Me and my ex are levelling on EU servers, since we were already far into the levelling before we heard word NA might be better. Although in fairness, I've had no problems with EU so far. I don't know if it's been addressed elsewhere in the thread, but Level 47 - 50 will see you hit a grind wall of sorts if you've been questing without doing any dungeons or 5-man BAM quests. At that level, you should be able to get through Necromancer's Tomb with a chum relatively easily, allowing you to complete Freeing Kaidun. There are a load of quests in NT which will fetch millions of experience so it's a good place to hit up. I believe, doing these, unlocked some Westonia quests... or something somewhere, which you're sort of lead to. In either case, my advice when levelling is if you see some folks looking for people to do BAM quests or dungeons, go for it. If only to do the dungeon-related quests and nothing more. I hear there's a similar wall around Lev52-53 but not as bad, so we shall see. It was just a shame that the levelling process had been pretty smooth up until then.

A very small amount of pain for a very nice amount of progress--go to Dragonfall in Sylvanoth and head southeast down to Dakonian Junction. Farm XP off of the unlimited minions spawned by the Bleakbone Dragoons there. It's easy to start as early as level 47 there and go all the way to 54, even earlier if you are crazy. Forty minutes there will net you at least one level. Of course, if you like pain and want more, you can continue grinding on Argonomorph Mugatos south of Pathfinder Post in Val Tirkai from that level all the way to 58.

As an archer and lancer duo, me and a friend had pretty good success doing mugatos south of pathfinder for 56-60; since you can chain more than 6 monsters now, it went faster than questing for us. Not too sure if it's really doable without a lancer since they hurt me pretty bad, though.

I soloed about an average of nine Mugatos per pull as a 55 Berserker, though I found it prudent to +6 my gear before doing so.

Again, I did that part solo with my Berserker, too. Always slamming that Mocking Shout key upon cooldown is all it takes to prevent hitstun for that class long enough to pull out a fast-charge glyphed Cyclone. It's all about pacing oneself, pulling two or three Dragoons at the most earlier on, then grabbing a couple more if one feels confident and has a full HP pool. Other classes can get away with melee mobbing them as well thanks to having more stun attacks.

Archers and Sorcs definitely have the easiest time, then. Their downside being that you can't really avoid killing the dragoons with long ranged AOE immediately. The whole field respawns really quickly, however.

This was the only part of leveling a mystic that wasn't terrible. My damage was so slow that I'd never kill the lancers if I let a few adds spawn, then I was killing 6-10 of the minions with each aoe attack I did. Basically just circle strafing and spamming aoe to success. Was getting over a level an hour and for a brief moment knew leveling without suffering.

Alright, if the Mystic wave can one-shot those turds than I guess everyone can have fun. Good place for some mostly even-leveled world PVP, too.

Well, it doesn't one shot them, but once you get the first ones from a set dying, you start killing the already whiddled down ones with each consecutive. Regardless, it's the one time where our slow killing is actually beneficial!

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

Forty minutes there will net you at least one level. We found four packs of them, each giving around 1900exp per kill, which equals 11,400~ exp per pack. Though the respawn time didn't seem overly fast at all, at least for our Slayer/Sorcerer combo. So we've gone for KaneTW's Naga advice (minus the 100% exp) for the time being. Gotta admit though, as a Slayer, if I made myself a pie chart of all BAM damage I've taken, the greatest slice of it would be: "Being walked over as if I was nothing."

Don't kill the pack masters along with the pack. Get the pack aggro on, then run circles around it as the master Dragoon spawns something like 20 minions every several seconds or so. Without limit. As in, a few Dragoons can potentially be throwing 80 or 100 minions at you very shortly if you let it grow. Then take them all down without dying and suddenly you're making hundreds of thousands of XP per pack. BAMs do happen to be fun enough in this game that you can be entertained as you level, which is an upside for them.

The minion mobs south east of Dragonfall don't have masters attached to them, you certain of the location?

I need to clarify. It's not just southeast, it's east and then south. The location you're looking for is just south of the the "Da" of Dakonian Junction here on this map: The Bleakbone Dragoons are undead mounted lancers and you'll know it's them for sure when you pop their minions and they spawn more.

I can not decide on a class to play even after running a fair few of them though the intro zone and taking a few onto isle of dawn for a few levels as well. Normally I roll bow/gun ranged DPS or sneaky/stealthy Rogue or a variation thereof in MMO's, TERA has no Rogues and archer just feels really repetitive and unsatisfying. So I am a little lost..

Warriors attack fast so maybe thats sort of like a rogue? I usually play healers or casters in other games but I really like the Lancer in this game. Play a lancer!

Both Warriors and Slayers have Backstab where you home in on someone's rear for a gank if that's what you're into. Warriors can also summon a shadow clone, which also lends to a sort of cunning fighter archetype.

Archer is as far away from a rogue archetype as possible, the closest class to archer is berserker except you get your cyclone equivalent on level 58 instead of 3, and you compensate by doing dps from 8-10m instead of melee. Archers also get to naturally destroy everyone in pvp because they get to have high burst, decent amount of cc and great area control.

Okay, so I just started this game with another goon. It's been a LONG time since I've played any MMO for more than an hour or two. I'm talking Neocron era (custom RagnarokOnline servers not included). I ran through the tutorial with all the different classes, but spent most of the time just getting a feel for the game. I've played a Slayer and a Sorc both to about 10, but I'm considering deleting one and trying a more unique class, e.g. mystic or priest. I'm trying to decide between Priest or Mystic for when I'm running Co-Op with my friend, and then I'll have another char for when I play by myself. For the Co-Op char, my friend is playing Lancer. If I go with Priest, am I pretty much just standing there healing or am I actually getting in the battle as well? Reading some of the earlier pages it seems like Mystics might be a little underpowered for solo play.

Lancer and Priest/Mystuc will get you in any dungeon instantly but it'll be slowwwwwwwwww to level. You should get Sorc to 26/Slayer to 18 before shelving them (Warrior to 28, Zerker/Archer to.... I forgot)

Reading some of the earlier pages it seems like Mystics might be a little underpowered for solo play. Priests actually kill decently fast and with the damage buff to lancers, they are not as slow as they used to be. Mystics kill slower, but they provide auras that end game groups love. As healers, you start off standing around healing but as you get to progressively harder dungeons, you need to start dodging lasers, aoes, lockons. You'll need to dispel bosses, kite monsters and other stuff. Healers are probably the easiest to play but you'll still have to do some work rather than standing around staring at health bars. Like 70% of healing is positioning. You're never really spamming heals because a lot of attacks can 1 shot people even with full health.

I don't even know the point of playing anymore.double edit: Turns out a female high-elf named "Eyes.Are.Uphere" is available.

That's not your perception, it's objectively true. Mystics get 2 attacks you can functionally use, all the way until 60. It's beyond boring.

I played this briefly during beta and enjoyed it with some friends, but not enough to subscribe. How has their support been? Regular updates? New content? Are the endgame dungeons or endgame play in general fun? Are the classes all useful and fun? I don't care about pvp and I'm lukewarm about raids at best.

Updates are a little slow but you have plenty of time to learn hard modes and such before new content. End game dungeons consists of doing hard modes which are quite difficult. They're basically powered up 5 man dungeons with better loot and harder gimmicks. Every class is useful with berserkers having a harder time at end game hard modes because of their lack of dodge. Mystics being preferred over priests because of their aura. But they can still be done with those classes. The amount of fun you get from a class is subjective. Try them all out, theres always one class that appeals to you most. There aren't any raids in the game yet. Unless you want to count Nexus Traverse which is a 10 min dungeons that opens once/twice a day at set times. You basically go in zerg down boss collect loot and leave.

I hit 45 last night with my Warrior and I'm starting to get a bit bored, although I have been pretty much soloing the whole game so far. Is there much I can do to spice things up a little? I'm a bit worried that any good dungeon groups at my level will expect me to know what I'm doing since I'm not a really low level any more.

Honestly? Take a break and play something else for a bit. Levelling-wise TERA isn't exactly the most paradigm-smashing MMO and later levels can get pretty brutal in terms of the exp you need and the mobs you're expected to kill. It's F2P now so there's no reason not to just drop it for a bit and come back later when you feel like slashing some dudes up. That said getting to 60 with at least one character is totally worth it because the gear you get is fantastic-looking and the dungeons are great.
