[h2]Azart Tank Abion[/h2]
Rogash decided the time had come to try his hand at fusing flesh and machine. The end-product was Abion, designed to power itself by sucking the energy from its occupants. Rogash tricked his loyal servant Amur into entering the belly of this beast. Despite the terrible torture inflicted on his body, he managed to lead the nagan army in the invasion of Exodor.



[h2]Meet Abion![/h2]
Aside from packing an almighty punch, Abion can also go on the defensive and aid its allies. By defeating Abion, you can lay claim to a new mask, but there are rewards for more than just landing the final blow. The Exodor update brings plenty of participation rewards, and even a jackpot bonus.
When Abion appears, a global message will appear informing all players about the impending danger. Abion will be lurking to the south-east of the Verrak Fortress in the Azart Invasion Point.

The 64-bit overhaul of TERA has only just arrived, and yet patch 98 is already in the starting blocks – with the new Forbidden Arena fighters Immortalis and Aeternia, the return of Kezzel’s Gorge, and new jewelry!



Fierce Brawlers

At item level 480, the new dungeon (Immortalis) Forbidden Arena will really put you through your paces – Killian’s champion Immortalis is a Brawler of distinction and will relentlessly pummel you with his fists. His kicks pack quite a punch too, so watch out!
The (Aeternia) Forbidden Arena, designed for item level 461, is also available 5 times a week in normal mode (10 times for Club members).

Kezzel’s Gorge

Kezzel’s Gorge is reopening its gates for a limited time. The dungeon has been redesigned for 5-player groups – it previously challenged a whole 7 players. You’ll need an item level of at least 452, and you’ll have 40 weekly entries available to you to grind this stone giant to rubble. Can you defeat him or will he stomp you into the ground?

New Jewelry

New rings and necklaces were added for you to loot a few patches ago. This new update is now bringing the matching earrings and circlets.
You can pick up the new Strength and Power Fidelity Earrings and the Fidelity Circlet in the new Forbidden Arena. Once again, there are also new options and Talent Stones for infusing options.

Other Changes

As usual, this patch also brings with it an array of minor changes, which you can read about in the patch notes. Among other things, you can look forward to expanded broker options allowing you to search for specific options, special costumes and partners as loot in selected dungeons, and the new training dungeon for Bahaar’s Sanctum.
