Patch 79 introduces a new battleground, improvements to existing battlegrounds, special PvP gear and more!


New Battleground

Target your enemies, cut through your foes and earn points for victory in the
Shore Hold. Who will win the upper hand on this fast-paced 7v7 battleground?






Equalized Gear

Various battlegrounds have been updated, with the biggest change being that
you’ll receive equalized gear in certain arenas. Your skills make every difference
between victory and defeat!


PvP Gear

Fortunately, not every battleground will use this equalized gear. You can now
take all those hard-earned PvP points and exchange them for new gear. This
stuff not only looks fantastic, but the stats are tuned specially to meet your
PvP needs!






Training Dungeon

Take your gear on a trial run and optimize your damage output! In the training
dungeon, you can fine-tune your combat skills without having the boss breathing
down your neck. All the while you’ll be able to see your DPS and the duration of
combat. To provide more realistic combat situations, the room can also grant
you the usual slew of Priest and Mystic buffs.


More Dungeon Updates

Parting is such sweet sorrow, but it’s time to say farewell to the Harrowhold
and Dreadspire as they close their gates. Take the opportunity to run through
these two dungeons again for old time’s sake. But don’t worry, you’ll have no
time to get sentimental – Velik’s Sanctuary makes a return in this patch, plus
you can take Dakuryon to task again in the Shadow Sanguinary!


The gods have now recognized that you no longer need their help. With your
newly won powers, all classes have now awakened their Apex skills, so this patch
sees the removal of the “Favor of the Goddess” which was designed to balance out
these missing skills in dungeons.

Guardians of Arborea, lend me your ears! From Friday, January 18th at 4 PM until 10 AM on Tuesday, January 22nd, you’ll earn additional rewards for completing missions for the Guardian Legion.

Look forward to the following:

Bonus Reward:

• 15 Equipment EXP
  
• 150 Guardian Legion Reputation Points
  
• 5 Vanguard Initiative Reputation Points
  
• 5 Elleon's Mark of Valour

Details:

• You can receive the bonus rewards up to 40 times per day.
  
• The rewards come in addition to existing rewards.
  
• You receive the bonus reward every time you collect a “reward box”.

Enjoy the event!

Voyage through the dunes of the Batu Desert and discover a zone full of challenges and secret treasures in TERA EU!


The event kicks off when patch 77 drops, and the desert region will remain accessible until the arrival of patch 79. In this preview you can find out what to expect:

• Journey through the Desert – How to Enter the Event Zone
  
• Mysterious Monster Camps – Pick Up the Gauntlet
  
• Dangers in the Dunes – Event Bosses and How to Find Them
  
• Forgotten Treasures – Your Rewards
  
• FAQ/Known Issues

Journey through the Desert – How to Enter the Event Zone

The Batu Desert is riddled with dangers, but it’s a promising location for courageous treasure hunters. You can add players to your group at any time, so it’s possible to start your quest in a 10-player group and later add new players for taking down the event bosses.

• Minimum level: 65
  
• Minimum group size: 5 players
  
• Recommended group size: 20 or more players
  
• Maximum group size: 30 players

• Teleportal in Sietch Bidaum in Colossal Ruins
  
  • Reachable for example via the teleportal in Tulufan
• The Batu Desert teleportal has 2 teleport points
  
  • The top option takes you to the start of the zone
    
  • The bottom option takes you to the middle of the zone
• After your first assault on a monster, there is a 20-minute cooldown until you can enter again
  
• There’s no daily entry limit

Mysterious Monster Camps – Pick Up the Gauntlet
The whole desert is filled with harmless-looking bulls. But don’t let their appearance fool you, as they are possessed by sinister demons which will show themselves as soon as you attack a bull:

• Each bull summons 4 demons when defeated
  
• Each defeated demon increases your victory points by 1
  
• For 100 victory points you receive 20 Charged Energy points

The monsters in the desert have also erected 6 boss camps, designed for 5 or 10-player groups. You can attack the camps with more players to deal with them more quickly, but the rewards are tuned to 5 or 10-player groups. You earn points as soon as the last opponent in a camp has been defeated.

• A camp for 5 players increases your Soul Saturation points by 5.
  
• A camp for 10 players increases your Soul Saturation points by 10.
  
• You can find more details on the individual camps in our overview

If you defeat both the demons and the bosses in the camps, you can face off against the true Lord of the Sands. In order to summon the first event boss, you need:

• 100 Charged Energy points
  
• 100 Soul Saturation points

Dangers in the Dunes – Event Bosses and How to Find Them
The demon plague in the desert has been caused by terrifying monsters – ones that won’t be easily beaten! Once you’ve earned 100 points on the Soul Saturation and Charged Energy bars, the event boss battle starts against the plutonian demon Kaprima from the Dreadspire (EXTREME):

• All boss camps disappear
  
• All group members are teleported to Kaprima

The time starts ticking as soon as the fight begins! You have 15 minutes to remove Kaprima from this world:

• If the time runs out, Kaprima will kill everyone and disappear.
  
• If Kaprima disappears at 0, or the battle resets because he walked too far away from the starting point, he will reappear at the original spawn point after a short time. You can challenge him again… if you dare!
  
• If you manage to defeat Kaprima within 10 minutes (before the time jumps to 5 minutes), you’ll find a second event boss waiting to greet you: Kelsaik from the European EXTREME dungeon Kelsaik’s Storm of Frost!

Forgotten Treasures – Your Rewards
A whole armada of exotic rewards is waiting to be discovered beneath the hot desert sands (and particularly in the demons’ pockets). Get an overview of the possible loot available in this preview, with more details available later in this GoogleDoc.
Complete the hidden Vanguard Initiative quests and defeat Kaprima and Kelsaik and you can pick up the following loot amongst others:

• Batu Effigies
  
  • Can be transformed into rewards chests using Sacrificial Altars

FAQ/Known Issues
Since we are not able to fine-tune everything for our EU-specific dungeons, there are a few known display issues with this event:

• The standard boss health bar will not appear for all opponents
  
• Vanguard Initiative quests only appear once they have been completed. You must close the window after accepting them, as the quests do not disappear automatically
