    useless? I dunno, 6 free level up, free tempo 280 mounts & costumes, exp/gold booster, massive amount of gold, all that for recruit (who's doing all the job btw)
    and free buffs, enchant mats, mount/costume/pet (pet that is sellable) for mentor, I don't see how this is any close to useless, anyhow, I wouldn't mind some update, but so far so good.

    From my impression the BuddyUp system is not working as intended. The old players just throw in their codes and hope that someone bites and uses it. The basic idea of this mentoring is that new players get to learn the ropes, in worst case even being spoonfed. In best case, the old player gets a high potential new guild mate with high loyality, enthusiasm and motivation to progress the guild, the atmosphere and so on. As said, apparently a lot of newbies stop playing <lvl 30.

    So, why should BHS update such a lacking system? The only ones benefitting from this are those who level up on a second account. Instead the BuddyUp system should be combined with the old "blast from the past". The mentor being downgraded in levels and able to run dungeons with the mentee, able to teach killing BAMs, show proper glyphing, movement, rotations and so on.
  • xp boosts are nothing; you can get level 65 in 1 day.
    mounts; useless; u tp everywhere u need to go
    gold boost is decent; end game gold farming is way faster
    but what im referring to is the useless charms, fires, +12 scroll and reset scrolls.

    there are no firecamp, charms, they've been remplaced already by nostrum and such. XP boost are helpful if you wanna follow story. As for the mount, very same thing. People don't really teleport everywhere unless they have elite, else mount is great, and even just to run in towns, it's good to have it. Gold boost is decent indeed, and I repeat, free... sure it doesn't get better than lvl 65 farming gold... cuz duuh...

    +12 scroll can be used on slaughter weapon (unless my thought is from warrior box) to start without much struggle and save money for Guile.

    I gotta say, what's the catch from using buddyup code, the mentor hardly get anything valueable, I prefered back when it was firecamp, triple charms and feast, was more helpful, but whatever, it is still okay for all the non-elite. Else you get that token at the end... which hardly have any value, while recruit gets arround 90-95k gold valuewise.

    And yes, it was meant for actual players to help lowbies, although MMORPG is known to be end-game contents only, and Tera is known to be a dying game, so put that together and you get a very small community that careless about new players. Even this threat careless since none of you ever mentionned that "new players" might be intrested to play the game for what it is, aka a "RPG" at first, aka for the storyline.

    I given over 100 buddyup code total and I offered my help everytime, but very few get to lvl 65 anyhow. Most stops at lvl 40 to 64 (true story... 64). Most of the comments are: To easy, no need help and it get boring. Sadly, the game became to easy and require close to no skills at all to clear, even end-game... The only "hard part" of Tera is the lag... that add a slim challenge.

    The +12 scroll if for tier 1-7. Slaughter weapon is T9. Your only option is to masterwork and +12 leveling gear. (which is stupid since all leveling equipment is replaced so frequently)

    alright, well that +12 scroll should be re-ajusted then, possibly even allow it to be used on guile, it wouldn't change much anyway. I was mistaken with the +12 from warrior box after the revamp it seems, since I know I used it on the given slaughter before discarding it (was just farming the boxes for the sellable pieces)
