Quote:Ancient scriptures speak of a resplendent tower forged of crystal. Reaching to the heavens, this massive monolith is said to have been erected by the Allagans at the height of their prosperity. Long thought to be a legend from centuries past, the fabled Crystal Tower has been freed from Hydaelyn's embrace, unearthed in the wake of the Calamity.

The Allagans' surpassing command of magic and technology fostered a civilization unlike any to precede or follow. What then, could be the purpose of this crystalline construct, and what forgotten relics now stir within its walls?

Excited for the crystal tower,

small note, could you spoiler the top link for the page? because its a single string it stretches the formatting on the front page (i'm at 1680x1050 and it looks like: http://i.imgur.com/E3v0udM.jpg ) At least thats what I think was causing the stretch, with the lightning guides it was screen shots, but this one doesn't appear to have long shots.

Just a thought, thanks for linking it none-the less!

Fixed. Thanks for pointing it out.

Because with my bare smattering of AF+1 and my relic +1, I still haven't even been to coil, and I'm assuming crystal tower is a step up from that. Though they haven't released the minimum item level yet, it seems..

Actually, you would be incorrect in that.  Coil is a step up from The Crystal Tower.  They wanted to release it at launch, but some technical difficulties prevented them.  And, it'll be available in the Duty Finder, so you can always solo queue for it.

You can ONLY queue with a premade party of 8, that will be matched with 2 other premade parties of 8. That said, since it has no lockouts I'll probably be grabbing people from Balmung's Finest to try and do it, so now Khyros has gotten himself back on the pester to join list.

You owe me for Titan, you sound like you want to go there, but I will force you even if you don't Khyros!

All in all looking forward to Crystal Tower. That monk (I assume monk, the eyepatched miqo'te) shirt looks great. Might have to bring that job back out just to get it.
