I didn't see this in the first few posts but what's the cost per month on elite and the rewards? I haven't played since this came out and I appear to have Founder status when I log in but no indicator to what that gets me. About the only thing I care about is having like 4 or so character slots and maybe grabbing an account mount. Edit: Even the en masse account website says gently caress all about what seems to be included. Canopus250 fucked around with this message at 21:07 on Jan 18, 2014 |

Founder gets you a free account-wide mount (It's an electric blue horse... thing), the full 8 characters per server, full bank slots 30 brokerings. Founder will never cost more money. Elite gets you a unique mount that is on rotation (It changes relatively frequently). Two entrances of the "once-daily" dungeons, a double xp from quest (1 day cooldown), double money from quest (same as other) and double daily reputation turn-ins. 50 brokerages and 0% broker fee. You also get a book that lets you teleport to any flight area instantly with no cd, great for new 60s to do their rep grinds. $15 per 30 days. That should be everything important (Haven't used elite since around the turn to F2P, but things shouldn't have changed much)

They recently changed some of the elite benefits so now you get a free permanent item every month. For Jan, its a dyeable steampunk outfit. http://tera.enmasse.com/news/posts/kumasylum-opens-and-elite-changes

Been playing with my Popori berserker I had left at level 30 back in the day, and with the elite status + avatar weapons I'm really having a LOT more fun playing Tera, very glad I came back to it. Plus I remember why I loved the popori animations so much.

Speaking of Avatar weapons, am I missing something obvious or do you just level waaaay too fast to actually get one early game? I got to 4/10 for the first one and I'm already level 20, where I'm getting blue weapons with better stats than that.

AlphaDog posted:I might just be really dumb, but is there a way to get more bag slots? Once you get off the newbie island, you should get a quest 'inventory expansion' or something which will give you an extra row of slots for free. Then you can buy 4 additional rows from the popori guy there for 15silver, 3g, 80g, and 100g respectively. Finally, you get another row of slots each from getting to lvl50 and lvl60. In total, you'll end up with 12 rows / 96 slots. Someone correct me if I missed one!

Yeah the stats seem lower but they have a near 100% crit chance so everything explodes. They are super OP. Elite now gives you: 6x double exp boosts per day. 6x double gold boosts per day. 6x double quest gold boosts per day. 6x double reputation boosts per day. a unique 280 movespeed mount. a 30 day village atlas (which lets you teleport to every town/city rather than go to pegasus platforms or buy teleport scrolls). a 30 day travel journal (set 5 waypoints that you can teleport to). a free costume. up to 5 pages of broker listings per character (non elite = 2 pages per character). broker listings are free (no tax).

KTERA has a few more instance changes coming after the Reaper update. They cannot use the same gear everyone else uses. They have their own specific set. HOWEVER, Balder's Temple (both 5 man and solo) will have a new set of gear that has stats EQUAL to +9 Steadfast. This applies to all classes. Otherwise outside of a few instances (and a particular area), Reaper gear will not drop. Wonderholme will have reaper exclusive gear, and places like Channelworks will drop "styled gear (replaces the remodeler)". As for the Reaper class itself, they will start out at level 50 (you need at least a level 40 character on the server you are playing on), and have their own area to level from 50-58. Exp gains will be dramatically increased there. Gear will drop there, and some cosmetic items will drop as well. Otherwise there is no news on if the reaper class will be released for the other races, but I wouldn't be shocked if it doesn't happen. Nor do I honestly care, because from what I've read, the class is really mediocre. Sorc has shorter downtime when chaining skills. If you manage to complete a full chain, have fun not having any skills for 6 seconds. They also have one or two small invincibility frames, but that's it. People have said its incredibly hard to get behind BAMs, and avoid damage. Burst potential is low as well. Given, this will change over time. If you don't want to read that wall of text above: The reaper class sucks right now. DarkstarIV fucked around with this message at 19:53 on Jan 19, 2014 |

To be quite honest since I am a sucker for that type of character class I will probably make myself one despite it's terribleness. I'm happy to hear they start out at level 50 however, I'm already levelling a berserker and a sorc, I would be burnt to level another class in such a short time.

WanderingKid posted:Warrior damage is massive but requires you to: a) (opener, if debuffs aren't up) combative strike -> traverse cut (wait for 13 stacks) -> blade draw b) pounce -> rain of blows -> rising fury -> blade draw i. when I dodge with roll or DFA, I can follow up with vortex slash -> blade draw ii. when I take damage, staggering counter -> cascade I have rising fury on a separate key since it has a much shorter cooldown than the others, but I don't use it as much since it's kind of slow for the damage it does. As mentioned, it's better as a repositioning tool. One thing I haven't figured out how to use effectively is Smoke Aggressor. It's hard to practice using on my own since it sacrifices a lot of health. Is there a particular point in the fight that it's best to use it? When a boss enrages? When they're stunned? Gear and crystals etc. I've more or less figured out. I'm using power zyrks, +critdmg rings of pain, and running Wonderholme Hard every day for whimsories. Correct me if any of these are a bad idea.

You take less damage when using Rising Fury so you can face tank a little when re-positioning. Rising Fury has 2x parts to it: a quick slash that moves you forward alot and then a slow slash that does most of the damage but doesn't move you forward much + has long frame recovery. Only do the quick slash if you want forward movement. Its very noticeable if you are in combat or if you have a slow debuff on you because using Rising Fury to travel short distances is much faster than running. Follow up with the slow slash if you want want lateral movement and a Blade Draw setup, or if you want the +1 edge. Charging Slash -> Blade Draw is also fast and stacks 2 edge (3 if you have Blade Draw glyphed) Death From Above -> Vortex Slash -> Blade Draw is another quick way to get Blade Draw damage and 3 edge I don't want to say you need +1 edge glyphs to stack 8 edge in 15 seconds but it does make it easier. Smoke Aggressor is situational. It can take a debuff so you may use it on the first boss of MCHM to eat the DoT so another player doesn't have to. As long as you don't attack, it can also take and hold aggro (whilst you rez up a dead party member). It can knockdown and so can be used on Wonderholme when Bandersnatch does the KD shield. quote:I haven't found much up to date info on the various ways of getting Master Glyphs. Are the ones from ToT badge vendors and Talent vendors all the ones that are available? Is it faster to just do PvP and buy glyph boxes? Buy them off the trade broker? Can the glyph boxes give you repeat ones? If so, what do you do with them? You can get master glyphs from Sirjuka Gallery and Temple of Temerity. Completing Sirjuka gives silver and gold talents. 15x silver talents buys you an RNG box that can drop 1 of 5 SjG master glyphs and yes, duplicates are possible. 45x gold talents buys you an SjG glyph of your choice if RNG is not kind to you. Temple of Temerity awards practicum badges and dire badges. 10x practicum badges buys you an RNG box that can drop ToT glyphs. 30x dire badges buys you a ToT glyph of your choosing. Bellicarium RNG boxes can give both SjG and ToT glyphs. If you get duplicate glyphs the only thing you can do is sell them to a merchant for a paltry amount of gold.

The last hit of Rising Fury also has a pretty high KD rate on it. Not enough to regularly topple stuff that isn't specifically vulnerable to KDs, but it is useful in the right situations(it can really come in handy if you're on, say, the last part of the second platform in SG and the rest of your party forgets about the mobs you need to keep down while hammering the BAM; if need arises you can keep them both down by yourself without much issue). If memory serves, it also comes out faster after a Combative Strike(along with a bunch of other moves), but it's been over half a year since I've played so I have no idea if that's still accurate or not. May very well be fuzzy memory speaking here, but I think I recall SG boxes coughing up ToT glyphs on occasion. Not all that often, but don't be surprised if it happens. Regardless, you'll probably want as many of those glyphs as possible, they really do help. Well, most of them; nothing's going to save Poison Blade.

Yeah, its been a while since I got SiJ glpyhs with silver talents. I mainly get them from Bellicarium boxes and gold talents. I wouldn't be surprised if the silver talent boxes gave you ToT glyphs. The RNG ToT boxes can give you random shite like refined alkahest and practicum badges. Poison Blade is never worth glyphing because the damage is rear end. +15% of rear end and double stacks of rear end is still rear end. Its a free +1 edge though and beyond that has some niche uses. If you can hurt but not finish someone in Corsair's Stronghold and they do a runner, its nice to have a poison stack on them before they jump off the wall. It will kill them when they hit the ground.

WanderingKid posted:You can get master glyphs from Sirjuka Gallery and Temple of Temerity. I always found, if you're starting fresh, to do the trials and hoard the Dire/Golds while burning through the random rolls until you start getting more dupes than new glyphs. By then you should only have a couple glyphs you really need left to buy. Then just sell the leftover tokens on the AH  Goes faster if you bring buds along who already have the glyphs and can just unload their tokens on you.

I used to just RNG it with practicum badges and silver talents until I got 80% of the glyphs I wanted. Then I just bought the last few ones with dire badges and gold talents. Now I just spam BG boxes instead and buy the last glyphs with golds/dires.

I've come back to the game after bailing on it in early 2013, does anyone have any handy tips for someone that's likely going to just level solo? Things to do, places to avoid, anything? I literally have no idea about the game at all and absent-mindedly leveled to 35 before returning so I honestly don't even know what's considered good or even essential, and don't want to end up stonewalled and confused. I'm a Sorcerer, if that helps!

I have a question: How active is Corsairs nowadays? I played a couple months back but had to drop it due to being overloaded with work/life during the holidays. Only thing I really did was play CS with WanderingKid and my friends so if it's completely dead no point coming back. Also did the Kuma BG failed hard as it did in Korea?

Got some new tricks to show you too (i.e. hitting the crystal from a tank at mid pyre).

Trip report on the festival so far: Good luck trying to play any of the mini games, as they are limited to one person at a time. The odds of you getting in are slim to none. May as well wait a month or two until you are able to get in without having to fight for the spot. It's not instanced either, so its first come, first serve. I have no clue what BHS was thinking when they designed this event.

 "I guess we'll set up TELEPORTALS and instances for these events...?" "Nah, nobody plays this game anymore so who loving cares. We'll just PS Home it, it'll be fine." "Good point, back to making Elin animations and bizarre baby-themed content!"I'm not sure I understand the direction they're going with development; maybe they're trying to pander to adult babies?

I played the halloween game till I got a horse I guess if you got all the achievements from the event last summer, you can get a permanent mount during this event. Otherwise its just a 21 day mount. Otherwise the only thing worthy of note is the BAMARAMA, which is basically salty bets. You bet gold tickets on the outcome of BAM vs BAM fights. You can then sell the tickets back to the merchant for 90 silver each.

It gives exp that scales with your level but its so trivial you can't level solely by gathering in any reasonable length of time. At level 54 you'll get 210,000 exp for killing a Tirkai Grizzly (Bear) whereas you would get maybe 2,600 exp for gathering a plant? You nevertheless want to max plant/ore/essence gathering because it unlocks an extra row of inventory space.

I always found that the gathering buffs you get while gathering made it worth it to go after any node you see. They were the difference between normal play and burning everything down with 0 downtime.

Its definitely worth stacking the gathering buffs 3 times. They last 10 minutes and give you nice mana/health regen etc.

They're used to make avatar weapons. Basically, they're incredibly powerful weapons for leveling faster; on enemies around the level of the weapon, they get nearly 100% crit rate. To enchant them, you use 'godly' alkahest and refined 'godly' alkahest, which drops from low level mobs and is extremely cheap on the broker. I've never actually made one myself, but from what I understand you get however many shards you need and craft the weapon, though i don't know the exact process. If I understand it correctly, there is a certain weapon you can make for each level range, and as the level increases so does the number of shards you need. It speeds leveling up tremendously from what I hear.

I sounds like quality of life thing for leveling but I have no idea where I can get information on it. Relic pieces will start dropping for you after level 20ish and it'll be incredibly obvious because they have a giant pillar of light coming out of them. When you pick one it it'll be like "YOU JUST GOT x OF y PIECES!". Once you get all the pieces you can assemble the weapon and start enchanting it with the shards/alkahest you've also been collecting (you'll get a new one every 5 levels or so). The weapons are superpowered and the only thing you need to use until the cap*. Don't farm for the pieces, they seem to only drop as you enter new questing zones. I just started playing this game with my roommate and we've just been following the main story quest and doing every quest we come across and we've gotten new weapons at the pace of "right before the next dungeon we need to do" almost every time.
