Preview: Gardan of the Ice



Dying to know what’s in store for TERA? This preview gives you a short taste of what’s coming up in patch 103.
Look forward to the new Killing Grounds instance, where you’ll face off against a seriously brutal final boss. Plus test your mettle in Lumikan’s Trial in The Catalepticon. The patch also brings promised improvements to etchings, and many other changes.

New Dungeon: Killing Grounds

Already cut Lumikan down to size? Then it’s time to take Gardan to task. This seasoned warrior has earned a chilling reputation in Killian’s icy arena. Enter the Citadel of Torment in Westonia to enter the arena and challenge the new boss… if you have the guts!
Gardan is a berserker who employs an array of icy attacks to bring the pain. Watch out when he goes apoplectic, and be prepared for his attempts to lock you and your companions in a dome of ice. This shrinks the combat area and lets Gardan get up close and personal – just the way he likes it!
The boss is accessible to all players in normal and hard difficulties.





Kaia’s Soul Gear – Hand and Footwear

Last time you got access to the new weapons and armor. Now patch 103 brings the matching gloves and footwear! You can get this gear in the same way as before, but there are new required materials which need to be collected in Gardan’s dungeon!

Etchings

As mentioned in our 2021 preview, all those temporary etchings will become permanent in this update, swapped out as follows:
• 30-day etchings turn into a permanent version
• 60-day etchings turn into 2 permanent versions
Even etchings that have already been applied to equipment will be converted during the server maintenance, but ONLY if they haven’t expired yet by that time.

Good luck against Gardan!

Event: Battle Pass – Season 8



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.

Event Period

The event runs until **23rd February 2021** (10 AM CET, 4 AM EST).

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.

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 Exclusive to 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).
