hmm how about
Quest NPC #1 (Outside of the tower/cellar)
- A party leader can talk to this one and get a special quest log entry and book an instance
- Party members can enter the instance but don't get the special quest log entry
- Party members who enter will get a normal quest log entry that states they're on the first 25 floors.
- The instance will last 4 hours
- The instance has a 2 week cooldown entry on launching.
- The instance contains 25 floors
- Beating the MVP on the 25th floor will send you to an in-between room where an NPC will flag your special quest log entry as "complete".
Quest NPC #2 (found in the in-between room)
- Someone with the "completed" quest log entry for the first 25 floors can book an instance here for the next 25 floors.
- Party leader will get a second special quest log entry. The first entry will be deleted.
- Entering the next instance will delete the quest log entry that states you're on floors 1-25, and add an entry stating you're on floors 26-50.
- Starting the second instance will destroy the first one.
- The instance will last 4 hours
- Instance has a 1 week cooldown entry (irrelevant)
- Beating the MVP on the 50th floor will send you to an in-between room where an NPC will flag your special quest log entry as "complete".
Quest NPC #3 (found in the in-between rooms)

- Party leader will get a third special quest log entry. The second entry will be deleted.

Quest NPC #4 (found in the in-between rooms)
- Someone with the "completed" quest log entry for floors 51-75 can book an instance here for the next 25 floors.
- Party leader will get a fourth special quest log entry. The second entry will be deleted.

- Starting the fourth instance will destroy the third one.
- The instance will last 4 hours
- Instance has a 1 week cooldown entry (irrelevant)
- Beating the MVP on the 100th floor will send you to the final room where an NPC will flag your special quest log entry as "complete".
Final Room
- whatever reward for beating the instance is found here, much like the 101th floor on ET.
Quest NPC #1 (Revisiting it)
- If you have the quest log entry for 1-25, it'll send you to the 1st floor.
- If you have the quest log entry for 26-50, it'll send you to the 26th floor.
- If you have the quest log entry for 51-75, it'll send you to the 51st floor.
- If you have the quest log entry for 76-100, it'll send you to the 76th floor.
- If the instance you're trying to get sent to is destroyed, it clears all of your quest log entries except the cooldowns.
- If you have a cooldown (and not an active entry) as a player or party leader, you cannot start an instance
- If you have a cooldown (and not an active entry) as a player or party leader, you cannot join an instance someone else started
WHY you do thing as done ehhhh?/
- Eliminates current ET exploits involving party leader rotation.
- You cannot farm any of the upper floors.
- You can teleport to the most recent quarter of floors without walking up, without having to use ashes or anything dumb like that.
- You have to be there from the beginning to get to the top
- You can take breaks every 25 floors and continue another day if you need to!
- You get 16 hours to run the whole thing, so even amateurs can do it!
- Long cooldown on starting the chain (2 weeks) so its not farmable.
Possible rewards for completing:
Rather than a pair of swords, which is lame for 90% of the classes, and overlaps with the reward from the first ET, the rewards should be more like the cursed swordsman instance (grey shards) where every class can get special gear.

You're right, that's the lore I read! I don't know why, looks like my memory jumbled cuz I was read it long ago.
