TERA news » Take Parrrt in TERA's Talk Like a Pirate Day!

Ahoy, mateys! To give a proper TERA salute to International Talk Like a Pirate Day, we’ll be roundin’ up crews across the world and making sure they know their pirate lingo in our first “flash” event.

Startin’ at two bells (5 p.m. PDT for you landlubbers) Wednesday, September 19 (that's today!), En Masse’s buccaneers will be handin’ out pirate treasure: eye patches, pirate hats, and rubies. Watch for in-game announcements alertin’ ye of the event’s start on each server.

To participate, form a raid group of up to 15 people, head to Cutthroat Harbor, look for Minea, and invite her to join you. She’ll test you to see whether you know your pirate tales (and pirate tails, in the case of popori). Answer her questions (preferably in your best “Arrr-P” voice), and a pirate’s bounty is yours!

Beware, scalawags! This is our first flash community event, so we’re warning you in advance. Future flash events may arrive with no warning. (Pirate voice: the timin’ be arrrbitrary!) When you log in to TERA, anything can happen!

Event specifics

Where: Cutthroat Harbor (near the big shark)

What: Talk Like a Pirate Day Quiz!

How:

• Join four other players to form a quiz team, then seek out two additional five-player quiz teams (your competition) and form a raid group. Once all 15 of you are in the same raid, invite Minea to join your raid group (she’ll be your 16th!) and prepare to be quizzed!
• Designate a speaker for your quiz team to answer questions on your behalf (that’s a total of three speakers per raid group).
• Your team should whisper your answers to each other. When you settle on a final answer, your designated speaker tells it to Minea.
• The first speaker to answer the question correctly receives a point for their team.
• Minea will ask you up to seven questions to determine a winning team.
• When a team wins by earning enough points to beat out their opponents, Minea will note the winners and move on to the next raid group.

Prizes

• Each member of a winning quiz team receives a pirate hat, an eye patch, and a ruby worth 100 gold!
