Great news: The new Valkyrie class hits our servers in April! From tomorrow onwards you can reserve the name of your choice for a character of this class, and join the adventure with the combative Castanic female as soon as Patch 54 goes live.
How to Reserve Your Name
From Tuesday, 21st March at 7:00 PM, you can set a name for your new character in the overlay displayed on the right side of the screen in the character lobby.
Once you have clicked to confirm your selection, nobody else on this server will be able to use the name you have chosen. But caution: You won't be able to change the name once it has been set, so think carefully about the name you reserve!
Names can be reserved until Monday, 3rd April at 12:00 PM.
Creating a Valkyrie
The current plan is that the new class will be available to play from 4th April, 2017, so you'll be able to create your Valkyrie with the name you reserve following the server maintenance on that day.
Reserved names can be used until 7:55 AM on 18th April – after that the name will once again be available to all other players.
Note: If Patch 54 is postponed a few days, you will be able to use the reserved name on 4th April to create a character for an existing class. However, you will not receive any rewards in this case.
Rewards
You will be rewarded with items for reserving a name and creating a Valkyrie with this name during the event period. Among others, you will receive a coupon for an additional character slot (3-16) and will be able to change your appearance as many times as you like for 24 hours. You will also receive Fashion Coupons and glyph crates.
Further Questions and Answers
Will the number of available character slots be increased?
No, even in Patch 54, the maximum possible number of character slots will not be increased. You can still have up to 16 unlocked slots.
Will I receive the rewards when the event ends no matter what?
No, you will only receive the items if you reserve a name by 3rd April and use it for a Valkyrie by 18th April. Characters whose names have not been reserved or which are created after the end of the said period will not receive any event rewards.
Can I create my Valkyrie in advance?
Unfortunately, it is not possible to create and design your character in advance. The new class will only be available in the game with Patch 54, and from this point onwards new hairstyles, for example, will also be available for Castanic females. Tip: As you will receive a coupon during the event to change your appearance, you will be able to take your time and go back to make adjustments to your character.
Are there any special titles for the new class?
Yes, the Valkyrie can unlock achievements and titles tailored especially for her. One of them, as usual, can only be achieved by one player per server: the first Valkyrie to reach level 65.
Title for the first Valkyrie on the server to reach level 65: Cutting-Edge Valkyrie
An additional event will give a title to all Valkyries that reach level 65 within the first 72 hours of the patch. This title is only awarded once per account.
Title for level 65 within 3 days: Lunar Guardian
Experience Point Scrolls can also be used by the new class.
Is there any more information about the new class?
Our usual preview of the new class including a comprehensive overview of all skills and glyphs is currently planned for 24th March.

This week we'll be putting your knowledge to the test in a new event: Sign up for the OX Quiz, answer tricky questions, and the more you know about the world of TERA, the more prizes you'll win!
To take part in this challenge, you'll need to be agile – both physically and mentally. Decide within seconds whether the statement you're presented with is correct, and quickly move to the right box to choose your answer. All questions can be answered with "Yes" or "No".
Event Details
The event takes place on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, at four different start times:
Start 7:00 PM – Registration from 6:40 PM
Start 8:00 PM – Registration from 7:40 PM
Start 9:00 PM – Registration from 8:40 PM
Start 10:00 PM – Registration from 9:40 PM
Each start time and each event will contain different questions and the questions will be in a different order, of course. You can participate in the quizzes from level 50 and above.
Once you have registered for an event, you will be teleported to the arena. Here you will have to wait for the questions to begin. 10 channels of 50 players each can participate in each event – a total of 500 players per event. Each player can participate in a maximum 3 OX quizzes per day.
How It Works
At each of the specified times, a window will appear in the game showing when the next quiz is starting and the subject of the questions.
Once you have registered, you will be teleported to the arena in Velika. You will have to wait the remaining time here until the event begins.
Each quiz round will start on the hour. From now on, your task is to read the questions carefully and then to move to the correct box.
If you agree with the statement, move to the large rectangle marked with an O. If you think the statement is false, head for the box with an X.
After a few seconds your thinking time is up, and the system will assess who is standing in which box. A message will tell you who was right!
More Information
Please note that the language the questions are asked in depends on the server. That means that the questions on Killian and Mystel are asked in English, while German is used on Yurian, and French on Seren.
All players in the arena are dressed as pink pigs and cannot use any skills for the duration of the quiz round.
If you answer a question incorrectly, you will be teleported from the area to the stands.
Rewards are given in accordance with the following rules:
Certain questions will grant special rewards. If answering a question correctly wins you a reward, it will be sent to your mailbox.
At the end of the quiz, you will be shown how many questions you answered correctly and which items you received in reward.

The delivery of rewards may take several minutes. Repeatedly switching characters on the same server may cause problems with the delivery of rewards.
Additional information:
During this event, new and existing characters can get the mentioned rewards but keep in mind it’s only once per server: If your character A gets rewards 35 and 50, your character B can still get rewards 2 ~ 20, as well as 60 ~ 65, but no longer 35 and 50 on the same server
Level Rewards are send via "Item Claim" only
