Why is the attack speed on axes so slow? 120 for dual swords, 110 for greatsword, and 90 for the axe. Do barely more damage than an equivalent greatsword. 100 seems like it would have been a bit better.

So I've been questing in this desert where it seems nobody is playing in. Maybe I'll run across a person once in a while but overall it's empty. Got lucky the day before when I ran into a person who also needed to knock down a few bam quests. Yesterday I had some new bam quests to do but literally no one was around. I had "looking for group" up for a good hour and nothing.

Moving up the quest chain with the mobs I could kill I finally found a lancer in the middle of nowhere who was kind enough to group. That Vulcan mob was taking a long time between the two of us but manageable when out of the corner of my screen I see mobs going down but can't see who is doing it. I was thinking that if I can see them I might invite them to the group since they might have to do the same quest. A minute later I see why i couldn't see them: it was two Elins who were a third of the size of the mobs! Not only that, they were guildies! First time I've seen more than one guild member in the wild.

Hawaii and Rare accepted the party invites and we got that quest and two others done as a group.Had a great time. First time to use the party summon skill too.

I really disliked that area because no one was around to do quests and because it was my second time through there. I'm lucky that Wallach helped me quest through there so I could skip a lot of the quests and rush to do Cultist's Refuge.

Really wish I rolled on Dragonfall. It seems like the guild there is fairly active and I'm getting kind of sick of PVP crap. I kind of wish there was a toggle that would make me PVP invul or something, because on the nights that I just want to quest I don't want to have to deal with randoms trying to kill me.

Not according to the lore. The Elins are nature spirits created by the goddess Elinu in her image. Later on, the Elins awoke the Popori from forest animals using their cute magic to be their eternal servants playthings sex toys bitches.

Yesterday I was trying to use the matching system for an instance and when I got the party invite it would not port me and cancel my party matching, having to go on queue again.

It looks like EME is implementing a modified GvG system for the Vanarchy Campaign until Battlegrounds are ready. I am going to assume that this is only for PVP servers but who knows...

Quote:
TERA’s political system is one of the features we’re most excited about, and it’s a part of the game we’ve spent a lot of time refining. With our second round of vanarch candidates stepping up to serve their servers, we thought we’d take some time to talk about some upcoming changes to this already popular aspect of gameplay.

As originally conceived, a player seeking vanarch status had two paths to the office—campaigning and conquest—with the latter requiring candidates and their guilds to distinguish themselves through battleground play. While revisions to the battlegrounds aren’t quite ready, we are happy to announce that we’ve found a way to put the fight back in political infighting!

In the revised system, candidates will select a continent as usual, but they will also select a competition type. If they choose a straight election, they’ll rank their preferred provinces and then begin campaigning for votes. If they choose to fight for the right to rule, they’ll rank their provinces, and then their guild enters a modified guild-versus-guild (GvG) PvP battle with all other candidates’ guilds on that continent.

When the competition phase begins, all members of other eligible guilds become targets. But instead of a normal 24-hour fight, vanarch GvG is a weeklong affair. We’ve set some limitations: only kills scored on characters level 40 and up count, and there’s a cap on the points your guild can earn from a single guild’s members per day. Vanarch GvG doesn’t replace normal GvG battles (those are still declared and resolved as usual), and even though you earn no points for lower-level characters in rival guilds, they’re still on the hit list.

Vanarch GvG tracks progress the same way as voting races. Players in candidate guilds can check their current vanarch GvG points but not those of other competitors. At the end of the competition, the guilds with the most points on each continent get provinces to rule, with ties resolved by the first guild to reach the point total.

In each election cycle, several provinces per continent (Southern Arun, Southern Shara, Northern Shara) will be eligible for vanarch GvG. Those provinces will not be eligible for voting purposes, so dust off your weapons and get ready to fight!

Okay. I'm now lvl 60. What should I be doing? Getting gear in FoK and BT runs? Should I be doing ToT as well? Unfortunately, I didnt save my money till 60. Whats a good way to make money? Is it possible to grind up enough money for a 7k enigmatic tier 12 weap in a few days? Or will this take weeks? Any end game tips will be much appreciated. Thanks.

You can farm up 7k gold in a day or two just killing a million trash mobs but you will hate yourself every moment you do it. Just from farming certain mobs you can make 400-500 gold an hour, plus whatever money you make selling trash drops to vendors and the few good fodder drops on the broker. Slayers and zerkers farm the fastest, healer classes the slowest. Sorcs can do a pretty good job if they can make the mobs hold still, archers if they can make the mobs line up. Lancers farm the slowest but they should be farming dungeons non-stop for gear to sell anyways, not farming trash mobs in the open world like the inferior classes of this game.

There are a few good spots, you just go there with a nearly-empty inventory and change to a channel where someone else isn't already farming and kill the mobs for hours on end. Have fun! You are now a Korean, except you don't get multiple channels of professional Starcraft on your TV 24/7 like a real Korean!

They were originally created by the goddess. How they procreated after that is a mystery.

They lay eggs.

Some quests gave me the impression that some did... errr "do" Elin.

And they aren't immortal. The have a "normal" lifespan like other species.

Well, I think I'd say we are going to back off before we actually get tired of it. No sense in sticking around for now when it's so clear to see what's coming.

The game is gorgeous, the combat is awesome and leveling was a blast bouncing between open world questing with BAMs and dungeon runs. Hopefully they move on getting more content through the pipeline so that hitting level cap does not feel like such a brick wall ending to a very fun ride.

I've been too busy recently to play actively and last I knew the guild was chalk full, so, if there is a waiting list by all means don't hesitate to remove myself (St. Tristram).

When I get back into the swing of things i'll find a way to weasel back in

While in game, press the select button to bring up the controller options. From here you are able to reassign all of your controller buttons including the chain skill hot key. (Default is Square button)
I recommend that you familiarise yourself with this menu because you will need it to get the most out of playing with a controller.
