Tera: Online Random Question Thread

I've gotten 100% for rested XP.

Edit: Have it on my Zerker right now. Haven't touched her in days, really.

Double Edit: 100% equals roughly a third of my XP bar at 45, so yeah, 100% does not translate (all the time) to 100%.

That 100% refers to your EXP bonus, not total, meaning you get double exp when you kill a mob.
The line under that xxx/yyy shows how much you accumulated and the maximum, which is roughly 50% of your lvl.

I have a little question: Is it better to overcharge on Archer like it is on Berserker, or is it best to use the ability as soon as it hits the last charge?

Shoot right as your last bar finishes right before you take your first tick of damage. There are some situations where overcharge is fine(soloing) but the time wasted in the overcharge isn't worth the extra damage.

same reason it is so important to interrupt radiant shots animation with final salvo.

[Trocian]

So overcharging(taking damage) further increases your damage?

[zaps]

yes, but in most cases the extra damage isn't worth the time spent charging.

also for those who don't know, final salvo interrupts any animation that's currently happening.

Get the glyphs for poison arrow and final salvo that increase the charge speed for radiant shot and penetrating.
do poison > radiant > final(canceling radiants animation completely) > penetrating.

for BAM's and bosses that's my current rotation. Also feel free to throw in a few things between rotations when needed. (velik's, rapid shots, ect)

Anyone help me with where to level at 52? cleared out dragonfall and done story, really clueless been looking around but everythings like level 58. Thanks

[Coren]

I'm curious about some of the effects on items.

I have a pair of boots that "decreases the effect of slowing effects by .7". Does this mean that that debuff duration is decreased by 70%, or just that the decrease in speed is decreased by 70%? If the former, does it include debuffs like stuns or roots (that cause me to not be able to move)?

There also are stats, like speed, that can be buffed both by number (crystal gives 24 movement speed out of combat) and by percentage (boots give 10% or 3% or whatever speed). How do these compare? Do they stack? If I have 100 movement speed (hypothetical) and I put a 24 speed crystal on it, then I put on boots with 10%. How fast am I going? 100+10+24, or 100+24+12?

We need a useful wiki asap!

The entire elenea/val aureum area is 54 to 56. I started there at 53 (which means I'll run out of quests by 56 probably). Did you do all the shit in castanica? It's all high 40's, but can be a good way to "catch up" on xp if you run out of shit to do your own level.

[bobbydaz]

Awsome thanks for letting me know, gonna fly out there, but yeah I cleared out Castanica in a few hours

How does endurance work with defense when it comes to damage taken/mitigation, if at all? How are physical damage and magic damage different when it comes to endurance and defense?

[Trocian]

Endurance is awesome, defense is shitty and does very little on its own. There's no real difference between magic and physical damage, defense/endurance will reduce them both equally.

Not sure about the debuff reduction stat but as far as speed goes you can see what your movement speed is in your character window under "Stats". For instance Warrior Elin has a base movement speed of 120 and base Attack Speed of 120. Percentages and flat boosts stack but percentages only take into account your base speed whether it be Attack or Movement.

Example: Boots with 10% movement speed and crystal with 24 Combat Speed = 120+12+24 or 156 movement speed in combat.

Same with Attack Speed on weapons and from alchemy scrolls. Weapons give % and scrolls give a flat number.

Someone on the En Masse forums did a test for different defense values against a mob that only used one attack.

Basically endurance modifies your defense by some formula and the attack value of whatever you're receiving is divided by your defense.

Rested EXP, what's the cap on that? (or how many days do I need to be off the game for to achieve cap)

So far I'm logging in every 23~ hours, I get a somewhat decent chunk of rested EXP. But I don't want it to reach cap so I've been logging on each day.

Looks like 1% gain per hour.

So what are peoples opinions on upgrading gear. Sometimes I notice the tooltip says that a weapon has +400-600 on my attack modifier compared to my enchanted weapon. But there are +dmg bonuses on enchanted weapon. What's a good measure to know when to upgrade.

Also does the compare tool take into account the enchanted + to attack modifier and impact or does it just go off the base?

[Faelindae]

It doesn't take into account enchanted +attack/impact/etc modifiers.

Where do I buy intricate enigmatic scrolls? I remember reading that they were sold from special merchants in KTera, but I've not seen any vendor selling them so far.

[Kipling]

Basic merchant. They're green, first page.

Higher chance of luxing an item when you use it seal item. Luxing/masterwork is when you are able to +12 it.

Those are intricate identification scrolls; aren't there intricate enigmatic scrolls too?
