Back in May 2016, we held the TERADEMY 2016 contest and received some amazing fan-designed creations for flying mounts. European TERA players have proven again how talented they are. Among all submissions, Miineko’s creation was selected as the winner by Bluehole for its originality and unique design.



Today, we would like to introduce you one of the cutest flying mounts in the game, available in two versions: The Moonhopper and the Dreamhopper!

The Moonhopper: Miineko’s original concept – a one-of-a-kind mount!





The Dreamhopper: the rare version in red additional effects: Star Effect when standing on the floor (idle, walking) and Rainbow + Star Effect when Sprinting - unique in TERA so far!





With Patch 56, you’ll get the chance to grab a Moonhopper or a Dreamhopper in game! They will be added to the Oneiric Shop (for Dreamer’s Tokens) the 6[sup]th[/sup] of June, as part of the event “Oneiric Crystals”. Read more about it in this announcement.

The 10 winners of the TERADEMY Contest 2016 will unlock a special achievement "“TERA Lover” and the exclusive title “Terademist”.



On top of that, Miineko will receive the flying mount she created on one character of her choosing.

We are grateful that we were able to hold this contest and we hope that you enjoyed participating in it as much as we enjoyed organizing it. Thanks again to all participants for their fabulous contributions and for making this contest possible in the first place!

Have fun with those new flying mounts!

Birthday Bamarama, Rootstock Festival, Quest Jackpots in Dungeons… Have fun with the events!

• 16th May - 30th May Birthday Bamarama
  
• 16th May - 30th May Rootstock
  
• 16th May - 30th May Quest Jackpots in Dungeons

From 16th May the BAMs will be returning to the arena to fight it out for fame and glory – and you can bet on the victors! Every day between 7 PM and 10 PM there’ll be a new round every 15 minutes in the following lineup:
Event 1:

• Time (PM): 7:00, 7:15, 7:30, 7:45, 8:15, 8:30, 8:45, 9:00, 9:15, 9:30, 9:45
  
• Regular Bamarama with betting and gold tickets

Event 2:

• Time (PM): 8:00, 10:00
  
• Reward: Special chest with large amounts of buff food or enchanting materials

And while you’re waiting for the next Bamarama, why not spend some time at the Rootstock festival?



The Rootstock festival is here! From Tuesday, May 16th until Tuesday May 30th, it's all about fun and games in the country: Play with piglings, give a bale of hay a good kick and bet on epic BAM battles! Visit the festival helpers in all three major cities to teleport to the Fairground or the Tuwangi Garrison – the party starts there!

The Rootstock Fairground (from level 29)

Speak to Melsa at the Fairground and help her cook delicious dishes! She's also selling the Rootstock Teleport Scroll, which you can use to return to her from wherever you are. Dig up Mudroots, turn them into Mudroot Salad, prepare Popped Cobseed and have fun playing great mini-games!

• [Mini-game] Kick-Bale: Speak to Digory on Digory's Farmstead and take part in the Kick-Bale contest! You've got 60 seconds to kick the hay bale away from the two minions. You'll be rewarded with 50 points for each successful kick. If the minions manage to kick the hay bale, you'll lose 15 points. Depending on your score, you'll get rare ingredients as a reward.
  
• [Mini-game] Pigling Rodeo: Speak to Tippani at Filton's Dairy Farm and take part in the Pigling Rodeo! You've got 60 seconds to round up as many piglings as possible into the enclosure. You'll be rewarded with 100 points for each pigling. There's a total of 15 piglings as well as one minion, who will try to take the piglings away. If he succeeds, you'll lose points. Depending on your score, you'll get rare ingredients as a reward.

As a thank-you for helping out on the farm, you'll receive various dishes to boost yourself with useful bonuses such as HP increases, MP restoration, and critical hit rate and attack speed increases.





Similar to the battleground jackpots, there’ll also be a Vanguard Initiative quest each day for dungeons granting you additional rewards:

• 2nd May - 30th May Big Ass Bosses
  
• 2nd May - not planned* Battleground Jackpots
  
• 2nd May - 31st May Special Offer: Wings and Club Membership
