TERA: Crystal Guide (Advanced Mechanics)

Crystals are attached to equipment in order to improve a character’s chances of survival in a variety of ways. Crystals allow the player to improve the strengths that their class already possess, or they can be used in order to conquer any limitations the class may possess. This in-depth system allows the player to create their own style of play in a very detailed way. In TERA, Crystals are regarded as consumable items, meaning that if a character dies or if you decide to unequip the Crystal, it could be destroyed.

TERA Slayer Guide & Introduction

A new MMORPG is reputed to be coming to the Western Market in 2011. It has many classes, some traditional and some new, to offer the avid gamer. The world looks rich and immersive from the races to the lore.

As a gamer myself, I was very interested in some of the descriptions offered for the classes. I play social role playing games. Unlike many traditional gamers who would play a strong fighter, often slow to mobilize with heavy armor, with intelligence as a dump statistic I tend to prefer a highly mobile fighter with dexterity and high damage who attacks in a strategic fashion.

Tera Online Basics: Homunculus Guide

The Homunculus, introduced in the city of Velika, is a unique pet system in TERA. This pet may offer many different services to its owner. In the recent FGT2, the Homunculus was a personal shop system and this guide will detail the steps to setting one up. Life is much easier when someone else does the buying or selling for you, but of course this system is not without a price. The player will have to take care of its Homunculus in order to keep it alive.

In FGT2, TERA offered a small in-game tutorial explaining all the basics about the Homunculus. Today we will share this information with the community, including some additional information from our team’s experience with our own Homunculi.

TERA Archer Guide & Introduction

There’s a new MMORPG coming to the Western consumer market in 2011. The game TERA is a combination of being the hero of a story and acting rapidly to execute combat maneuvers to bring the player into an immersive world filled with adventure.
There are many race and class combinations available. I’m most interested in the classes, though, as I tend to play the same classes no matter what race I choose. In this world, there are several unique and new premises for a character class and its niche in the party. I am very glad to find the TERA Archer  as a traditional standby for gamers who enjoy dealing death from afar.
The TERA Archer is permitted to wear only light armor and wields bows. The light armor makes for a mobile character who must execute tactical attacks from a ranged vantage point using arrow strikes and traps. Any attempt to play the character in close melee will likely require the gamer to take elusive evasive maneuvers to re-establish distance in this action filled combat.
