TERA news » The Lost Isle Update Arrives October 13

TERA’s The Lost Isle update goes live next Tuesday, October 13. This content update unveils Stepstone Isle, the new starting player experience that replaces the Island of Dawn. Alternatively, if you’ve been thinking about leveling up a new alt, you may want to wait until after the update hits. Not only will you get to experience the story behind the enigmatic island hidden from sight by the Mysterium until now, but you may well appreciate the Isle’s more accelerated path to level 11.

Character creation and the character selection screen are also receiving a makeover in The Lost Isle update. Players can now mix and match races and classes on a single screen during character creation, while the character selection screen has a much more dramatic flair, and also allows players to move their characters around on the screen.

In addition, this update gives non-max-level PvPers a new battleground. The Gridiron Academy is a level 40-64 version of the level 65 Gridiron battleground, complete with Vanguard quests and rep rewards.

Lastly, The Lost Isle will introduce a “Returning Hero” tab as part of the Vanguard Requests screen. This new tab is designed to help players with high-level characters hit the ground running when they return to the game after an extended absence. Any player with a level 58-65 character who has not logged in for at least a month gains access to the Returning Hero tab for three days. This tab provides information about class skills to help players relearn their class and allows players to upgrade their old gear (limited to one character per server), so they can remain competitive.

All this and more will be unearthed in The Lost Isle next week.

Also watch for the return of Kyra’s Pop-Up Potion Shack next week as part of our upcoming Halloween events.
