@sueblue The tower was nearly 700 items, though the majority of those items were the Clockwork Lamps used as stairs. Were you to approach this build in a more economical manner (this was done for one of @JHartEllis 's contests), you could likely pull off the same tower with far fewer. (Or you could just knock off a level or two -- it'd still be gigantic)
@R_K This tower is absolutely stunning! With just a couple of furnishings you managed to create something so beautiful and epic that my jaw literally dropped. From the grandeur and awe it inspires at the bottom of the tower to the brooding pensiveness it imposes at the top... brilliant build! And what a great use of the proximity based action FX as well!
