Questions regarding TERA 2020

  • Greetings and salutations ^^,


    I have known about Tera since quiet a long time and have a few questions in mind if someone wouldn't mind answering and helping me out


    A-is the game completely free to play or does it have a subscription or premium access I don't mind paying if the perks are decent


    B-are all classes gender locked? I mean like x class is only playable as female i asked as a comment on a YouTube video if I can become a brawler male and someone replied yes but most vids and the class preview show it as only female which is concerning for me as I am just a guy who likes to play male characters nothing too big of a deal just a personal preference


    C-is there a glamor/transmog system like a way to customize your character's appearance which includes an option to hide certain gear pieces like making shoulders invisible for example 0.o


    D-how is the gearing and progression in the game is it like token based say you get x tokens per weeks and spend them at a gear vendor or is it RNG drops and how bad is the RNG if so X. X


    E-how is the upgrading system like in the game is it like minor enchants and gem sockets, does it have a success chance, are the materials related crafting related or can be acquired through several means


    F-can your character become or play more than 1 class 0.o?


    G-how is the end-game like grinding dungeons and raids just asking as I don't like pvp activities and I hope I am not forced to do any of it


    I have played MMOs since 2007 but just need to know those stuff mentioned above I assume the game isn't p2w like some claim and the cash shop is just cosmetics


    The class I have in mind is brawler since it's kinda cool and kickass XDDD


    Any tips would help as well :lol:

    Apologies if anything written is messed or unclear I'll make sure to edit it ASAP if needed ^^


    Thanks and hope everyone is safe in these troubled times :thumbsup:

  • A- It's completely F2P, you can subscribe for some benefits, but they are only useful if you play a lot


    B- The classic classes are not race/gender locked, but the classes Reaper, Gunner, Brawler, Ninja and Valkyrie are gender and/or race locked to female or at least elin. Brawler is the only new class playable as Human Male and Popori.


    C- You can't hide armor, but you can wear costumes that change appearance or use the slot but show nothing (e.g. Face and Back)


    D- You will get basic gear trough story quests, but the gear you will use for endgame drops from dungeons or can be bought in the trade broker. You can collect a few tokens, but the main source of materials will be dungeon drops.


    E- Enchanting equipment is completely RNG, there are no gems anymore (only for jewelry)


    F- No


    G- Only grinding 5-Player dungeons in endgame. There will be a 20-Player raid in the near future though. PvP is optional.

  • Many many thanks that clears things up for me gonna install right away ^^


    OH I completely forgot is there a specific server you recommend or does the game have mega servers I don't wanna feel like I am in a haunted realm qq

  • Deppends on your native language there is a french/german and ne Russian server also you have a International Server called mystel i would say most players are there but some prices are higher than other servers
