A YouTube user asked if I could write a summary of all the things you need to do in Tera after you hit max level 65. So I took some time to write up a mini guide. This topic is on my list of Tera video tutorials to create but until then everyone can checkout this guide I created below. If you have been playing Tera for a while and see I missed something please feel free to add to this mini guide by replying below.

What To Do After I Hit Level 65 in Tera? aka I’m Level 65, Now What?

* Be sure to fully complete the level 60+65 story quest and at least 1 Sabex Armory dungeon run by the time you hit level 65.
– Why do this? After completing the above tasks you will receive a full level 65 starter gear set in the mail called “Idoneal”. Idoneal gear is pretty decent and good to have until you are able to farm higher level gear.

* Run lvl 61+ “Sabex Armory” & lvl 64+ “Macellarius Catacombs” dungeons 1x per day for Glyph boxes, UNTIL you unlock all of your Glyphs
– Why do this? These 2 dungeons are guaranteed to drop several free Glyph boxes 1x/day. Glyphs enhance your skill abilities (hit harder in PvP,/PvE, reduce cooldowns, enhance healing, etc).

* From level 60+ always do Vanguard Initiative dailies, every day. Never stop.
– Why do this? After completing each Vanguard Initiative daily, you receive “Vanguard Initiative Credits”. Vanguard Initiative Credits are used to purchase endgame crystals aka “Niveots” for PvE and PvP. They are also used to purchase “Masterwork Alkahest Boxes”. Niveots and Masterwork Alkahest boxes are tradable so besides using the items for yourself you can also sell them on the trade broker. You will also receive feedstock for completing most dailies. Feedstock is very important material you will need for higher end gear no matter if you are PvP or PvE.

* Join a guild. If you are not already part of a guild join one of the placeholder “Enlightened Union” guilds. You auto-join them.
– Why do this? Being part of one of the Enlightened Union guilds or a guild that is part of the Enlightened Union Alliance gives you a permanent buff that increases your Vanguard Initiative (also PvP battleground) credits by 5%. 5% might not be much but it does add up and is worth it.

* Buy all the proper endgame PvE and/or PvP Niveots / Vysks from the Vanguard Initiative vendor.
– Why do this? People forming PvE dungeon and PvP battleground parties will only allow you to join if you have the proper crystal setup. If not you will be bringing down the effectiveness of their group (not enough dps, not enough healing, not enough tank aggro).

_____Proper PvE crystal setup for Dungeons_____
–DPS–
Weapon: Bitter, Savage, Focused, and Carving/Pounding/Forceful
Chest: Fine Hardy Niveot x4
Earrings / Rings: Carving or Powerful Vyrsks x4

–TANK—
Weapon: Fine Threatening Niveot x4 (Can sub 1 Threatening for a Fine Focused)
Chest: Chest: Fine Hardy Niveot x4
Earrings / Rings: Threatening Vyrsk x4

— HEALER –
Weapon: Fine Swift Niveot, Fine Brilliant Niveot x3 (Can sub 1 Brilliant for a Fine Carving)
Chest: Chest: Fine Hardy Niveot x4 (Can sub 1 Hardy for a Fine Fleetfoot)
Earrings / Rings: Succoring Vysrk x4

_____Proper PvP crystal setup for Battlegrounds_____
— DPS —
Weapon: Savage, Forceful and 2 of the following Carving/Swift/Brutal/Cruel
Chest: Fine Relentless Niveot x4
Earrings / Rings Pristine Griefing Zyrkx4 (buying these from the trade broker is the fastest/easiest way to get these)

— HEALER —
Weapon: Fine Swift Niveot, Fine Brilliant Niveot x3 (Can sub 1 Brilliant for a Fine Carving)
Chest: Fine Relentless Niveot x4 (Can sub 1 Relentless for a Fine Fleetfoot)
Earrings / Rings: Grounding, Swift Vysrk or Succoring x4 (Grounding if you are having trouble staying alive, Swift to get off your heal animations faster, Succoring to increase healing)

— DPS for CHAMPIONS SKYRING which does not allow charms or pots –
Weapon: Fine Salivating Niveot x1 (Replenishes mana)
Chest: Fine Grieving Niveot x1 (Replenishes mana)
** If you are a Healer and have mana problems use the same Niveots above

* Run the Alliance Vault as many times as you can per day. Solo vault has a 2 hour cooldown. 5 man vault does not have any cooldown but you must have a to enter each time. You can stop running Alliance Vault once you have all of your jewelry, Brooch and Renegade belt.
– Why do this? Solo & 5-man Alliance Vaults drop level 65 rings and earrings (Idoneal rings/earrings are level 64). You need these level 65 rings and earrings to equip level 65 jewlery crystals aka “Vyrsk”. These vaults also drop Renegade belts and Brooches (more gear to increase your stats)

* Run the Dungeon Ravenous Gorge 4x/day. Does not matter if you are PvE or PvP.
– Why do this? Running this dungeon will not only give you Vanguard Initiative credits for each completed pass but that is not the most important reason to run this dungeon. You will receive feedstock during the run and feedstock as a Vanguard Initiative reward daily quest reward. This is the primary method I farm feedstock.

* Once you get all of the Niveots you need from the Vanguard Initiative vendor, keep on accumulating credits. But be aware that it caps at 9,000. So when you hit around 8,500 credits I recommend buying some extra Niveots and/or Master Alkahest Boxes and sell them on the broker. Use the gold you earn to purchase Master Enigmatic Scrolls or Blessed Enigmatic Scrolls. But don’t go too crazy, you will need the credits to buy lots and lots of Masterwork Alkahest boxes.

*-*-*-*- What are Masterwork Alkahest, Feedstock and Master/Blessed Enigmatic scrolls so important??? *-*-*-*-
When getting endgame PvE/PvP gear or the tier right below it, you are going to want to “enchant” it. Enchanting your gear brings out more stats and also raises the stats, so you hit your skills harder and are tougher to kill. But to enchant your gear you will need Masterwork Alkahest, Feedstock and Master/Blessed Enigmatic scrolls.
