TERA Battle Arena: New Heroes
Choose from three new heroes!

Rhodos
You’ll already know him as the commander of the Khirian Resistance in northern Arun—and now you can also play as this brawler in the TERA Battle Arena!
Rhodos specializes in pounding his opponents in melee combat, storming into the fray, and launching his opponents into the air.

Niniel
This gunner stays on the move while attacking her opponents. With her Heart Bomb skill, Niniel can enchant her opponents so that they run toward her uncontrollably, and with Balder’s Vengeance she has a unique gunner skill that deals massive damage to her enemies.

Kaia
The almighty warrior Kaiator, guardian goddess of Kaiator, joins the action bearing her greatsword to teach all enemies of Kaiator the meaning of fear.
She strikes down her opponents in a large area around herself with powerful blows from her greatsword.

General and Balancing
Every hero now has an additional ability that you can use to quickly stand up again when you have been knocked down. Additionally, you’ll also be immune to similar effects for 2 seconds after using this skill.
(You will not find this skill in your skill bar; it is only shown when it can be used, and it has a 60-second cooldown.)

TERA Battle Arena – Miscellaneous

Achievements
In addition to the heroes, there have also been some other improvements. You will be able to unlock the achievements from patch 100 onwards. There’s a reward of 10 Arena Coins per achievement.

New Options
In the options (“O”) you can now also decide whether the name of the character currently in focus should be highlighted or not
It is now also possible to move the skills around in the skill bar, arranging them to your liking.

Enjoy the new patch,
The TERA Team

The Sky Cruiser returns… bringing an even more enraged Darkan with it! Get ready for a serious challenge.
As you’ve surely heard, our TERA family is welcoming new players from across the pond, and this patch will be the first which we also release for adventurers in North America. Patch 100 also comes packed with 3 new heroes for TERA Battle Arena!

Sky Cruiser (Hard)
Darkan has returned with only one thing on his mind: the complete and utter destruction of your sky cruiser! If you’re to foil his plans, you’re going to need all the courage you can muster. This battle is tougher than ever before, with the combat area shrinking down to a tiny sliver as the searing flames spread.
You can enter this new dungeon from item level 484 once per day (or twice for Club members).

Three New TBA Heroes
From patch 100 you can choose from three more heroes in TERA Battle Arena:
* The brawler Rhodos pulls no punches with those mighty powerfists. He’s already earned a reputation for himself in the MMO story.
* Niniel’s a gunner who uses skills of delusion to lull her enemies before blasting them into smithereens.
* The slayer Kaia is a goddess of Kaiator. She loves letting opponents in the arena taste the business end of her greatsword.

TERA - Action MMORPG - [CM]Melione


Complete missions, fill your Battle Pass and unlock different reward levels – earn recognition for your dungeon runs, battlegrounds, 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 Divine Judgment Potion from the final rewards chest. This can be used repeatedly for 30 days to produce a magical glow effect around you.

Event Period

Start: 3rd November at 10:00 AM CET
End: 1st December at 10:00 AM CET

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: 5x Liquid Exollusion
* [Battle Pass] Reward II: 5x Astonishing Steamed Kirash + 5x Refreshing Steamed Kirash
* [Battle Pass] Reward III: 10x Damage Protection Voucher (50%)
* [Battle Pass] Reward IV: 2x Annealed Dark Shard Cohesion Arcane
* [Battle Pass] Reward V: 100x Manaforce Refined Duranium Ore
* [Battle Pass] Reward VI: 1x Blue Snuggletooth Shark
* [Battle Pass] Reward VII: 10x Legacy Essence
* [Battle Pass] Reward VIII: 5x Mystery Market Coin
* [Battle Pass] Reward IX: 100x Dark Shard Armor Feedstock
* [Battle Pass] Reward X: 2x Greedhead’s Option Change Scroll [Boots]
* [Battle Pass] Reward XI: 50x Dark Shard Weapon Feedstock
* [Battle Pass] Reward XII: 1x Pink Snuggletooth Shark
* [Battle Pass] Reward XIII: 1x TERA Club Membership
* [Battle Pass] Reward XIV: 1x Divine Judgment Potion

Inside the Golden Reward Chests

* [Battle Pass] Gold Reward I: 1x Pet: Blue Snuggletooth
* [Battle Pass] Gold Reward II: 1x 1,200 Adventure Coin
* [Battle Pass] Gold Reward III: 1x Hard Black Core Shard
* [Battle Pass] Gold Reward IV: 150x Refined Duranium Ore
* [Battle Pass] Gold Reward V: 20x Improved Dark Shard Armor Feedstock
* [Battle Pass] Gold Reward VI: 1x Smart Box: Festive Yukata
* [Battle Pass] Gold Reward VII: 5x Adventure Completion Ticket
* [Battle Pass] Gold Reward VIII: 3x Unstable Transformation Vellum Token
* [Battle Pass] Gold Reward IX: 15x Improved Dark Shard Weapon Feedstock
* [Battle Pass] Gold Reward X: 1x Sharp Black Core Shard
* [Battle Pass] Gold Reward XI: 45x Serghetto's Gear Protector (100%)
* [Battle Pass] Gold Reward XII: 3x Dungeon Entries Expansion
* [Battle Pass] Gold Reward XIII: 1x Companion Appearance Change Voucher
* [Battle Pass] Gold Reward XIV: 1x Pet: Great Pink Snuggletooth

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 Now Exclusively 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
* 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).

TERA - Action MMORPG - [CM]threea



When will Gameforge start running TERA in America?
• On 12th November 2020.

When will En Masse Entertainment shut down their servers?
• EME will shut down their servers on 9th November 2020 (15:59 UTC).

Which build version will the NA servers launch with?
• The NA Servers will be launched with Build 99.

Will TERA Battle Arena be available when the NA servers are open?
• TERA Battle Arena will not be available right away with the opening of the servers, but it will be added soon after the service starts. There will be an official announcement when it's time.

Will anything change regarding the 2 current servers that NA has?
• Gameforge will keep the current server structure that NA has, so everything should be the same as before. Please note that we will rename the servers from Velika to Velik and from Kaiator to Kaia

Do players get to keep their progress to date?
• Yes, players get to keep all their progress as well as their items. Please note that a small number of items might have different content or won’t work anymore after the transfer (e.g. Elite subscription item).
• The Strongbox Keys will be converted into EU Strongbox Keys which can be used to open only EU Strongboxes. If you still have unopened NA Strongboxes, we'd advise you to open them before the server closes.

Will all my current characters be transferred?
• Yes, all characters will be transferred.

Do I keep all the character slots I currently have?
• Yes, but please bear in mind that the number of character slots you have might not be displayed correctly during the initial weeks.

What will happen to my guild/bank/wardrobe/friends list/Buddy-Up codes?
• The guild, bank, wardrobe and friends list remain unchanged.
• Old Buddy-Up codes can no longer be used.

Will characters and guilds keep their names?
• Yes.

What will happen to my Elite Status (called TERA Club in EU)?
• Players who had an active Elite subscription on the NA servers will enjoy TERA Club benefits on our servers as well.
• The remaining subscription time will be carried over from EME.
• The Elite subscription voucher items will not work on EU servers, so please use all of these items before the server shuts down.

! Please note that some text for items or descriptions may be missing or not finalized at the start of the service.​​​​

What happens to the premium currency (EMP) I still have on the NA servers?
• EMP will be transferred at a rate of 100 EMP = 10 Tera Thalers for all players that had a purchase history with EME and that complete the migration process. As a special migration bonus, players will also receive an additional bonus of 30% in TT.
• Players who have only owned free EMP (through events for example) are advised to spend their currency before the servers shut down, as the EMP from those players will not be transferred.

Will the TERA Club subscription and TERA Thaler Balance be shared across EU and NA?
• No, since the EU and NA systems are completely separate from each other, TERA Club subscription and TERA Thaler Balance will also be separate.

Will my existing Founder Status be kept?
• Your existing Founder Status will be kept, but please note that NA players won’t have founder status if they start a character on an EU/SEA Server.

Will account-bound items be kept?
• This is currently not planned so players are advised to claim as many of these items as they need before the server closes.

Do I need to do prepare anything before the EME servers close?
• Please claim all items in your item claim, item broker, mailbox and guild bank before the server shuts down, as unclaimed items may be lost otherwise.
• Please also make sure to exchange all your token items before the server shuts down as some of them might have different content or won’t work anymore afterwards.

In which languages can TERA be played in NA?
• The game will be playable in English, French, German and Russian.
Please note that some text for items or descriptions may be missing or not finalized at the start of the service.

Additional Note: Riding Skills and Riding items will use the EU translation, once the service is transferred, so please keep in mind that there might be different names on specific items than what you were used to.

Can players transfer between the NA servers and EU servers and vice versa?
• While character transfers between the 2 different NA servers will be possible, transferring to an EU server will not. Transferring from an EU server to a NA server will also not be possible.

Can NA players play in instances with EU players?
• No, the NA servers will have their own dungeon server and will not be connected to the EU servers.

What happens to my TERA Rewards Levels?
• The Rewards-System was an EME-unique system that is not available in any other TERA region. As such, it unfortunately won’t be possible to transfer any progress or status for this.
• However, as a token of appreciation for players who have supported TERA for such a long time, players within the following level ranges will receive special one-time rewards:
  • Reward Tier 1-4: Exclusive Title, Stamp: Kaleidoptera
  • Reward Tier 5-8: Exclusive Title, Smart Box: Azure Blue Yukata, Stamp: Kaleidoptera
  • Reward Tier 9: Exclusive Title, Skill Manual: Moon Lotus Aura, Smart Box: Azure Blue Yukata, Stamp: Kaleidoptera
  • Reward Tier 10: Exclusive Title, Skill Manual: Moon Lotus Aura, Smart Box: Azure Blue Yukata, Stamp: Kaleidoptera, Flying Skill: Ancient Tyflamosaurous Flex

What will happen to my guild in case the guild leader does not migrate?
• In case a guild leader is inactive for a long period of time and the migration time is over, the second player in the guild ranking can contact our support team to change the leadership.

Will TERA Boutique Coins (Meruma's Deluxe Fashion Shop Coin) change or be removed?
• TERA Boutique coins also exist in the EU version (Meruma's Deluxe Fashion Shop Coin) and will continue to work. There might be small differences though, such as the content of the token store or the amount of tokens you receive for dismantling items.

What will happen to the temporary banks we have from past NA merges?
• We can't confirm as of now whether temporary bank slots will be kept. To make sure that nothing gets lost we would strongly recommend to move the items in those to other places.

Why am I getting a message 'An error has occurred please try again later'​​ while trying to launch the game:

  • The servers will only open on 12th of November. Therefore, getting an error message while trying to launch the game earlier is possible.

TERA - Action MMORPG - [CM]threea

On 13th October it’s that time again on the TERA servers: patch 99 is coming!
The new game mode: TERA Battle Arena will be released on the 15th of October.

Note: Due to some technical issues the release date of the new game mode TERA Battle Arena will be postponed. We will have more news about the new release date soon.



The latest at a glance:
  • New MOBA game mode: TERA Battle Arena
  • Commander’s Residence with new boss LB-1
  • Modified dungeon difficulties
  • Crafting of powerful etchings



TERA Battle Arena
The New Mode

The new TERA Battle Arena mode (TBA for short) will bring the True Action Combat system of the MMO into the world of Massive Online Battle Arenas (MOBA).

The new mode can be launched in the same manner as the main game: players who want to play TBA can do so without having to play the main game. After choosing a game server you will automatically be asked whether you’d prefer to go to the MMO character selection or the Battle Arena.

The Arena

In the Battle Arena you choose one of 18 heroes. The PvP battles involve four teams each consisting of three players. Loot gold coins from monsters with your group members and increase your level to unlock the ultimate skill.
You’ll find details on all the heroes as well as a breakdown of the UI and game mode on our promo page: https://play.tera-battle-arena.gameforge.com/news-en
We’ll also be giving you an overview of the TBA lobby and the heroes on our Twitch channel on 7th October (the stream will be recorded for later viewing).


Arena Info
The first time you join a server you’ll need to set your character name for TBA! This cannot be changed.
Your profile/character will be bound to the server. While the game rounds automatically pool together players from all servers, you can only join a group with players from the same server before group matching.
There is a selection of freely available heroes that changes every 2 weeks.
Free: Additionally, you can unlock the hero Elleon by redeeming the DLC on Steam or in the shop via the Gameforge client.

There will be two currencies in TBA:

  • Tikat, which can be purchased for real money (real currency > TERA Thalers > Tikat). You can use Tikat to unlock additional heroes and costumes for them. The amount of Tikat you have is synchronized with the MMO. If you already have Tikat in the MMO, you will also be able to use them in the TBA mode.
  • Arena Coins, which you’ll receive for each round you play. The amount depends on how well your team performs. The coins can also be used to unlock heroes—as well as to purchase runes!
New Dungeons
New Boss in the Commander’s Residence

The Commander’s Residence has been updated to give you a 50% chance of facing Maknakh or LB-1 each time you enter battle.
While the details of the instance otherwise remain the same (for example, entry and cost), there are the following difference between the bosses:

Maknakh: Loot may contain an Unstable Option Change Scroll for weapons, armor, gloves, or boots.
LB-1: Loot may contain an Unstable Option Change Scroll for belts, masks, or brooches.

Crafting Etchings

There are new recipes for crafting these etchings, which can simply be purchased from the corresponding NPC for a little Gold. You will also need the rank of at least Artisan to craft them.

Specific types of items are required for crafting. Please note that this is only a rough overview. Each etching type (weapon, armor, etc.) requires different materials:

1x Sharp Black Core Shard
Crafted from 100x Dark Shard Weapon Feedstock and 5x Improved Dark Shard Weapon Feedstock
600x Manaforce Refined Duranium Ore
Obtained via extraction from equipment items
For example: Kaia gear yields 80 pieces, with lower ranks accordingly fewer
6x Solar Essence
Available as loot in dungeons
1x Weapon Etching Fragment
Obtained via extraction from Weapon Etchings IV
The cost of crafting Etchings IV has been reduced by approx. 50%
10,000x Craft Kit
Available from merchants
You will receive one gem each time you craft (a Refined Solar Stone in the case above as the weapons recipe was used as an example). Get a critical success and you’ll even receive two of them. You only need one gem for each etching.

More Details

While the various crafting materials can be traded, the resulting gems and interchangeable etchings cannot! So be sure before you craft a gem.

The new etchings only have a duration of 30 days (1 gem) or 60 days (2 gems) each. After that the effect of your item will wear off.
