Forum user Obba posted a video on the official forums and some tips for Balder Temple HM. We found that this video was pretty helpful that we wanted to share it with all of our readers. Here are his tips:

• 1st Boss, you need to be closer than 8m ALL THE TIME. Or you’ll die with random coconut throws like hour poor healer did T-T. So for long ranges, keep closer to the mob.
• 2nd Boss(Green Kumas), nothing special. Just dodge the trees. Only one thing to aware of is when he uses blue firebreath. If hes using the firebreath, everyone use their stun/sleep. If you fail, hes gonna jump backward. And it goes through lancers block. They could die even with t12 +9.
• 2nd Boss(Red Kumas), same. nothing special. 2 things to aware of. If msg comes out saying kumas gathering power blah blah. Everyone use stun/sleep. If you fail, kumas gets electric on his head. Then EVERYONE falls far back. Thats when the random targetting attack starts. Lancer stays and block tho. nothing to worry about for lancer.
• 3rd Boss(Blue Kumas), Just need to dodge balls. Once you get locked, go into the middle and start walking towards any poles. If it locks on kumas, run towards opposite side where the kumas is. For emitter(Under 30%), dps and healer can stay near the middle and find the spot to dodge. Lancer tank at where i put the campfire.
• Last Boss, nothing special. starts timer at 35%. Make sure lancer’s armor break goes in atleast once before the cannon. And DO NOT DIE!! If laser locks on you, get closer than 10m. Then just walk sideway. No need to jump or anything unless you are further than 10m.

TERA has created a place where you can track polls across all servers. If you’re not in-game, but trying to figure out who to vote for, it’s a great place to browse through all of the candidates and read their statements.

Hey guys,

We know there’s a lack of rare crystals and are working on a couple of solutions to get them into the game in the near future. I don’t want to go into specifics until we finalize exactly what we’re doing and get the build in house to test, but expect to hear more on this in the very near future (1-2 weeks max).

Thanks,

For masterwork items, when you seal and unseal an item you have a chance to either get a 1%, 2% or 3% attribute bonus. This is why ya’ll are seeing differences in the base stats and attributes.

When we were digging into this more, we found that some weapons don’t have a 1% bonus, but instead only do 2% or 3%. We’ve started tracking this as a bug and BHS is looking into it now.

Thanks,

Interesting topic of conversation started up on the official forums about why there were so few Lancers in the game. The author posted a animated gif of a Hyena jumping through a lancer’s shield to end up on the other side of him while the lancer moves back and forth trying to get a hit in. This was the author’s reason why his Lancer leveled so slowly. However this led to more of a general hatred for Hyenas!

As a lancer that soloed 90%+ of my way to 60 I do have to say there isn’t a single mob that I hate more than those f***ing hyenas. I’ve got a sorcerer alt that I’m thinking of using to do nothing but blow up hyenas as she levels up.

Other points came up from leveling times and dps numbers for leveling purposes. However, we agreed with the first derail of the thread: we hate Hyenas to! What NPCs do you hate the most or are you such a badass that it doesn’t matter!

Let us know in the comments.

An interesting idea surfaced on the official forums today regarding Bounty Boards. Poster Guide created this argument for people to mull over:

This is a suggestion that would be fun if possible to implement. I would like to see a system of bounty boards put into the game were those with a high amount of infamy could be listed and hunted. Boards could give info about the locations of these players. Of course rewards would be needed for this to be a little more enticing to players i do not know what those should be.

As with the rewards for hunting those with high infamy those being hunted would need a reason to not be the hunter. So for every kill they get when fighting the bounty hunters give them some sort of reward. Those being hunted should not be able to stay in safe zones for to long.

What do you think about this idea? Creating a way to discourage outlaws and also putting more depth behind the system. It gives anti-PK type players a goal or targets to go after while giving those who love being Outlaws a way to actually measure their public image: the bigger the bounty the better!

Personally, I think this would be a fantastic idea, and give players another type of “end-game” content to do on, at the very least, PVP servers. What do you think? Are there ways this could be abused? The only hiccup in this type of system would be that it would be difficult to implement on PVE servers unless you create pvp-specific areas.
