[h2]Better Enchantment Chances[/h2]

Take advantage of the doubled increase to enchantment chances and reach that epic gear! The increased chances apply to the following items:

• All relics
  
• All halidoms
  

All times are CET

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 Divine Judgment Potion from the final rewards chest. This can be used repeatedly for 30 days to produce a magical glow effect around you.

Event Period

Start: 3rd November at 10:00 AM CET
End: 1st December at 10:00 AM CET

Starting Missions

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.

Completing Missions

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.

Rewards

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.

Inside the Reward Chests

* [Battle Pass] Reward I: 5x Liquid Exollusion
* [Battle Pass] Reward II: 5x Astonishing Steamed Kirash + 5x Refreshing Steamed Kirash

The Ultimate Key

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.

Event Items Now Exclusively in the Tikat Shop

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.

Note
* 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).

Dear community,

the migration site is now available, and you can start with the migration process of your accounts.

Please pay attention to the following:

· The American Servers will open on 12/11/2020 during the day. (You will be informed with an official announcement once the server is live)
· The migration will be possible until 18th December 2020. If you don’t migrate before 18th December, your game account will be lost forever, so please consider migrating as soon as possible.
· A region selector is added in the Gameforge Client. Please note that while this option won't work until the NA servers are live.
· For all the other details of the migration, please read our complete FAQ.

When will Gameforge start running TERA in America?
• On 12th November 2020.

When will En Masse Entertainment shut down their servers?
• EME will shut down their servers on 9th November 2020 (15:59 UTC).

Which build version will the NA servers launch with?
• The NA Servers will be launched with Build 99.

Will TERA Battle Arena be available when the NA servers are open?
• TERA Battle Arena will not be available right away with the opening of the servers, but it will be added soon after the service starts. There will be an official announcement when it's time.

Will anything change regarding the 2 current servers that NA has?
• Gameforge will keep the current server structure that NA has, so everything should be the same as before. Please note that we will rename the servers from Velika to Velik and from Kaiator to Kaia

Do players get to keep their progress to date?
• Yes, players get to keep all their progress as well as their items. Please note that a small number of items might have different content or won’t work anymore after the transfer (e.g. Elite subscription item).
• The Strongbox Keys will be converted into EU Strongbox Keys which can be used to open only EU Strongboxes. If you still have unopened NA Strongboxes, we'd advise you to open them before the server closes.

Will all my current characters be transferred?
• Yes, all characters will be transferred.

Do I keep all the character slots I currently have?
• Yes, but please bear in mind that the number of character slots you have might not be displayed correctly during the initial weeks.

What will happen to my guild/bank/wardrobe/friends list/Buddy-Up codes?
• The guild, bank, wardrobe and friends list remain unchanged.
• Old Buddy-Up codes can no longer be used.

Will characters and guilds keep their names?
• Yes.

What will happen to my Elite Status (called TERA Club in EU)?
• Players who had an active Elite subscription on the NA servers will enjoy TERA Club benefits on our servers as well.
• The remaining subscription time will be carried over from EME.
• The Elite subscription voucher items will not work on EU servers, so please use all of these items before the server shuts down.

! Please note that some text for items or descriptions may be missing or not finalized at the start of the service.​​​​

What happens to the premium currency (EMP) I still have on the NA servers?
• EMP will be transferred at a rate of 100 EMP = 10 Tera Thalers for all players that had a purchase history with EME and that complete the migration process. As a special migration bonus, players will also receive an additional bonus of 30% in TT.
• Players who have only owned free EMP (through events for example) are advised to spend their currency before the servers shut down, as the EMP from those players will not be transferred.

Will the TERA Club subscription and TERA Thaler Balance be shared across EU and NA?
• No, since the EU and NA systems are completely separate from each other, TERA Club subscription and TERA Thaler Balance will also be separate.

Will my existing Founder Status be kept?
• Your existing Founder Status will be kept, but please note that NA players won’t have founder status if they start a character on an EU/SEA Server.

Will account-bound items be kept?
• This is currently not planned so players are advised to claim as many of these items as they need before the server closes.

Do I need to do prepare anything before the EME servers close?
• Please claim all items in your item claim, item broker, mailbox and guild bank before the server shuts down, as unclaimed items may be lost otherwise.
• Please also make sure to exchange all your token items before the server shuts down as some of them might have different content or won’t work anymore afterwards.

In which languages can TERA be played in NA?
• The game will be playable in English, French, German and Russian.
Please note that some text for items or descriptions may be missing or not finalized at the start of the service.

Additional Note: Riding Skills and Riding items will use the EU translation, once the service is transferred, so please keep in mind that there might be different names on specific items than what you were used to.

Can players transfer between the NA servers and EU servers and vice versa?
• While character transfers between the 2 different NA servers will be possible, transferring to an EU server will not. Transferring from an EU server to a NA server will also not be possible.

Can NA players play in instances with EU players?
• No, the NA servers will have their own dungeon server and will not be connected to the EU servers.

What happens to my TERA Rewards Levels?
• The Rewards-System was an EME-unique system that is not available in any other TERA region. As such, it unfortunately won’t be possible to transfer any progress or status for this.
• However, as a token of appreciation for players who have supported TERA for such a long time, players within the following level ranges will receive special one-time rewards:

• Reward Tier 1-4: Exclusive Title, Stamp: Kaleidoptera
• Reward Tier 5-8: Exclusive Title, Smart Box: Azure Blue Yukata, Stamp: Kaleidoptera
• Reward Tier 9: Exclusive Title, Skill Manual: Moon Lotus Aura, Smart Box: Azure Blue Yukata, Stamp: Kaleidoptera
• Reward Tier 10: Exclusive Title, Skill Manual: Moon Lotus Aura, Smart Box: Azure Blue Yukata, Stamp: Kaleidoptera, Flying Skill: Ancient Tyflamosaurous Flex

What will happen to my guild in case the guild leader does not migrate?
• In case a guild leader is inactive for a long period of time and the migration time is over, the second player in the guild ranking can contact our support team to change the leadership.

Will TERA Boutique Coins (Meruma's Deluxe Fashion Shop Coin) change or be removed?
• TERA Boutique coins also exist in the EU version (Meruma's Deluxe Fashion Shop Coin) and will continue to work. There might be small differences though, such as the content of the token store or the amount of tokens you receive for dismantling items.

What will happen to the temporary banks we have from past NA merges?
• We can't confirm as of now whether temporary bank slots will be kept. To make sure that nothing gets lost we would strongly recommend to move the items in those to other places.

Why am I getting a message 'An error has occurred please try again later'​​ while trying to launch the game:

• The servers will only open on 12th of November. Therefore, getting an error message while trying to launch the game earlier is possible.
