Make the catch of a lifetime: fishing is coming to Arborea in patch 77! Using the new system, you can catch rare fish, earn cold hard cash and prepare invigorating meals with the new cookery profession. Plus the crafting and gathering system gets an overhaul in this update.



Gone Fishin’

You can get your first taste of fishing with a quest line which leads you to Waining in Highwatch. He and his assistants will teleport you in sequence to some of the 6 fisheries around Arborea, which you can also discover yourself. On your travels you’ll learn everything you need to know about fishing.



The fishing locations are:

• Vexatus Swamp
  
• Cutthroat Harbor
  
• Seren’s Garden
  
• Muricai
  
• Lake of Tears
  
• Celsian Lake

You can identify fishing locations from the fish symbol on the map. You’ll see the fish teeming around in the water where you can get to work.







The Right Tools for the Job

Any budding fisherman needs a rod and some bait to get started. The better your fishing gear, the greater your chances of bagging larger and rarer fish. You can buy new rods and bait, as well as upgrade your rod, using Angler Tokens which can be earned when fishing.

At present there are 42 species of fish in Arborea’s waters, divided up into ten different ranks, with the largest and most valuable species being called “Big-Ass Fish”.




Good Fishing!

Right-click on some bait to get started. The glowing outline indicates that this particular type of bait is being used. Then stand at a fishing spot and use the fishing rod to start your catch!

• Wait until you get a bite
  
• Hold the action button (default: F) to pull in your line
  
• Try to keep the fish symbol in the zone indicated until the fish has been caught

If you don’t react to fish biting for 3 minutes, you enter the automatic fishing mode. Your character will then continue landing fish for you, but the very best catches can only be caught in manual mode.



Great Haul! Now What?

Members of the Fishing Association will buy fish from you up to three times a day. You can using refining to bundle multiple fish into Fish Crates which can also be sold for hard cash. To deliver your goods, open the Association Fishmonger’s shop window and select what you want to sell from your inventory.

Fish gradually rot over time, so it’s best not to try storing them – not only will the fish disappear from your inventory after a certain period, but your other things will stink to high heaven! Instead, use up your unsold fish with the new cooking ability, chopping the fish up into fillets and preparing delicious dishes with them.




Hardworking crafting fans can get their teeth into new challenges when patch 77 drops. All crafting professions have been reworked, redundant designs removed, and new ways added for you to put those crafting talents to good use.

Alchemy

All the designs which have become obsolete over time have now been removed from the game. In their place, you’ll have the ability to craft powerful potions such as the Rejuvenation Potion. The alchemist’s new repertoire now even includes dyes and various additives which increase the bonus rate of other crafting skills.

Refining (Previously Weaponcrafting)

Since handcrafted weapons have gradually lost their importance over time, this new crafting skill focuses on refining metals. As before, this includes making Golden Talents (now in greater volumes) as well as refining metals and crafting tools for gathering.

Processing (Previously Armorcrafting)

Just as with weapons, the fine art of armorcrafting has become old hat. The new processing skill is focused on crafting Silver Talents, similarly in larger quantities, as well as producing fishing bait and silexes for the other crafting professions.

Etching

After the patch, etchers will no longer produce complete etchings but rather powder, grit, sand and dust. These serve as a currency in exchange shops where you can pick up the etchings you desire.

The advantage is that you no longer need to know the exact name of the etching you want. Simply browse the shop to see all the etchings for a particular level. Level III etching powder can be used as the currency for all level III weapon and glove etchings, for example.

Cooking

With this new crafting profession you can prepare tasty meals to give you a boost in combat, or give you an edge in other crafting skills. Fish provide the basis for many of the meals, and you can catch these yourself.

Gathering

Some gathering materials have been replaced with new ones. Mushrooms used in certain cooking recipes can now be collected, for example. Gathering now consumes fewer production points than before.
In addition, you can accelerate your gathering speed with gathering tools. These tools can also be upgraded so you can gather materials even faster!

Adventurer! The Wintera Messenger invites you to wild snowball fights on the Wintera Snowfield!

Wrap up warm and pay him a visit in Velika between Tuesday, 4th December 2018 and Friday, 4th January 2019!
Get ready for some frosty fun!



Register for the Wintera Snowfield via Battleground Matching (from level 11* and max. 10 times a day). You face each other in groups of 10 players and hurl snowballs at each other. While you are on the Wintera Snowfield, the amount of HP players have is the same for everyone. Class-specific skills can't be used there either – instead, everything revolves around your skill at throwing snowballs!
The aim is to eliminate all of the opposing team's players or have more surviving players at the end of the round. When the round is over, you'll receive a Snowfield Trophy (40 for each player on the winning team, 20 for each player on the losing team). These can be exchanged for wintry items.

Use these skills to fight the opposing team:

• Normal Snowballs, which can be collected from the ground. (Left-click to use.)
  
• Giant Snowballs, which have to be charged up and can hit several players. (Hold down the right mouse button for a few seconds.)
  
• Sticky Snowballs, which reduce your enemies' movement speed. (Press shortcut key 1 to use.)
  
• Iceballs, which stun your enemies for a short time. (Press shortcut key 2 to use.)

Get boosting skills, such as damage-absorbing scrolls or potions for life recovery. Grab blue boxes on the Winter Snowfield and destroy them to charge up one of these skills. Use them by pressing shortcut key 3 (potion for life recovery) or shortcut key 4 (damage-absorbing scroll).

Exchange your Snowfield Trophies for these fantastic items:

• White & Black Kitty Hat
  
• Honey Bear Cap & Froggy Cap
  
• Santa Suit (Permanent)
  
• Jeweled Fur Hat, White Earmuffs
  
• Ushanka, Blue Bobble Hat
  
• Star of Bethlehem, Hairbells
  
• Riding Skill: Wintera Kumas & Snowbite
  
• Snowsuit (Permanent)
  
• Santa Cap,
  
• Red Rudolf Hairband, Brown Rudolf Hairband
  
• Wintera Scarf, which transforms you into a green snowman.
  
• Hot Cocoa, Double Scoop Ice Cream Cone, Smooth Smoothie
  
• … and much more!

We'd like to wish you lots of fun on the Wintera Snowfield! Immerse yourself in the white winter wonderland and snow your opponents under!

Keep your eyes peeled for more news on our website over the coming days and weeks – we have more events lined up for December, such as an exciting Santa hunt!

The TERA Team

*Note: Players below level 30 cannot join the Wintera Snowfield via the battleground matching system directly. Instead they need to join in a group together with a player above level 30.

The Advent season is upon us, and where would we be without an Advent calendar? Head on into the game each day to find out what great surprise is waiting for you.

Simply open the TERA Shop in the game and collect your daily gift each day from 1st to 24th December. Please note that the Advent Calendar will only be displayed in the shop when opened from within the game. It is not visible from the website.


How It Works

The calendar in the shop has 24 segments, one for each day. Each segment contains an item which you can collect for free.

Should you miss a gift, you won’t be able to collect it on the following day. Each gift is only available when you collect it on that day – so make sure you check out the calendar daily!


Don’t miss this great opportunity to pick up loads of cool free items!

Enjoy the run-up to Christmas,

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.




Help the Tuwangi hunt dragons, roast dragon meat and craft drums! An avid researcher is waiting for you at the Tuwangi Garrison, offering a Pond Faire Teleport Scroll, which you can use to return to him from wherever you are.

• [Mini-game] Drum Away
  
  Speak to Kukuta at the Burning Frog Altar and take part in Drum Away! Colored frogs will come at you for 60 seconds. Beat the matching colored drums to prevent the frogs from reaching you. If a blue frog comes too close to you, beat the blue drum to make it turn back. The Tuwangi will give you rewards including colorful frog pets and flutes that raise the attack power of your entire party.

New achievements are available for the Rootstock festival. Once you have completed them all, you'll unlock the "Eat! Drink! Cook! Enjoy Rootstock!" achievement and you'll be rewarded with an ephemeral Moonsilk Carpet!
You'll get a permanent Moonsilk Carpet by completing the "Now All I Need Is a Lamp" achievement. This is possible if you completed the "Shouldn't a Festival Be More...Festive?" achievements during the Festival of the Sun.
