@Arlos pls. No need to get offensive.

Thumbs up for the effort, @EcLiiPsesHD, but it's a basic guide, really. Hope to see an improved version in the near future.

Just a hint: Titanic Favour has a long animation lock and isn't recommended to be used most often, unlike Boomerang, Thrall of Life and Totem (also locks you for a moment but it even has DPS benefits too). Also, Corruption Ring sort of must have the 50% damage mitigation glyph on as this makes it basically an emergency defensive skill, plus gives you a bit of extra security when you do use it in close proximity to bosses.

Hello boy!

Why would you change your email address? When was the last time you successfully logged into and played TERA? Have you made any changes to your operating system (Windows) and/or Internet connection since then?

Do you have an ad blocker? Can you log into your account on the main website? What about the old account management page?

Can you open this website and post only the very last row. See here for further reference on 'An error has occurred, please try again later':
TERA launcher issues made simple - error messages explained, plus Steam players notes
Make sure to read the description.

In order for you to contact Support, you need to create a support account first. It's different to your game account. You can, however, use the same email address.
Alternatively, you can use your Steam profile details to register and log into the support system.

You can have only one TERA account linked to your Steam profile at a time. There's a chance you've mistaken your login details. How do you try logging in - via normal launcher or via Steam?

At this point, you should contact Support and wait for their reply. Let us know what they told you and how things went, and whether you still need help.
Feel free to message me on Discord if you like - Sun#0314 - to troubleshoot the issue together.

Good luck!

Could you check when your temp crit dragon expires? Are you getting a perm one for it from the Titan event?

Support are answering tickets today but I doubt they'll reply to you before Monday/Tuesday. Also, chances are your passive is either going to expire or will fix itself at some point. Or they'll feed you some nonsense like 'you appear to have it on your passives page' although you'd just told them that it didn't work.

In addition, you can buy a CD key and apply it in the old account management.

You: Is there a way?
Me: Yes.

I'd say that's pretty helpful.

Knowing that something's possible gives you a starting point. Wouldn't you agree?

Feel free to message me on Discord about it.

Yes... or so people say.

So, did you merge Sikander into Mystel or did you actually add Mystel content into Sikander, or how did it work? Did you do this whole merge just to physically get rid of the old servers? I fail to see the logic.

1. Item Claim got bugged even for Mystel (i.e. older server) players. If my thread - Any Item Claim mess news? - hadn't abusively got closed for no reason, I could've added extra information that might have helped tech support identify the source of the problem more quickly such as dates of items that haven't disappeared but I guess community feedback doesn't matter as usual;
2. Gear/Outfit presets got reset - something you claimed wouldn't be transferred over for Sikander players but it appears to have affected everyone from Mystel as well;
3. Vanguard Valor login buff is bugged for players who had characters on Sikander and haven't played there in the past week. I logged in only once - the day before the merge and now I have Valor I instead of Valor III.

Merge eve:

Merge day:

Merge wiped all of my 13 Item Claim pages except the first one. Any ETA on fixing that? @Athena

Among other things, I had character slots in there, permanent mounts from giveaways, reset scrolls, emblems, marks etc. The only reason why I didn't take screenshots of my Item Claim was because you reassured us that it and even parcels and brokerage listings would be transferred. Worst part is I didn't have anything transferred from Sikander as far as Item Claim is concerned.

The biggest inconvenience is one has to use the skill twice because although it's not on, the skill icon indicates otherwise, so instead of activating it, it turns it off although it's already off. The second use activates it for real. Not a huge thing, as one can simply glance at their buff bar or those of party members to check whether the aura is on, but annoying nevertheless.

Now that they fixed the auto turning off of auras upon entering/leaving an instance or a battleground, I'm still used to the bugged way where I had to reactivate them. I doubt they'll ever fix the Noctenium bug where Noctenium also gets deactivated upon entering/leaving an instance, including teleporting within the same dungeon.

A thing to help with mid-fight issues is to drop and use an MP mote when we've about 40% MP left, especially if Thrall of Life is on cd and we can't deal with emergency MP consumption. It's a skill we have and there's no reason not to use it for our own benefit. Another application is for mote detonation but that is more of a 'for fun' kinda skill than an actually useful healing (or even damage) spell, especially when someone is slaying. It does have a dual effect nevertheless - HoT plus instant MP regen but more often than not I just spam way too many motes of both types in order to have a reason to actually use the mote bomb skill. For instance, I know no-one will bother picking up motes (it's a shameful thing to use motes - better just blame the healer, haha), so I just drop at least one near tank, melee and ranged DDs at RM HM first boss and detonate them after a colour switch. Fun times... q_q

Funny how moderators and admins couldn't be bothered to answer a simple question a whole day (too bad it was in the right section, so no need to post useless comments about moving it) but when you point that out to them they instantly get 'offended', warn and ban you for 'disrespecting' them, as if they deserved my respect in the first place. Anyone sees a pattern? Nah, don't reply - they could get offended again. L-M-A-O Not even funny but better smile for good health.

Quote from Jetboy

Is there a way to change them without much cost, or would it be faster to reroll new character(it takes about 2 days)?

First, welcome back!

Remaking your character would cost you much more than a few semi-enigmatics because you won't get League of Levellers freebies a second time for the same class. Even without the levelling event, it's highly not recommended to relevel just for that as you'll just waste your time for nothing unless you enjoy levelling or want more alts. Or you forgot to use a BuddyUp code.

To get up to speed with how things work now, you can take a look here:
How to Tera (+level 65 beginners guide)

To your question - as already mentioned before me, you could do Ghillieglade for a week or two and hope to get the desired amount of SES - one run per day per character for non-Club players. However, you should know that upon upgrading your item (from, say, Twistshard to Frostmetal) you get a completely new enigmatic item. It's now free to set stats upon identifying an item, so you can either wait until your next upgrade and pick a new set of stats for free, farm SES or just buy some scrolls off the brokerage (get one first, then check how many you'll actually need). Scrolls can be purchased for these new Entropic Emblems too. Right clicking them opens their shop. For enchanting materials, however, you should use the Metamorphic Emblems shop because it's cheaper. If you have some old enchanting materials such as Masterwork Alkahest, you can dismantle them into Entropic Emblems.

Another thing that is still not in the Rookie Guide above is that you can now unlock a second set of stats for your gear pieces without the need of getting a second item. You just pay a flat (and rather low) fee and you practically get a new item. So, there's no need to have one weapon for PvE and one for PvP for example, or one for warrior tanking and one for warrior dpsing. You can get a second set for both Frostmetal (about 10k per piece) and Stormcry (about 20k per piece). The 2nd set will have random stats, so you must use SES to get the ones you like.

Rerolling is generally only needed if one wants to experiment with weapon or jewellery stats, as it's free to get the stats you desire the first time you identify an item. No need to lock stats with Spellbind and rely on RNG each time you reroll with Master Enigmatic Scroll, or just to RNG in the case of rerolling jewellery with Semi-Enigmatic Scroll. And, as just mentioned above, when one unlocks a 2nd set of stats for their gear piece (weapon, body or light armour). Using SES as a means of trading Entropic Emblems is a less popular use of the former.

Have fun!

maybe a tech support could open a ticket for my email adress if he sees this?

A Community Manager says posting one's e-mail address is OK but not according to a lower ranked admin who's inventing rules again. You ask for help and not only isn't he helping you get your issue resolved quicker but he's actually standing in your way. Even if a tech support rep bothers to read the forum out of boredom, Vayus has made sure you wouldn't receive any help. Congrats!

Quote from NarSixx

Hello people, I don't know how to deal with my problem, so I thougt asking community would be may be helpful.

Hey there,

Where are you from - Baguetteland perhaps? Why are you playing on Seren? If you do speak French, you can explain your problem in the French section of the forum.
Assistance technique entre joueurs
Who knows, maybe you won't get the kind of "help" you got from the EN admin. Judging by how stupidly they closed the PS4 thread but ignored the one with a launcher issue, it's safe to assume you'll also get ignored. If you say 'can be closed' though, they'll rush in to "help," I promise you.

Now that we've set the right expectations, can we move onto looking for a solution to your problem.
2 days ago a new player (from Hungary) approached me on Discord about the 'Termination code 5 (DirectX)' error. We sorted the issue and he could join the game. Literally 2 hours later another dude, a semi-returning player (this time from Poland) contacted me about the very same error. What are the odds, eh?
Anyhow, it turned out this wasn't his only problem. After dealing with that error, the game wouldn't still start. There was no error anymore, no nothing. As soon as he tried to log in, the game client wouldn't even make an attempt to start (we were monitoring his task manager to see if the process starts at all). We tried logging into his account on the main website - we couldn't (delay creating account or something message). Oh, btw, they both got the game via Steam. Then I asked him to try logging into the 'old' account management - it let him in but it said there was no game account associated with his profile. Like wtf. We assumed his account might have even been deleted. Since he had some low level char before, he didn't really care about that account, so he just created a new one as an alternative to going through Support trying to recover his old account. Since the 'code 5' error was no longer present, he could log into his new account effortlessly and thus re-join the game.

OK, I'm not too sure any of the above is relevant to you (haha) but you should be prepared that your old account has been lost. This said, try creating a new one with a different email address (don't create multiple accounts at once though!!) and see if you can log into the game. You can then contact Support (in French) about your old account. Yes, I know you "can't" contact them. First, game/website account is different to your Support account. Second, you can always create another Support account and use it to contact Support about your other account, provided you can prove you're the owner of it. I've done it before, so it's fine.

Not going to go into too much detail about the 'unexpected' error, as it could mean a lot of things, including connection problems, hosts file, banned account, naughty anti-virus/defender/firewall, which might not even be related.

Good luck!

A mate had his crit damage passive bugged - although he had a perm dragon, the passive wouldn't proc. He used a temp dragon from the weekend 'event' and sent a ticket to Support. As expected, they told him he had the passive. haha These people...
Luckily, after the temp mount was gone, the perm one re-activated.

Your case is different, however, because you can't just use a temp blue phoenix, as such skillbooks aren't available to us. You gotta write to Support and ask them to fix your passive. Let us know how it goes.

Good luck!

Salut gars!

Have you contacted Support about this? How did they assist you?

There's a known solution for the DirectX issue for Windows 10 users - disabling fullscreen optimisation. I even first saw it in a German thread.

Dc mit DirectX und Ram Fehler

Have you checked this random video I found on the netz?

You can start by reading the description.
I should just make a sequel, I guess.

What Windows do you have - 7/8/10? Also, is it 32- or 64-bit?
There's a known possible issue with fullscreen optimizations for Windows 10 users. Howeverly, I don't need to disable that although I've been using Windows 10 for a week now. Not because I like this shit - on the contrary, I'm used to Windows 7 and it had served me well for years. I just want to be able to better help people who are running the latest version of Windows, as I didn't even know how to change the screen resolution until last week.

Try to disable full-screen optimisations. You can see here for reference:
Crash on start up. Termination code:5
Also, try updating (reinstalling) your DirectX.
I can take a look for you over TeamViewer.
Alternatively, you can contact TERA Support.

Error code 5: DirectX

Quote from zCristi

I fixed it! I unnistaled the game , and downloaded it from the oficial source , not steam . Now working

Quote from Sunflare

Reinstalling is hardly "fixing" but I'm glad you resolved the problem in the end. As you can see in the thread I linked above, the player's issue (code 5) was resolved, as far as I remember, by replacing only his configuration files which is like nothing (no need to re-download the whole 42 GB). And the other dude confirms that disabling full-screen optimisations could help with this error.

Error termination 5 -_-

Is it possible your card is malfunctioning? Have you cleaned the dust from your laptop?
What's your performance index number?
What is your Windows? If you reinstall everything and then get the previous gpu driver, it should be like before. If it's not, then the problem is not with the driver.

Well failed indeed!

Do get into a helpful guild though, whatever secret server you're on. At the very least you'll have people to socialise with.

Have fun!

Is it possible you're missing underwear or a circlet?
Also, you can go to the IoD via Pegasus from Velika. There's a North Dock teleport scroll you should've received as well. Later, you can just press H and go to the IoD instantly after choosing to teleport to a BAM quest location.

No idea why you keep ignoring some of my questions. Golden Talents are so cheap that you could probably get hundreds by your guildmates just like that.

Press T to enchant your gear. The same window can be opened from your inventory - bottom left button there. If you have enough Golden Talents, Wood Scrap and gold, you can +6 the Guardian set, then upgrade it to Twistshard and start enchanting again later on. The upgrade button is also at the bottom of your inventory - second button from the left. Guardian set doesn't fail when enchanting and upgrading. Same goes for Guardian jewellery - it is guaranteed to upgrade if you have the required mats. And to get mats, you gotta do the starter dungeons. You even get a story quest for them - Kalivan's Challenge, Shattered Fleet, Ravenous Gorge. You also get a quest for Thaumetal Refinery which gets you some crystals and extra glyph boxes.

There's the so called Looking for Group menu which lets you search for parties or party members. Press "Y" to give it a go. Make sure you've selected 60 to 65 at the bottom and don't type anything in the search box (just press "Enter").
You can also use the Dungeon Matching System (aka IMS, or Instance Matching System) provided your item level is sufficient.

When you check for available Vanguard quests, there are checkboxes for the different types of activities - story, dungeons, battlegrounds, solo. Tick only the one(s) you want to see. Just because there's an available quest (solo ones for example), it doesn't mean you have to do it. You've a limit of 16 VG quests per day, so you have to prioritise in case you decide to use them all.

Like I said, tell us what server you're on. It's easier and faster to get help this way.
Where are you from btw?

First of all, welcome to TERA!

Do you mean you don't know what to do now that you've reached level 65?
Do you know how to enchant and upgrade your gear? If not, then you probably suck.
For first steps into endgame, you can have a read here:
How to Tera (+level 65 beginners guide)

Have fun!

P.S. It'll help if you write what server you're on. Use /c chat to look for a guild or press G to apply to an active guild.

Quote from Santetsu

is there a way to know when they will spawn?

There is no way to know because Gameforge can't be bothered to tell us even what part of the day BAMs could spawn, so it's more or less useless content to people who can't log in on extremely short notice or can't be online for up to 10 hours a day (even then, there's no guarantee the BAM will spawn when they happen to be online).

The old schedule is not applicable anymore, except for BAM names and days but this does little good, really. It can be used, however, as a general guideline. For instance, it's now known that PvP area BAM is only one - Anansha - which spawns on Tuesday and Friday. I've seen it spawn in the evening a few times - around 9:30-10:30 pm CEST. There's no official timeframe though, which is beyond stupid. @Athena

Quote from Lightningstrike

the problem is that only if u are on 1 of the raids that gets rank 1/2/3 wins. At least I only got the reward once, ... after that I have always been there and got nothing.

That's why you try and do your best as a group to be in top 3 raids, which includes using some consumables and not inviting 5-6 healers for example for a PvE BAM. I simply don't remember whether 4th and 5th raids get anything at all. I know for sure that #1 and #2 raids get a CU 11-20 box which has a guaranteed Elemental Essence, and #3 raid gets a box with enchanting materials but without an Essence.

While guild BAMs are mostly done for personal gain, there's also a guild quest associated, so you could just go there on your own after taking the quest, hit it once and wait for it to die. From my experience, one gotta hit the BAM and be within looting range (100 m, I believe) when the BAM dies for the quest to count as completed.

Quote from Grooum

When i wanted to back, to game the problem began, I mean, in choose character screen I can't choose my main character (Kamilo) - when i want to press play or doubleclick, it doesnt react and it makes me unable to do any things, i have to restart game. I want to add, that i can log in into other characters in this account, even in this server.

Quote from Sunflare

There used to be a forum thread with over 2,700 posts about this but they closed it because they couldn't be bothered to help players in need of immediate assistance anymore.
Stuck Characters?
Instead of posting there, we're now forced to send a support ticket and wait for 2-3 days to regain access to our characters. Cool, innit!?

Apart from writing to Support (...) (they don't work over the weekend anyway ), you can, while waiting, use the Repair function of the launcher. A guildie's "method" of dealing with this problem is... re-downloading the game. rip He says it works for him though. Hope it does for you too. It wouldn't work for me because that's 2/3 of my monthly data allowance.

Good luck!
