Farm Spot Friday!


Hey guys and gals, welcome to the second edition of Farm Spot Friday! Today I’m going to give you lovely readers’ one spot that I consider a pretty decent area to farm but also an area that will give you some reputation with the Valsekyr Hunt Faction. I know a lot of you are likely still levelling up your factions and of course if you didn’t know, the Valsekyr Hunt are the one faction you can grind reputation by simply farming mobs in the respective area of Val Kaeli. I’m going to mark my favourite spot to farm here which is quite a quiet spot where there will be little annoyances and the mobs are easy to kill which are based in the area of Argonea within Val Kaeli.

You can find these mobs (Kaldashi Charger) are just up the big hill south of the Agnurok Engine which I will mark on the map below. 



These mobs are pretty low in health and I’ve found them pretty easy to kill. The gold and loot dropped by these guys is pretty great and you can also gain 25 reputation from each kill you get as well as 1 Valsekyr Hunt Credit which really piles up after a while. I would say you could farm these for a day or two and easily max out the reputation with the Valsekyr Hunt Faction meaning you can buy all those awesome accessory crystals, accessories and other items which will lead to being able to get vanity items like the hats and eventually the awesome Panther mount.

Good luck farming and see you guys next week for more posts on how to make gold in Tera Online!

Next week Europe finally gets a large bundle of patches as well and hopefully some more cool ways to earn gold in-game woohoo!

Making Money With Alchemy

Short post today guys but still useful nonetheless!


The first and foremost thing I’ve found on how to make some easy gold with crafting is through Alchemy. The most simple method has been by getting your Alchemy to 300 and by simply creating some of the higher level scrolls. The materials are fairly cheap and all you actually need are Xersteel Bars along with some items that are readily available from the merchants where you can craft. Crafting either ‘Scroll of Savergery V’ or ‘Scroll of Carving V’ in fairly large quantaties has generated quite a hefty profit for me without trying at present if you extract a lot of metal from gear.

You can sell these items in quite decent sized bundles. My personal preference would be in either stacks of 50 or 100 at present and from my server values have ranged from around 75g to 125g for a stack of 50. These are perfect to sell because everyone needs these. Especially in Heroic Modes of the dungeons that are available. (Unfortunately only Fane of Kaprima and Balder’s Temple at present for EU. Thanks Frogster). Nonetheless these are pretty much a staple for anyone running dungeons and instant profit as long as your market isn’t too flooded.

Just to add, the main thing I've started to notice VERY recently is the price of Xersteel rising making it not too worth selling however if you have extracted many bars from armor and weapons I recommend selling as scrolls for fast sales. However with the increase of bar prices it may actually be worth just selling the bars instead ^-^'

More tips soon guys. Stay safe and catch you all soon.

Sell That Armour!


So from playing Tera for nearly two months now on the European servers I’ve started to notice that there aren’t too many ways to make money in the Brokerage. Unfortunately due to the removal of crafting quest givers being removed in the US and EU versions of the game it has made Crafting very awkward, especially after getting to 300 points in each profession.

So due to that, crafting is not really the best way to rack up money at 60 if selling the higher level materials at present. Today I will not be talking about making money via the crafting market today though. I will be talking about something that you have most likely noticed makes a lot of money, but for those that haven’t seen this. This is your chance to make the most out of it! And that is by selling all the armour or weapons that you slowly pick up while farming… or in dungeons or other places.

Enchanting is currently the easiest and by the looks of it the most preferred way to make money in-game. I’ve quite easily made a fair amount of gold just by selling armour or weapons for others to use in enchanting. Some of the lower level stuff is actually not worth selling on the Brokerage. Mainly because as I’ve said before, the vendor value is much greater. I still see people undercutting and then making their sales lower than vendor value which is ridiculous. Slowly but surely I have been compiling a price list of all the Tier 11 and 12 armour, weapons and accessories along with some other higher level items so you can find the cheaper things on the Brokerage and simply vendor them. Or even extract if a profit is to be made. However more on that in the future and back on to selling items for enchanting.

So, selling more specifically Tier 12 armour or weapons can easily rake in a few thousand gold a day if you are farming. You can also put your Broker skills to work and buy some gear low and sell it offer a little higher for more profit if you choose to do so. It’s a pretty simple format and I’m sure most of you readers have been previous MMO players so understand some of the ideas I am putting forward.  So sell all your Gold and Blue items via auction house as there is always someone who will likely buy it out because everyone needs to enchant their gear in this game. Currently I consider this the quickest way to make a large amount of gold each time round and hopefully you will also notice the profits of doing this.
That’s all for today guys, keep following me and fingers crossed I’ll have another article out very soon before the next Farm Spot Friday!
