What's new? (Returning player here)

Daito

Hi!
I just decided to return to TERA and I'm wondering what's new in the game. I know there are now 2 new classes (last time I played Gunners were recently out). But that's all, I'd like to know which dungeons are new (which seems to be a lot) and what would be the gear progression for somebody who last had a full schisma gear (and I believe my other favorite character was left with devastator lol).

Also, if you could tell me what are the best ways to make gold as of now, that would be great. Last time my best method was creating reapers until 65.

Thank you in advance!

Hm..if im not wrong the dungeons in Schisma patch were SF, AI, VoK and TS?.. now only TS still exists.
The gear progression now would be Dreadnaught -> Slaughter -> Starfall or Imperator (the patch after Schisma had Schisma -> DN -> Starfall so DN will be a good upgrade for you)
Now we have Abscess to farm the first accessories, im guessing you have the Time accessories so that will be a nice upgrade as well.
To get Dreadnaught gear you can do IoD quests (you get the quest from Seir in Highwatch) or farming it in Channelworks or Kalivan's Challenge, both dungeons are really easy but youll need to trust the RNG to get the gear, if youre lucky enough it can be faster to do dungeons for the gear.
After that you would go for Slaughter, which you can get mainly in Dreadspire and Demokron Factory.
To get Starfall, you would need to get the designs for it (buy it from the broker, its the same idea as getting Lucid or Generation, you get an item that gives you a quest for the designs), youll need to see what you need but for SF its Hearts, Ghostly Seals, Spars and Sea Ashes, you can just see what you need and click on the Instances to see what dungeon drops those pieces. (youll need Dread Ores for SF)
For Imperator, you get the design from the top current dungeons (its a drop) and works the same way but you get only 1 design so they are pretty expensive. But its the same idea once you have it, the mats would be the Vernal Barks, Rune of Secrets, Vengeance Versa and Boiling Obamas (you can ask guild or friends-or just random ppl that you know- where to get them specifically because there are many ways to get the same thing). Youll need Colluva Ores for Imp.
Thats the PvE gear progression.
The PvP gear progression right now is DN -> Conflate or Starfall
There is a lot of discussion about Conflate, but if all you want is like a decent gear that you wont need to grind/waste money so much you can just go Conflate Weapon, Armor and Gloves + Starfall Boots and Belt; if youre a healer you have the option to go Starfall Gloves as well since the Conf Gloves dont have healing stats. To get Conflate its pretty simple, farm Battlegrounds, Conflate Gear designs and mats are all in the Bellicarium and Killing Spree stores (and only there, besides the Ores), so farm Kumas if you need Belly credits and FWC if you need KS credits. The mats to craft are Contargentine Nodes(whiteys) and Flataurum Nodes(oranges) + Colluva Ores.
The really new dungeons for now are Demokron Factory, Shadow Sanguinary and Manglemire. The other dungeons are from the previous patch or even older (like Wonderholme and Abscess).
Hope that can answer all your questions
Also, there are some "guides" here in forums on how to make gold, but i see a lot of ppl farming Island of Down quests for it, im not the best person to answer this lol
There are also new solo dungeons which you can go by clicking there

From them you get some tokens that you can use to buy stuff, between the stuff there are Tier II Etchs so its pretty worth it since they arent so expensive either(buying with tokens).
