The specialty merchant has four new chests on offer. They are empty to start with, and you have to fill them.
You can make your existing enchanting materials tradeable by transforming the non-tradeable material into a chest for a sum of Gold. This is possible for the following materials:
Lumikan’s Wing Fragment Lumikan’s Horn Piece Tyrant’s Belt Tyrant’s Soul
Kaia’s Soul Gear Box
As you’ll have already read above in the available instance rewards, you can receive a new chest in the dungeons.

The DPS Meter
Please ensure you have the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 installed, or else the DPS meter won’t work.
You should also run the game client in window mode and activate the DPS meter in the game options.
If you accidentally close the DPS meter, you can open it again in the main menu (under “My Character”). Otherwise, it should automatically appear at the start of each boss battle.
Please always use the information from the DPS meter treating your fellow players with respect.

The DPS Meter
To use this new feature, _Windows .NET Framework 4.8_ must be installed on your PC. This is a collection of tools that can be used by other programs (such as the DPS meter).
You can download .NET Framework 4.8 from the following link:

**Can I turn off the DPS meter?** The DPS meter will activate by default during boss battles. However, it can be deactivated in the game options.
**Which kind of opponents can I use the DPS meter on?** The DPS meter can only be used for bosses displaying an HP bar. It is not active for regular monsters or players, and cannot be displayed here.
**Can I view old battle logs?** Yes, the last 10 battles are saved if they have not already been deleted. However, no older logs are saved or displayed.
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 Hellfire Skill: Ancient Mighty Stygian War Gryphon, the Smart Box: Modern Popori Hanbok or the Partner: Lumikan (Superior).
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.

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.

Item Function Tyrant’s Belt: Upgrading, enchanting (0-9) Tyrant’s Soul: Enchanting (6-9) Magic Alloy : Enchanting (0-6), repairing (0-6) Magic Ingot : Enchanting (6-9), repairing (6-9)
Quests Skip
A feature has been added that allows players with a level 70 character to skip specific quests they have already completed when using a new character.
The following quests are affected:
Levels 1 to 11: Quests on Stepstone Isle
Level 65+: Awakening quests
Players are still sent the quest rewards per parcel post in the game.
Simplifications
Many level 65 to 70 quests have been improved so that they no longer contain unnecessary steps. This means that fewer enemies need to be hunted in order to complete them.
Additionally, the item levels of some dungeon quests have been adjusted.
New Daily Quests
Three new Vanguard Initiative quests have been added, which reward you for completing one of the following actions on the islands of Exodor:
Gathering shells at Exodor Fishery.
Defeating the BAM on Exodor’s outer islands.
Defeating the dragon on Exodor’s outer islands.
Other Improvements Skill Advancement
Fewer scrolls are now needed to advance and unlock skills.
Partners
Increasing the fellowship of a partner has been simplified as simple increases have been removed. For example, you can no longer receive a fellowship increase of just 3 points between levels 3 and 4! Additionally, when leveling up a pet using an evolution stone, you will now definitely receive a partner.
Open World Exodor
You no longer need the Azart Elixir effect to fly to the Exodor Archipelago or use jump gates. Any remaining potions can be sold to merchants for Gold. Both the placement and the behavior of monsters on Exodor have been adjusted so that they no longer roam the streets and don’t attack players so often. Additional opponents have been place in zones where there were previously very few opponents. Monsters should no longer stun or stagger players. The attack speed of regular opponents has also been reduced by 20%.
Essenia
Flight altitude has been partially increased.
Items
There have also been some changes to existing items:
The cooldowns of various items have been reduced. This applies to etchings, pet treats, potions for production points, and skill advancement scrolls. The character level required for halidoms and relics has been reduced to 65.
Kaias Wisdom/Fury
When enchanting this gear it will no longer fall back a level. Card Fragments
Two new cards have been added to the new dungeon—each in all three rarities. The chances of a successful card fragment fusion has been increased. The sale value of some card chests has been reduced. The chance of looting card fragments in dungeons has been increased.
Etchings
Temporary etchings made between patch 99 and 102 are now being converted so that:
30-day etchings turn into a permanent version. 60-day etchings turn into 2 permanent versions. Even etchings that have already been applied to equipment will be converted during the server maintenance, but ONLY if they haven’t expired yet by that time.
Ancient/Mighty Frost Monarch
These are the adjustments made to the Stormcharge active skill due to the Exodor changes:
Previously: You received a effect that allowed you to fly on Exodor and use jump gates. Now: You are given a Bravery effect (identical to the Bravery Potion) for two hours, which increases the damage of your skills and your attack speed. The damage you take is also reduced. Additionally, your flight energy depletes more slowly, so you can fly for longer than with other flying skills! The new effect cannot be used in conjunction with regular Bravery Potions. All other details of this flying skill remain unchanged. The change will be automatically applied during server maintenance.
Battleground Changes Gridiron
The crystals that grant you a buff have been placed at the starting positions of both teams. The treasure chests have been placed at random in the arena. Find and destroy them and they’ll grant you a random buff. Once the special crystal appears in the center of the battleground, all players will continuously receive a debuff that increases damage taken by 7.5%. This effect can be stacked up to eight times. Additional rewards have been added that can be obtained by the best five players on each team.
Miscellaneous
The Vanguard Initiative Quest display has been changed so that quests that you have removed from your tracker are no longer automatically added again when a monster is killed or progress is made.
The position of the minimap is no longer reset when logging in again.
Inventory sorting has been improved.
Finding the name of an item in the inventory has been improved.
The Create Match window in instances has been improved so there is more space to display various elements.
It now only takes five seconds to return to character selection.
The layout of card fusion has been improved.
The layout of the event calendar window has been improved.
Feeding pets to increase their stamina has been improved.
It is now also possible to search the bank and pet inventories using text input.
Regional Event Dungeon
Harrowhold The dungeon,all event NPCs, related token and chests will be removed during server maintenance. Please make sure you have exchanged all your tokens in time!
Additional Information
All "Fire Demon's Tome" related tokens and chests will be removed during server maintenance.
Fishing:
The changes to fish, fish bait, and deliveries will be reverted.
Instead of the treasures directly, Treasure Maps will be back as a drop in the dungeons to allow achievement completion.
Dying to know what’s in store for TERA? This preview gives you a short taste of what’s coming up in patch 103. Look forward to the new Killing Grounds instance, where you’ll face off against a seriously brutal final boss. Plus test your mettle in Lumikan’s Trial in The Catalepticon. The patch also brings promised improvements to etchings, and many other changes.
New Dungeon: Killing Grounds
Already cut Lumikan down to size? Then it’s time to take Gardan to task. This seasoned warrior has earned a chilling reputation in Killian’s icy arena. Enter the Citadel of Torment in Westonia to enter the arena and challenge the new boss… if you have the guts! Gardan is a berserker who employs an array of icy attacks to bring the pain. Watch out when he goes apoplectic, and be prepared for his attempts to lock you and your companions in a dome of ice. This shrinks the combat area and lets Gardan get up close and personal – just the way he likes it! The boss is accessible to all players in normal and hard difficulties.
Kaia’s Soul Gear – Hand and Footwear
Last time you got access to the new weapons and armor. Now patch 103 brings the matching gloves and footwear! You can get this gear in the same way as before, but there are new required materials which need to be collected in Gardan’s dungeon!
Etchings
As mentioned in our 2021 preview, all those temporary etchings will become permanent in this update, swapped out as follows: • 30-day etchings turn into a permanent version • 60-day etchings turn into 2 permanent versions Even etchings that have already been applied to equipment will be converted during the server maintenance, but ONLY if they haven’t expired yet by that time.
