TERA Online General : Now Free to Play

Finally, got Queenslayer title!

And I'm never going on zerk again. I died every donut, swear to god I'm only going on ranged from now on just to avoid donut.

Does anyone know any sort of alternative way to level up? I've been trying out multiple classes and I'm getting pretty sick of doing the same quests over and over again.

You could probably grind the dungeons as you gain access to them.

I think i heard a streamer say you can get to 60 doing the red story quests alone and nothing more but idk how much truth is behind that statement.

I no longer quest everywhere to level; soloing BAMs is the best source of exp, ESPECIALLY with the daily 2x buffs. Yesterday on my archer I made a level and a half to put me at 51 grinding SI nagas, in one hour. Frontera has decent exp quests, but as soon as you hit 48 or 50 at most, you should grind those nagas until 54, solo. After that, questing is probably faster. At 58, questing in Argon zones is definitely faster. Basilisks in Frontera are pretty nice to do until nagas, if you are bored of questing alltogether.

I didn't realize this game went F2P. Downloaded it earlier and made an Ellin Warrior. I tried an Archer first, but eh...I didn't really like it during the tutorial/demo section.

Warrior is 5* for a reason, just keep that in mind; it's not an easy class but has about the highest potential.
Archer sucks at the start and gets gradually stronger until endgame, at which point it is overpowered in a good group and pomegranate in a bad group.
Priest is easy as hell to level with; you will never die to anything and you do decent dps even though you are heals.
I wouldn't recommend leveling a Mystic to my worst enemy.
Sorc is overpowered as hell at the start, is terrible from ~35-48, then it gets Celerity and Hailstorm and it is overpowered again straight through to endgame.
Lancer is like Warrior except with more room for error; there's a reason it's the only class that can solo everything up to MCNM.
Berserker for grinding is the best at everything, and has no slow/weak levels whatsoever.
I never was good at Slayer, so ask someone that is good at them for an opinion on it.

I've heard a lot of comparisons with the battle system to Monster Hunter, so I don't think the difficulty will be too much of an issue for me.

One of the major issues I had with Archer was the horrible range. I assume that gets fixed with some passives or buffs later on, but on the demo area my range was like 15m, which is horrible for a ranged weapon in my opinion.
Also, that ability where you can target multiple enemies (Keyed to 1 during the demo) seemed to be too quick to let go of what you targetted. Not sure if there was a range between monsters limitation or something, but it bothered me. I know it's only one ability, but combined with the range issue it's kind of like two bad marks on a class right off the bat.

[MENTION=535]JoeTang[/MENTION]; I saw your question earlier for suggestions, so I thought Flonne's post above might help you out if you're still wondering and haven't seen it.

Oh hey, Flonne, does race actually matter in any regard? Seems to be a cash item to change it, so I was wondering how important it was.

Archer's range is 19m, 22m with certain glyphs that you shouldn't bother using; the reason you were getting poor returns on damage is because you didn't know a key point to playing Archer...damage is based on how close you are. Which is why Close Quarters is such a nice skill, you should be pretty close in a lot of situations anyway.

Race matters, yes. Warrior Elin gets +3m range on Risy Fury, which serves as your best quickdodge at endgame so it's obvious how important that extra movement is, and they also have slightly higher range on most other skills, though only ~1m for the rest, that's still helpful. Lancer Elin gets +3m to normal hit. No joke, the smallest character has the longest thrust range; Baraka is actually the SHORTEST, they only get 3m compared to everyone but Elin's 4m. And guess what, ELIN AGAIN, for Sorceror gives an instant response time on traps; every other class, if you lay a trap right on top of someone, it takes it about 2-3 seconds to explode, but for Elin, you lay the trap and it immediately explodes, which is pretty nice for pve but gives an insane advantage in pvp. I've heard Castanic Archer gets slightly increased attack speed on normal attack due to their animation for it.

It's pretty clear what the most popular class is. LOL.

Interesting. I really wouldn't like Archer then, considering I play Bow classes to be ranged, not close range with a weapon that could be ranged but sucks if you play it that way. Glad I switched before I got too invested in it. I think I'll be fine with Warrior.

So race effects some interesting things. Good to know.

Edit: Oh, I was wondering if anyone was playing on the new PvE server, Ascension Valley. I'm on that one.

Elin Sorcerers have the fastest animations. They can generally fit in more skills in their rotation than any other race. All traps for Sorcs explode immediately now. Pretty sure Elin's painful/lightning trap explode at the same time as everyone else but who knows.

I got invited to join a static for MCHM and so far we have 4 clears together. Last 8% trips us up sometimes, but so far it's been going pretty good. I think they're in the same guild you are, Flonne.

i could have rolled a elin sorc but i already have one as my priesty...

So i rolled a castanic female for the Victoria secret robes look (◕‿◕ ♡

Aegis is my guild now, wouldn't surprise me, they have a lot of groups capable of doing MCHM.

Also, my username is now a VigLink autolink, I don't know if I should be happy or sad.

Yup, I got invited to join a static with a few Aegis members to try and get another group on farm. 6 clears together. 4 more clears until I'm skilled. I myself am in Heartwood Knights.

Well, this weekend is 2x drop, so you will get in a lot then most likely. Last time, Decimo said he did over 20 runs in those 2 days. I'd sure love to get into a static and not just a random off-invite. I think I could do it on my mystic now, all glyphs and she's got decent gear now.

A video on the new factions stuff. Reminds me a ton of AIKA's server vs server, which is what I wanted from this game from the beginning since it was in the original "to do" list for the game.

This has got to be a glitch or something, the 1000 EXT alks are not rare at all from boxes...a few people in my guild have already hoarded like 10,000+ of them.

nice. Now when my launcher breaks game, I can just torrent it. I wonder if you can use the torrent file to "fix" a broken install.

Either i have some sort of lag or i just suck at Beserker...
Each skill i use takes enough time in between charging to actually start up that i take some fatal damage.

You can move while charging you know! That's actually the best part; the charges take a while, so you can start them whenever and worry about positioning yourself behind the enemy while it's charging.

There's a regional IP ban on it.
