Tera newbie here. Holy smokes! This game feels fluid. I'm in australia and it feels like I'm playing with 150ms ping or something. Much better than WoW response times. I think they use some cheats though, like when you cast an instant ability while moving it sets you back a little bit.

Question: Me and a group of friends (5-6 of us) all started playing tera F2P a few days ago. Some of my friends said they got "item claim" mail and it had keys in there for opening locked boxes. And those boxes had gems worth 100-200g! But I never got any keys? I only have a weird mask in item claim. What gives?

Also the experience of [Area] chat in the starting area (1-10) is so extremely Barrens Chat-like. No wait, it's worse :nms:

I really wish there was some in-depth explanations about this game. Shared bank? Huh?

Last thing: someone hit me up with some good zerker chains, if any exist.

Heads up ya'll

:siren:You can pick up a boxed copy of Tera for **$12** at any EB games in Australia:siren:

https://ebgames.com.au/pc-157688-Tera-PC

Benefits of physical copy here. (tawny huntress pack)

The emeralds sell to vendors for 1000g each. The scrolls and mount (if you choose to sell them) can net you another 2000g.

Semi-enigs can sell for 1000-1400 right now even without Tawny! Can anyone here confirm that the aus edition isn't something silly like Frogster? A quick Google doesn't really confirm anything to me within the first few results, and I assume a goon has already bought one there to confirm.
I made my post after I just got home with my boxed copy and plugged in the keys, I can confirm. I'm in Aus and playing on American servers. Remember: only china/russia/something is IP blocked. Everyone else can play wherever they want. (Euro play on US, vice versa, etc). A tera key works with any edition (eu or US).

Have you actually confirmed this is for En Masse's TERA (US)? Because the box picture has an Ubisoft logo on it, and they published the retail copies for Frogster's TERA (EU).
I made a Tera U.S. F2P account a week ago.

I bought tera boxed copy from EB games today.

I applied the code normal and backwards.

I am now a veteran/founder and have 4000 gold worth of items.

All of that I did before I made my announcement.

We are mostly based around trolling and making people on the server super unhappy.

If any other goons want to ride up with us we are really not serious, and pretty much purely a troll guild. We do dungeons and pvp, but really the guild is about making the server rage by what ever means we can.

Anyone know why you can't find any good lancers on Lake of Tears? I've never played an mmo that has this few tanks.
I was online when I saw this. It was pretty surprising to see you guys successfully take on other Guilds so fast! Too bad nobody responded to my comment in global about it. Boo.

Despite activating my founder-status before the free EMP, I never got free EMP. Must be only for pre-F2P founders.

Tera EBgames/Australia status update: turns out cheap-tera was because EB was doing a big stock clearance in February and now they don't even list tera on their website anymore, despite having tera in stock in stores.

I managed to pick up a spare copy (last one in store) and asked the guy where the closest one was after this. He said it was 400kms away up the coast. Yeah. I guess I'll hold onto it for a few months and see what happens. Sydney is outta stock, QLD/VIC has stock. No idea if the price is still $12 or back to $60.

I keep asking this in guild chat, but people don't really answer. I've been killing Basilisks for fun and profit, and they kind of vomit gear I can't use or don't want to use. My inventory is filling up quickly, and I don't know what to do with the excess. I've been disassembling stuff into Deosilex and tossing it up on the trade broker, since it has the highest average sell price out of the disassembling results, but it hasn't really been selling when I price it at the broker's given average price, though things like verdracloth get snapped up within minutes. how do I TERA economy
List items 5-10% higher than the minimum. Don't do average. Elite players can list anything with no fee so they sometimes list items with a ridiculous price, skewing the average.

Also maybe watch the broker for a few days to get an idea of minimum price range.

Too bad that the EU guild seems mostly dead, I have my friend who got me into the game on EU, and don't have the HDD space (or the money to buy bigger discs) for two copies. I guess there's no way to just edit some files which'll set the region to US instead?
RE: client region changing. Conversion process seems pretty simple. The two clients (EU and NA) share the folders "Art_Data" and "Sound_Data" located in "TERA\Client\S1Game\CookedPC". 27.1gigs to be exact. Keep those two folders and replace everything else with US client files. A few hundred MB. Actually, a lot of the remaining files seem similar too, but I don't know for sure. Launch tera with new US "TERA-Launcher.exe" and you should be good to go.

I have a theory that the only thing that needs replacing is just the .exe's. Someone who has both clients could test that out for us, if they don't mind.

I also had a look around for tera private servers, see what they do to change realms/regions (world of warcraft style). The only private server I could find uses a custom launcher .exe... and nothing else. I believe that "region" is held within the launcher you use. Ergo, the only thing that you need to replace to change client regions is merely switching En-masses/Frogsters "TERA-Launcher" exe.

Sorry for the :words:

Hey, so, new player here. Is there any really good primer that tells me what I should be doing? Or even a class specific guide? I just sorta run around quest to quest (on beginner island, still) but is there anything I really need to keep in mind? In WoW (at least, when I was playing) it was save money for your loving mount. I'm not hardcore at all but I don't want to play sub-optimally. Should I be buying weapons every chance I get or should I just hold out for quest reward weapons? I'm like a level 9 Slayer.
The gold you get for the first 12 levels (beginner island) is like 1-2g tops, which doesn't buy anything. Word of warning: avoid the crafting quests when you get to Velika (the big city), they cost too much for too little reward. And you get a free blue craft weapon from a quest at 25 anyway. When you get to lumbertown (next area after newbie island) you want to start putting almost everything on the broker, it beats vendoring it. You can buy blue gear from the broker around level 22 as well, it comes from the first dungeon. Most pieces are like 5-10g, which you should have by that level. Really helps with leveling. Stick with quest rewards otherwise.

That's my experience anyway. I think there is one or two crafting you might want to level up while leveling your character but I forget which ones they are. And when it comes to the broker, the price you pay includes the broker fee, but when you list an item, it doesn't include the fee. That's called the asking price. You might be wondering why your items haven't been selling, that's the reason.

Anyone feel free to correct me if I got anything wrong.

So I heard from somewhere that this game's sorta like Monster Hunter in an MMO or something. Is it worth 50 GBs of space? And does it even take up to 50 GBs?
Also, I guess, did that healing class priest thingy ever change dramatically or is it all value changes?
There are two ways to download the game. Torrent and stream.
Torrent requires 30gb space to download and another 35 ish to install.
Stream ('happycloud') downloads the game as you play, only requiring 35gb space.

The DVD/hardcopy cannot be used to install the game, the launcher it comes with is too outdated. A shame because many of the files on the DVD are the same as the most up to date version of the game.

Yeah I was gonna say. TERA is fully free on steam as the F2P model. EVE -does- have trial accounts but the people who use those would almost never do it through steam. I was just giving an idea that TERA's population is much higher than just the steam users.

By the way, since about a year ago you can detatch your EVE account from steam and turn it into a normal login. But I still like using EVE Steam because gotta track them hours.
