you're welcome

that comes from achievements.
look in achievement menu. ( main menu-my character-achievements)
the color ( copper-silver-gold-diamond-"champion") is related to how many achievement points you got.
it is purely cosmetic, save for a few small bonuses ( like extra hp / stun resist ) ,
some ( cosmetic) pets, some ( cosmetic) mounts...
this can be checked by using the filter in the achievemnt menu ( "gets an item" and so on)
there are some achievements in there you can no longer achieve ( Legacy-section).
be warned that some are easy, some take endless grind.
still some viable guides online for tera achieves if you need help.
enjoy
p.s. the only dumb question is the one youre NOT asking.

yes some people's moral standards are out the window for the right price or if they can share in the exploited benefits.
imo you never had moral standards anyway then.
it does start with yourself.
but no doubt publisher is to blame too.
why stop, if you dont get banned anyway? maybe the exploiters also buy TT or club and are therefore a source of income and will not be banned.
idk anymore. all i know is in the last year i seen my sources of income reduced to dungeon and shop only. and god knows from dungeon alone you will rarely get what you need, you need to either get some extra from broker or shop.
sheesh these days i spend more time on the forum than in the game.

to each his own... just my feeling

Maybe this is some kind of test to see if players will go for such etchings. And make them permanent in the future, or add some way to get "eternal" versions (a special dungeon, some other content to be popular, etc).
NOT maybe will it be one of the many (since about a year) game "improvements" that lead you to shoppyshopshop.

Hello, there were 2 changes on the event, please feel informed: Events: September
i would love to feel informed lol.
but in 8 years information on changes has been lacking, or completely absent.
you could take BDO as example. go look at any of their patch/maintenance notes.
p.s. they also really FIX things. even a tiny only-one-or-two-persons-have-this-issue things.
-
that was kinda lengthy too
-
all true.
for problem 1: go play BDO. they fix the tiniest problems and post ALL changes that will be implemented in even a maintenance. you can have a look there in one of their maintenance/patch notes and see for yourself.
BDO has downgrading too though, you will even LOSE some almost max gear if it fails.
(coming soon to TERA(?)).
i played it for over a year, but the stupid forced combo's on unreachable ( and HELL to change to another)- keys and the downgrading of my decent gear to shit gear made me quit and play tera again. then Krafton decided it would be a good idea to have downgrading in tera
although here giving info has improved ( 1% but hey...) it still lacks hugely.
after some patch/maintenance suddenly my anni gear downgraded. noted nowhere, never announced. i like surprises but that wasnt one of them.
the second issue is simply greed-driven.
all your problems can be solved by visiting the Holy Shop.
i understand its a business and it cannot run, nor could it be free to play, if there was no income.
however i feel they have overstepped the line.
i dont think its possible to upgrade to max without ever visiting either shop or broker.
three: fashion is rehashed 80% of the time. look at the fabulous new costume (see: shop update) its just the same as the thing they had before which was an ice-flame costume ( idk the exact names) only now *blows my mind have to get it* ITS PURPLE!!!
WOOOOOOOW the same color as top gear/rolls. -_-
all other mounts besides the ones that give extra buff are useless since the introduction of flying ( and buffed) mounts and are nothing more but cosmetic.
i do (did?) like tera, nowhere else is the combat more natural-feeling and the supereasy drag/drop of UI and skills, along with the also supereasy key-reassigns.
but lately... all sources of income/mats outside of dungeon/shop have been deleted.
you can still sell mats or your crafted stuff but, save for a few--VERY few, they wont make much gold. and ( being the Rara Avis in Tera i am) i dont like running dungeons incessantly. especially if i have to do it on all my chars. and the same routine. every day.
idk man. i guess now they are in full greed mode... every patch brings more things that can hardly be farmed enough but there is a solution in the shop...
i think they are underestimating the power of having a large playerbase consisting of both f2p and p2w. they seem to be wanting to kick out f2p.
well you can do that, but then the playerbase ( and with that the possibility of catching whales (or orca's)) shrinks and so will the chances of people spending money here.
if you are gonna wait for gameforge to reply: dont. simply dont.
your statement about lack of communication isnt restricted to the game.
forum is exactly the same.
the only replies i ever see on this forum are from 1 person ( threea <3)
the rest of gf-posts are about maintenance. noooo-no-no not like any info of what will change with maintenance, just that its going to be done or is done. and not always.
hmm you could ofcourse ask a GM in-game!
oh no wait. this is tera. in 8 years i have seen 4-5 GM's.
* with a total of 10 hours in the game . yes all 4-5.
my advice for enjoying the game: just go your own way, enjoy the things you CAN get and ignore everything recommended. also ignore ( most ) people's advice. aside from really usefull tips on gear or skills, they all advise you to level up faster and do the endgame routine).
if you level up a new char: avoid quest and dungeon as they give ridiculous xp.
just go out into the world, explore and (try) kill anything along your way.
this makes (imo) the experience of being here much more enjoyable than following the unwritten ( you must level up faster!) rules to be max level in a matter of hours (!) and then grinding the same stuff over and over and over and over.
just my opinion, maybe i simply miss the adventurous feeling from the days when leveling up to max was difficult. (but with a much more rewarding feeling when you got there).

they just figure they will get even more revenue from doing this. bb tera

THERE IS NOTHING TO DO ANYMORE.
the only thing you can do at 70 is those 3-4 "recommended" dungeons.
crafting-dead
gathering-dead
exploring-dead
exodor the great new zone! - dead
fishing-dead.
world boss hunting-dead ( rather: hijacked by cheaters that can see health)
leveling up-a joke ( hit 10 mobs and voila : level up)
upgrade our gear but dont do any upgrades on open world mobs.... easy kills ( i havent died more than a few times leveling up, or even ZERO deaths) -wouldnt want to chase away new players cos they die too often do we?
not gonna spend my cash on being able to do 3 dungeons fk off.
oh well, thats what you get when something nice gets hijacked by greedy investors.
i have spent money in the past and never regretted it.
not likely to happen again though.
because
THERE IS NOTHING TO DO ANYMORE.

i stand corrected

suit = cp +50%. this seems an awful lot to me.(regarding: <Shop Update: Flying Combat Suitthingum>)
-
and then suddenly it is back.
-
fortunately i can still play, whether or not it detects or not.
-
Is this happening now when switching to the new launcher or was it always like that? I think if I remember correctly, when I was playing via Steam, GE detected me the game but not now with the new launcher.
same here -_^ oh and before new launcher it DID detect.
