Tera: Online Random Question Thread

[AidenCarby]

Was thinking about checking this out again...forgot my password and the answer to my question lol. I tried contacting but they say they have no more phone service for tera and I have to be logged in for live support. Am I basically fucked or?

[Pyree]

I believe you could make another account to contact support on. Not sure what kind of protocol they have for things like that. But their support is really bogged down right now, so don't expect it to be fast... -.-

What are the regular mobs in dungeons considered (for purposes of crystals)? I doubt they're considered "boss", and I don't think they're quite "normal" either, so are they kind of neither? I'm trying to see if I should have a set of crystals for regular dungeon mobs, because it's too much trouble to always position for the "attack from behind" set that's used for bosses.

EDIT: Did some googling and supposedly they're considered normal. Can anyone verify?

EDIT2: While I'm at it, how much mana regen do Glistening crystals give when proc'd?

Normal mob, even most of the gatekeeper type bams like in FoK. CoF bams are all boss though.

Pristine glistening cruxes were 500 mp over the duration of 5 or 8 seconds I believe. Not necessary with greater infused though.

Best way to tell what kind of crystals to use for mobs is to look at their icon on the radar. Big icon is BAM/Boss, medium icon is Normal and small icon is Minion.

[Anakron]

Excellent, thanks for the responses! I never thought of just using the radar, that makes perfect sense. :D

I had a group tell me the 2nd to last (fire room douche) mob was boss type, even though my normal mob crystals obviously worked... pretty lulzy x.x

I left the game with decent tier 12 gear. Where should I be aiming towards in terms of short term and long term gear for my lancer? What are going to be my best glyph setups? Is there a good place to read up on different guides for other jobs too?

When do dungeons start to get actually hard, challenging, or have actual mechanics? I'm level 50 and so far only Sigil has had mechanics, but it was as easy to do as BOL/SM and not challenging at all, especially if you have a tank and a healer. I'm very disappointed with this games PVE content.

I feel like this game is basically WOW with prettier graphics, there's not much action combat involved at all vs bosses unless you're a healer/tank, and the only fun I actually have is duoing BAM's in the outside world, once a healer and tank is involved the entire game becomes "Babies first MMO".

Are any of the later dungeons challenging? Do they challenge DPS, do they have actual mechanics?

[shidobu]

the lvl 60s dungeons are the only ones with real mechanics BT HM was my nightmare back in the day but it just felt like it was more random deaths than actual fuck ups.

Everything in this game is memorization and reaction time for dps. A few dps races here and there. Its about as challenging as the people you play with and CD timers.

I was trying to get a few of my black ops 2 teammates into the game, but they were on a different server. I don't think they are going to stick around so I'm going to take my priest to 40 and swap it over to MT to join my other characters. (it's at 32 now)

PVE wise: There are the new rep merchants in allemanthea/cutthroat that sell juiced up non enig weapons/chests that are as strong as Abyss t14 +9 from the gate. Its kinda hard to recommend MWing abyss/agnitor at this point when the Queen options are on the table.

PVP wise: PVP gear is BOE now, so the first 2 tiers are just a function of gold.

A lot of people leveling did have trouble with SA and Suryati's Peak it seemed.

You can actually transfer now. The level minimum is 20; it still says 40, but it's not. When they lowered it to 20 and increased the gold cap to 50k to encourage people to move to VoT, they actually lowered it all around. The only restrictions still in place is that you can't transfer to or from Lake of Tears and Ascension Valley.

Just finished transferring my priest over to MT. I should be around a lot more now.

If I get a race change voucher or appearance change voucher... when I use it, if I don't confirm my final settings and cancel it, do I lose the voucher?

[Avarice]

It's not gone until you finalize the settings and confirm it.

[Kenshiin]

Where do you get the race/appearance change vouchers?

[Pyree]

They're sold in the cash shop. Can also buy them off the broker or in trade from other people that buy them from the cash shop.

Perhaps its because my group is only 4 people or maybe we had an off night, but the Ascent of Saravash really gave us a tough time.
