Returning player with few questions (Gunner).
Hello,
How's everyone doing ?
I apologize in advance, if this isn't the right section for this kind of thread, i just came back to TERA after like 8 months away (Real life job took me away from civilized world, for that much time
), and i have few questions about the current state of TERA, in order to put myself on the map, and get going.
- For a start, i main a Helf Gunner (used to be an Archer before release), and i have no idea where my class stands on End-Game against other Classes now, would you please describe how's Gunners doing ? what kind of changes affected them, the entire area between November 2015 up to now, is missing for me.
- Honestly speaking, is it worth gearing a Gunner all over again ? I do remember the consecutive Nerfs we had, 1 after the other, and also remember reading about some future nerfs on the way, that i didn't get the chance to witness. I owned & played every other classes at 65 in both PvE/PvP since 2013 except Mystic, and i enjoyed Gunner the most, so again i am very worried, about their state at End-Game.
- i]Random Question[/i 2 new classes came, Brawler & Ninja, are they going through any sort of consecutive nerf or changes, to put them under control ? how's the community attitude toward this two classes ? i remember very well, how Gunners were ... hated and complained about, almost 24/7 despite several hard nerfs.
- Speaking of Gears, i still have my old set VM4 (+15 weapon, +12 Boots) and VM5 (+15 Chest, +15 Gloves), All ETch III (Power,Crit, and End), with VM5 Belt and accessory + sup power Brooch, I know the current top gears are VM7, and probably my gears are worthless now, so i wanted to ask How much time will take to Craft a VM7 Weapon, and what gears should i change and start working for ?
- There seems to be new Glyphs available & new Crystals, any Effective way to farm them, or buy specific ones ?
- Finally, is there anything you feel like sharing with a returning player ? any future news, classes changes, content update, anything on your mind ?
Thank you very much for your time, many thanks in advance to any reply.

as for your question about brawlers and ninjas. both are getting nerfs next patch (i am having alot of fun with ninja but a bit of a nerf is needed tbh) some classes are getting buffed and such
link to the full changes here http://forums.enmasse.com/tera/discussion/2964/aces-wild-class-balance-changes/p1
idk what the item level you have is but Slaughter (the current non-crafted T9 set) will bring you to 414 iLevel which is enough to run SSHM which is the 5* dungeon which drops Imp (T10)
if your looking for crystals the vanguard crystal merchant would be the best place to look at them i believe.
To answer your question about Ninja and Brawler, both have a nerf next patch, although they aren't going to be nerfed 100 times like Gunner. BHS decided instead of nerfing, or taking away from classes, they'll just buff and improve every other class.
For glyphs, you can use 5x Tyrant Blood Tokens to buy boxes and gamble, these are obtained at the end of dungeons. You can also get these boxes with 50x Undershade, 40x Shadecore and 30x Shadetop tokens. You can also buy each individual glyph for 300x Shadetop tokens. The Shade tokens are obtained by completeling Island of Dawn dailies. I suggest opening a few boxes since you'll have none first before spending 300 tokens per glyph.
The crystals can be bought with credits, 400 for armor and weapon, 600 for accessories. You can get the accessory crystals (Vrysks) if you complete the story quest and 20 Vanguard Quests. To buy the Cyrstal justt go to Highwatch, Trading Post or Island of Dawn/North Docks and find the reputation shops and look at the Crystal Merchant.
Things you should know for future changes:
-Sorcerer is the first class to receive a revamp in the future
-We'll be getting a patch July. Info-> Link 1
-Korea will soon get a 30 man raid, another dungeon, and a new female only class
-There will be some UI changes in the future to make things simpler
-Link on future things-> Here
Things you should know currently:
-Vanguard rewards are currently doubled
-Feedstock can drop up to 48 for everyone per boss (not always) until July
-Elite now has Triple Charms and Nostrum+Onslaught scrolls added to Elite Bar
-Tera Rewards system was added, there are tiered shops and you get Points to advance tiers buy spending EMP, being Elite, and completing Vanguards that reward it-> Link 1 and Link 2
If there is any other question feel free to ask.
I see, is there any other relevant skill that got some sort of boost, to compensate the AB nerf ? like Burst of Fire ?
I completely understand that a company's decisions, can't keep everyone feeling positive about their product, but i am not a huge fan of how BHS managing TERA to say the least ...
I played the old Kelsaik 20 man, it was such a great challenge, but overall i belive that the game was more stable/optimize at that period of time in comparison to what we have now, also we didn't have many Flashy Classes or Ultimate skills, so really not feeling positive about this new 30 man thingy ^^'
Also, another female only ? (some speculation talking about an Elin Witch) i don't think they actually care anymore ... are Koreans fine with this gender locking stuff ?
This is great addition, will help save some coins at end-game, and improve leveling experience.
Any idea how this points are calculated ?
Thank you guys very much for your answers.
They said they're aware the quality has degraded after all these expansions, so hopefully they do something. Korea got a new publisher, Nexon, and Nexon seems to be helping BHS more than the previous publisher.
The race hasn't been confirmed last I checked, only the gender. The Koreans are complaining though, they were fine with it until Brawler from what I understand.
You were given a starting Point and Credit count based on Elite Status months, Level 65s you had, whether you were Founder or not and the amount of EMP you spent. Although from the date released onward 1 EMP=1 Point and 10 EMP=1 Credit. A month of Elite is 1,500 Points and 150 Credits. In-game there are vanguards that reward them at varying amounts. Although, they don't reward the amount displayed, it's half what it displays due to a visual bug. For information on the transition and rewards in general-> Here
You're welcome~
btw welcome back.
My choice of Gunner was never because it was OP, i did mention on first post that i played every class (except Mystic), i even mained Archer when Reaper was a thing ... I am just worried about the class i enjoyed the most, and more worried about what seems to be continuous nerfs of a core element, of a class that doesn't have many relevant skills. (PvE speaking)
Reaper, didn't go through this much negative changes, in fact with Gunner release they started getting their buffs up, and according to the links above they are still getting buffed more and more, i have no comments about Brawlers & Ninja, you guys have better view on those two ... but when you log to the game after a while, and get comment like "Gunners are irrelevant now", or "they got nerfed to the ground" and such, you feel a bit salty about it.
Thank you : >
Goody. That's why I added that over time it seems all classes will have their ups and downs. I have 65's of all classes, but only a few are geared(my gunner is currently on schisma. >.<). In my case I like all classes. Some more than others, so I really have a hard time choosing what to 'main'. Currently maining a ninja, but not because of being the FOTM. I'll most likely keep maining it through numerous nerfs, and even I agree it needs a massive nerf to dps. I'm also practicing Slayer, Warrior and Sorc because I want to be better at those classes too. And I used to main a zerker from when Tera was pay to play (and at a time when zerkers were extremely underpowered
