Level 65. Completely new to Tera. Have Questions
Currently I am a f2p and my first character is a Level 65 Aman Sorceress with a guile set and I'm thinking about making it my main.
Completely newb here, so I have some questions:
1. Read on this guide: https://www.essentialmana.com/hallexs-sorcerer-pve-guide/
that Elin has way faster attack animations then aman. Is this true? If so are there any dps charts to back this claim up(or is it just rumor) and it's terrible balancing lol and I might have to make another character from scratch.
2. While I was trying to do more research on the different mechanics on tera, I found a surprising lack of information and active youtube/twitch channels to watch. Are there any you guys think I might've missed? i.e. specific youtube channels or twitch channels. So far, I found https://www.essentialmana.com to be most helpful.
3. Are there any noob friendly guilds that you guys know where I can ask questions and interact with people?
4. From what I found out, the highest tier for equipment in this game is level 12? However, again, there was a lack of information(that I could find) about those sets. I.e. how long would it take for me to farm up to tier 12 set? Would it be faster if I got elite account? Any links that I can read more about the end end game equips/sets?
Thanks

3. You'll have to ask in-game, especially since you didn't say what server you're on.
4. Highest tier is tier 12, and it's going to take a while. Essential mana has a progression guide that lists every available gear set, you might want to have a look at it.
As for Sorc animations, I have mentioned on the link Karma wrote that using Elin is close to 9% extra damage due to the faster animations of Lightning Strike, one of the core skills. This is dependent on whether animations will either be equalized in the future or if the main culprit skills are nerfed to promote a more varied rotation. It is actually even more noticable the higher your ping (You might miss at least 1 spell cast per Mana Boost and the more spells you miss the lower your dps output naturally). Note that this is only in respect to PvE. In PvP the faster animations on Elin will probably not matter as much due to pvp builds having enough attack speed to maximise combos regardless of race. Regardless, skill and the knowledge on how to gear your sorc is still very important: A low ping elin sorc will still lose to a high ping highelf sorc if the elin's crit factor is low and doesn't know their rotations and the highelf knows the class to its heart, and Sorc has a robust enough rotation.
Talk to people on global if you are playing in NA times. Do so too even if you are not, there will sometimes be people willing to help you. Sure Global can be really sarcastic and trolly at times but there WILL be some that are willing to help you, even if the response is not immediate.
Don't bother with the highest tier in the game if you are just starting out. Like most other games, Tera doesn't exactly let you get the end-game gear easy. However, EME has been really kind so many people who have been playing a while would have been able to craft their end-game set. If you are completely new, I highly recommend you to learn up rotations, make alts if you want to gold grind (I use to not recommend this, but with the upcoming gear update which changes the enchanting system, I am forced to recommend this tip), get used to dungeons and farm 3-4stars regularly. With Misery you should be able to do most content in the game.
I'm currently on the Ascension Valley server. I just finished getting my Guile weapon to +12 mw and my armor to mw. Probably will finish mw and enchanting the entire set in like 2 days. Do you know approximately how long it will take me to grind to tier 12 end game as a f2p? Will it be faster if I get an elite account?
For my first character, I played through most of the quests to get the story. If I were to remake a ellin sorc and grind it through duengons, will that be a pretty fast grind to 65?
Lastly, end game tera is sounding a lot like diablo 3 end game lol.
So for newb friendly guilds on AV, Agnus Dei (at least they used to be, I don't know how they are right now) and Q Neverland might work, if they have room. Plenty of people to run stuff with and/or ask questions.
No idea how long it'd take (don't expect it soon, anyway), but yes, it would be faster with Elite, if only for the 2x dungeon entries.
Getting to 65 if you don't care about doing story quests can be done really fast (last time I got one from 1-65, it took about 15 hours total, and that's with procrastinating a few hours. I did have the Elite xp boost, though). You can just grind BAMs while queuing for dungeons and/or doing the Kuma Royale BG.
