There are different opinions on this matter. It all depends on which modules u are using. You need to discuss specific modules, not an abstract "toolbox"

Let's say that the emulator cant be called cheating, cause in fact its just a more rational work of skills than what the Koreans did. Emulation allows ppls with high ping to play comfortably - idk any other way. Let the Koreans first introduce this feature into the game and rewrite their code before banning ppl.

As for the guide - this module only hurts if you want to learn how to play.

The problem with the guide is that there are some mechanics on some bosses, which are much easier to perform with it, and this certainly gives an advantage. In general, the guide can give an advantage to strong players who know what they are doing.

I consider this module to be one of the most harmful for the game, especially for beginners. But on the other hand, its good cause it can help beginners understand how mechanics work, for example, Baha'ar waves. It's faster and easier than learning mode. Another thing is that playing so constantly is dishonorable in relation to other players.

As for scripts, this is by far the most harmful thing in the game. Essentially, the majority of moon top in all classes play with scripts. And in order to compete with them you have to be both - a good player and use scripts; or u have to be a super strong player to compete with a scripter. And the longer a boss's kill time, the more effective scripts will appear, and the more an honest player will fall behind.

I do see toolbox has some sort of cheating element in it although it is not as obvious as it used to be. this thought mainly originated back then when shen server was migrated from enmasse to gameforge. a lot of pvp player at that time face player who use scripts to cheat and win in pvp . many pvp player make report about cheating players to gameforge, but game forge employee did not take action. this resulted in the shen server pvp community base are dead.

as for me, i did encounter a script long time ago which the script actually eat the healer mp points. this is more popular use by tanker class as tanker are taking a direct hit from the boss. there are even at one time, where a tanker ate my mp point during a dungeon run which resulted in the entire party are being wipe out (simply because i am completely out of mp ). considering i didn't remembering hearing any complain from msytic class about mp being eaten, i am assuming this script only target priest class mp point. i do not know if such script are still circulating among players or not but considering how bad things tend to stay longer in this earth. someone might still have such script.

As for player who wanted to have their character name as one of the best damager class in their respective server. was it really worth risking everything? after all , for most of us, our computer do not only have tera game itself but also our personal information such as our banking info, our private and sensitive chats with our family and friends. for some of us, it might even contain our job work information that might be sensitive to our company. as far as i am concern, if the toolbox developers can't be sue legally for their misdeed. it is risky to use their software. even if the toolbox developer do it out of the intention to benefits others. some people might get the wrong idea and use it for bad purpose. if the toolbox developers can't be held accountable for their responsibilities, it is risky for me. if i am not wrong, gameforge won't take any responsibility for any damage for using toolbox as toolbox is not one of their official product.

thanks alot for the info.

Quote from Merik

the titans XXX drop in Petrax (0 - 1 pc each) and are pretty cheap at the trade broker, as older players have lots and lots of them

and I also recommend not to craft etchings for weapon/armor, as those etchings drop in dungeons 498-501.

according to the loottable accessoire-etchings dont drop anywhere. so best concentrate on those.

ok. i been trying to master etching and just found out the wooden crate, silver crate and golden crate doesn't give titan for etching anymore. so do anyone know where to source for the remaining titan fire, titan peace, titan earth and titan storm?

thank you in advance for those who reply.

Personally, i don;t use it. been resisting using the toolbox since from the start. but it can be very challenging when almost every party you got in dungeon run, there will be someone who from time to time who might pressuring you to do it.

i personally believe a person will lose something far more valuable for cheating. although toolbox player think the toolbox are helping them.

the other reason is that it might pose security issue reason. although i mainly don't use 3rd party software because of a job i had been doing in my past. (so it is ethic reason for me)

i would personally like some easy dungeon to play with (where i can play in a relax mode). but all the feedback i got so far is the present higher dungeon require high dps player. and if one unable to do it, there will be wipe out mechanics activated.

so i guess "fun" in tera can be an issue now. as i keep on getting the impression the developer intend to push all dps players to be high dps player.

i did sense a bit fun in the citadel albeit it is just a few second funs. it pretty much depend on who is in your party .

as far as i know discord has some classes guide on how to do the rotation (for high damage). and youtube has guide on dungeon. Dungeon you can access depend on your gear level ++.

so the most basic dungeon for now would be gossemer vault, ruinous manor and verak fortress.

Just notice recently, that each server i go through, i can only make 2 characters per server. so i am making suggestion that each account, player can make 3 free characters instead of 2. as i think this is better for the server population as well as for all the classes and also for the high end dungeon run.

Quote from mitoi

that ep is not good, if your kaia shield is lasting 12 seconds you’re using it wrong. kaia should be used to tank damage don’t worry about the duration. once the damage is tanked your kaia shield will be gone regardless if it’s 10 or 30 seconds.

thank you warlord and mitoi for answering.

ok. another noob question coming from me.

There is a ep skill where the it will be activated if the kaia shield duration is more than 12 seconds. Anyone knows how to get the kaia shield duration more than 12 seconds?

i was looking if it was possible to make it like Room Slot. Where the first 3 room are free for players. then they can sell additional Room Slot under Tera shop. Probably there are some sort of elevator to go from room to room. then the developer can decide whether they gonna add more room per character or not. and player get to decide their house is a hermit house or eventually build a castle (i mean ...many rooms). something like that.

costing wise.. i don't know how the developer will decide.

most probably it wasn't in the game because of copyright issue. i did heard something about some other game has created the housing system and make some sort of copyright for it. therefore other game developer can't do the same thing. not sure if this is true or not.

i would like to decorate my house with some flowers in it. a sofa , maybe a bedroom and oohhh..toilet as well. kitchen, living room , dining room , study room and a wardrobe. ohh and a garden look nice too. XD

ohhh..and also room for partner and pets as well. and can invite friends, party member into the house ......

1. What do you mean it's "not in the drop list"?

Ok 20 is not that much but it's something already.

2. What NotBusch said (not to mention we just finished a x2 vanguard loot which happens fairly often)

Once you get your 1.5, it stacks quite fast:

1. it was a feedback i receive from other player. will be more careful about that in future.

Hi,

Just a suggestion for the following two:

1. Adding Elleon's Mark of Valor drop for Killing Ground Dungeon. apparently players rarely play this dungeon because the item is not in the drop list.

2. Increase Dragonwing Scale droprate per dungeon run . personally i think the 1 dragonwing scale per dungeon run are too little.

thanks for reading .

thank you for the guide given. will take it as a reference. i am also adding my own point of experience as priest since i am just quite new as priest in tera (a couple of month of dungeon exp in rm, gv and aq only) , i decided to add my own point of view as well.

i currently play suicide priest style (due to the three lower dungeon has pay ress to spam). so i usually tank the damage (meaning less iframe and get hit by boss ) which i do cover by self heal skill. meaning that i place other member survival above mine.

so i am also adding the initial burst rotation skill for other priest for reference. it was teach by other healer.

Initial burst

• a term call by players that mean the beginning of dungeon run with buff that increase damage attack to highest level for team member . For priest the rotation skill are
• Triple nemesis > energy star > edict of judgement
• while under edict of judgement, pump divine charge 4 times then release it.
• Priest can dish some attack after that.

*do note that this initial burst rotation skill can be interrupted halfway. so make changes according to situation.

also i understand that because most party want high damage party. so the team party are usually 1 tanker, 1 healer and 3 dps. for those who prefer high hp coverage and also for teaching new healer, i personally found that 1 tanker, 2 dps , 1 mystic and 1 priest are optimun setting.

Quote from RightClick

I use edict then I spam holy burst, shockin implosion, metamorphic blast, final reprisal and zenobia vortex all the time (these skills have shorter cd on edict so you can spam them all the time) plus you can use restorative burst and divine charge (you can cancel divine charge by back step and then use it again if you see people are low on hp). I was before afraid of healing on edict but tbh it gives a huge amount of healing. So just try first in Gv or similar instace so you can see how does it work. Gl!

And you should always use edict during enrage, because it gives power and crit factor to all people in group so you kill boss much quicker

thanks a lot for the information. appreciate it alot.

Quote from fayerkraker

Use Edict and then immediately use it again to cancel it for yourself while the party keeps the buff.

or

Use Edict and then proceed healing the party with shocking implosion (read Edict for more info), holy burst and restorative burst, and using Zenobia vortex to reduce the cooldown of Edict.

thanks a lot for the info.

this is another noob question coming from me.

So far, i manage to do most of my dungeon of RM, GV and AQ without using any edict of judgement. and to be honest i had never like even single bit of using it in dungeon due to the fact it handicap other healing skills while edict of judgement is active. i was being told that priest do use edict of judgement in dungeon. so this question are directed to priest who are expert in catalepticon dungeon and also always use edict of judgement in dungeon especially catalepticon. how do you exactly manage to pop in the edict of judgement and didn't end up getting your team member dead while that skill are still active?

Quote from Nayru

Even though as pointed out before archers are not meant to be tanks and playstyle customization is usually bashed on by the currently played metas, I'm very interested to see how far you could push this build.

Your main worry though is holding aggro. I can easily see how this kind of build may lead into getting kicked from the dungeon with the current Tera community.

In addition to the lack of block Noctilucent mentioned, you don't have any skill to enrage or take the aggro from the boss, the only way of doing this as an archer is either through damage or through the rest of your party being dead. Considering you build neglecting damage, it's the second case scenario.

Let's say you're playing to be able to res the healer. You meet the following trouble, you can only use your resurrection scroll once. So it's not really as useful to play the entire dungeon for this one time trick, that you could still perform without this build using a small amount of skill. Unless you take mystic vow into account, but unexperienced healers are unlikely to benefit from it. Alternatively if it's an experienced healer it should not die in those instances.

You may talk about cdr and speed in another context as Buschfunker mentioned above, but picture it in a tanking situation and it may get grim. For the sake of tanking, playing around your evasion wisely with increased speed and defense may seem appealing, but on low damage, you get to HellMilitia's point how long is it going to take for you to clear the boss just by yourself if no one else can be ressed or help?

Sure the run will not be lost, but knowing many players are impatient they are likely to attempt to kick you, disband it or drop it. Saving the day is possible, as mentioned above some archers do this by kiting, it is tempting to carry on your own but if people don't see it this way it may be tragic instead.

At that point I'd even take the opposite chaos approach, play the dungeon without a tank on the highest damage possible and may the healer and the potions be with you. Having dungeons' current difficulty based on inflated HP counts instead of mechanics doesn't exactly help your cause.

Thank you Nayru for the information provided. will take account into it when building the archer build.

not sure what do you mean by low tier map. the only thing i know about obsidian is that you can find the answer from the achievement menu which is "Val tirkai, Helkan District and Val kaeli". usually those listed in the menu there has the most of specific material. i am not sure if my answer helps you at all, good luck.

Quote from Noctilucent

This kind of variable playstyle doesn't work in PVE Tera. Even if you swipe and get the most tanky gear available in the game for archer, you will still die in 1 or 2 hits to direct boss hits. The reason why tanks can tank is not their gear but a block skill. You don't have one on archer. I can guarantee you wont have fun playing like that.

As a DD you have the role with the least responsibility but also with the least amount of carry potential, especially in lower dungeons. If you want to Instance Match and have more impact on your party, play healer or tank. Either way you'll still need help from your team members. Tera is not a single player game :shrug:

If you are looking for an optimal setup for archer where you can be the most usefull to your teammates you can check out archer class discord, it should contain all the information you need: https://discord.gg/z5fnx2c

thank you for the feedback. the reason why i am looking for the possibility of being a tank is because the server i am in has less player and thus some think that getting tanker in party are even more rarer than healer. will keep in mind what you said.
