Great news from Arborea! Patch 93 will be hitting our servers before TERA’s 8th Anniversary. From 28th April, you’ll be able to explore the update and – most importantly – your newfound strength: your skills now scale with the stats appropriate to your class.
Most of your abilities will be adapted without any input from you. However, if you want an additional stat boost from the new passives, you’ll have to learn them first. Here are all the details about the update. Please note that some names are subject to change and may differ in the final release.



You can now find exact numbers in the description texts of skills. This allows healers, for example, to see how many hit points they can heal with their skills based on their current stats.
Physical penetration, magic penetration, ignore physical resistance and ignore magic resistance stats have been added to all character profiles.



Below is an overview of the new passives and changes to existing skills.

Lancer


Brawler



Priest


Mystic


Slayer


Reaper


Warrior


Gunner


Archer


Ninja


Berserker


Sorcerer


Valkyrie



The Vanguard Initiative quests for battlegrounds will offer additional rewards:
* Corsairs’ Stronghold, Shore Hold: 2x Victory Emblem
* Underground Battlepit: 1x Victory Emblem

15 Victory Emblems can be converted into 1 Victory Insignia. Victory Insignias can be exchanged for rewards from Berel in Velika and Highwatch. These include:
* Glowing Exodor equipment boxes
* Chests with halidoms and relics
* Enchantment scrolls
* Legacy Essences
You can also buy Victory Insignias for Gold from the merchant next to Ooz.

* Increased levels of some opponents to 70 and 73

* Increased levels of some elements to 70
* Increased health of the gates
* Increased damage of Suicide Bomber to 180,000

The daily Exodor quests that you were able to accept from members of the Federation Reliquary Station have been removed. Instead, there are now 4 new Vanguard Initiative daily quests which can be completed to earn reputation.
This addresses the issue of the random quests being different for members of one group and too widely spread across the island.

The 4 new quests can be found in the “1-Person” category and reward you with the following items upon completion:
* Skill advancement XP
* 500 reputation for one of the two factions
* EP XP
* Exodor Skill Advancement Box (Scrolls)
* Azart Elixir
* Superior Replenishment and Recovery Potables

The daily quests for various solo dungeons have been reworked and now reward you with the following content:
* Reputation
* Experience points
* Valkyon Coins

Valkyon Coins can be exchanged for feedstock and other items, including:
* Feedstock for Exodor equipment
* Glowing Exodor equipment boxes

* Updated offers: instead of old enchanting materials these now have items for current equipment

* Uncommon (green) halidoms and relics are only bound to you once worn
* More items can now be discarded
* More items can be used to feed pets
* Silver Talents can be purchased for 3,000 Bellicarium
* Pilidium Bait can be purchased in Angler Token Shops
* The Skill Manual: Improved Flight Acceleration I is now tradeable


The way opening boxes is displayed has been reworked so that it is possible to open several boxes and avoid unnecessary clicking.
If you receive more items than you have space for in your inventory, they will automatically be sent to you via the in-game parcel post.

* Reduced the HP of many opponents by 30%

* Various loading screens have been changed, added or removed
* Increased the HP of bosses in the open world, modified respective rewards

* Increased HP of Vehemos and Dreadreaper
* When there is a large number of players, collisions with other players should no longer occur in some battles
* Golden missions now start every 2 hours
In May, several weeks after patch 93 launches, we will be changing the contents of the following boxes:
* Surprise Box: Ancient Mighty Dragons (merger with Surprise Box: Wicked Wyverns)
* Surprise Box: Ancient Mighty Phoenixes
* Surprise Box: Ancient Mighty Dream Birds
* Surprise Box: Ancient Mighty Drakes
* Surprise Box: Ancient Mighty Gryphons
* Surprise Box: Ancient Mighty Frost Monarch

The above boxes will be changed as follows:
* Permanent price reduction in the TERA Shop
* Flying mounts with a 1.5 passive effect will be added if they were previously missing
* 7-day versions of flying skills will be removed
* In line with the price reduction, the various consumables will be included in smaller quantities
If you still have surprise boxes in your inventory, you should use them before mid-May to take advantage of the higher number of consumables. The date of this change will be announced shortly before the corresponding maintenance is carried out.

At the start of April, a test environment was released in Korea where a new 64-bit-optimized game client was tested. This is expected to considerably improve the game’s performance. In particular, this should greatly reduce the number of RAM crashes and micro lags when loading certain elements.
We’re still not in a position to announce when we will be able to release this update, but we wanted to let you know about this exciting upcoming change now. You’ll find out more as soon as the exact details are known, of course!

The TERA Team

Patch 93 comes hot on the heels of patch 92, bringing an overhaul to a variety of class skills. As well as introducing a raft of new passive skills, the patch provides you with an improved way to influence certain skills. Please note the names of the skills used in this preview are subject to change and may differ in the final version.




This latest patch changes the importance of the different stats for the classes, with newly learnable passive skills giving you the ability to boost certain skill stats! In this preview we’re giving you a brief overview of the new passives, and reveal what stats are going to be important for you in future.

All classes will now have stats explicitly mentioned in skill descriptions, so for instance healers can now see at a glance how much health they’ll be able to regenerate based on their skills’ current stats.

Lancer

Lancers can now increase their physical resistance by 5% with the new Slick Footwork passive. Their second passive, Shield Mastery, increases the damage of their shield skills with increasing physical resistance. Other abilities also benefit from this stat.

Brawler

For Brawlers it’s all about boosting that physical amplification! Their Iron Will passive increases this stat by 5%, while Powerfist Mastery increases damage reflected from a perfect defense in line with physical support. Other skills now also depend on physical amplification.

Priest

Priests increase their magic resistance by 5% with the Blessed Will passive. Magic resistance also plays a role in various other abilities, as this stat can increase healing and shield strength.

Mystic

The new Nature’s Blessing passive increases magic resistance by 5% in Mystics. This stat influences various other abilities, including Thrall stats.

Warrior

Warriors can use the Ultracharge passive to increase the Edge explosive damage of skills in line with their physical crit power. Other Warrior skills are impacted by physical resistance or amplification.

Slayer

Slayers get the Blade Energy passive which allows them to ignore their enemies’ physical resistance respective to their own physical amplification. Physical amplification also has an impact on more of their skills.

Reaper

The new Black Magic passive allows Reapers to ignore their enemies’ magic resistance according to their own magic amplification. Magic amplification similarly plays a decisive role in other abilities.

Gunner

There’s no new passive for Gunners, as their Arcane Splash has already been adjusted, with its strength scaling in line with magic crit power.

Archer

The new Piercing Arrows passive increases Archers’ physical penetration and overcharge damage in line with their physical crit power. They should pay attention to their physical amplification for other skills.

Ninja

Ninjas benefit from increased magic penetration in line with their magic amplification thanks to the Magical Harmony passive. This stat is also relevant for a range of other skills.

Berserker

Berserkers are true to their name with the Blood Rage passive, increasing their skill damage according to their maximum health. Various other skills also scale with their health, consuming or regenerating more.

Sorcerer

Sorcerers get two powerful passives: Magic Empathy which increases their maximum MP, and Incantation which boosts their skill damage relative to maximum MP. Various skills now consume a certain percentage of MP when used, while others regenerate MP percentage-wise.

Valkyrie

The new Lunar Illusion passive increases Valkyries’ magic amplification by 50% of their physical amplification. Various other skills are similarly influenced by magic amplification.


While skills are the main focus of this update, there are a few other improvements to look forward to, such as the newly updated items for returning adventurers (levels 65-70).

Daily quests in the open world in Exodor have been simplified. In future, there will be 4 Vanguard Initiative quests, instead of the array available from reputation merchants.

The way rewards are dished out on battlegrounds is also being updated, and there are cool new animations for opening chests.

Today we are celebrating World Health Day and we would like to show our support to the #stayhomestaysafe cause with a surprise we’ve prepared especially for you!

All players that will login into the game between 07/04/2020 (09:00 AM) until 14/04/2020 (09:00 AM) will receive a free bundle with the following items:

• 1x Care and Use of Your Pet Miss Kitty

Let’s go and share some positive vibes in-game during these challenging times from the safety of our homes!

And don't forget: “wherever you are, whatever game you play, you can make a difference!”

Who’s that hiding in the bush? It’s the Easter bunny, and he has masses of eggs for all our adventurers in tow. Open the egg and, with a little luck, you’ll get exclusive Darkan's Pink Wings, the cute pet lizard Zorenai, the Pink Heart Weapon Skin or a Cherry Blossom Wisp outfit!





The best thing is: you get to decide how far to push the envelope and when you want to open the eggs to receive your reward. Simply use the runestones from the Vanguard Initiative merchants to combine multiple eggs of the same level into an Easter gift. You can see how in the item overview. Now it’s also possible to skip multiple levels in one go when upgrading the eggs, getting you to the high quality eggs even faster.



In tune with our event, you’ll find the Easter Bunny's Runestone in the TERA Shop, as well as the Lustrous Easter Nest.

Have fun and happy Easter!



Start: 2nd April 2020 at 10 AM

End: 16th April 2020 at 10:00 AM

• Collect Easter Eggs in all group dungeons from level 65.
  
• Upgrade your eggs as far as you want
  
• Transform them into Easter gifts using runestones from Vanguard Initiative merchants
  
• Use the Easter Bunny Tokens from the Easter gifts to pick out even better rewards – such as exclusive Darkan's Pink Wings, the cute pet lizard Zorenai, the Pink Heart Weapon Skin or a Cherry Blossom Wisp outfit!

Available in all group dungeons from level 65 (3 to 7 players)

• Dungeons with 40/80 weekly entries: chance of 1 egg per player
  
• Dungeons with up to 10 weekly entries: guarantees 2 eggs per player

The Easter Egg I is the lowest level. This can be earned as group loot in dungeons, so everyone involved can get an egg. The chance of looting eggs varies according to the adventure coin costs of a dungeon.

By right-clicking you can attempt to upgrade your Easter Egg to an improved version. The higher the egg’s level, the better! Upgrading an egg will increase its level, but on failure its level may drop or the egg may crack into Broken Eggshells. It is even possible for levels to be skipped when upgrading. If the egg breaks, you can reform a certain number of eggshells back into an Easter Egg I.


Available through upgrading
Right-click on the eggs to upgrade them. From level III you can combine multiple eggs into an Easter gift using an Easter Runestone of the same level. This gift contains your reward.

• Available from Vanguard Initiative merchants

These runestones combine various numbers of Easter eggs of the same level into an Easter gift containing your rewards. Depending on the level of runestone, you’ll receive either a Small Easter Gift, a Pretty Easter Gift or a Magnificent Easter Gift.

• Obtainable from the TERA Shop
  
• The Easter Bunny's Runestone has the special power to transform 10 Magnificent Easter Gifts into a Mysterious Easter Treasure. This contains:
  
• 1500x [Event] Easter Bunny Token
  
• 25x Diamond
  
• 100x Improved Dark Shard Weapon Feedstock
  
• 25x Improved Dark Shard Armor Feedstock

• Available from Easter gifts
  
• The tokens can be exchanged for a variety of fantastic prizes. These include the following highlights:
  
• Skill: Darkan's Pink Wings
  
• Fortune Skill: Ancient Mighty Vakna
  
• Fortune Skill: Ancient Mighty Somno
  
• Illumina Skill: Mighty Dawn Gryphon
  
• Illumina Skill: Mighty Thunder Gryphon
  
• Smart Box: Keepers of the Cherry Blossom Wisp
  
• Smart Box: Pink Heart Weapon Skin
  
• Care and Use of Your Pet Zorenai

Following the two most recent patches, which brought mythical gear as well as a big overhaul of the dungeon drops to Arborea, there’s even more good news to announce: in the next six months, your combat skills are going to get a divine boost!

In the first phase, many class skills and their impact on your stats will be given a complete revamp in honour of TERA’s 8th birthday. Later on in the summer, phase two will follow as part of a large update: the introduction of Avatars! Are you ready for a heroic transformation?

**Please note: The terms used in this preview are yet to be finalized and may be subject to change when the update is translated.**



You can obtain your first Avatar via a special quest at level 70, similar to the Awakening Quests. At this point you’ll receive a skill that enables you to transplant yourself into the body of a popular TERA NPC for a short time – and to use their spectacular skills!
A new Arborean cult personality will also be available to you after completing each hero quest. Heroes such as Fraya, Elleon or Kaidun, as well as villains such as Thulsa and even gods like Killian, the insidious God of Chaos, will be able to lend you their power.

Become an Avatar and your HP, attack power and defense will increase dramatically. In addition, new skills are coming that mortals can only dream of: some boss monster attacks that would normally annihilate a character straight away can hardly touch the incarnation of a god like Killian, for example. On the other hand, a hero like Elleon can protect his group from major damage by stunning boss monsters for a few seconds. Each Avatar offers four unique skills that you can use to put the fear of god into your opponents!

You’ll find the exact details in a comprehensive preview closer to the patch release date. We can, however, already reveal the following:
* In certain circumstances you can use your Avatar in instances
* For balance reasons, only the two battleground leaders can access their Avatars
* To activate your Avatar, you’ll need a new form of energy which you can collect in dungeons, via daily quests and other content
* Your Avatar will only last for a short period of time after being activated – so use it wisely!

The hero or god whose form you take on when you use the skill can be selected beforehand in a menu similar to the one used for character creation.


( Full size image is available here ).

Here you’ll find an overview of the corresponding Avatar’s strengths, skills and a small recap of their back story.
In the next step, you can customise your chosen form as you like – while their appearance will remain generally in character, you can change the following features, for example:
* Eye color, hair, armour, weapon, cape (if available)
* Face decorations such as tattoos, scars, earrings, make-up
* Aura color and animation, e.g. divine glow, blue particle storm or flickering flames

There’s still a little while to go before summer but we hope you’re already as excited about this big patch as we are! As soon as we have more information there will be more news on the stream, as always. Until then, enjoy the forthcoming updates!

At the end of March, patch 92 is bringing reworked PvP and PvE content, so you’ll receive bigger rewards for many activities. Here you’ll find all the details about the changes.



Dungeons and the Path to Level 70

Instead of having both a normal and a hard mode of each instance, most dungeons will have only one difficulty level each as of this update. There will be different rewards depending on the difficulty.We’ve already provided a full list of these changes in our preview - the content was updated- (LINK), and below you’ll find some additions:

Removed Dungeons

In addition to the already mentioned modified dungeons, the following instances are being removed with patch 92:

• Demokron Factory (Normal/Hard)
• Shadow Sanguinary
• Lilith’s Keep (Easy)
• Ruinous Manor (Easy/Hard)
• Velik’s Sanctuary (Hard)
• Thaumetal Refinery
• Ravenous Gorge
• RK-9 Kennel (Hard)
• Antaroth’s Abyss
• Dark Reach Citadel
• Channelworks
• Gossamer Vault
• Grotto of Lost Souls

However, the developers have already hinted that some of these dungeons will open their doors again in the future!

Dungeon Changes

• Velik’s Sanctuary is now a 5-player instance
• Removed Gossamer Vault (Hard) from the season rankings
• Adjusted starting position in Lilith’s Trial
• Various old armor can no longer be looted in dungeons as new armor has been added
• Adjusted loot in the Ghillieglade and other solo dungeons
• Adjusted Vanguard Initiative Quests for dungeons

Treasure Maps

This update adjusts the way Wilson’s Treasure Maps work, so instead of having a left and a right half, one of the 5 possible maps can now be obtained in the dungeon directly. The Treasure Maps will be available in the 9 dungeons of item level 453 to 461.

The new Treasure Maps will only remain in your inventory for 3 hour – so be quick with your treasure hunt!Instead of Diamonds, the superior treasure now contains a variety of materials for crafting etchings.

Note: After the update, you will no longer be able to fuse any remaining left and right halves of Treasure Maps. However, you will be able to use extraction to transform them into Wilson’s Treasure Maps [Aurum Road], which also stay in your inventory for 3 hours.


PvP Improvements

More Rewards

Completing the following Vanguard Initiative Quests also rewards you with more Gold:

• Win once in Corsairs’ Stronghold: 2,200 > 3,000 Gold

Individual Titles and Skins

Each Battleground rankings season, the top-ranked players in the Corsairs’ Stronghold and the Shore Hold will each also be awarded a battleground-specific winner’s trophy.The winner’s trophy can be sold for 250,000 Gold or collected. All winner’s trophies are valid until 31st March 2021. All remaining trophies will be deleted at midnight on 1st April 2021.

Once you have collected 6 winner’s trophies, you can exchange them personalized title created exclusively for you:

• Contact our customer support with the title of your choice
• You suggestion will be checked for its wording and overlap with existing titles
• Your personal title will be passed on to our developers for a future patch (a minimum waiting time of 203 months is to be expected).
• Once the title is available, it will be granted to you – and only you!

If you collect 10 trophies, you’ll ever be able to request your own weapon skin for your class! The process is similar – but the wait will be much longer. But if you have the patience and have always wanted to carry a truly unique weapon, it’s definitely worth it!
