Big events are casting their shadows ahead: the patch largely clears up instances in Arborea: the dungeon chaos of levels 65 to 70 will be cleaned up to give new players a better overview of how to reach the maximum level. Many existing dungeon will be adapted simultaneously so they are made more challenging – and lucrative – for level 70 players.

The battleground rewards will also be adjusted. For example: PvP specialists can get individualized titles of their choosing!




Instead of having both a normal and a hard mode per instance, most dungeons will have only one difficulty level each as of this update. There will be different rewards depending on the difficulty.


For dungeons below level 65, nothing changes. Starting at level 65, the group dungeons listed below will offer better loot. Solo dungeons will remain the same but with updated loot so you can also receive enchanting material for the new Exodor scout equipment.


Instead of running many different instances to get at a few items, you can now take on a smaller number of dungeons with bigger rewards. Level 70 boss monsters have been adjusted as part of the balancing to offer a more reasonable challenge. If you beat them, you can expect more plentiful loot than before.

Bonus chance of rare items: in addition to the loot possibilities above, there is a chance of finding Arborea’s Breath Box as a jackpot item in each dungeon!
If you obtain the box, you’ll find a token inside which you can exchange for rare items, for example a Superior Halidom V, a Superior Relic V or a scroll which guarantees to improve an equipment item by +1!

You can also expect changes in Arborea’s battlegrounds: with the update, players receive more gold for each respective Vanguard Initiative quest. At the same time, the prices for purchasing Arborea tokens and plates are massively reduced. They’ll cost you 90% fewer credits!
The merchant also has new items in stock for improving Exodor equipment in exchange for Bellicarium credits.
But that’s not all: there is a new reward for players in first place in the season rankings!

Each player in first place in Corsairs' Stronghold and Shore Hold will receive a new trophy. You can either be sold for 250,000 Gold or collected. For 6 trophies you can request a personalised title: in this case, please contact our customer support about your desired title. After a standard review of whether the title is acceptable and not already taken, your personal title will be passed on to our developers for a future patch. It may take a few weeks or several months until the title is available. As soon as it’s ready, it will be given to you exclusively!


Exodor scout equipment
As hinted at in the dungeon changes, there will be a new equipment type: Exodor scout equipment!
This equipment for level 65 should allow players to start their journey to level 70 without having to resort to using different older equipment sets.
Exodor scout equipment can be obtained via the Apex quests at level 65. It can be upgraded to +10 relatively quickly using the new enchanting materials in the instances, which is approximately on par with superior equipment +0.
From then on, you should be at around level 70 and can hunt for superior equipment.

Enchantment Made Easy
Besides the new equipment there are also improvements for the enchanting of existing items – the probability of successfully enchanting an item has been massively increased between +0 and +10. Simultaneously, the probability that the item will be damaged has been lowered. An Overview:

Uncommon / rare equipment +0 to +10
* Greatly increased chance of success
* Item cannot be damaged
* Increased cost of Dark Shard Weapon & Armor Feedstock

Uncommon / rare equipment +10 to +15
* Increased chance of success
* Reduced chance of downgrade and damage

Superior equipment +0 to +10
* Greatly increased chance of success
* Item cannot be damaged
* Increased cost of Dark Shard Weapon & Armor Feedstock

Complete missions, fill your Battle Pass and unlock different reward levels – earn recognition for your dungeon runs, cooking and other skills in this event!

Complete different missions each day and earn Battle Points in reward. You can take your BP to Master Iaito in Highwatch and exchange them for ever better reward chests, up to the fabulous Ultimate Chest.

Whoever successfully completes the season will get a Lethal Intent Potion from the final rewards chest. This can be used repeatedly for 30 days to produce a magical and sinister fog effect around you.


Event Period

Start: 10th March 2020 at 9:00 AM

End: 7th April 2020 at 9:00 AM


Now Improved

Based on your feedback from the first season, we’ve made the following improvements and bug fixes:

• The [Battle Pass] Gold Key will now be provided in a tradeable chest which can be passed on
• The [Battle Pass] Key Grinder now provides the correct amount of BP (100,000)
• Added missions for the new dungeons
• You also get a daily ticket for selecting a battleground mission
• Added a new battleground mission

Starting Missions

Each day you’ll receive a mission briefing one minute after logging in for the first time. This will contain 4 random dungeon missions, one random solo mission, one crafting mission, plus a ticket for a battleground or dungeon mission of your choice. Each mission is embodied by an item in your inventory which will remain in your possession for up to 12 hours.

You can receive additional missions at the weekend for your time online; during the week you’ll receive extra Battle Points instead.


Completing Missions

To complete a dungeon mission, you require a token from the respective dungeon. Each final boss will drop one token per party member, i.e. you’ll need to complete the dungeon just once. Collect your token from the boss and then right-click to complete the mission. You’ll earn BP in reward. The same applies for battleground missions.

Solo missions can be completed in the same way. In this case, however, you earn the tokens from Vanguard Initiative quests instead of from the dungeon boss.

Right-clicking on crafting missions opens a window in which you’ll need to drag the amount of silex, meals or plates. Once you’ve done that, the mission will be complete and you’ll receive your BP.


Rewards

The BP you earn can be converted into reward chests from Iaito in Highwatch. Each chest (with exception of the Ultimate Chest) contains a reward and returns the BP used to open it. That means your BP level remains unchanged and you don’t have to start back from scratch after each chest. You can only receive each chest once.

Iaito also has a selection of golden reward chests available. These work exactly the same as the regular reward chests, except that you need a [Battle Pass] Gold Key from the TERA Shop to open them. This key will open all the golden reward chests without being consumed, so you only need the one key to open all the chests.

Once you’ve collected all the rewards, you can convert your BP into an Ultimate Key, unlocking further bonuses. More details can be found further below.


Inside the Reward Chests

• [Battle Pass] Reward I: 3x Superior Noctenium Refiner
• [Battle Pass] Reward II: Black Fedora
• [Battle Pass] Reward III: 24x Refined Duranium Ore
• [Battle Pass] Reward IV: 3x Astonishing Steamed Kirash + 3x Refreshing Steamed Kirash
• [Battle Pass] Reward V: 10x Legacy Essence
• [Battle Pass] Reward VI: Crazy Crustacean
• [Battle Pass] Reward VII: 5x Pet Candy
• [Battle Pass] Reward VIII: 5x Emerald
• [Battle Pass] Reward IX: 100x Dark Shard Armor Feedstock
• [Battle Pass] Reward X: 5x Liquid Exollusion
• [Battle Pass] Reward XI: TERA Club Membership (3 Days)
• [Battle Pass] Reward XII: 50x Dark Shard Weapon Feedstock
• [Battle Pass] Reward XIII: 1x [Battle Pass] Underwear Coupon
• [Battle Pass] Reward XIV: Lethal Intent Potion (30 Days)

Inside the Golden Reward Chests

• [Battle Pass] Gold Reward I: Bandit Headband
• [Battle Pass] Gold Reward II: 50x Azart Token
• [Battle Pass] Gold Reward III: 1x Companion List Expansion (5 Slots)
• [Battle Pass] Gold Reward IV: Care and Use of Your Pet Magus Imperator Dakuryon (large potion below 50% HP)
• [Battle Pass] Gold Reward V: 48x Refined Duranium Ore
• [Battle Pass] Gold Reward VI: 20x Improved Dark Shard Armor Feedstock
• [Battle Pass] Gold Reward VII: Smart Box: Heavy Metal Star (Permanent)
• [Battle Pass] Gold Reward VIII: 2x Adventure Coin (1,200)
• [Battle Pass] Gold Reward IX: 15x Improved Dark Shard Weapon Feedstock
• [Battle Pass] Gold Reward X: 1x Meruma’s Dream Hairstyle
• [Battle Pass] Gold Reward XI: Smart Box: Porphyry Weapon Skin
• [Battle Pass] Gold Reward XII: 150x Refined Duranium Ore
• [Battle Pass] Gold Reward XIII: 25x Trade Chest: Card Fragment Random Box (Uncommon)
• [Battle Pass] Gold Reward XIV: Flying Skill: Chimeric Aerotron

The Ultimate Key

You can still receive bonus rewards after opening all the reward chests by converting your BP into an Ultimate Key. This can be used to open Ultimate Chests which Iaito will give you for 1,000 BP.

Just like the Gold Key, the Ultimate Key is not consumed on use, so you can continue opening chests as long as you have enough BP. Each Ultimate Chest contains 100 Ultimate Coupons which can be exchanged for awesome bonus rewards. Owners of a Gold Key get an extra bonus, as they can also open the box inside each Ultimate Chest containing another 100 coupons.

If you convert your BP into an Ultimate Key too early – meaning that Iaito still has unopened reward chests for you – he can give you a Key Grinder which will break your Ultimate Key back down into the full amount of BP.


Event Items in the Tikat Shop

If you want to make the most of the event, you can visit the Tikat Shop and buy 300 BP or [Battle Pass] Selection Dungeon Tickets to get more missions to complete.


Note

• We plan to change the number and difficulty of dungeons in the season. When this happens, the event will be altered (e.g. changing the amount of BP which dungeon missions provide).
• The items belonging to the current season will be deleted before the next season starts, so please use them before this time. This does not affect rewards received (e.g. Ultimate Coupons).

New Gear

Mythical Gear

Reports have come through that a new breakthrough has been made in Muhrak’s Workshop in Habere – for the first time in the history of Arborea, ‘Mythical’ (purple) gear has been crafted!

Upgrade Equipment

Combine materials from the Corrupted Skynest with weapons, chest armor, gloves, and shoes of Annihilation or Dark Light to transform them into even more powerful gear! Here’s what you’ll get:

• Annihilation Gear becomes Kaia’s Nightmare Gear
• Dark Light Gear becomes Kaia’s Gear of Wisdom
• Eternal Annihilation Gear becomes Kaia’s Gear of Rage
• Eternal Dark Light Gear becomes Kaia’s Gear of Intelligence
  So you can upgrade both the tradeable version of the gear with up to 3 random options and the non-tradeable version to mythical level.

Enhancement Materials

The transformation costs vary depending on the catalyst you use – this can be Dark Mana Essence or existing Heroic Oath gear. Whichever path you choose, the transformation is always 100% successful!
Weapons


Chest Armor


Gloves


Shoes



Notes on Enhancement

The catalyst, existing equipment, and all materials are consumed in this process. You will receive the corresponding mythical gear in return.

A mythical item has the same enchantment level and random options are the Annihilation/Dark Light gear previously had.


Benefits of Mythical Gear

First of all, the new gear looks amazing – mythical weapons glitter with a new visual effect when they’ve been enchanted, and all the gear is surrounded by a magical glow.

The basic stats of physical and magical support are increased. Additionally, the equipment items receive the Kaia’s Judgment effect, which has a set probability of weakening the hit opponent. The debuff reduces their Crit Resist Factor by 25 and Magical Resistance by 2,000. The effect is not cumulative with that of Azart Mark.

In addition, the Wisdom and Nightmare weapons have special passive effects:

• Kaia’s Will: Lancers deal more damage against enraged monsters and generate 50% more aggro against them.
• Kaia’s Will: Brawlers deal more damage against enraged monsters and generate 50% more aggro against them. The aggro effect is not applied if you have activated the refinement for Growing Fury [Anomalous].
• Kaia’s Will: Priests and Mystics deal 20% more healing on players below 40% HP. They also deal 5% more damage against enraged monsters
• Kaia’s Challenge: All other classes deal 5% more damage as long as they have more than 80% HP

New Weapon Skins

You can loot exclusive items in the Kelsaik dungeons for changing the appearance of your weapons.

Craft a permanent weapon skin using two new weapon blueprints and other materials from the dungeon, adorning your weapon with a fiery or icy memento of your victory against Kelsaik!

Your path to the weapon skin:

• Obtain a weapon blueprint in the dungeon as random (rare) loot. This will contain a blueprint to match your class.
• At the same time, you can collect various other materials as these are also available from Kelsaik (in a higher quantity and with a higher probability).
• Once you have all the required items, you can right-click on the blueprint to create the permanent weapon skin.

For an ice weapon you need:

• 40x Shivering Left Toenail of Cold
• 80x Blazing Ice Shard
• 1x Weapon Blueprint of Cold

For a fire weapon you need:

• 40x Searing Right Toenail of flames
• 80x Blazing Ice Shard
• 1x Weapon Blueprint of Flames

Interesting: If you get really lucky you might even receive a Kelsaik’s Weapon of Cold or Flames Crate containing the finished weapon skin – and the crate can even be traded!

Head out on a treasure hunt and hoover up the loot! During the event you’ll find Unstable Treasure Shard in all party dungeons from level 65. This of course includes the new dungeons from patch 91, the Corrupted Skynest and Forbidden Arena.



The more difficult the dungeon, the more shards you’ll earn. All shards drop as party loot, so every player will receive the full amount. These treasure shards can be used to unlock great rewards such as adventure coins, buffing foods, feedstock and more.

• Start: 25th February 2020 at 9:00 AM
  
• End: 21st April 2020 at 9:00 AM

**[Event] Unstable Treasure Shards** are available until 9:00 AM on 21st April 2020. They will be removed from the game at 9:00 AM on 28th April 2020.

The **Adventure Coins (200)** from the token shop are available until 9:00 AM on 28th April 2020. They will be removed from the game at 9:00 AM on 19th May 2020.

The long-awaited upgrade to mythical gear, multiple new instances and the return of Kelsaik – patch 91 arrives packed with thrilling new contents for TERA! Here’s what you can look forward to in the new update! Please note that some names in this preview are subject to change and may differ in the final release.


Kelsaik’s Refuge

You can enter Kelsaik’s Refuge via a teleportal on an island near the Berak Fortress. The quest can be accepted in the Federation Reliquary Station on Exodor.

You hardly need cross the threshold before realising that something isn’t right – a horde of argons await your arrival, while the skies blacken with mournwings. Do you have the guts to take on this corrupted deity?

You can enter the dungeon in a 5-player group up to 5 times per week (10 times for Club members). If you can get the better of Kelsaik, you can collect materials for mythical gear. The recommended item level is 461, and each entry costs 220 adventure coins.


Kelsaik’s Refuge (Hard)

This is the toughest nut in the new update! With the recommended item level set at a whopping 480, this is the new king of the dungeons. As with the regular version, you can take on Kelsaik up to 5 times per week (or 10 times as a Club member).

Aside from looting materials for improving your gear, you can also pick up exclusive items for changing the appearance of your weapons. Craft a permanent weapon skin using two new weapon blueprints and certain required items, adorning your weapon with a fiery or icy memento of your victory against Kelsaik!


Forbidden Arena

The Forbidden Arena in the Sienna Canyon is a test for characters above level 69 and an item level above 461. The arena was once Killian’s favourite haunt, a place where he would amuse himself watching bloody spectacles, to which purpose he created an immortal champion…

This instance can likewise be entered 5 times weekly (10 times for Club members) for 220 adventure coin.

A brand-new brooch is amongst the loot on offer, which can either be prised from the boss’ hands directly, or exchanged for tokens which you can loot and collect.




Mythical

Reports have come through that a new breakthrough has been made in Muhrak’s Workshop in Habere – for the first time in the history of Arborea, ‘Mythical’ (purple) gear has been crafted!

The previous ‘Legendary’ (gold) limit has finally been broken, giving all adventurers the opportunity to increase their strength! The only things you need are the materials from Kelsaik’s Refuge, plus an Annihilation/Dark Light item to enhance (weapon, chest armor, gloves or shoes).

The new gear looks amazing, and mythical weapons even glitter with a new visual effect when they’ve been enchanted!

Plus they have certain special passive effects:

* Lancers deal more damage against enraged monsters and generate 50% more aggro against them

* Brawlers deal more damage against enraged monsters and generate 50% more aggro against them (exception: Growing Fury)

* Priests and Mystics deal 20% more healing on players below 40% HP. They also deal 5% more damage against enraged monsters

* All other classes deal 5% more damage as long as they have more than 80% HP


The following item types can be upgrade from legendary to mythical:

* Annihilation Gear

* Dark Light Gear

* Eternal Annihilation Gear

* Eternal Dark Light Gear



The following items are required in differing amounts for enhancing your gear. The amount required depends on the catalyst used.

* Diamonds

* Golden Plates

* Silver Plates

* Dark Magic Stone (from Kelsaik’s Refuge)

* Dark Shard Crystal (from Kelsaik’s Refuge)



In order to upgrade a legendary item into a mythical one, you require an item to upgrade, the materials listed above, plus a catalyst. The amount of materials you need will depend upon the type of catalyst used.

Dark Mana Essence (from Kelsaik’s Refuge)

Dark Mana Essence is devised as a replacement for those who don’t own any Heroic Oath gear, and as a result this catalyst has the highest costs.

Heroic Oath Gear

The better your Heroic Oath gear’s enchantment (+0 to +3), the lower the costs of enhancement.


You’ll find a more detailed list of the costs available soon in the patch notes.

Dear community,

We would like to inform you about a future change in the system requirements for TERA that will most likely be applied this summer in our regions (Europe & SEA).

As was already announced in Korea, from that point on TERA will no longer run on 32-bit operating systems and the client will instead only be optimized for 64-bit systems. If you are still playing on a 32-bit OS and would like to keep playing TERA please consider upgrading your OS in the next few months.

While this change will improve the performance of the game in certain areas, there will not be any graphical improvements.​

Once there are further details about this change such as a fixed release date, we will inform you with an official announcement on our channels.
