Hello all,

Please forgive my broken english, it's not my natural language !

I play Tera since its release, first on the European version, then on EnMasse.
However, I stopped after Bathysmal Rise HM and Sky Cruiser Endeavor HM.
My stuff was full +12 BR HM but no VM.

My question is: How much farm time should I count to get me back in the race? What is the stuff to farmer right now? Is membership to a guild mandatory to succeed?

Thank you in advance,

Hyxia

    Don't bother coming back to be honest. Game has gone down hill tbh, but if you must....

    New gear sets are Guile, Ambush (VM8), and Behemoth (VM 8.5). Guile is earning through standard end-game dungeons, Ambush on Hardmode I believe, and Behemoth is only earned through the new raid "Harrowhold" which isn't worth it. Standard starter gear is set to Slaughter now. Be sure to look up guides on Lilith's Keep and Ruinous Manor, as people are still going in without any understanding of the mechanics. :expressionless: Getting Guile set and accessories could take a week or less possibly. I personally haven't bothered going for Ambush due to low pc performance, but I'd guess getting that set shouldn't take very long either. The real challenge is getting Behemoth, which I don't recommend putting yourself through a long hours on end raid; it's not worth the time put in.

    When you log back in, you will have a set of story quests to complete to help you get started. Slaughter is starter set, then guile which is the current mid tier set. If you plan to dedicate more time and effort into the game, you can upgrade to either Imperator or Ambush. Ambush is the current VM for this patch, but if you don't have enough resources to make it, you can always settle for Imperator, which is buffed for this patch. You do not have to join a guild to succeed; however, being in one has some perks such as finding a reliable group to run stuff with.

    low tier gear = slaughter - you can get this in less than 1 hour. Easy to MW and +12. You can use this for solo low tier IOD, Ghill, CW, SSNM, LKNM, Vok, DFHM.

    mid tier gear = Guile gear - Easy to get. Maybe 1 or 2 days to get full part. +12 Healers, +12 lancer/ brawler are enough for all pve. But, most of LF pug party may ignore or kick +12 dps from RMHM and HH. About a week of farming to get +12.

    mid high tear = +15 IMP - Just buy it from Trade broker. It's cheaper that way. 250~350k gold. There is IMP box. Easy to get the mats for VM7. But, nearly impossible to get the designs for it.

    high tear = Ambush vm8 - You need farm for lady's handkerchief and envy crystal. I cleared RMHM about 30 times with my mystic and priest. I got 3 lady's handkerchief. It depends on rolling dice. I got 2 more from BG KS point. 10 more lady's to go unless I open boxes.
    If you feel lucky, join HH raid with a heal class. You may can win ambush box.

    Normally, +15 imp/+12 gloves gear will do about 1.5~2 times more dps than +12 Guile.
    +15 ambush will do about 2 times more dps than +12 Guile.

    Priest and Tank don't really need +15. These classes still require more skills than fancy gear. We need more Tank.
    But, if dps class are too weak, they can still clear the dungeon, But, it will take much longer than +15 team. It's like 30 min VS 15 min.
    +12 Sorc and +12 Archer do slightly less dps than +15 imp melee class. Good +12 archer can do 900k~1 mil dps/s on boss.
