Endless Cellar: Dragon Edition

🐉 Hosted by: Finnian 

 🐉 Gathering place: Louyang

 🐉 Maximum time: 4 hours (Can be done in less, but it's not uncommon to take nearly the whole time limit.)

To continue celebrating the Lunar New Year, we're going above and beyond with special events! Or in this case, below. 

Endless Cellar (EC) is an instance dungeon, similar in concept to Endless Tower, but with different monsters and increased difficulty. If the party makes it to the end of this nightmare of a dungeon leading them deep underground, they will arrive at the 100th floor where they must endure a series of trials before facing the fearsome final boss. Check the Endless Cellar wiki article for more details.

  🐉  Here to Help   🐉 

Finnian and his assistant(s) will provide a few helpful buffs to aid the brave adventurers in their race to the bottom. Party wipe? No problem. Finnian can revive the party. However, for every 3 revives the the prize category will drop (more on this later).

  🐉  For the Record   🐉 

If the party clears the Endless Cellar quickly and certain qualifications are met, which will be discussed before the event starts, they may contend for the JellyRO Endless Cellar World Record! The current record for EC is: 1 hour 53 minutes 48 seconds 61 milliseconds. A party that manages to break the record will win a Super prize in addition to other rewards earned from completing the instance.

  🐉  Get that Bread   🐉 

Typically, every 25th floor reached earns the party a reward from the next highest prize category, and these prizes are cumulative. Floor 25 is a Small prize, floor 50 is a Medium prize, floor 75 is Large, and in order to obtain the Super prize the party must defeat the final boss on floor 100. For my Endless Cellar event, the prizes are doubled, and still cumulative! That means, you get double the prizes for each floor milestone passed, and two different Super prizes for defeating the final boss on floor 100. Beat the record using less than 3 revives and you could end up with three Super prizes! As usual, the party will also earn a Jellybean for each hour (rounded up), and 1 Auro per floor passed, up to 100. Even if you dropped one prize category for revives, beating the record will still earn you a Super prize. You can learn more about prize categories here.

  🐉  Be Prepared   🐉 

The event will start promptly at 8 pm CST (UTC -6). Get your gear and supplies ready ahead of time. Depending on what character classes/jobs show up, it may not be ideal to bring your main, so if you have a viable alt, make sure they can be ready in a couple minutes. Once the event starts you won't be allowed to swap your characters, and each player can only bring one character, so choose wisely! Also make sure you can stay for the full 4 hours if necessary. 2-3 hours may be doable, but don't count on it.

  🐉  Adventurers Assemble!   🐉 

For Endless Cellar, my party requirements are at least 8 players each bringing a character over level 90, preferably transcended and well-geared. After those requirements are met, anyone else may join, even if all you they do is tag along for the adventure (as well as shared exp and loot) as long as the character is at least base level 69 (party exp share range is +/- 30) and they actively keep up with the rest of the party (No AFK). That being said, I still recommend bringing a character that will realistically be able to assist in fighting. If your character had an active role in a party that beat Endless Tower, they may be ready to try Cellar. This is not required, but Cellar is extremely difficult and inexperienced players may have a bad time. Or maybe it'll be epic, who knows? 🐉

It can be helpful to coordinate with other players. Hop on JellyRO Discord (invite link) and let people know in the #events channel which class you plan to bring.
