At the heard of a great TERA experience is a good dungeon run. With all the action – packed into a game like TERA, their dungeons are no less exciting. The best part about these new and improved dungeons is the lewt!
TERA’s new instance dungeon matcher system helps you to find the right classes or characters such as a healer, tanker, or DPS character to give you that complete team. No more spamming the chat channels to find your party only to find you’ve recruited all the same type of classes. Also the rewards in these new dungeons have been doubled and tripled. As the official site mentions
Do your part, and you might be the proud owner of a Raiment of Nezrakul, Cauterus Axe, or Skysplitter’s Bow.

For all those who don’t know, every CBT has a contest of some sort that is going on. They want you to be creative!
Be creative, be smart, or be lucky in one of three contest series being held during our final three closed beta tests. Capture footage, design infographics, cut videos, or simply play your characters to the level cap for a chance to score prizes from Logitech and En Masse Entertainment!
For CBT 5, they want you to answer the question: “what is TERA?” through a narrative machinima video.
Do this and you might just win some Logitech goodies! Here are the submissions details and rules.
So if you are looking to get ahead with Tera information, I would recommend you to take a look at this compilation of Tera leveling strategies.
Yet another beautiful Tera Gameplay video showing all the classes. This game is starting to shape up to be quite the mmorpg with a true and unique combat system. More in-depth guide to Tera classes here.
Here’s some preliminary info on Tera and some Tera strategies. Just came across this amazing walkthrough video made by Zach Sharpes. He shows a full walkthrough of one of the first dungeons in Tera Online called Bastion Of Lok, a level 20 dungeon which requires the holy grouping trinity. The whole dungeon will take about 45 minutes to 1.5 hours varying on your group capabilities.
The fourth Tera closed beta is starting this Friday! They will be deploying a new patch which will be available on March 21 at 3:00 PM PDT for 2 hours. During this time, Tera gamers will not be able to patch and they also state that this isn’t a long term solution and are working on methods to make this easier for future patch updates. Once the patch is succesfull, the game will be open to download the 9 MB patch updated.
Tera CBT4 Details (this weekend)
Read more on the patch notes for Tera CBT4. I’ve also found some players sharing their Tera strategies in the closed beta.
Regal Frostlion
A mount exclusively available for all those pre-ordering the Collectors Edition of Tera Online. News on the web is that this mount will no longer be available after the games release on May 1, 2012.
White Stallion
Again, the White Stallion Mount is only available via pre-ordering any edition of Tera Online. Same as the Regal Frostlion, the mount will only be available from now till the games release date.
To summarize, if you want any of these 2 mounts, go and pre-order your Tera Online game now. I’m sure there are more mounts that can be found in the game, but these 2 mounts are only available for people who pre-order. Here’s a full reference to Tera Mounts that might be interesting.
