Patch 86 arrives on our servers on 15th October! In the hotly anticipated Exodor update, you can discover new zones, make a name for yourself with unknown factions, and much more. We already gave you an overview last week in our preview – and today you can read up on all the details in the patch notes.
Can hardly wait and want to see the patch right away? Then take a look at the recording of our English-language Twitch stream.

The Island of Exodor

You’ll be able to explore the new continent floating high above the clouds immediately.

Entry Conditions

• The quest “Off to Exodor” (level 68) will take you to the island. It is available with patch 86
  • You must previously have completed the quest “The Secret Weapon” (level 67)

It isn’t absolutely necessary to enter the island with complete Stormcry Gear. However, this is highly advisable in order to survive the challenges there..

Zones

The following four large areas are new:

• Rogash’s Manor
• Exodor Plantation
• Viridian Mire
• Berak Fortress

In addition, there are various other small islands floating around Exodor.

  • TERA Club members cannot teleport to the island with the Village Atlas
  • TERA Club members can place some teleport points on the island using the Travel Journal
• Azart Miracle Potion
  • With the Azart Miracle Potion, you can use special platforms to reach the smaller islands from the four main islands. You’re free to use as many platforms as you like during its 10-minute effect duration.
  • The Miracle Potion can be obtained through quests and from reputation shops
  • TERA Club members will receive 2 bottles of Azart Miracle Potion in their Club Supplies.

New Stats

New Stats

The new gear has a brand-new set of stats to strengthen your character:

• Physical Support
  • Adds a set amount of physical damage to your damage
• Magical Support
  • Adds a set amount of magical damage to your damage
• Physical Resistance
  • Reduces the physical damage you receive
• Magical Resistance
  • Reduces the magical damage you receive
• Physical Critical Damage
  • Increases the damage of your physical critical hits
• Magical Critical Damage
  • Increases the damage of your magical critical hits

Class skills are now affected by the new physical or magical stats. You can find which stats have the greatest influence in the description of the skill.
The healing abilities of priests and mystics are also affected by magical support and magical critical damage.

New Gear

On Exodor, you can collect new gear for characters level 68 or higher that’ll grant you the new stats.

Rarity & Type

The new pieces of equipment (weapon, chest armor, gloves, shoes) come in both magical and physical versions. There are three different sets:

	Physical Support	Magical Support
Uncommon	Master Dranium Gear	Luminous Dranium Gear
Rare	Heroic Azart Gear	Magical Azart Gear
Legendary	Destruction Gear	Eclipse Gear

The items found in the world are tradeable, so you can simply trade or sell the gear you find if it doesn’t suit your character.

Possible Stats

Each piece of gear can grant several random stats, depending on their type and rarity. These stats can also vary in strength. The following random attributes are possible:

Weapons	Armor	Gloves	Shoes
Physical Support	Physical Support	Physical Support	Physical Support
Magical Support	Magical Support	Magical Support	Magical Support
Physical Resistance	Physical Resistance	Physical Resistance	Physical Resistance
Magical Resistance	Magical Resistance	Magical Resistance	Magical Resistance
Physical Critical Damage	Max. HP	Physical Critical Damage	Max. HP
Magical Critical Damage	Max. MP	Magical Critical Damage	Max. MP
Crit Factor	MP regeneration every 5 sec.	Crit Factor	MP regeneration every 5 sec.

Furthermore, you can continue to add etchings to your items and add additional stats via equipment merging.
You do not need to collect any item XP for the new gear. However, crystals and dual effects can no longer be used for them.

Additional Information from the Development Team

The new equipment sets are intended as alternatives to existing gear, not as direct replacements. These items are not necessarily stronger than current sets, but they should offer you greater variety with new stats and reduced complexity.
Here is a comparison of the existing and new gear when they have been enchanted:

New Gear	Existing Gear
Uncommon +0	Like Stormcry +0
Uncommon +10	Like Stormcry +7
Rare +0	Like Stormcry +6
Rare +10	Better than Heroic Oath +3
Legendary +0	Like Heroic Oath +0
Legendary +10	Better than Heroic Oath +3

Additionally, there are plans for creating mythical gear in the future by combining Heroic Oath gear and the new legendary gear. The crafting (or upgrading) of Heroic Oath gear and the collection of the new legendary gear is therefore time well spent!

Enchanting

The new gear is enchanted in a new way to old gear: instead of requiring lots of different materials, you only need two different material types. Additionally, the gear can be damaged similarly to the current PvP sets, but it can never be destroyed.

Enchantment Level	Possible Results	Items Required (for the Weapon)
0 > 6	No change / Enchantment +1	Dark Shard Weapon Feedstock / Gold
6 > 10	No change / Enchantment +1 / Damage	Dark Shard Weapon Feedstock / Gold
10 > 15	No change / Enchantment +1 / Damage enchantment -1	Dark Shard Weapon Feedstock / Magical Dark Shard Weapon Feedstock / Gold

The same system applies for armor, gloves, and shoes. However, instead of the weapon feedstock, these armor parts require the corresponding armor feedstock.
With the new gear, there is no additional chance of success following failed attempts. The chance is also not shown in the game.

Repair

You will not lose your gear via enchantment. If an item is damaged, do not worry: you can continue to use it in battle without any disadvantages.
A damaged item just cannot be enchanted anymore – you have to repair it first. This can also be done in the Enchantment window. This requires the following items:

Gear Rarity	Possible Results	Items Required (for the Weapon)
Uncommon (green)	Success (repaired)	Dranium Repair Piece / Gold
Rare (blue)	Success (repaired)	Dranium Processing Stone / Gold
Legendary (gold)	Success (repaired)	Pure Dranium Processing Stone / Gold

The repair is guaranteed to be successful, so you don’t have to worry about failures.

Item Sources

You can obtain the items for enchantment in various ways:

• Killing monsters in Exodor
  • Dark Shard Weapon Feedstock
  • Dark Shard Armor Feedstock
• In the Berak Fortress Secret Zone
  • Magical Dark Shard Weapon Feedstock
  • Magical Dark Shard Armor Feedstock
• Condensation methods
  • Condensation method for Sharp Dark Shards (combination of Dark Shard Weapon Feedstock in to Magical Dark Shard Weapon Feedstock)
  • Condensation method for Solid Dark Shards (combination of Dark Shard Armor Feedstock in to Magical Dark Shard Armor Feedstock)
• Reputation merchants
  • Dark Shard Weapon Feedstock
  • Dark Shard Armor Feedstock

Extraction

You can get a variety of items via the extraction of equipment items, such as repair items for damaged gear:

• Dranium Repair Piece
• Dranium Processing Stone
• Pure Dranium Processing Stone
• Equipment Dust (to sell for gold)
  Extracting also allows you to get back some of the items you invested when enchanting an item.

Card Album

Starting with patch 86, you can collect card fragments from many game contents, which you can then add to your album (in instances as group loot). The card album is for all of your characters on a server.
Once you have collected enough card fragments of one type, you can complete the corresponding entry in your album and activate the card from then on.
Depending on their type and rarity, cards can have various different effects. You can activate and deactivate them at your discretion, and the more complete entries you have, the more cards you can activate simultaneously.
Combine cards in predefined sets to take advantage of additional bonuses!

Fishing

Around the Darkcore on the floating island, there are lots of fishponds where you can catch new fish from patch 86 onwards! The well-known fishponds are marked on the map, while the hidden areas can only be discovered by resourceful anglers:

Well-known fishponds	Hidden areas
Azart Farm	Exodor Plantation
Sky Garden Fishing Island	Fantasy Garden
Fairy Pond Fishing Island	Predator Territory
Cloud Lake Island
Viridian Fishing Island
Berak Fishing Island

Fish Bait

The strange fish on Exodor cannot be caught with regular bait. For your fishing trip to be successful, you’ll need a special bait, available from the Exodor Justicar Reputation Merchant.

Crafting

With the fish from Exodor, you can discover new recipes and create tasty new meals to boost your HP, attack speed, and magical or physical support:

• Steamed Invigorating Kirashi
• Steamed Stimulating Kirashi
• [Special] Steamed Invigorating Kirashi
• [Special] Steamed Stimulating Kirashi
  Additionally, with the fish from Exodor, you can create new crates for delivery.

Legendary Weapon Skins

Fancy a special weapon? It’s possible to craft a legendary golden glowing weapon skin by completing the Red Refuge multiple times.
The recipe and materials you need for this can be obtained from the final boss in the Red Refuge. Some of the materials can also be purchased from the wandering merchants.

World Bosses

Please note: The two new world bosses and the Guardian Mission with the Gossamer Regent, which were introduced to the Korean version of the game in patch 86, are currently deactivated in our version of the game due to problems when there are too many active players. This content will be activated again as soon as possible, once the issues have been fixed in a future patch. The following information only refers to the three existing world bosses.

Distribution of Loot

The loot from world bosses is no longer only given to the player who lands the last hit. As of this patch, other players will also receive additional rewards:

• Reward for participating
  • For groups with a very high level of participation in the battle (the damage of the entire group is taken into account)
• Jackpot reward
  • For a randomly selected participating player
