Levels 20-32 | Leveling-up through grind TERA Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Areas to visit : Oblivion Woods (with the Bastion of Lok instance), Celestial Hills, Cliffs of Insanity, Vale of The Fang.

Go Northwards, to Bestial Vale (the red marker above) and deal with the first group of BAMs that you encounter there (Basilisk). After you kill one of them, you will realize why it is grind that is the superior method for leveling-up in TERA.

At level 20, you will gain access to your first instance (Bastion of Lok), which you should use to gain experience - you can get there through Instance Matchmaking. Use the BoL as often as you can - kill time in-between by dealing with BAMs.

After you reach level 23, travel to Celestial Hills and deal with the two kinds of BAMs here: Kumas and Naga. Both mobs provide the same amount of experience so, the choice of either is restricted to your preference. The entire Celestial Hills literally swarms with these two BAMs so, you should not have any problems finding them.

The next stop (after you reach level 26) is Cliffs of Insanity (in the Poporia province), in the Knoll of Screams (the red marker above). You should find there another kind of BAMs (Fimbrisk), which you should be dealing with, until you reach level 29.

The last two locations in this chapter are Vale of The Fang (travel there after you reach level 29). There are two paths of leveling-up here: through the Sinestral Mannor instance and through elimination of the local BAMs (Ovolith). Try out both options and see for yourself which is more rewarding, in terms of experience. If you are capable of completing the instance solo, or you have an ally with you, who also is bent on time and effectiveness of gaining experience, the Sinestral Mannor may ensure a quick influx of experience. Otherwise, it is better to start eliminating BAMs. After you achieve level 32, skip to the next chapter.
