A beginners guide to TERA

Hello, I'm Josh 'Strife' Hayes, and this is a super simple beginners guide to the action MMORPG 'TERA' on PC.

TIMESTAMPS (super thanks to reddit user 'milkycup' for these)

00:00 - Introduction, information about TERA itself
02:27 - Character creation
02:56 - Tutorial, basics
04:00 - Past tutorial, experience & leveling,
06:23 - Info about quests
07:23 - Vanguard requests
09:42 - Story quests
11:00 - Dungeons
13:38 - Levelling, skill tree, Skill UI,
15:45 - Glyphs
16:50 - Chained skills
18:55 - Weapons
20:08 - Armor, item shop, enigmatics & enchanting
22:44 - Basic enchanting
24:59 - Crystals
27:48 - Travelling, mounts, flying mounts
29:30 - Teleporting to other maps

This video is aimed at the PC version but the Xbox and PS4 players among you should still find some useful info.

This video is designed to give new players the foundation knowledge they will need to level up, and answer a few common questions, it is not aimed at the hardcore endgame players.

Thank you for watching and have a great day x

This guy sounds like he does "safety in the workplace" instructional videos...and I love that.

[jasonbourne]

Probably the most professionally narrated guide I have ever watched - at times I thought I was watching an official tutorial released by the publishers themselves. Very well done!

[pantango]

This is how you do a beginners guide for people that have no idea what they are doing. Very clear and to the point. Great job JSH

[Dragnarok]

Best Tutorial video ever made. Straight to the point. No BS and clear. Thumbs up!

[caiooliveira]

I AM speechless, the best tutorial vídeo ever! I really appreciate!

[sonnam]

You must be very serious and well-knowledgeable about this game, i’ve never seen anything like this, also the first time i’ve not skip any seconds of the video, you have my respect.

[TheAusar]

Big ass monster... That one cracked me up a little. Nice!

[SuttonSantiniPaulo]

You could do an introduction to brain surgery guide and it would make sense because of how well you explain things. Thanks.

[Kazenov]

Good stuff, as always. The only thing I slightly disagree with is throwing unused old armor tokens away -- you can always bank them if you have the space, and use on any alt you might make later for a quicker item progression.

I've never come across a guide to anything as well put together and narrated as this one. Bravo

[horsetheif]

Incredibly well put together. I never once felt lost and fully understood everything explained. Thank you very much for this.

Just started tera today. This guide is still viable. Just getting into mmo's in general and JSH is the best out there for mmo content

[emanuelazanella]

I'm watching all your old vids for the first time, I'm an old old old mmo and rpg player. Not only you inspire me to play more mmos but your voice is pretty relaxing too! And not only for me! My cat Ciabby gets totally ipnotized by your voice, and if you knew the hooligan that she is you'd be glad of that ^^

[denise_r]

This guide was excellent!!! Well presented, easy to follow. Thank you so very much, Josh. I'm jumping back in the game after being away for several years. I completely forgot about most of the mechanics that you mentioned.

[JoJo-miuk]

Excellent! Thank you for a high quality video, that covers most to all basics for beginners! You can see the amount of effort you've put into this! it turned out great!

[jowler]

Downloading this as you are speaking. This is pretty much the greatest tutorial I've ever watched. Thanks for the hard work! :)

[Kshaadoo]

Very good guide for a starting/returning player. I myself played Tera a long time ago and made it to level 30. Returned to play a few days ago and got little confused on some new stuff. Thank you for the guide.

[lorenzoros]

Great guide! Very detailed, I've understood many things and now I'm ready to enjoy the game 😀

[ReggieWarrhol]

An excellent tutorial for any new player. I do hope you've posted this to the forum for others to see. Well done!
