Patch Notes 88: Exodor Cryptograms
Patch 88 is going to be the final update for 2019! On 10th December, we’ll be updating the servers with this patch – look forward to loads of cool changes! Please note that some names in these notes are subject to change and may differ in the final release.
Darkstone Cryptograms
Darkstone Cryptograms are a new type of treasure map which you can search for in Exodor!
You’ll need the following four items which can be found on the various small islands around Exodor:
• Worn Darkstone Cryptogram (1)
• Incomplete Darkstone Cryptogram (2)
• Damaged Darkstone Cryptogram (3)
• Darkstone Cryptogram Key (4)
Once you have recovered all four items, you can combine them into a Decrypted Darkstone Cryptogram (5). This item can then be used to locate the treasure!
You can see the islands where the items can be found on this map:
Recover the treasure and get your hands on Darkstone Fragments which can be exchanged for Dark Shard Feedstock!
Sealed Darkstones
New Sealed Darkstones will be added to the island – if you find one, you can use a Darkstone Sealbreaker to open it.
In return, you’ll receive Dark Shard Feedstock to exchange!
Changes to Level 68+ Contents
In order to make it easier to acquire and enchant golden level 69 gear, the following additions are coming with patch 88.
New Gear
- A new version of level 69 gear has been created
o Cannot be traded or dismantled
o No random stats
o Cannot regress when enchanting and requires fewer items
- The gear can be unlocked via a new medal
o One medal per daily vanguard quest for the Verrak Fortress
o One medal per 2,000 reputation points with the Exodor factions
o Each item requires 20 medals
Note: The new version of the gear is somewhat weaker than the existing version (because of the lack of random stats) but it’s easier to enchant. The items are otherwise completely identical, having the same basic stats, appearance and improvements when enchanting.
In a later patch (coming next year), it will also be possible to develop the gear into ‘mythical’ items, which similarly have no random stats or ‘special mythical skills’.
More Dark Shard Feedstock
The chance of getting Dark Shard Feedstock from opponents in Exodor has been increased.
In addition there are new tradeable chests. As soon as you open them, you receive non-tradeable enchanting materials. The chests can also be purchased from Exodor reputation merchants.
More Duranium
The Vanguard Initiative quests from the Verrak Fortress will be rewarded with Pure Refined Duranium Ore from patch 88. This can also be purchased from Exodor reputation merchants.
Classes
Brawler
• Growing Fury
o Increased aggro generation from 10 to 25%
Mystic
• Arunic Release
o Increased skill damage by 50%
o Reduced number of explosions from 5 to 4
o Increased MP cost to 1,000
o Increased cooldown to 10 seconds
Regional Changes
TERA Club
- The TERA Club now offers two additional passive boosters!
o Permanently increase skill advancement XP by 50%
o Permanently increase talent XP by 100%
- The two potions which can be used daily (for 1 hour) to increase talent XP have been removed.
Dark Shard Box
- Dark Shard Boxes which can be purchased in the shop will no longer contain trade chests from patch 88.
- Instead they will contain the various items in their original (non-tradeable) form.
- Boxes purchased before the patch will not be affected by this change, and contain trade chests as before.

- It is now possible to adjust the size of damage numbers.
