    An action-packed year of TERA is slowly drawing to a close. Arborea enjoyed lots of fresh impetus in 2017, as we celebrated the game’s fifth anniversary together and fought our way through unique extreme dungeons.
    The game was furnished with an all-new enchantment system, and until mid-January players have the chance to really test their mettle on the thrilling event server Manahan.


    So let’s ring out the old and ring in the new – join our celebrations by picking up a few fireworks by 1st January 2018!

    2018PARTY


    Even More Action in 2018
    The coming year has plenty of epic changes in store for you, and we’d like to give you a sneak preview of all that you can look forward to in the next half year!#SHORTTEXT#
    Please note: The following names are not final and may be subject to change.


    New Guardian Missions
    We’re starting the new year with a blast as fresh challenges arrive in Arborea’s open world from January. Fight against various bosses with your friends, defending supply trains against hordes of enemies, plus jump to the colors with the tuwangi!


    Male Brawlers
    The Brawler is shedding her gender-lock in 2018, giving you the chance to don powerfists and pummel your enemies under a flurry of blows with human male characters.


    Battleground Rankings
    Change is also coming to PvP play, and during the next year we’ll see new battleground rankings visible in game.


    Class Specializations
    Harder, stronger, awesomer! Check out the new legendary skills which aren’t only gorgeous to look at, they give you an entirely different feel when playing the game. Seven existing classes will gain access to their specializations in the first batch. Mystics, for example, will be able to summon a new pet, while Berserkers can take two axes instead of one for cutting through the enemy ranks.


    Heads Up for Individualization
    TERA recently saw the addition of the flying costume, a cool new type of gear. In 2018 further customization options will only add to the variety, including hairstyles which allow you to be picked up by other characters, plus more options when placing your head accessories. Larger, smaller, rotated or transposed, in 2018 you’ll be able to wear your hats, bows and other accessories exactly as you please!


    Talismans
    Tweak your playing style with talismans! In 2018, these handy items will be available to boost or modify your skills in dungeons, opening up even more freedom in how you play.


    Plus More to Come
    This overview is just a brief glimpse of what’s lined up for the coming year. As ever, TERA has plenty in store for 2018, including challenging instances, more background story, a new battleground and more…


    Here’s to the new year full of thrilling battles and exciting new features!
    The TERA Team

    Manahan

    • Double Loot

      • Double Loot setting didn't fully work on Manahan in higher dungeons under some circumstances. This was fixed today (~13:36)
    • Battlegrounds

      • To enable better group searches, we've reduced the period of the bigger group BG Events (implemented last week Thursday).
      • Since the BG Pool on Manahan is the server itself, creating LFG groups for other times should be a good alternative
      • Schedule:




    All Servers



    • Dreadspire Uppers

      • To allow for two different balancings to be experienced (more extreme, as well as more normalized), we've implemented the following schedule:
      • Days marked in Green will see the buff "Goddess Blessing" be applied to every group member (+23 Power & Endurance)
      • Schedule:


    OVERVIEW - DATES, SETTINGS AND MORE



    This unique new event server offers up an entirely new TERA experience! Opening its doors on 12th December, “Manahan” will be available for just a few short weeks until roughly mid-January, when we update the servers to patch 64. During this time, the influence of the fallen god on the dream will be palpable, providing you with an exciting alternative reality to explore on this special server.
    Every TERA player is free to create a new character on Manahan. Please bear in mind:

    • Manahan is an international PvE server.
    • Each player gets 2 character slots. Character slots cannot be expanded.
    • Shortly before the end of the event, all players who have reached level 65 will receive one character transfer for free.

    To provide an alternative playstyle to the normal TERA Servers, playing on Manahan will feature a plethora of changes for you to enjoy:


    EQUIPMENT - MORE LOOT AND QUICKER PROGRESS

    It is only a matter of time before Arun and Shara manage to banish Manahan to the condescension of oblivion once more. Use this opportunity on the event server to round out your gear!
    More info


    PVE - TOUGHER DUNGEONS AND KELSAIK BOSS BATTLE

    Manahan’s influence seeps through the dream, manifesting itself in epic PvE challenges. Tons of instances come in a tougher flavor, while even the open world has changed! Bosses in Manahan’s level 60+ dungeons have a higher attack speed, plus additional stat boosts depending on the dungeon.
    More info


    THE RETURN - DREADSPIRE: NOW WITH ADDED DREAD

    Out in the snowy depths of Westonia, the gates to this icy tower have been frozen solid for a long time. But that which was held fast in an icy prison now returns to life in answer to Manahan’s summons. Will you flee in terror? Or stand once more unto the breach of dread?
    It was Manahan’s power that broke the icy seal, but the Dreadspire will return to life on all servers. Enter the dungeon using the Dreadspire Teleport Scroll which can be purchased from merchants. Steel yourself for extreme dread.
    More info


    REWARDS - EPIC ITEMS FOR EACH MILESTONE

    Fight your way to the top! We’ve got amazing reward chests lined up for you when you reach various milestones on Manahan, giving you extra loot either on the event server or other servers
    More info


    LEVELING UP - MORE EXCITING DUNGEONS, TOUGHER FIGHTS!

    Huh, easier and yet more difficult? How does that work? Well your path to level 65 will be an entirely new experience. While all class stats have been slightly tweaked and the required experience points increased, the first couple of dungeon encounters will be extremely quick thanks to Kaia’s help!
    More info


    PVP - HIGHLY MODDED BATTLEGROUNDS

    Some serious changes are awaiting you in PvP! We’re reshuffling the selection of battlegrounds, adding new functions and mixing things up with different player numbers.
    More info


    TRANSFERS - KEEP YOUR CHARACTER AFTER THE EVENT!

    Manahan will be open as an event server for a few weeks and then closed again at the end of the event. All players who reach level 65 with a character on Manahan will receive a free transfer to a server of their choice at the end of the event. It is not possible to transfer characters to or from Manahan during the event itself.

    The next patch is ready for release in December: patch 63 sees the reopening of Lakan’s Broken Prison, giving you a chance to take on the brutal Balbatos!

    Hello everyone,


    It was indeed preferable to keep informations from the test-server private, but anyway now it's too late.
    It's nice of you to make a guide to help others, thanks for that :) , but please if there is a next time ask us first!


    Thank you for your comprehension.


    Kind regards,
    Athena


    PS: I will keep this thread open but please avoid criticism regarding this. As I said it's already done and I answered about it.

    De vieilles connaissances et de nouveaux défis : dans la mise à jour 63, Arborea est à la merci des dieux lugubres ! La Prison de Lakan ouvre à nouveau ses portes et le Pic de l'effroi revient avec des horreurs encore plus saisissantes. De plus, le serveur évènement Manahan vous tend les bras. Oserez-vous affronter les puissances obscures ?



    Instances

    Prison de Lakan
    Dans la Prison de Lakan, vous pourchassez une nouvelle fois Baalbaoth qui veut à tout prix remettre l'appareil mystérieux à Lakan.

    • Pour les groupes de 5 joueurs
    • Niveau d'objet requis : 439
    • 1 accès quotidien pour tous, 2 pour les membres du club

    Station de recherche de Syruk

    • Ajustement des coups critiques face aux archidevans


    Autres modifications

    • Ajustement des bonus de l'Initiative de l'avant-garde existants pour 3, 5 ou 7 jours de présence, désormais atteints après 2, 4 ou 6 jours
    • Il est désormais impossible de faire évoluer l'équipement s'il n'est pas lié à un personnage.


    Spécificités régionales

    Pic de l'effroi DÉMENT
    Des boss nettement plus forts et du butin grandiose : venez profiter de la réouverture d'un des donjons les plus difficiles !

    • Pour les groupes de 5 joueurs
    • La difficulté augmente d'un boss à l'autre
    • 5 accès quotidiens pour tous

    Veuillez noter que les modifications apportées au Pic de l'effroi n'ont pas été implantées par le développeur, mais par nous, l'éditeur du jeu. Quelques problèmes d'affichages divers ne sont donc malheureusement pas à exclure. Problèmes connus :

    • Les téléportails permettant d'entrer dans le Pic de l'effroi et de se téléporter dans le donjon indiquent des destinations erronées (par exemple, le Sanctuaire effondré)
    • Dans quelques cas isolés, les argons rouges n'apparaissent pas tous auprès de Melkatran
    • Les dégâts infligés ne s'affichent pas toujours correctement chez Kaprima

    Le serveur évènement
    Le serveur évènement Manahan ouvre également ses portes en Europe à l'occasion de la mise à jour 63. Vous y découvrirez de nombreux éléments modifiés, encore inédits sous cette forme ! Ceci comprend entre autres :

    • Un butin doublé dans toutes les instances
    • Une expérience d'objet doublée via les quêtes
    • Des récompenses spéciales pour différentes étapes de votre progression
    • Des familiers qui accordent des bonus à l'invocation
    • … Et bien plus encore !

    Veuillez noter que les paramètres du serveur évènement n'ont pas été implantés par le développeur, mais par nous, l'éditeur du jeu. Quelques problèmes d'affichages divers ne sont donc malheureusement pas à exclure, comme par exemple dans les champs de bataille.


    Prison de Lakan
    Comme les autres donjons 4 étoiles, celui-ci octroie du butin supplémentaire :

    • 35x bon de mode
    • 20x marque de bravoure d'Élion

    Familiar faces and brave new challenges – Arborea has fallen under the Shadow of the Dark Gods in the upcoming patch 63! Lakan’s Prison is reopening its gates, while the Dreadspire returns packing in even more dread. Plus there’s a special event server Manahan where you can make a name for yourself. Can you defy the forces of darkness?



    Instances


    Lakan’s Prison
    Follow Balbatos into Lakan’s Prison once more where he is trying to deliver his mysterious device to Lakan, whatever the cost.

    • Difficulty increases from boss to boss

    Please note: The changes to the Dreadspire were made by us the publishers and were not implemented by the developers directly. This may result in certain potential display issues. Known issues:

    • Teleportals for entering the Dreadspire as well as teleporting in the dungeon itself display incorrect location names (e.g. “Collapsed Sanctuary”)
    • In rare cases, not all red argons appear in the fight against Melkatran
    • Not all damage dealt against Kaprima is displayed correctly

    Event Server
    With the launch of patch 63 in Europe, the special event server Manahan will also be opening its gates. Experience TERA like you’ve never seen it before, including:

    • Double loot in all instances
    • Double item XP from quests
    • Special rewards for various milestones
    • Pets which grant you buffs when summoned
    • … and much more!

    Please note: The event server settings were set by us the publishers and were not implemented by the developers directly. This may result in certain potential display issues, such as on the battlegrounds.


    Lakan’s Prison
    Additional loot drops like in existing 4-star dungeons:

    • 35x Fashion Coupons
    • 20x Elleon's Mark of Valor

    Are you ready for an entirely new TERA experience?
    Patch 63 “Shadow of the Dark Gods” sees the return of Lakan’s Broken Prison, but another sinister power is stirring in the darkness.
    When patch 63 is released on 12th December, the event server “Manahan” will open its gates for just a few short weeks.
    Immerse yourself in this exciting alternative reality: Manahan, the fallen and forgotten god, has torn through the veil of the dream and completely altered the face of Arborea!


    Here are some of the changes you can look forward to:

    • Quicker progression from level 65, e.g. equipping and earning item XP

    The Festival Hall dungeon closed its doors yesterday (07.11.2017) as scheduled.


    However, we know that some players still have some left over Halloween Candies in their inventory.
    Accordingly, we have decided to re-activate the NPC (Ellonia at the Plaza of the Huntress in Velika) so all players can exchange the remaining candies until Monday 13th of November (10:00 CET). :thumbup: Please note that the dungeon will be displayed but cannot be entered.


    The TERA Team.

    Thank you for these precision! I will then check this issue with our team. :elin29:


    EDIT: After verification with them, this is intended. :)
    The only way to leave the Stepstone Isle now (even if characters are 65 and did the quest) is with the Pegasus platform, I will edit the patch notes to add this detail!

    Hello everyone,


    New characters (including previously characters created) on Stepstone Isle can now only leave it once they have reached the level required to end the tutorial.


    @Shippou5, your case seems to be an isolated one, do you know if this situation happens to some other players?
    Also, could you please write a message here Stuck Characters? or directly send a ticket to our support team http://support.en.tera.gameforge.com/ ? (With all details: Character Name / Lvl / Location in game of the stuck character / server) In order to unblock and move your character. :)


    Kind regards,
    Athena
