The Dreadspire returns – more challenging, more unnerving and harder than ever before! The cult dungeon opens its doors with Patch 71, which hits our servers on 12th July. To make things really exciting, there are additional events and rewards for you on our servers.

First Party to Beat Floor 5

As you know, competition is good for business – who will complete the new challenge fastest? The first party on each server to successfully complete the 5th floor of the Dreadspire will receive an extra reward!

Favor of the Goddess

For our region of Europe, as with other difficult instances, we’re adding an additional buff for the Dreadspire. During the first days you will receive the Favor of the Goddess, and the even stronger Illuminating Favor of the Goddess later on. This will allow you to first try out the normal balancing before the difficulty of the dungeon is adjusted to our region with the stronger buff.

Additional Loot in Europe

In addition to the loot listed in the patch notes, there will also be additional regional rewards for the dungeon.

You’ll find the details in this Google spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tTAfnKYL8Dwx04BLBe52jGsrBofOlXtbF4ariURgzlM/edit?usp=sharing
We hope you all enjoy the Dreadspire!

The TERA Team

The clock is ticking – are you ready for the ultimate race against time? From Thursday, 12th July, patch 71 challenges you with two additional instances and legendary Guardian Legion missions!
There’s also the Festival of the Sun and many more events.


This challenge really packs a punch: Fight your way through 10 floors full of brutal bosses in the new version of the Dreadspire. The time pressure is immense and the fight to survive becomes more merciless with every floor. Only the very strongest can prove themselves under these conditions!

• For 5-player groups
  
• 1 daily entry, 2 for club members
  
• Shown in the ranking

Failures and Entries

If you fail a dungeon attempt, you will have to reset the instance and start from the beginning (as a TERA Club member you have 2 daily entries).

A dungeon attempt will be deemed a failure and thus over if one of the following occurs:

• Your party has no survivors left (“wipe”)
  
• You do not manage to kill a boss within 10 minutes
  
• You fail an important boss mechanic

Ranking

Your rank is made up of the total time required and the floor you were able to complete successfully.

• So, if you defeat the first boss in 5 minutes and the second one in 8 minutes, your rank will say “Boss 2 defeated, 13 minutes in total”

Loot

The new Dreadspire rewards keen adventurers with various items – including the Helmet and Armor of Illusion, the exclusive new costume set!
On each floor you’ll also have the chance to obtain various items.

Note: In addition to the listed rewards, there will also be regional loot. We’ll also fortify you with regional buffs for this special challenge. You’ll receive the details in a separate announcement.
