Seriously If it wasnt Enchanting, people would be bietching about the RNG in loot drops.

just be happy you cant boom items like most other games.

the ONLY thing i will agree with is they could bring the price down a teeny bit for alk..

as a final note. STOP BUYING CATALYSTS FROM THE AH. The more you keep buying catalysts from the AH the higher prices are gonna get.


people can easily buy t12 gear off the broker, sure the price varies, by maybe 2k or so, depending on server mostly. Enchanting to +9 fluctuates by about 10k+, it's a big gap. If people do the math they can buy certain parts of t13 enig gear with the money they would have spent going from +6 to +9. Kind of a funny thought.

I never came here crying about PVE. PVE is cool in this game,

I never came here crying about PVP. PVP is also nice in Tera.

I don't want dungeons dumbed down. I like a challenge.

I don't mind wiping. I wiped a lot and I succedeed nonetheless.

Heck, I don't even mind getting kicked from dungeons because: ''Hey, you don't have +9 on your gear''.

OK ... I will go get +9 then and then come back.

But the problem is: CAN I GET that +9? I can't even get +8. I know some players and some friends of mine on the edge of their frustration because they can't even get +7. Yes, you heard me right. +7 not +9 or +12.

You see my point?

p.s. To the rest of the trolls out there ... I don't really give a damn about your ''personal opinions'' which you confuse them with ''facts''. But after you will spend 25k gold trying to get 1 enchant that keeps failing you will probably give a damn about my thread.

You want to quit because of something like enchanting? I can understand the filth that's in the chat channels, unresponsive GM's,billing problems, Eme and their random removal of stuff in the game but enchanting...

.... enchanting....? the hell?

Hello Bluehole! Hello Tera players!

Just wanted to tell you that I will not re-subscribe after the first free month due to the stupid enchanting system this game promotes.

I am really sorry to say this, and somehow I feel ashamed of myself, but this enchanting system has actually turned me into a korean grinder that literally spends 10 hours + / day (when I have the necessary time) in order to get gold so I can get my gear enchanted.

Currently I am trying to get my weapon from +7 to +8 and I am soon starting to close in 25k+ gold wasted so far in the process. And I still didn't get +8 yet.

Everytime I am broke .. Everytime I get around 800-900 gold out of grinding I get myself a new gold weapon from AH, the required green alkahest and I start the enchanting praying I will not hear the failing sound again.

But this is absolutely too much for me. I actually can't stand this anymore, I am not having ANY MORE FUN in this game due to this enchantment [filtered]. I am actually really frustrated about it and this will probably be the main reason I am going to quit this game if the enchantment system doesn't get changed.

/rant off


Sorry but this post contains QQ on enchant and goodbye, so you making this post means
that you want to come back because 'Goodbye' posts = Perma ban..

It's pretty apparent you don't have +9 because you're a noob who doesn't know how to put items in a window and press enchant the correct way.

I'm really getting tired of this. Enchanting is a part of progress. It's not meant to be easy or simple. Pathetic.


You're a retard.

I understand the frustration however, you are spending FAR too much money trying to enchant this gear. I also know you do not want to hear this. I am a gambling addict and when I tried to go to +7 I spent about 2.5K worth of gold. At this time I realized that the items I was trying to use to enchant my gear was 9 or 10 levels lower then my piece of armor. I also realized at this time that there are higher tiers of armor and weapons that will be added soon. I cannot take the risk of relapsing, so when I feel that gamblers hunger I have to stop.
Do not worry about all the +9 tier 12 crazy people... That gear will soon be replaced with Nexus tier 13s and then PvP tier 13s sadly. The thing that bothers me is there is certainly higher end gear missing from the tier 12 armors and weapons. I have a suspicion that there are gear missing from the higher end +13 tier as well. I cannot say whether this is intentional or not however, I will say that this is slowing us down from progressing at the moment.
SO here is the solution part of my post. Stay in the game please. You obviously have the skill it takes to get drops in the end game environment. This is a positive thing. That limited feeling you have now will be gone when they release more content. I played the heck out of a certain MMO that came out in 2004. That fulfillment you felt when having the PERFECT set of armor didn't come until much later in the games cycle.
1. Save that gold, you will need it to enchant later on in the cycle. Stop at +6 it is good enough!
2. Sell as much gold gear as you can now to make even more gold to save.
3. Level another character, of a different variety. This will give you A LOT of gold and the chance
at better gear opportunity if your main 60 cannot get the gear you need.
4. Good luck with your decision.

This all hinges on which server you are on. Spend some time in the town reading area, trade, and LFG chat to see how far people are progressing. When the majority are doing Hard Modes, the tier 12 gear will be MUCH MUCH cheaper. There is no reason to be first at +9 all tier 13. Unless you need the attention. You can get the same attention by helping other people though. Come join us on Jagged Coast PvP if you want. On this server the majority are almost 60 and when they get there, the HUGE amount of 60s we already have will be balanced out. Tier 13s are already all over the AH and tier 12 prices are falling. This is Great news. If you come to Jagged Coast, try out Massacre. We are like a family and we do not impose rules or duties on other players besides being respectful to others, haha Most of the time.

Myxx your comparison is not a good one.

You can run the same runs in Tera for 10 weeks and never see that piece of armor you want.

But at least in WOW you could have that enchant done.

I don't want FREE enchants. Don't get me wrong.

I never said that.

But I would like at least something that might make my farming worth it's while.

You do actually realise that with this enchanting system some players could probably NEVER enchant their gear past a specific point?!

Hell, even swtor and it's crappy RNG bag system (which was a bad system nonetheless) had a 20 % chance (at least stated by the devs).


If you can run a dungeon for ten weeks straight without seeing your t12, I will personally hand over my account and computer to you.

You do realize with the current drop system, some people could NEVER seen gear past a specific instance?

If all you had to do was farm, there would be a couple of negative results. One, it would potentially be more boring to people. Two, it could potentially mean that players with little access to time to farming for mats could take so long to get to +9 and beyond that the next weapon tier would be out (which is possible now, however they are more likely to get to +9 with the current system than with a system that would have to make up for the payments for enchanting.) Three, it's a different kind of RNG, just one that you're already accustomed to. What if you don't get nearly as good of drop rates as that other guy?! Not fair!

RNG is RNG. It's everywhere in an MMO. It's one of the driving forces behind all MMOs, except in this case, you have the gear (whereas in other games you RNG FOR the gear), you just need to RNG the enchantment system to get it better.


pass me your stuff bro. because ive run balders and hms so many times is sickening that i personally have not seen Dayslayer drop. I had to buy mine off the broker for 6k. the only bigger insult is how bad the enchanting system is.

dont play the "you want it easy" card on people, theres nothing hard about grinding gold. its just bad game design. and its turning people off to the game. after my spending spree this weekend and still not at +9, im starting to rethink if my love of the combat system can overcome enchanting, bad nexus, crappy instance droprates, LFD wait times, and no real incentive to continue bam soloing.

normal people dont want easymode, we just want to show something for our time. theres a huge difference between running dungeons where gear actually drops and someone gets useable BOP items most runs (too many tera runs drop nothing but garbage) and grinding brainlessly just to fail the enchant and piss away all that time.

defined goals keep players around. TOO MUCH rng loses subs. gaming history.
