 10 mobs
Wave 4: 1:05 - 12 mobs
Wave 5: 0:40 - 15 mobs
All mobs must be defeated in order to advance to the next floor. After a floor is cleared, 1 - 3 tower chests are rewarded along with 2 equipment chests that reward Tier 1 - 4 equipment, with one being opened with the Extra Item Drop pass. An "Extra Chest Timer" is displayed during wave defense floors, which reward an extra chest on Floor 5 for each timer completed, up to 4 additional chests. All dead players are revived if at least one player continues to the next floor.
Boss Arena[]
Floor 5 contains a boss fight against Vane, Aether Dragon. Once he has been defeated, one equipment chest will spawn at the center of the arena, along with up to 4 additional chests from the extra chest timer and any dead players will be revived. All players are automatically teleported back to World 9 after 40 seconds.
