Patch 86 arrives on our servers on 15th October! In the hotly anticipated Exodor update, you can discover new zones, make a name for yourself with unknown factions, and much more. We already gave you an overview last week in our preview– and today you can read up on all the details in the patch notes.

Can hardly wait and want to see the patch right
away? Then take a look at the recording of our English-language Twitch Stream!

The Island of Exodor

You’ll be able to explore the new continent floating high above the clouds immediately.

Entry Conditions

· Accessible to characters level 68 or higher

· The quest “Off to Exodor” (level 68) will take you to the island. It is available with patch 86

o You must previously have completed the quest “The Secret Weapon” (level 67)

It isn’t absolutely necessary to enter the island with complete Stormcry Gear. However, this is highly advisable in order to survive the challenges there.

Zones

The following four large areas are new:

· Rogash’s Manor

· Exodor Plantation

· Viridian Mire

· Berak Fortress

In addition, there are various other small islands floating around Exodor.

· Azart Miracle Potion

o The Miracle Potion can be obtained through quests and from reputation shops

Zone Quests

The island also offers a number of zone quests that’ll reward you with additional consumables and card fragments.

New Stats

New Stats

The new gear has a brand-new set of stats to strengthen your character:

· Physical Support

o Adds a set amount of physical damage to your damage

· Magical Support

o Adds a set amount of magical damage to your damage

· Physical Resistance

o Reduces the physical damage you receive

· Magical Resistance

o Reduces the magical damage you receive

· Physical Critical Damage

o Increases the damage of your physical critical hits

· Magical Critical Damage

o Increases the damage of your magical critical hits

Class skills are now affected by the new physical or magical stats. You can find which stats have the greatest influence in the description of the skill.

The healing abilities of priests and mystics are also affected by magical support and magical critical damage.

New Gear

On Exodor, you can collect new gear for characters level 68 or higher that’ll grant you the new stats.

Rarity & Type

The new pieces of equipment (weapon, chest armor, gloves, shoes) come in both magical and physical versions. There are three different sets:

The items found in the world are tradeable, so you can simply trade or sell the gear you find if it doesn’t suit your character.

Possible Stats

Each piece of gear can grant several random stats, depending on their type and rarity. These stats can also vary in strength. The following random attributes are possible:

Furthermore, you can continue to add etchings to your items and add additional stats via equipment merging.

You do not need to collect any item XP for the new gear. However, crystals and dual effects can no longer be used for them.

Additional Information from the Development Team

The new equipment sets are intended as alternatives to existing gear, not as direct replacements. These items are not necessarily stronger than current sets, but they should offer you greater variety with new stats and reduced complexity.

Here is a comparison of the existing and new gear when they have been enchanted:

Additionally, there are plans for creating mythical gear in the future by combining Heroic Oath gear and the new legendary gear. The crafting (or upgrading) of Heroic Oath gear and the collection of the new legendary gear is therefore time well spent!

Enchanting

The new gear is enchanted in a new way to old gear: instead of requiring lots of different materials, you only need two different material types. Additionally, the gear can be damaged similarly to the current PvP sets, but it can never be destroyed.

The same system applies for armor, gloves, and shoes. However, instead of the weapon feedstock, these armor parts require the corresponding armor feedstock.

With the new gear, there is no additional chance of success following failed attempts. The chance is also not shown in the game.

Repair

You will not lose your gear via enchantment. If an item is damaged, do not worry: you can continue to use it in battle without any disadvantages.

A damaged item just cannot be enchanted anymore – you have to repair it first. This can also be done in the Enchantment window. This requires the following items:

The repair is guaranteed to be successful, so you don’t have to worry about failures.

Item Sources:

You can obtain the items for enchantment in various ways:

· Killing monsters in Exodor

o Dark Shard Weapon Feedstock

o Dark Shard Armor Feedstock

· In the Berak Fortress Secret Zone

o Magical Dark Shard Weapon Feedstock

o Magical Dark Shard Armor Feedstock

· Condensation methods

o Condensation method for Sharp Dark Shards (combination of Dark Shard Weapon Feedstock in to Magical Dark Shard Weapon Feedstock)

o Condensation method for Solid Dark Shards (combination of Dark Shard Armor Feedstock in to Magical Dark Shard Armor Feedstock)

· Reputation merchants

o Dark Shard Weapon Feedstock

o Dark Shard Armor Feedstock

Extraction

You can get a variety of items via the extraction of equipment items, such as repair items for damaged gear:

· Dranium Repair Piece

· Dranium Processing Stone

· Pure Dranium Processing Stone

· Equipment Dust (to sell for gold)

Extracting also allows you to get back some of the items you invested when enchanting an item.

Card Album

Starting with patch 86, you can collect card fragments from many game contents, which you can then add to your album (in instances as group loot). The card album is for all of your characters on a server.

Once you have collected enough card fragments of one type, you can complete the corresponding entry in your album and activate the card from then on.

Depending on their type and rarity, cards can have various different effects. You can activate and deactivate them at your discretion, and the more complete entries you have, the more cards you can activate simultaneously.

Combine cards in predefined sets to take advantage of additional bonuses!

Fishing Around the Darkcore on the floating island, there are lots of fishponds where you can catch new fish from patch 86 onwards! The well-known fishponds are marked on the map, while the hidden areas can only be discovered by resourceful anglers:

Fish Bait

The strange fish on Exodor cannot be caught with regular bait. For your fishing trip to be successful, you’ll need a special bait, available from the Exodor Justicar Reputation Merchant.

Crafting

With the fish from Exodor, you can discover new recipes and create tasty new meals to boost your HP, attack speed, and magical or physical support:

· Steamed Invigorating Kirashi

· Steamed Stimulating Kirashi

· [Special] Steamed Invigorating Kirashi

· [Special] Steamed Stimulating Kirashi

Additionally, with the fish from Exodor, you can create new crates for delivery.

Legendary Weapon Skins

Fancy a special weapon? It’s possible to craft a legendary golden glowing weapon skin by completing the Red Refuge multiple times.

The recipe and materials you need for this can be obtained from the final boss in the Red Refuge. Some of the materials can also be purchased from the wandering merchants.

World Bosses

Please note: The two new world bosses and the Guardian Mission with the Gossamer Regent, which were introduced to the Korean version of the game in patch 86, are currently deactivated in our version of the game due to problems when there are too many active players.

This content will be activated again as soon as possible, once the issues have been fixed in a future patch. The following information only refers to the three existing world bosses.

Distribution of Loot

The loot from world bosses is no longer only given to the player who lands the last hit. As of this patch, other players will also receive additional rewards:

· Reward for participating

o For groups with a very high level of participation in the battle (the damage of the entire group is taken into account)

· Jackpot reward

o For a randomly selected participating player

Patch 86 brings the biggest update of the year to our servers: from Tuesday, 15th October, you’ll be able to explore the floating island of Exodor with its four large areas and many smaller islands!

Expect to find mighty opponents, new gear, and untouched fishponds. The new trading card system is also launching, with which you can earn additional stat boosts. Please note that some of the names in this preview may differ in the final version.

Exodor, the Floating Island

Probably the most eagerly awaited new feature is the floating island of Exodor – after all, there are 4 large zones and various small islands just waiting to be explored here.

To reach Exodor, you’ll have to fulfill the following requirements:

· Your character must be at least level 68

· You need to have completed the quest series “The Secret Weapon” in order to start the “Off to Exodor” quest

· It’s best to be equipped with Stormcry gear to stand up to the monsters on the island

If you fulfill these criteria, you will be flown to the island in the course of the “Off to Exodor” quest. The new main quest series will take you through the areas of Exodor with spectacular cutscenes – but we won’t give away too much just yet to keep up the suspense!

New Gear

What would a major update be without new gear?! You can look forward to three whole sets, each with physical and magical versions. The individual pieces of gear may be furnished with different random values.

Until you equip the gear, all items are tradeable. So, if you receive something that isn’t ideally suited to you class, you can simply sell it through the broker or dismantle it.

The new gear is enchanted in a new way to old gear: instead of requiring lots of different materials, you only need two different types of material. Additionally, the gear can be damaged similarly to the current PvP sets, but it can never be destroyed. Damaged items remain fully functional, they just can’t be enchanted. However, once you have repaired the gear, you’ll be able to continue with the enchantment.

+ Additional information from the development team +

The new equipment sets are intended as alternatives to existing gear, not as direct replacements. These items are not necessarily stronger than current sets, but they should offer you more variety with new stats and reduced complexity (details of the new stats can be found in the patch notes).

If you already own Heroic Oath gear, for example, only the best of the new gear will be clearly stronger.

Also worth knowing: the developers are currently working on new mythical gear that you can combine from Heroic Oath gear and the new gear from patch 86.

Berak Fortress Secret Zone

A new dungeon for characters over level 69 awaits you on Exodor with the Berak Fortress Secret Zone. Entry costs 385 adventure coins and it is designed for equipment level 458.

A series of quests will lead you to the entrance to the instance. However, you will only receive the quest to enter the dungeon once you’ve completed the story quest. The two new boss monsters Akalath Traban and Akalath Kasir lie in wait for you inside.

More Reputation Factions and Fishponds

During your adventures in Exodor, you’ll come into contact with two new factions for whom you’ll be able to collect reputation in daily quests.

You’ll be able to exchange this reputation with the Riveran and Justicar Reputation Merchants for the new enchanting materials, energy to fly on the island, new fish bait, and more!

Some of the islands are home to fishponds where you can go fishing. Only new bait can be used at these ponds. The fish caught on Exodor can be used to make powerful, new buff foods.

Trading Cards

Starting with patch 86, you’ll be able to obtain trading cards as a reward from various opponents, quests, and other content. Add them to your album and you’ll be able to complete the entries over time. A complete entry boosts your stats, when equipped.

The more cards you collect, the more complete entries you can equip to benefit from their stats.

There are five different card types: NPCs, monsters, zones, crafting materials, and fish. To start with, you can only equip one card of each type. Additionally, certain card combinations give you set bonuses.

Quote from TERA event news

Lein’s freshly brewed Dark Root Beer is a favorite throughout Arborea. It’s an indulgence especially during the Dark Root Beer Festival! But some frogs and brass stewards have clearly had one too many – and instead of celebrating merrily, they’re marauding and bothering the other festival-goers with their frog drums.

This is where you heroes come in: stop the troublemakers that are running amok throughout Arborea! You might even get some treasures for your help, as Lein isn’t especially fond of customers not paying their checks. Thanks to their excessive consumption of Dark Root Beer, the monsters fall down after just one strike, dropping your rewards at the same time. Of course, you might get Lein’s Dark Root Beer, but there’s also Watermelon Juice, Skill Advancement Scrolls and Tomes, as well as extravagant accessories and much more to be looted.

• Start: 20th September 2019 at 9:00 AM

In which area/channel can I find the enemies?

The enemies are summoned throughout Arborea. If one is killed, it will reappear at a different location.

I’ve found a target. What now?

It’s time for knuckle supper! It doesn’t matter whether you’re level 11 or 65. A single blow is enough to defeat the enemies automatically.

Will there be rewards?

For each defeated enemy, you’ll receive one of a variety of different items. Possible rewards include Lein’s Dark Root Beer, Skill Advancement Scrolls I to III, Skill Advancement XP Tomes III and IV, and much more!

Additionally, you can also loot Promises of the Damned, which can be exchanged among other things for the following rewards:

New rules came into effect in the EU and EFTA countries (Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein) on 14th September 2019 governing online payments and online banking which affect banking-based payment methods (e.g. credit cards, SOFORT, Giropay, online transfers etc.).

The new rules, laid down by the EU’s so-called Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2), aim to make payments and online banking more secure and protect consumers against fraud.

As part of the change, Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) is required during the payment process and online banking.

What this means for you, depending on the method of payment you use, can be read about in the following FAQ.

Quote from TERA news

Are you ready for the challenge? At the end of August you’ll be able to discover patch 85 once the planned server merge is complete. There’s new content such as the Arkarp Vault and various functional improvements in store for you. Please note that some names in this preview at not final and may differ in the final version.

The Arkarp Vault

Following the launch of patch 85, defeating various monsters and BAMs in the open world (level 65+) will give you the chance of finding a caiman traveler.

Defeat it and you’ll receive a huge amount of skill advancement XP – and with a bit of luck, a Door of Dimension to the Arkarp Vault will appear. You can enter the vault either alone or with your group. Note that a Door of Dimension can only be entered once. Additionally, the door disappears after 5 minutes, so be quick!

Once you enter the vault, you’ll have to overcome several waves of enemies. The more enemies you defeat in the dungeon, the better! And keep an eye open for rare golden enemies: they’ll drop extra loot!

´

You can expect rewards such as a large amount of experience points, skill advancement XP, halidoms, relics, and other valuable loot!

Spying Around

Following Naslow’s treasure maps in patch 82, spy reports are being added to the open world in patch 85 as additional game content. The process is similar to the treasure maps: you need to collect a left half and a right half, and piece them together into one spy report [???].

Once you have the spy report for an area, instead of searching for a treasure chest, you’ll have to find an Arkarp Scout Troop wagon. The wagon will be traveling along a certain route, as explained in the spy report.

Find the wagon and use the report to summon a spy. But watch out: if you summon the spy when the wagon isn’t nearby, the report will be consumed and you won’t receive a reward!

If you successfully summon the spy, you’ll have to kill as many of the enemies that appear as possible, while they try to escape through teleportals. Each opponent will give you experience points as a reward.

Secret Traveling Traders

New merchants are roaming Arborea! You’ll find secret traders in the four capitals. In addition, traveling traders appear at random locations around the world.

They all sell valuable or rare items, but only have a limited number of them in stock – sometimes per person, and sometimes even per server! And the range of available items isn’t always the same, so it’s well worth coming back regularly.

To purchase goods from these merchants you’ll need Goblin Smugglers’ League coins, which can be obtained as rewards from the Ghillieglade, Corsairs' Stronghold, Shore Hold and in all 435 ilvl dungeons and higher.

Demon’s Wheel

Once again, Bandersnatch and Demoros invite you into their crazy world! The dungeon surrounding the Demon’s Wheel is opening its doors again in patch 85.

There will also be an event for the instance, where you can get Demoros’ Miracle Keys each day to open various boxes.

These reward chests contain a number of different items. The highlights include an Amplifier II, a Skill Advancement XP Tome, and a Coupon: Material for Ethereal Jewelry. You’ll receive the details in a separate event announcement.

Event Dungeons: Keeping It Extreme!

Alongside all this new TERA content, Gameforge is once again bringing a special range of Extreme dungeons for Europe!

Rift’s Edge (Normal & Hard)

Go monster hunting in the normal version for 10-player raids, or take on the extreme difficulty for groups of 5 players!

Kelsaik’s Raid

Venture into the special raid version, where you can choose from one of 3 difficulties – the braver your choice, the better the loot you can bag!

Dreadspire

The Dreadspire Uppers return. In this ultimate challenge, Montori’s “toys” show no mercy!

Your task here is to fight your way through 4 rooms filled with randomly selected bosses:

• Room 1: Argon Predator or Hrathgol
• Room 2: Akasha or Thulsa
• Room 3: Meldita or Kaprima
• Room 4: Shandra Manaya or Saravash and Suryati

But don’t be afraid: after all, powerful enemies mean powerful rewards!

Thank you for pointing it out!

Quote from TERA news

The day of the server merge is fast approaching: August 22nd 2019 is the big day! Everything you need to know about the merge and the answers to potential questions can be found in this FAQ.

---

1. General information

When is the server merge taking place?

The server merge is planned for 22nd August 2019. The exact time schedule will be shown shortly beforehand here on the website.

Which servers are being merged?

As part of the server merge, the following changes will be applied:

• 1 PvE server (EN): MYSTEL will be merged into a new PVE server MYSTEL
• 1 international PvP server (EN): KILLIAN will be merged into a new PVE server MYSTEL
• 1 PvE server (FR): SEREN will remain
• 1 PvE server (DE): YURIAN will remain

2. Preparations for the merge

How should I prepare for the server merge?

For a smooth transition, we recommend that you bear the following in mind:

• Limit of 22 characters: There will be a limit of 22 characters per server on the merged servers. This means that you might have to choose your favorites and delete all remaining characters. We recommend that you plan ahead and transfer any gold or items that you want to keep to other characters (see: 3. My account).
• Possible name changes required: As part of the server merge, you might be required to give your character a new name (see: 5. Character names).
• Guilds and guild banks: As already mentioned, some players might have to delete some characters. In turn, this might lead to only one player remaining in a guild. This would mean this guild no longer has enough members, resulting in any items in the guild bank being lost. You should therefore check the status of your guild and guild bank before deleting characters ahead of the server merge (see: 6. Guilds).
• Items listed in the brokerage: All of your items will be transferred to the new server. However, as demand and prices there might be different, it may be a good idea to withdraw your items from the auction for now and list them for sale following the merge (see: 4. Items/Inventory/Bank/Brokerage).

3. My account

Do I have to delete characters for the merge?

As already mentioned, the maximum limit of 22 characters per server might mean that you have to delete surplus characters.

If you have more characters than character slots following the merge, you won’t be able to join the game until all surplus characters have been deleted.

We strongly recommend that you check all characters that you might want to delete and remove all items you want to keep from their inventories and banks.

How many character slots will I have following the merge and how many characters do I have to delete?

• If you do not have veteran status or any additional slots: If you had 2 characters on Killian and 2 on Mystel before the merge, you will have a total of 2 character slots on Mystel after the merge. All 4 characters will appear on Mystel, but you will have to delete 2 of them before you are able to play.
• If additional character slots are available or you have veteran status: The number of character slots you have on the merged server will depend on the server where you had the most character slots prior to the merge (from all the servers that are being merged). For example: If you have 10 slots on Killian and 9 on Mystel, you will have 10 slots available to you on Mystel.

To be able to join the server, all surplus characters will need to be deleted.

Is there a time limit for deleting surplus characters?

Following the merge, you will have to place surplus characters in the deletion queue so you can log in to the server. A time limit of 30 days will start upon your first login after the merge. After 30 days, all characters in the deletion queue will be automatically removed from your account. You should therefore complete the steps listed above in advance.

My account is currently inactive. Will I lose my characters?

No, don’t worry. The 30-day limit won’t start until your first login after the merge. Once you have reactivated your account, you will have 30 days to carry out the steps listed above before you lose any characters.

What happens to character slots that I bought for characters that will be deleted?

If you have bought character slots in the last month for characters that you will delete, you can contact our Customer Support team for a refund. Free slots, for example those distributed for new classes, and slots purchased before 22/07/2019 cannot be refunded.

How can I contact Customer Support to get a refund for deleted slots?

Contact our Customer Support team at: http://support.tera-europe.com/

Select the “Server merge” category

The ticket must contain the following information:

• Current character name
• The server you play on
• Original server
• Number of deleted character slots purchased after and before the day of the server merge.

4. Items/Inventory/Bank/Brokerage

Will items in my inventory be transferred to the new server?

Yes, all items and your full gold balance will be transferred with your character.

What about items in the bank – will they be lost?

All items stored in the bank will be consolidated on the new server. If there is not enough space available for them, additional slots will be temporarily added. These will only allow you to withdraw items from the old server, and you won’t be able to use these later for new items. However, this is not subject to a time limit, so you can take your time withdrawing the items. Any Bank Expansions will be retained.

What happens to items in the bank which are bound to a deleted character?

Items which are bound to a character which is deleted before the merge remain bound to this character. That means you will not be able to use them with another character (just as before the merge). Unfortunately, such items will produce an error message which displays the character name to whom the items are bound incorrectly.

What about the Wardrobe?

All Wardrobe Expansions and all items stored in the Wardrobe will be retained. If there is not enough space available for them, additional slots will be temporarily added. These will only allow you to withdraw items from the old server, and you won’t be able to use these later for new items. Please note that you can have a maximum of 4 temporary tabs in the Wardrobe. Surplus items will be deleted. It is therefore recommended to check in advance whether or not the number of items in the Wardrobe will exceed this limit.

What happens to items listed in the brokerage?

All your items listed in the brokerage will be transferred to the new server. However, as demand and prices there might be different, it might be a good idea to withdraw your items from the auction for now and list them for sale on the new server following the merge.

What about inventory pets?

Items and gold in the pockets of your inventory pets will be transferred to the new server along with your character.

Do I have to collect my post or other items in the messaging system?

Your post and other items will also be transferred to the new server. However, there is the possibility of messages and attached items disappearing if the sender has deleted their character. We therefore recommend that you collect all items from your mailbox before the merge.

What will happen to items in my Item Claim?

All items in your Item Claim, both those bound to characters and your account, will be transferred and kept with the merge.

Will saved gear sets be retained in my character profile?

No, saved gear sets will not be transferred.

5. Character names

What about my character names? What happens if there’s another character with the same name on the new server after the merge?

It may be necessary to change your character name following the server merge if the name is being used by other characters. In this case, one character will keep the name, while all others will be automatically renamed. You will be able to choose a new name for the affected character before joining the server using the in-game function.

How exactly will it be decided whether I have to rename my character following the merge?

The main factor is the activity over the past month. This means that the following happens when several characters have the same name. If the character name is “Gameforge”, for example:

• The character active over the last 30 days will keep the name “Gameforge”.
• Other characters will have a string of random numbers added to the end of their names, e.g. “Gameforge_14326”.
• These characters can be renamed at login in the character selection menu.
• If both were active the last 30d the overall playtime decides which one gets to keep the name

What happens to the Friends List? Will I still appear on the Friends Lists of my friends if I have to change my name?

Yes, you will remain on the list. If it is necessary to change your name, your old name will automatically be replaced by your new name on the Friends List.

What happens to BuddyUp Codes?

BuddyUp Codes will be reset following the server merge. However, new codes can be generated.

Friends that have already been accepted will still be visible in the list and will also receive their rewards.

6. Guilds

How does the merge affect guilds?

Guild members, guild banks, and everything else will be transferred as part of the merge. However, as already mentioned, some players might have to delete a few characters. In turn, this might lead to only one player remaining in a guild, meaning the guild no longer has sufficient members. This would result in any items in the guild bank being lost. You should therefore check the status of your guild and guild bank before deleting characters for the server merge.

What happens to guild names?

If any name conflicts occur as a result of the merge, the older guild will retain its name. The newer guild will therefore have to be renamed. All guild masters of the affected guild can log into the game and use the in-game function to rename the guild.

What happens to the GvG battle status?

The GvG status log will not be transferred.

What will happen to guild war in Velika?

The special highlights around your guild logo (gold, silver and bronze wreaths) will not be transferred, nor will existing towers.

7. Additional information

Will I lose my reputation/vanguard points after the merge?

No, you will not lose any reputation or other credits.

Will I have to change my UI settings for each character (skill hotkeys, window options, etc.)?

Your settings for skill hotkeys, chained skills, shortcut key skills, etc. are all bound to your character and do not have to be set up again. However, UI settings, e.g. the position of the skill bar, chat window, or the compass, might need to be set again.

Will my talents be maintained?

The talents will be taken from the server where you have the most progress (Total Advancement Points).

Will special achievements be retained?

Yes, all achievements and titles will be kept.

What happens to the PvP rankings?

The current state of the rankings will not be transferred.

Note : The current Battleground season (season 2) will end on Wednesday 21st of August (PvE & PvP - Killian & Mystel). Winners will be determined within a few days of the end of a season and will receive their reward by parcel post in game. A new season will start after the merge.
