[h3]New Jewelry
Rings and Necklaces[/h3]

You can loot new accessories in the form of Fidelity rings and necklaces in the Draakon Arena:
  • Crit factor Fidelity rings and necklaces increase your crit factor
  • Power Fidelity rings and necklaces increase your power
  • The new jewelry contains 3 random stats. The following are possible:
  • Physical/magic amplification
  • Physical/magic crit damage
  • Physical/magic penetration
  • Physical/magic resistance
  • Ignore physical/magic resistance
  • Max. HP/MP
  • Crit factor

Unfortunately, existing jewelry cannot be enhanced to receive Fidelity jewelry.

[h3]Talent Stones[/h3]

You can transfer additional stats using Talent Stones via the existing Equipment Merging menu. The Ocean Ring and Flame Necklace Talent Stones required to do this are available as loot in the Draakon Arena (Hard).

The Talent Stones have 5 stats each, 2 of which can be transferred to your ring or necklace at random. The possible stats correspond to those of the accessory.

[h3]Fidelity Cube[/h3]

If you’ve managed to collect a number of power rings but would prefer crit factor rings or vice versa, you can combine 3 identical rings using a Fidelity ring cube for a chance to get the alternative type. The same goes for Fidelity necklaces.

Fidelity Ring Cube
Place three rings in the mechanism to receive a new random Fidelity ring.
Fidelity necklace cube
Place 3 necklaces in the mechanism to receive a new random Fidelity necklace.
These cubes can be purchased from Specialty Stores in the big cities.

[h3]Protective Voucher for Enchantment[/h3]

After the update, you will be able to purchase protective vouchers from Mysterio, the dimension merchant, that will help you with the enchantment of your equipment.

There are Stat and Damage Protection Vouchers. There will be an additional UI area in the Enchant menu showing how many vouchers you need and what effect they will have.

The added vouchers will be consumed during enchantment whether they are needed or not. They only work for Legendary Annihilation or Dark Light gear, and Kaia’s Gear of Wisdom and Kaia’s Nightmare Gear. The vouchers have no effect on Eternal gear.

[h3]Stat Protection Voucher[/h3]

30%, 50%, and 70% versions of the Stat Protection Voucher are available from Mysterio. If you use these vouchers during the enchantment, you will have a corresponding chance of your item not falling an enchantment level if the enchantment fails.
You will need between 3 and 161 vouchers, depending on the item and enchantment level.

[h3]Damage Protection Voucher[/h3]

30%, 50%, and 70% versions of the Damage Protection Voucher are available from Mysterio. If you use these vouchers during the enchantment, you will have a corresponding chance of your item not becoming damaged if the enchantment fails.
You will need between 4 and 12 vouchers, depending on the item and enchantment level.

[h3]Trading with Mysterio[/h3]

There is a set probability of dimension merchant Mysterio appearing at the end of the following dungeons:
  • Corrupted Skynest (Normal, Hard)
  • Draakon Arena (Normal, Hard)
  • Forbidden Arena
  • Bahaar’s Sanctum
  • Akalath Quarantine
  • Gossamer Vault (Hard)
  • Antaroth’s Abyss (Hard)
  • Grotto of Lost Souls (Hard)

You’ll have to be quick though, as Mysterio disappears soon after he appears: you’ll have just 2 minutes to trade with him!

Mysterio also stocks a design that alchemy artisans can use to create a Damage Protection Voucher (30%). This requires 1x Dark Shard Weapon Feedstock and 2x Dark Shard Armor Feedstock.

[h3]New PvP Zone: The Core[/h3]

Patch 95 introduces a new PvP zone where players must fight it out amongst themselves for their foes and their ‘????’ reputation.

· Buy the Teleport Scroll: The Core from Christoph on Exodor to enter this zone.

· Christoph also sells Exodor Core Essence which is required to be able to survive for 20 minutes in the zone (without this protection you will instantly die).

You can hunt down monsters in this zone for reputation, or bring down other players for rewards. Once enough enemies have been defeated, a special boss appears.

Among others, you can lay claim to the following items:

· Core Ring Talent Stone and Core Necklace Talent Stones which allow you to add new PvP options to the new rings and necklaces.

· Exodor cubes which allow you to transform existing belts/brooches/masks into random new items.

· Materials for enchanting PvP gear.



[h3]Partner Adventures[/h3]

Open your Companion list from the menu or via the new button next to the radar, and send your partner on their very own adventure!



Move the mouse over the different adventure objectives for information about the required partner level and the potential rewards. Each adventure lasts between 8 and 12 hours, and you can dispatch a maximum of 3 partners at any one time – so choose your objective wisely.
You’ll find Adventure Completion Tickets in dungeons, which will bring a journey to an immediate end.

The status of your partner’s adventure is shown next to the radar. This will tell you if a partner is on the road or if an adventure has been completed. This information is also available on the character selection screen.

Once an adventure has been completed, click on the corresponding message to collect your partner’s loot. After that, you’ll be able to send your partner on their travels again. The potential rewards range from partner XP and skill advancement XP, right through to enchanting materials and even halidoms and relics.
[h3]
Gathering & Crafting
New Gathering Tool[/h3]

With the Almighty Gathering Tools, you’ll be able to gather all kinds of materials – 2 seconds faster than before!
You can craft an Almighty Gathering Tool I yourself. To do so you’ll need a design from a refining merchant in one of the 4 big cities.

Using Tool Refinement Stones, which you can gather or craft yourself, you can improve your tool from level I to level V. Alternatively, you can combine existing high-level tools into a higher-level Almighty tool. You’ll need 3 different tools of the same rarity for this.

When gathering with your new tool, you’ll have the chance of a critical gathering success, giving you significantly more materials at once. Please keep in mind that partners cannot make critical gathering successes, even if you possess the new tool.

[h3]New Collection Targets[/h3]

Two new materials that can now be gathered have been added to Exodor and some existing dungeons:

Pure Duranium Ore
Yields Duranium Shards when gathered
Pure Duranium Crystal
Yields Duranium Arunic Crystals when gathered

[h3]Crafting[/h3]

New designs can be used to process Duranium Shards and Duranium Arunic Crystals into Duranium Equipment Vouchers. This involves several steps and the use of designs, and requires refining and processing.

As a result, you will receive Duranium Equipment Vouchers, or – if you have a critical success – Shiny Duranium Equipment Vouchers, which you can exchange for additional stats on your gear.

Duranium Equipment Vouchers can contain the following stats:

  • Power
  • Endurance
  • Max. HP
  • Crit factor
  • Crit resist factor
  • Crit power


Shiny Duranium Equipment Vouchers can contain the following stats:

  • Power
  • Endurance
  • Crit factor
  • Crit resist factor


[h3]New Skill Books[/h3]

As of patch 95, you can pay a little Gold to a merchant and increase your gathering level or trading skill directly to the maximum. However, you must have reached level 65 to do so. You’ll find the new books here:

  • The Specialty Store sells books that increase your gathering level to 300.
  • The refining merchant sells an almanac that increases your refining to 800.
  • The processing merchant sells an almanac that increases your processing to 800.
  • The alchemy merchant sells an almanac that increases your alchemy to 800.
  • The etching merchant sells an almanac that increases your etching to 800.
  • The fishing gear merchant sells an almanac that increases your cooking to 800.


[h3]Class Balancing[/h3]

  • Passive: Blood Rage

Greatly increased the scaling of the damage increase
  • Unleashed

5% damage increase from Kaia’s Gear is now always active irrespective of your HP during the attack

  • Incantation

Mystic

  • Reduced the points for participation in Arborea Guardian Missions by half.


[h3]Item Changes[/h3]

  • Added crate for Exodor scout equipment to Vanguard Initiative merchants

Event: Battle Pass – Season 4



Complete missions, fill your Battle Pass and unlock different reward levels – earn recognition for your dungeon runs, battlegrounds, cooking and other skills in this event!
Complete different missions each day and earn Battle Points in reward. You can take your BP to Master Iaito in Highwatch and exchange them for ever better reward chests, up to the fabulous Ultimate Chest.

Whoever successfully completes the season will get a Lethal Intent Potion from the final rewards chest. This can be used repeatedly for 30 days to produce a magical and sinister fog effect around you.

[h3]Event Period[/h3]

Start: 4th June at 10:00 AM
End: 2nd July at 10:00 AM

[h3]Starting Missions[/h3]

Each day you’ll receive a mission briefing one minute after logging in for the first time. This will contain 4 random dungeon missions, one random solo mission, one crafting mission, plus a ticket for a battleground or dungeon mission of your choice. Each mission is embodied by an item in your inventory which will remain in your possession for up to 12 hours.
You can receive additional missions at the weekend for your time online; during the week you’ll receive extra Battle Points instead.

[h3]Completing Missions[/h3]

To complete a dungeon mission, you require a token from the respective dungeon. Each final boss will drop one token per party member, i.e. you’ll need to complete the dungeon just once. Collect your token from the boss and then right-click to complete the mission. You’ll earn BP in reward. The same applies for battleground missions.

Solo missions can be completed in the same way. In this case, however, you earn the tokens from Vanguard Initiative quests instead of from the dungeon boss.

Right-clicking on crafting missions opens a window in which you’ll need to drag the amount of silex, meals or plates. Once you’ve done that, the mission will be complete and you’ll receive your BP.

[h3]Rewards[/h3]

The BP you earn can be converted into reward chests from Iaito in Highwatch. Each chest (with exception of the Ultimate Chest) contains a reward and returns the BP used to open it. That means your BP level remains unchanged and you don’t have to start back from scratch after each chest. You can only receive each chest once.

Iaito also has a selection of golden reward chests available. These work exactly the same as the regular reward chests, except that you need a [Battle Pass] Gold Key from the TERA Shop to open them. This key will open all the golden reward chests without being consumed, so you only need the one key to open all the chests.

Once you’ve collected all the rewards, you can convert your BP into an Ultimate Key, unlocking further bonuses. More details can be found further below.

[h3]Inside the Reward Chests[/h3]

  • [Battle Pass] Reward I: 3x Superior Noctenium Refiner
  • [Battle Pass] Reward II: Mirrored Shades
  • [Battle Pass] Reward III: 24x Refined Duranium Ore
  • [Battle Pass] Reward IV: 3x Astonishing Steamed Kirash + 3x Refreshing Steamed Kirash
  • [Battle Pass] Reward V: 10x Legacy Essence
  • [Battle Pass] Reward VI: Smart Box: Triton Beach Headwear
  • [Battle Pass] Reward VII: 5x Pet Candy
  • [Battle Pass] Reward VIII: 5x Emerald
  • [Battle Pass] Reward IX: 100x Dark Shard Armor Feedstock
  • [Battle Pass] Reward X: 5x Liquid Exollusion
  • [Battle Pass] Reward XI: TERA Club Membership (3 Days)
  • [Battle Pass] Reward XII: 50x Dark Shard Weapon Feedstock
  • [Battle Pass] Reward XIII: 5x Card Fragment Random Box (Common)
  • [Battle Pass] Reward XIV: Lethal Intent Potion


[h3]Inside the Golden Reward Chests[/h3]
  • [Battle Pass] Gold Reward I: Panama Hat
  • [Battle Pass] Gold Reward II: 50x Azkan Ornament Fragment
  • [Battle Pass] Gold Reward III: 1x Companion List Expansion (5 Slots)
  • [Battle Pass] Gold Reward IV: Stamp: Rubber Duck
  • [Battle Pass] Gold Reward V: 48x Refined Duranium Ore
  • [Battle Pass] Gold Reward VI: 20x Improved Dark Shard Armor Feedstock
  • [Battle Pass] Gold Reward VII: Smart Box: Triton Swimwear
  • [Battle Pass] Gold Reward VIII: 2x Adventure Coin (1,200)
  • [Battle Pass] Gold Reward IX: 15x Improved Dark Shard Weapon Feedstock
  • [Battle Pass] Gold Reward X: 1x Companion Appearance Change Voucher
  • [Battle Pass] Gold Reward XI: Smart Box: Beach Outing
  • [Battle Pass] Gold Reward XII: 150x Refined Duranium Ore
  • [Battle Pass] Gold Reward XIII: 25x Trade Chest: Card Fragment Random Box (Uncommon)
  • [Battle Pass] Gold Reward XIV: Flying Skill: Carnelian Koinobori


[h3]The Ultimate Key[/h3]

You can still receive bonus rewards after opening all the reward chests by converting your BP into an Ultimate Key. This can be used to open Ultimate Chests which Iaito will give you for 1,000 BP.

Just like the Gold Key, the Ultimate Key is not consumed on use, so you can continue opening chests as long as you have enough BP. Each Ultimate Chest contains 100 Ultimate Coupons which can be exchanged for awesome bonus rewards. Owners of a Gold Key get an extra bonus, as they can also open the box inside each Ultimate Chest containing another 100 coupons.

If you convert your BP into an Ultimate Key too early – meaning that Iaito still has unopened reward chests for you – he can give you a Key Grinder which will break your Ultimate Key back down into the full amount of BP.

[h3]Event Items in the Tikat Shop[/h3]

If you want to make the most of the event, you can visit the Tikat Shop and buy 300 BP or [Battle Pass] Selection Dungeon Tickets to get more missions to complete.

[h3]Note[/h3]

The items belonging to the current season will be deleted before the next season starts, so please use them before this time. This does not affect rewards received (e.g. Ultimate Coupons).
