I know you can trade for tera gold here.



But what is it actually worth?
How much is it on the extreme spectrum of decked out complete character cost at level 60 in in-game gold compared to a mediocre character? How much should I be looking to buy in gold here for a characters worth in items?




Please let me know.



I just started playing.

Well.. u need actually a lot gold. you need alkahest and item parts to upgrade ur gear. if u play pvp its better to buy ur gear with gold and + it. because otherwise its very frustrating. without gear u cant do anything. there are also pvp groups. who join with people who have all pvp gear. if u end up fighting against them ull lose without gear and they wont invite you without gear. it took me about 50 hours to farm my weapon±jewelery with ingame points.

to shorten it:
to masterwork 1 item +9-12 u need 50k gold. sometimes more or less.

if u want to buy ur pvp gear 30-40k

second best weapon can be bought at ah for 50k

u can buy shop items for gold. lootpet is need. costs about 7k

u need at least item lvl 152 to start running instances (argon) otherwise ull get kicked because of ilvl... made this exp... so if u start and u really like this game 100k is a good start. to get ilvl to run instances.

i play tera since release. prices depends on the server.

medicore i would say 159 ilvl gear +9 is about 60k gold. if u go 159+12 about 250k. 161+12 400k. its really tough to farm u need really long

Thank you very much for the informative post.




In terms of gold units. What is the gold unit? Does it omit the silver and copper coins and strictly counts just gold coins?

Tomorrow i can write in depth about the game. im at work atm. u have copper silver and gold as currecy. 100 copper = 1 silver, 100 silver =1 gold. i actually dont really know what u exactly mean. hope this what u wanted to know

In terms of decked out chars, if your looking for the end game gear, they are currently called VisionMaker (VM).
They are the best of the best gear in the game. To obtain those(Masterworked and +12) will probably cost around 500-750k in game gold depending on which character your playing.

There is new gear coming out this tuesday, which is actually today in NA server, where you can upgrade ur VM gear to even better stats. So when this patch comes out, price of obtaining the upgraded form of VM will be added on to the 500-750k.
The 500-750k gold is only if u buy everything from scratch and not have earned anything yourself (aka shandra's quills, most expensive ingredient for crafting VM)

BTW: For PVP, depending on the char, SkyRing Bloodrave weapon/gloves are better than VM for pvp.

Going ratio: for NA MT Server (15:1) [MT is most popular server in NA]
15 tera gold = 1 fg
so 500-750k = 33-50k fg

Other unpopular Server
20-25:1

Red, you're going to start playing too?!

The amount of gold needed is really depends on the character and the server/region you play.
In EU, and in US aswell you can gear up healer classes for cheap, but that is not the case for DPS and Tank classes.
You'll need at least 200k gold, a bit of luck and time to gear yourself to pve terms. Pvp is another case, where you need to spend time mostly. The best in game gear is only obtainable during PVE, and is not tradeable.

tl;dr 2-300k gold is needed, and more when you reach top gear to reroll the stats on it.

/This is EU/

Everything changed after the new patch.
VM is super ez and cheap to acquire. The new upgraded VM are just time consuming and requires no gold.
Only way to get decked out chars now is to just simply play or buy an account from someone.

The new PVE VM is easy too, most of us are just waiting on Mark of Bloodshed as their last mat to finish the new VM weapons. Easy way out is to just buy em with gold but they are 70k each at the moment on my server. PVP VM, now that will take some time...
