Why does the event give a +12 scroll no new player could use?

in TERA PC - General Discussion
A friend had been trying to get me to play this game for a while and with the event I decided to try. Part of why was the +12 scroll. My friend said +12 was good enough for most content so I thought it would be fun to try it out but when I hit 65 and tried using the scroll on the mid tier weapon I found out that it only works on really expensive crafted gear that would take weeks/months for a new player to get (and they would need gear to even get the materials). I feel like I got baited into leveling to 65 with a reward that I couldn't use, the other rewards aren't impressive at all (everything else is useless once you run the first few dungeons and the mount is literally the same as the free one just slightly faster) and the only good reward isn't usable for anyone new. I feel like I got nexon-style baited and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Is this a bug maybe or did they intend to give a useless +12 scroll?

    Not useless...You have Vanguard missions that you can do each day (solo) to get the crystals to buy tier11 gear...no crafting needed especially if you have the +12 scroll. It won't take weeks. Just a couple days. You can get all tier 11 gear that way, although enchanting the rest will mean grinding for mats. The circlet fragments allows you to buy a head piece. The fragments are the only way to get those out side dungeons. The veterans cape is a kind rare item. And a free mount is a free mount. Really not sure how you were "baited" into leveling to 65 on a free to play game. But thanks for posting such a nice post without checking all this first.

    I see the event staff arent the only ones with reading comprehension problems. Here, let me make it simple for you. The +12 scroll only works on crafted gear, not gear gotten from dungeons or crystal exchanges or anything else. Do you understand now?

    It says it can only be used on gears that can be awaked sadly. I do not think it's useless though all a person needs to do is 1. farm gold and by ambush sets or grind it out and hope to get lucky

    It's useless to a new player. Maybe the above poster is right and this event was meant for existing rich players to gear their alts and not for new players. By the time you farm the gold for crafted gear you have enough to get better than crafted gear from what I was told so it is overall useless to anyone who wasn't sitting on a ton of gold and crafting materials before the event. If it really was geared toward current players they should have added some kind of must have a maxed character restriction or something so potential new players didnt get baited.

    it was basically an accident that they never really addressed aside from saying "theres nothing we can do about it now"

    There's an easy fix for this issue if EME cared to do it.
    Basically, get the gear you want to +12 and then send in a ticket, so that Support +12s it for you (like if it were an actual working scroll) and then Support removes the scroll from your inventory.

    or, you know, just swap out the scrolls for non tradeable enchanting mats or something

    No cause that would still require RNG and tbh more work for EME while the scroll is a guaranteed thing, and getting Support to +12 is fairly simple.

    Or send you a parcel of several mats that would allow you to enchant till +12 one pice.

    Just saying something like:

    - 100 mes
    - 100 iis
    - 300 spellbinds
    - 2.5k t11 fs
    - 480 mwa
    - 320 t11 alks

    Even thought this scroll has his value if you aim for a better gear than mid tier but you are not allowed to get BiS because of time.

    Most of the crafting mats for ambush are droped in low level and mid tier dungeons and only envy and hankies drops from HM dungeons as BRHM, AIHM, MMHM. So if you save the enchanting mats you get across from running dungeons and then use them for enchanting Ambush crafted gear you will have a gear 15% better than Misery.

    All this will have to take into account if you have the time to farm for Ambush or not but let me tell you that if you have the time to farm enchanting mats for Misery then you could get crafting mats to make Ambush, so if you make a smart play then you would have all you need to craft Ambush weapon when you get farmed the enchanting materials needed for +12 a normal misery weapon.

    ...or silently change the scroll's properties to allow Misery or such to be compatible with the scroll? I really cannot imagine it being all that hard, if it was hard there wouldn't be such scroll to begin with.
  • LilMsQTayLilMsQTay ✭✭✭
    Yea, I trashed the scroll. Its worthless to me.

    They should make a patch for that to work and we all know that patches came with some issues also xD
