TL;DR:

- Must complete Alexander (Normal) and Minstrel's Ballad (Ultima Hard) to enter. Quest starts via Minstrel.
- Uses the old binding coil entry system (enter via NPC, progress is saved, each "floor" once per week)
- Uses the old second coil helping system (can re-enter a turn to help but chests won't appear)
- Uses the old binding coil loot system (gear drops per turn)
- Each floor you complete per week will also give every player a token. Enough tokens can be traded for gear you otherwise didn't win/didn't drop. Unknown how many.

It's basically Coil 3.0. Likely to be the same bosses but with crazier mechanics e.g. Second Coil Savage.

Does this token system mean that scrubs can just clear the first floor each week and eventually have the gear which drops from the fourth floor???

If they did this with a lick of sense it'll be something like Page 1, Page 2 etc for gear from each step rather than a straight token setup.
