Levels 1-20 | Raising in experience by completing quests TERA Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Areas to visit: Island of Dawn, Fey Forest, a part of the Oblivion Woods and the Valley of Titans.
This stage is easy, due to the fact that the enemies that you encounter pose no threat at all. To all intents and purposes, this is a kind of tutorial, where you learn about the mechanics of the game - levels fly by quickly and with a sleight of hand.
For the first several levels, simply complete the quests that you receive (follow the storyline until you reach a side-quest). Around the 10th experience level, you are up for your first boss battle with Karascha. He is an easy enemy to beat (although he has a lot of health points, especially in comparison with the enemies that you have so far dealt with) - an additional facilitation is the allied mercenary who will be healing you during the fight.
Shortly after your first boss battle, you will make it into one of the three capital cities I the game - Veliki. Get to know the city, because this is not the last time that you visit it, and go to Lumbertown (in the Arcadia district) - this is where you will receive your first mount (a steed, simply put), thanks to which you will be able to move around much faster (unfortunately, you cannot use it while in fight and in rooms). After you complete the quests in Fey Forest (which is located in Lumbertown), travel to the Oblivion Woods.
Here, apart from different scenery, you are up for the same thing as in the previous area, i.e. completing quests and elimination of easy mobs. In the upper-right corner of the Oblivion Woods, in the Bestial Vale, there are the first BAMs in the game - do not go there, though, because you do not stand a chance, at your current level. After you complete all of the quests (and especially the storyline quests), travel to the Valley of Titans and complete quests there (and also admire the sights). After you attain level 20, jump to the next chapter of this guide.
