__NOTOC__
<!-- Using NOTOC to keep the top of the article clean as long as the page is not too long... -->{{DUNGEON infobox| name = Kur Tower| connects = [[File:Kur Tower Mountains]], [[Necromancer's Courtyard]]| arealevel= 50| pmapdesc= Map by BetaNotus (entrance5/19).jpg|thumb|right|300px|}}[[Kur Tower]]''(also refered as the 'Kur Tower'Necromancer Lair'' (also affectionately known as "farmville" in the alphapatch notes) is a high level dungeon found in the freezing Kur Mountains. Fire damage is quite effective, while Cold, Poison and Trauma damage are usually ineffective. Loot wise, unlike lower level dungeons where good items seem to drop mainly from named creatures (eg. Agalpa in [[Goblin Dungeon]]), higher tier weapons and armor is more frequently found from random foes.
The dungeon respawn rate is full of undead. It can be somewhat "farmed" by a little high level players with AOE skills, but it's at least possible to make some headway from the entrance unlike [[Boarded up Basement]].
==Points of Interest== ==Tips=Hallways===* Fire The halls are full of dangerous undead. '''Preserved Corpses''' have low armour and seem easy to defeat at first, however they are a dangerous threat in numbers because they will stack ''heavy poison damage is over time'' on you with their rage attack. '''Corpse Keepers''' are also quite effectivedangerous as they use ranged cold attacks and can freeze you in place. ====Coffin Rooms (top level)====After the first bend at the end of the entrance hallway will be two small rooms down a flight of stairs, to your left. Note that Ice Slicks in these side rooms will aggro without line of sight as you approach. If you have trouble with them you may have to pull them back to the entrance hallway. The stairs lead down small rooms with coffins and skeletons (the harmless kind). The skeletons can be looted for skulls, used in [[Phrenology]], Bone Meal, Broken Necklaces, etc. but also the occasional Ancient Gold Coin. {{Hint|Those earn a lot of favor with Ukorga in Kur Mountains.}} Necromancer's Goblet (quest item) spawns in this room.* Cold====Cells, Poison Glajur (top level)====[[Glajur]] has been left behind by an expedition of goblins. He has a keen interest in [[Phrenology]] and Trauma damage will teach it provided you are fluent in Goblinese (40). Raise favor with him by gifting all the ''Impressive'' skulls found in the dungeon, and keep the other skulls for the Phrenology recipes. If you just want to talk to him, it's possible to run quickly past enemies to the back of the room. Climb up the stairs, and down again in the water and stand at the far back next to the well. Some enemies may pursue you all the way and hit once or twice, but usually ineffectivethey will turn back (might have to do with the line of sight). With both players running to Glajur, and players who use the cells as a safe spot to pull enemies, it is not unusual to be victim of a "train" (an term from classic EverQuest). That is, the chasing enemies will "aggro" any bystanders. This is allowed by the game mechanics, so don't be angry at the other player(s) and remember it's fairly easy to get back there.
==Points of Interest==In the cells jars can sometime be looted for ''Ambient Magic Sponges'', which are worth a good bit and can stack.
====Coffin RoomsShelves====Stairs lead down small rooms with coffins and skeletons (Use the harmless kind)targetting key to search the shelves... The skeletons can an Ancient Gold Coin could be looted for skulls, used in [[Phrenology]].easily missed!
====Glajur's RoomWell (one-way exit)====At the back of the room Just behind [[Glajur]] is a one-way only exit through a well that appears to lead outside the dungeon (takes you back to Kur Mountains. You will be confirmed). {{Hint|It's possible to run quickly past enemies to in the back freezing water southwest of Kur Mountains, so you may want to reach the room where the well is and they will eventually stop chase.}} Found in this room's cells are ''Maggoty Hams''shore as quickly as possible.
====Green Pillars(top level)====
Unknown function as of writing.
==NPCs==Basement Level====Striga Drainers, Shaman, and [[Keerla]] inhabit the branched, brick corridors of the basement level. ====The Ice Wall and Beyond====After navigating the corridors in the basement, the player will reach a magical wall of ice. In order to disable the wall and pass through, the player must be holding the scroll on which is written an [[Ice Bypass Spell]], obtained from the quest [[Into the Kur Tower]] (note that this is only required one time per character). Heading up the stairs, the player emerges to a seemingly-impossible space featuring a seemingly temperate climate, dilapidated ruins, a massive bell, and a large stone complex that seems to hover in the air. This is the [[Necromancer's Courtyard]].
