Deep Aquapolis

Works like normal Aquapolis but killing trolls creates portals when you open the chests.

Once you enter a portal you go down to harder chest room floors.

Killing goblins increases il level cap for the dungeon by 10.

Everytime you go down a floor the item level/level of enemies will increase by 30.
180->210->240.

Rewards will be different/ better when you explore harder floors.

Going down floors places you in the same room.
F1/Room7=B1/Room7=B2/Room7

Portals are optional and will disappear when you try to open a door.

Dragonskin maps no longer open portals straight to the Aquapolis instead drop items in the loot pool called "Aetherial Teleporter:Aquapolis". Once used as a item can teleport everyone within the same zone to the Aquapolis. Allowing small groups to farm dragonskin maps to obtain the Aetherial Teleporter:Aquapolis. Aetherial Teleporter's can be found in other maps and be sold on the market board.

Too hard.

Gates players who don't have raid tier or upgraded tomestone gear.

Too much RNG.

People will be selective of the classes they want.


Anything I missed?


and to keep something clear, /s

If we have to do all this work just to get a harder Aquapolis, the rewards better be worth it or I won't bother.

Why not just increase the floor number to 21? Lol

most people even can't pass 1st floor yet you want increase the floor? lol

shrug* it makes it last longer before people get bored. You know in this game some insane person would get to floor 21 by the first week...

I want an endless aquap, like just let the floors keep going with increasing difficulty and better rewards the farther I go, n like every 7 floors u get the 100k gil. Maybe after floor 14 the rng drops too 25%, then 10% at 21. 28 could be the last normal floor, then on 29 it's a survival mode with waves of mobs n if you survive u get to go to floor 30 where it's just a massive loot room filled with chests n each player gets to pick their own chest to open. That would be cool I think.

The great thing about this content is the fact it can be an FC event which due to RNGeebus (All praise them and their randomb factor tractor) can either get you to floor 7 twice in one night or see your group blow 10 maps and get in 2 or 3 times.
It doesn't need changes. It's a nice inclusive piece of content that doesn't need the best gear to take part in.

Probably for the best that actual gear is never included in the Aquapolis, deeper or no. It really is a nice inclusive bit of content that you can drag anyone around to do, and the rewards kept to non-progressive items means the place will always be relevant in some fashion.

That said 7 floors is good, very good. There's a level of enjoyment that they hit just right with fighting RNG just getting to a 7th floor. It's a distance, but not overwhelming. Even if you only hit the 6th floor it's not nearly as disheartening as it would be if there were 100. Keeps a limit on what to expect and it feels good.

A deeper level for the truly masochistic to seek out wouldn't be a bad idea, though. Just no changes to where the current is now outside of loot updates in the future.

I'm all for anything that would make aquapolis not boring.
But that would require SE to actually put work developping their content. Not gonna happen.

The increased il is there so players can group up as 8 if they want to tackle them.
Number of rooms would change much it would just be 7-9 rooms max a run. Going down a floor teleports you in the same room but it isn't cleared. Which gives you another chest without having to open a door and risking rng with opening doors.

il180 really isn't that high. Alot of people are way above that and even when next normal alex comes out & the patch its gonna go to 250/260/270 item level. il240 gear will be nothing by then when add in this.

Aquapolis was made for the casual player, not ones who are at the end game. But since a lot of people enjoyed playing with their friends and even random players, the ilvl thing is moot.

more Floors is a bad idea. however...

I think a better way to do this is when 4.0 comes out have a New high tier map that opens a new "Aquapolis" in the new zones.

honostly with how popular it is, im 100% certain this will happen

maybe even go back and add an Aquapolis to 2.0 maps. I DONT KNOW. just a thought.

2.0 Piestskin maps >>> ???
3.0 Dragonskin maps >>> Aquapolis
4.0 Somethingskin maps >>> ???

ALSO. if they added more floors they would have to change how The Lore reward pays out

currently if you reach floor 7 that's 80 lore.

my FC runs maps every tuesday and we cap on lore rather fast. dont even have to sully our hands with Expert Roulette.

I was thinking it would be pretty cool if they added an Aquapolis type element on the end of Airship Voyages... So your FCs Airship returns with its meh loot as it currently does, but it can also return with a charted path to a special Aquapolis-style island that you can then take on with your FC... Would make what has become a fairly lackluster addition to the game a bit more interesting... Bonus points if we actually get to fly the damn thing too... I'd like it if it was partly RNG for finding the second+ islands, but you're actually riding the Airship during that roll and can influence it slightly with the Airships stats and how you pilot it... Like, give the Airship HP and have it as sort of a race to find and reach subsequent islands, the base stats will help but the pilot can temporarily boost the stats, perhaps the weather gets worse so you either boost Speed to get through it quickly, or Favor to take less damage...

i hope is fun , and rewarding (Gil , food , potions , consumables are always nice to have) , some cool gear sets perhaps? , titles , and ...Edda minion :)

and come 3.4 new tomes...with new sets , add alexander normal gear too , new relic quests....and who knows ....240 will be nothing come 3.4
