Event: T, E, R, A – These are the letters you’re looking for!

    Update 2: We increased the spawn rate heavily for a 2nd time now.


    Thank you for the effort, it's nice to see you guys listen to us ^_^
    I'll report back to let everyone know if the change can be felt.


    EDIT: I went through the zone where Frontera is and found two boxes in 20 minutes, which was nice. Then I went through the entirity of Feral Valley without any luck, so people shouldn't be hunting there.

  • How the hell do you get the mount? I used T, E, R, A fireworks all in row and nothing happened

    You do not need the fireworks, but the letters.

  • People sell the firework letters for a lot of money, and gullible people buy them. I had to tell a guy that he bought useless items for thousands of gold... The spawn rate is better, now the drop chance needs adjustment. Gathered 10 boxes and opened them, got my first valuable item, Extensive Alkahests, a Smileyface costum, a honker, and the rest are fireworks.

  • 4 box in 2 days for me...........all useless item

    Only found 5 or so in these past couple of hours. This might be because it's evening and weekend.
    Even though I know how to farm them it's still pretty slow, considering it's a server event, I think this respawn rate is slow. Perhaps increasing the spawn rate based on server population at the time as well? More players online = faster spawn rate.


    But currently as it stands it's still pretty hard to find them. This is a personal opinion. I'm aware you don't want to be giving the mount away to everyone on the server. If you try to log onto Killian and just run around aimlessly looking for them it's pretty difficult to find them.


    I'm currently using some tips and tricks and know where some general respawn zones are. But not knowing which channel it will respawn on. What time they respawn at. Factor in the number of players also searching. Killian players are going to have it pretty hard.

  • Darkeingel do you have the real letters or the firework letters? if you already aware of the difference sorry about the question.
    If you really do have the Letters how many boxes did it take? since the last thing i read the letters cant be traded

  • Can't be traded, correct. I opened about 50-55 boxes, 1 letter came out of it, 5 honkers, 1 fiery shade, 1 alkahest and the rest bloody fireworks. I hate fireworks for life. Now I have 8 and don't know if I should just sell, this seems a waste of time and patience. The spawn rate was nice after second update, but then it's back to old version...

  • WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF a box disapeared in front of me without i hit her!!!!!


    FUCKING EVENT OF SHIT

  • Over 1 hour, only 3 boxes, 2 fireworks and a party hat...


    This is really a hopeless event unless they really change the frequency of boxes...

  • still not a good spawn rate, only 0-3 boxes pre channel. should be atleast 8-10 pre channel.

  • I've been playing all night now, only found two boxes. I don't wanna complain just to complain, but it does seem like this still isn't perfectly adjusted. I've gone through the upper part of the Castanica zones (the one with Fyrmount) on two different channels with no players in sight and no boxes either. I've also been inside caves, where there weren't any either. The two I found were right when I logged it, and they were found in 20 minutes.

    This happened to me once. I tested some things. Boxes are unique to their channel and location. Boxes will also despawn after a certain 'event' (By 'event' I can only assume that it's the box's life span). I tested this by waiting next to a box until it despawned itself.

  • This event is disgusting. Do you enjoy screwing with your costumers? What kind of a-holes came up with this idea? "hey guys, we are 1 year old, let's make our players' lives miserable for couple of days! We will say it's an event and celebration, but rather it will be a migraine-inducing time consuming frustrating hamster-on-a-wheel mindless running without reward! Yeah, that'll show them!"


    This is my first event in Tera and I already hate the next one, and the company who came up with it. Good job.

  • This is probably the only time since I started playing TERA that I was actually frustrated.
    Searching for the boxes... fine, you can find them... less than lizards, but at least lizards gave more usefull stuff. I keep getting those "glasses that make you stupid" and "glasses that look stupid" and "stupid fireworks". Worst yet, no one will even buy that cr4p because it looks stupid and is useless. To add insult to injury, you can't even sell them at a merchant because it has NO SALE VALUE.
    You'll get more use of farming Bastion of Lok once every 1 hour than from opening this stupid boxes.
    True... you can sell them... and risk not getting the mount. And the chances of getting it are one-in-NEVER!
    Fail event to its very core, frustrating and dissapointing.
    WAY TO CELEBRATE YOUR 1ST ANNIVERSARY! Even the Gift Code was useless, bunch of useless fireworks and a flaming aureola THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN KEEP!
    World of Tanks gives you free tanks or gold or chance to win money-making tanks (that you get to keep).
    EVE Online gives you ships you can sell for a high price (currently Gnosis is breaking all records).
    TERA... it gives you useless cr4p you can't keep or sell!
    This wasn't a gift for all players, but only for the lucky few.

  • Just to state my opinion as well- this event is, so far, a huge failure. You can't expect thousands of players to constantly search for 2-3 boxes per channel AND get mostly fireworks (which are useless) from them. If nothing is done to correct this, I believe a lot of people will lose faith in the company and its capability to produce quality events. It's TERA's damn One Year Anniversary, this is the time when you can give the players something much better to look forward to.
    Hope I got my point through and measures are taken or, as a last case scenario, the event gets re-done after the issues with it are fixed.
