Tera: Online Random Question Thread

[madpersian]

People demanding that game companies not fix problems with a game because they had to do things the hard way is pretty stupid in general. If a change improves the game and makes it more likely to thrive, they should do it.

Missing designs/templates = problem.
Time Consuming grind to achieve something ≠ problem.

Depends who you ask. Also the totally absurd curve can easily be a problem. I don't mind it getting difficult, but I think it's very silly that its more difficult before you get to the final bit of it. It makes for very weird grinding. Doing old content with terrible drop rates. I'd much rather have the final ingredients you need be the hard ones so it gives even more reason to do the level 58-60 content.

If they announced tomorrow that the craft quests were going back in, I still wouldn't expect it for at least 2 months. It would be a Bluehole deal, and I'm sure they have their hands full in order to meet the projected August Queen/BG/finished game patch.

Arnt the quests active in live Korean version right now? Or were they taken out of both versions for some crazy reason?

@Avarice
I don't mind a little grinding but I do mind when I have to grind shit that has a super lowered drop rate due to my being level 60. If they dropped like any normal drop rate to me then I wouldn't give a shit, but they barely drop, and you need hundreds upon hundreds. It's just a very stupid grind and there's no reason that the hardest part of the grind should be in the middle and not at the end.


Also what's the deal with golds from GL/AH? They cant be traded or stored in the bank? Wtf is that shit

[Nariiko]

There's two versions of Enigmatic from GL/AH. One like you said can't be traded or stored in the bank and is bind on pick up while the other can be traded, stored, sold, etc. They both have upgrades (+3/6/9's) to them but the ones that can be sold via the broker/traded are slightly higher base stats on their respective piece.

[Senji]

3 versions. HQ and NQ tradable and a BOP. BOP being slightly weaker than the NQ.

There's a lot of dead games out there that wish that what you said were true.

[Kipling]

Anyone know where the Tiara and Horned Helmet hats are from?

So my brother and I are gonna try out the trial and possibly sub. We like to duo it up to cap, maybe do an odd instance, but we're psyched about hunting BAMs together and what not. He is pretty much dead set on slayer since he likes 2h swords. I'm torn between warrior and berserker, but I still want to try lancer and mystic. What would be a good class to team up with slayer? Preferably a damage class, but if a mage is that much better I'd consider it. Thanks!

[Tisi]

Out of the choices, I'd say warrior. Warrior and Slayer can be a pretty lethal combination, and if you have the will (and skill), warrior can be both a valuable dps and a tank. Just make sure you both carry bandages/potions with you if you don't plan on bringing a pocket healer around or looking for people to team up with~

[Leashedragon]

Warrior + Slayer would be a decent combo for leveling up. Both are built to avoid damage. Warrior can solo BAMs if done right, so it shouldn't be too hard to duo them with your friend while leveling.


Question:
I read somewhere on the Official Forums(yes, I know.. which is why I doubt it but..) that the higher level BAMs can drop, rarely, armor that is eligible for template for the sets we're missing templates. I've not done much BAM hunting, but I know we killed Nyraxxas and got a gold sword that looked like a Dayslayer, but altered colors. We've also got another Dayslayer model with different colors from Snaggletooth? I think, as well as a Lance that resembled Eye Opener just different colors. All of which was eligible for template. It does -sound- plausible, but we only ever got weapons or nothing at all when we killed Snaggletooth, Linyphi, Nyraxxas, and Huzrat. Has anyone seen any armor off these guys at all?

Actually ALL monsters that are marked with the "World Boss" icon can rarely drop template armors and weapons. This is a huge rarity. We killed a level 60 World Boss in Westonia while leveling through and picked up a Level 50 Gold Lance Template. Lower level world bosses can drop Blue and green armors that are templates as well. There are a group of Ovolith's that spawn near SM that have template armor. Deathglare in Basilisk Crag drops Blue template armor. The kicker is that these armor templates are usually readily availble through some other means, crafting or vendor.

Still the level 58 gold gear out of LoT and ET still have no templates available in game. If you thought you may randomly kill a world boss and find a gold template of one of those weapons or armors you will be greatly disappointed.

Are there any, lets say apps for Tera that help with controlling 2 chars? I come from FFXI where I used to dual box a lot of content and I miss it on Tera. I could easily control 3 chars on 3 different PCs on FFXI but this isn't really possible on Tera.

I don't mean bots that take over 100% control, maybe aids like windower programs offered is the best word.

[Coren]

Considering you have to target and move actively during battle even on healing jobs, I'm not sure how dualboxing would be possible without some serious automation.

[Keshad]

Whats the process for changing stats on weapons, I know it involves the different types of scrolls, but not sure how to go about it all xD

[Nariiko]

I've seen Priest bots in KTera so I know they exist (run to nearest monster, divine radiance, and heal themselves when low) It's kinda funny since you can tag a monster and it will still go for the kill and target the nearest one in range. I have no knowledge to whom or where to find them I'd assume at the moment its in some other language other than english but I'm sure that could be just a google away-- (it looked to be 100% bot control but I'm unsure)

Although it would be extremely tedious, theres a program called 'Sandboxie' that should be able to at least let you run 2 game clients on 1 computer, and can alt+tab to switch screens. Playing both characters effective manually though is another story...

I'm pretty sure it only works on enchantable gear, but once you have one that you want to change, you just need a common enigmatic scroll and a common identification scroll to "reroll" the stats. The only stats that change are the ones with green circles next to them.

Except I get the feeling that even if they announced it today and said the crafting quests were coming 6mon from now I'm certain people who grinded through it would still bitch and complain.

It also doesn't matter.... the crafting grind in this game is totally broken for the other reasons listed above and needs to be fixed immediatly.

[Avarice]

We can all agree to disagree, whatever, the thing is though, chances of any crafting changes coming soon aren't high, so buckle in.

I like this, it makes having a craft leveled worth something.
