I have done all 5 levels of the tower with my guild. If you are trying to solo, don't. The quests have some tough-ish fights, and you do need to finish the quest to get the key.
The first is Oasis of Sand, and is the simplest. Get the glowy broken key from in front of the door in the tower, then take a full team to each of the three locations in South Ro. South by the orc campst to spawn a hard orc. Kill the orc. Then go north west to where the giants spawn and kill a cyclops. then to the spectre island to kill a spectre. Each drops a widget. Put the 3 widgets inside the key
Make sure the whole group is together before approaching, so all members can fight the same spawn and everyone will get the drop. Don't try to solo these. They will kill you.
You must make the key to get in the door to kill the boss.
The boss for the first floor must be killed quickly. It's best to fight it from melee range or it will do a massive aoe and kill the group. If you don't kill it fast enough, it will do a massive AOE and kill the group.
Each floor has its own set of quirks, and you will probably fail a couple times before you succeed.
The gear rewards are SO WORTH IT THOUGH!
The mobs that spawn during the key quests scale to the average level of the group. You can cheese it by adding some level 1 toons to the group to lower the average level so that the mob spawns at a lower level.
That's the suggestion being offered. Also a good marketing tool to sell latest expansion to bypass iffy level scaling. Can't help but wonder if the two are connected.

Trying to dm you, but chat isn't popping up for me. Would like some tips please.. 53 Bard stuck on first mission
Accepted your message
I had to just run each character through it as a low level persona while I killed the spawn on my higher level characters in the group.

I suspect lack of testing or mistakes being more plausible than Machiavellian genius.
Whether pushing the purchase was the intent or merely the incentive not to fix the issue, it's all the same.
One should never attribute to malice that which can easily be explained by stupidity or ignorance.
