Levels 43-48 | Raising in experience by completing quests TERA Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Areas to visit : Tempest Reach, Mount Tyrannas, Citadel of Torment, Frost Reach, Quarantine Zone, Arachnea, Feral Valley and Temple of Dagon
At this stage, you will visit quite a lot of interesting locations and there will be two instances unlocked for you, but more about this later. The first two of the mentioned locations are no different from the places that you have already visited - there is a lot of running around, slaying mobs and completing dozens of quests involved. There also are no difficult enemies here, when it comes to the regular mobs, at least.
From now on, you should also watch out for BAMs because they are quite a jump, when it comes to the challenge that they pose - all of the BAMs are stronger, tougher and they have new, even more unpredictable attacks. You need to start paying attention to their attack patterns - if you learn them, you will find out that fighting BAMs is often easier than fighting the regular mobs, because you can dodge most of their attacks. For defeating them, you are rewarded with an absurd amount of experience points, when compared to the regular opponents.
Citadel of Torment is another multistory location. Completing of quests is quick, easy and pleasurable there, because the location is quite small and overflowing with monsters - you should be able to deal with monsters there really quickly.
The next two locations (Frost Reach and Quarantine Zone) do not stand out with anything special again. Arachnaea (located in the Quarantine Zone) is another multistory location that is overflowing with monsters. You should experience no difficulties here, when it comes to the regular mobs, but the BAMs are very strong here, which is why I recommend that you find someone to help you while completing quests connected with them.
Things are similar with the Feral Valley and the Temple of Dagon there - there is nothing serious here, regular mobs should not pose any threat to you and, when it comes to the BAMs, you would have already learned attack patterns of most.
At level 48, you will unlock two new instances: Golden Labyrinth and Akasha's Hideout. At this experience level, however, you will have no quests there, so withhold with paying a visit there, until your level reaches 50. Remember that you should first go to the Golden Labyrinth, because you need to item that drops there ( a potion) to fight at the Akasha's Hideout comfortably (there are several potions dropping out of each boss in GL) - although you can, of course, fight without them, but you are up for an ordeal with a curse on your character then, which will lower your statistics. Completing these instances at large scale, just to get experience, is a bad idea, because this is a slow process there - it is much more effective to complete quests. Go to both of them, once per each is the best idea, to see them. Then, you can forget all about them. After you reach level 48, skip to the next chapter in this guide.
