It’s also possible to skip multiple levels in one go when upgrading the eggs, getting you to the high quality eggs even faster.

The TERA Team

A mysterious floating island has appeared, bringing with it infernal horrors. Are you the heroes to defend Arborea against this unknown enemy?

Patch 80 is in the starting blocks and comes with various expansions to existing systems. The increased maximum level of 70, skill improvements, new equipment, and much more: in this preview, we provide a brief overview of the most important changes (please note that some names are not final).

Scheduled Patch 80 release date is on Thursday, March 28th.


The road to level 70 offers new challenges and leads you on the trail of a terrible threat: the floating island of Exodor brings destruction and sinister new enemies to the world.

Face these dreadful enemies in familiar regions of Arborea that have been devastated and altered by Exodor’s appearance, and find out what terrible disaster has befallen the airships of the federation.


The road to the new maximum level is a journey that will extend over several days and weeks, lasting considerably longer than the comparatively quick climb for experienced players to level 65. The new BAMs in the devastated areas, for example, are good for gaining experience points and more loot.

Methods of obtaining experience points include:

• Defeating boss monsters in instances
• Hunting BAMs in the open world
• Gathering and crafting
• Fishing

Along with the new character level, there are new skills for each class that you can improve or customize. At level 66, skill advancement is unlocked for your character and you will collect your first Skill Advancement XP, which can be obtained through different activities such as hunting the new BAMs or completing dungeons.

You will receive one SP (Skill Advancement Point) per SP level, which you can use to improve a skill.

Each class has a total of 3 skills that can be upgraded (level 66, 68, 70). In addition, each of them has two skills, for which you can choose one of three specializations (level 67, 69).




Patch 80 opens up two new equipment slots: Relic and Halidom! You will obtain the first pieces of equipment for these slots from quests at level 66.

You can even improve both of them with a bit of gold and other Halidoms and Relics, which can be obtained from dungeons.

In addition, patch 80 allows you to transfer effects from unneeded gear to other equipment. The item with the desired effect is consumed in this procedure and two of its effects are transferred to the target equipment at random.

If you want other effects, you can try again any time. This allows you to further optimize your main gear.




Currently, dungeons are limited to a daily number of entries per dungeon. Patch 80 removes these restrictions and replaces them with a limit of 40 entries per week.

Each dungeon entry now uses Adventurer Coins, which regenerate automatically – regardless of whether you are online or offline.

Instead of the current doubled individual entries per day, TERA Club members will receive 80 weekly entries as well as an increased maximum number and increased regeneration rate of Adventurer Coins.

Please note: Existing Instance Reset Scrolls will become ineffective with this patch. Any remaining scrolls can be exchanged for gold or new Adventurer Coins.

The Rootstock festival is here!
From Tuesday, March 19th (9:00 CET) until Thursday, March 28th (9:00 CET), it's all about fun and games in the country: Play with piglings and give a bale of hay a good kick! 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.

The Pond Faire at the Tuwangi Garrison (from level 20)

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.

Achievements: Ride the Moonsilk Carpet!

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.



We hope you have fun at Rootstock!
