Reddit reviews Tera Online - PC

Buy a physical copy of the game from Amazon for the Founder status. You get 8 character slots, 4 bank tabs, and a 280 speed mount on all servers for around 20 bucks. For 17 bucks on the cash shop you could get maybe one thirtieth of that value. It also has Prime shipping, so hooray.

Oh also if you want to make some early scratch, sell your daily BAM event tokens on the broker.

Amazon

> Is learning about crafting worth it? Or is it just as well for me to ignore that part of the game.

It is only useful at level cap to make gold and to craft BiS gear for PvE and PvP

> My skills seem to have glyphs or runes I can choose. I know there is a point cap, but some are permanently greyed out. Why? And how do I unlock them?

If they are greyed out it means you can't use them if you have used all your points. If they have like a Padlock icon thing on them.

It means you haven't unlocked them.

To unlock them you level up and during the levels 61-65 you can run the Dungeons Sabex Armory(Level 61), Marcellarius Catacombs(Level 64) for Khirian and Vanguard? Glyph boxes which has a chance to give you those locked glyphs and or get better versions of glyphs you already have.

> Is there any general pack I should buy other than possibly the $15 subscription. I heard some people say they got stuff from buying a boxed version (might have been character slots.) Is there something I can but that would give me slots cheaper than $5 per?

This is what they were talking about - http://www.amazon.com/Tera-Online-PC/dp/B002I0HJG8

It gives you Founders. Elite is the 15dollar subscription. More information on Nonthing/Founders/Elite can be found Here

> My level 27 is an archer. Do they suck? I've heard sorcerer is better for ranged damage and an all around better choice?

Play whatever you feel like if you like Archers stick with them, they have some big buffs coming their way.

> My level 12 is a lancer, but I've never tanked before in a game. How hard is it to be adequate as a tank in this game?

In this game Tanking isn't like other games.

You generate threat by using your skills and Auto attacks. There is a technique called block cancelling.

Where you use your Standfast Skill(How you block) to cancel skill animations.

Like you can Auto attack and use standfast to cancel the rest of your basic attack animation after the damage has applied so you can then attack with your other skills to generate threat at a much quicker rate meaning you can hold aggro.

If you have any more Lancer questions just ask and I can try and answer you as best as possible.

> Is there a lot to do at max level?

Yes, a lot!

> Are there any reddit guilds on the server Tempest Reach? Can you switch servers?

At the top of the Subreddit we link the Monthly Guild Recruitment Thread. Can be found here unfortunately most guilds that are really active are level 60 - 65.

Yes you can server Transfer, it can be found at:

https://account.enmasse.com/users/account

Then just click Server Transfer. Only thing is there are some restrictions on Transfers. Found Here

> It seems my archer has access to a bank, but I got a message saying I was putting something in a temporary bank when I dropped something in. Is it safe to leave stuff there?

I am not sure as to what the meaning behind temporary banker is unless it is the NPC Scroll: Phargo. Which is a mobile Banker which last 5minutes and has a 10minute cooldown use.

You can find banks in every City Located near the Key Icon on your town map which you can find by Pressing M or looking for it on your minimap which can be toggled with N.

Have a nice day!

Here you go.

But really I only truly trust Amazon

Neither of these are P2W.

/r/TeraOnline
Tera really only gives you costumes and convenience items in their cash shop, such as field repair kits. You can buy a Founder's Pack on Amazon and apply the code to your account, which gives you tons of permanent benefits, such as 8 character slots instead of 2, and a faster mount for all characters.

/r/BladeAndSoul
Cash shop is mostly costumes and convenience items. There is a premium option that's like a 30-day subscription that gives your characters special benefits for the duration, such as increased exp and gold find.

i'm not sure how much character slots go for on your server or if you're willing to drop IRL cash onto this game, but

hardcopy disc:

founders-> 8 permanent character slots across ALL servers
4 bank slots per server
permanent mount on all characters/servers
comes with some goodies(don't forget to input code/key in backwards)

Here you go

There's two seller listings there. Top list is the Featured Sellers. Skip that one. You'll find the better deals on the list below it.

20 bucks is a steal for a Collectors Edition - Amazon only has it listed at that price for the normal version.

I definitely got this deal. Thanks, /u/DragonBlade :)

http://www.amazon.com/Tera-Online-PC/dp/B002I0HJG8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417327607&sr=8-1&keywords=tera


If you live in US/Canada

Technically 0$. But to make things a bit easier at the start, the 20$ founders is recommended or the 100$ collectors edition if you feel the tangible items are worth it. Both give you lots of bank space, character slots, mounts, etc. Bank space, character slots and better mounts can be bought later with gold or C$. There's an optional 15$/mo sub or per month 1 time scrolls. The perks may not appeal to all.

I thought standard and founders was the same.

I bought the standard / founder / non-CE version of Tera and it came with 8 char slots, 4 bank tabs, an account wide argon looking blue horse and one tawny huntress for one character plus some minor consumables.

CE I believe comes with all that plus an account wide frost lion mount. Plus some physical stuff like a compass, map, soundtrack and a few other things. If you just buy the key, then I'm guessing the frost lion mount would be the only difference pretty much.

BTW, you must enter the code backwards to get all of the items. I entered it forwards (from left to right) and only got some items and then did it backwards (from right to left) and got the rest.

Some people selling on Amazon will do that. Just need to request it. I did it with the standard edition with my Husband's account. My main account has the collectors edition but the seller sent me the code for that one ahead of time while the physical collectors was posted.

Just ask the seller's here if they will simply email the codes. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/ol/B002I0HJG8/ref=olp_tab_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new

its about $20 now, and I assume there is a method to activate it

So I'm new, and just looked into this - all I could find was a $25 copy on Amazon

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002I0HJG8?#Ask

Which says it gives you 8 character slots, 4 bank tabs, a mount and 30 trade broker slots.

so i just buy this one? and thats it? http://www.amazon.com/Tera-Online-PC/dp/B002I0HJG8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1425842706&sr=8-1&keywords=founder+tera

I think $20 is cheaper http://www.amazon.com/Tera-Online-Pc/dp/B002I0HJG8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1369656692&sr=8-1&keywords=tera

Happened to me too on another toon, ugh it was frustrating!!!!!

As for character creation limit, buy this cd from amazon, then redeem the code- gets you free mount for ALL characters, and 8 slots on all servers!

http://www.amazon.com/Tera-Online-PC/dp/B002I0HJG8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1449014686&sr=8-2&keywords=tera

Probably, they did this for the last two characters i believe. If you need slots i recommend spending $15 to get tera on amazon the code will give you founders edition and you will have 8 slots on every server plus a bunch of other stuff. you enter the code twice once just as its written and then backwards for the mount and stuff. Obviously you need to buy it new, dont know how many there are when you see this. You might also be able to get a code on kinguin or g2a.

https://www.amazon.com/Tera-Online-PC/dp/B002I0HJG8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1482903126&sr=8-1&keywords=tera

It's also under $25 on amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Tera-Online-Pc/dp/B002I0HJG8

http://www.amazon.com/Tera-Online-PC/dp/B002I0HJG8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1382249172&sr=8-2&keywords=tera

this is what I bought... mainly because I have prime.

I will cast my votes for TERA and Rift. Rift is 100% free and very well polished since it was a pay-to-play game originally. Their F2P model is one of the best around.

TERA is a great action MMO with a very active community. If you intend to play TERA, I recommend picking up a boxed copy of the game as that will unlock 8 character slots per server and many other perks (see the Founder column) for a one-time fee of (currently) $16.50. If you enter the CD key backwards, you also get a second free mount (entering the key normally gives the Terminus mount whereas entering it backwards gives the Tawny Huntress mount).

You can create an account and play TERA while you wait for your boxed copy to arrive, then apply the codes to your current account. You don't have to create the account with the boxed copy's CD key to get the perks.

Doesn't really need to be collector's edition.

Actually I wasn't in the Wrong here is how it ended:

Hi ManUpstairz,

Kyle, our evening supervisor, forwarded me this ticket (actually both of the chats), so I wanted to get back in touch with you regarding your question. Let me start of by saying I do completely understand what you are asking for, at least I hope I do. From what you said, my understanding is that you would like to order the digital collector's edition of TERA from the En Masse web site, so that you get early access and the digital pre-order bonus items (Frostlion mount and two necklaces). Like me, you prefer to have an actual box on you shelf for games you have purchased, so you asked if we could send you a boxed copy of the standard edition when it is released. Also, you are not interested in the tangible items that are included with the Physical Collector's Edition.

I did see that your account had access to the 4th closed beta, but I went ahead and got you set up for this weekend's closed beta, as well as the upcoming open beta. I also believe I have a solution that will take care of your request. Since we only offer the digital versions of TERA on the En Masse Store (the Physical Collector's edition is sold out), your best bet is to pre-order the standard edition physical copy from one of our pre-order retail partners. The link for the Amazon page is below.

http://www.amazon.com/Tera-Online-Pc/dp/B002I0HJG8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333467051&sr=8-1

Pre-ordering the game from here will get you early access to live servers (3 days before launch), and in-game bonus items (Level 10 City Wheel Earrings, Level 35 Seren's Sand Ring, and Armored Pinto in-game mount). You will also get the actual box and disk shipped to you when it is released on May 1st. Amazon will email you a code within a few days of the purchase, which you would then apply to your TERA account through our web page, It will change your account status from Trial to Standard.

Since you are also interested in the digital items that come with the collector's edition of TERA, we do offer an upgrade through the TERA online store, http://store.enmasse.com. We offer an upgrade to the Digital Collector's Edition for $9.99, and it grants all of the digital items that come with the collector's edition. When you order this, you will receive another code to apply to your account through the TERA web site. This will change your account status from Standard to Collector's.

My hope is this is the solution to your inquiry. Early access, the digital items from the collector's edition, and a physical box and disk to put on your shelf. If there is anything else we can help with, please don't hesitate to let us know. Thanks, and enjoy the beta this weekend!

Yes it is true.

See what I did there? Do you have a citation?

TERA Pre-order
GW2 Pre-order
TSW Pre-order

Also for example, another game with no release date:

>PlanetSide 2 has now officially shown up for Pre Order for 49.99 on several websites!

http://www.planetside-universe.com/news-planetside-2-pre-order-2512.htm

Where are these options to reserve a game for $5? In every MMO I've ever seen/played, a pre-order was always a full game purchase, you just had the option to cancel it before release.
