No, the level 60 scrolls don't work.

Closing this thread and changed the title. The Valkyrie items are now in the Fashion Coupon store.

Deleted some content from this thread regarding proxies and 3rd party programs. Please remember that discussing these is against the forum rules, and using them violates the TERA Terms of Service.

If you delete your EN.version and Live2-Launcher.version files within your TERA directory, it will force the launcher to check and re-download some files. It may fix your problem. If not, I suggest filling out a support ticket so one of our CS members can help you troubleshoot.

Good to know. Did you go into your inventory after you claimed the Extra Slot item?

Okay. Just checked with CS. They said to check your inventory. Claiming an item from Item Claim does not actually "USE" the item. So, check your item and see if it's waiting for you there.

Hint: That's where mine was.

Also, there's another thread for this, so I'm going to close this one down.

They're in the process of being added. There ARE Valkyrie fashion coupon items. They'll be 500 coupons each, just like Ninja.

Sorry for the slight delay. Unfortunately there are certain things we can only change once the servers are live, and in this case we didn't want to extend maintenance even longer.

Yes, not crimson.

@Spacecats and everyone that was on the stream watching and redeemed codes:
I have not received Fragments from 'TheFinalRuneMark' code. I got the car, the 500 reward credits, the dragon wings, the dragon scales, but not the fragments. Maybe a delay, I'll check logging in today, report back if there isn't nothing by midnight (GMT time.)

Confirmed received fragments. It was a delay as I've suspected.

Sorry for the wait. When a lot of codes are redeemed all at once, the Item Claim can get a little overwhelmed and put things into a delivery queue. Unfortunately that's what I originally thought was happening with some of the earlier item codes, and it turns out they really were borked. I hope the final code with the dragon wings and go-kart helps make up for any missing deliveries.

Tiana wrote: »

Come on guys! You got this!

Winner, winner, valkyrie dinner.

This is out of the ordinary, and unexpected. I'll look into why this is happening for future codes, but unfortunately I believe timers like this are tied to the items themselves and the way they're delivered via Item Claim. I think some items from the Glaiveathon will have to remain this way. I'll warn people today about it.

No. My birthday was yesterday. No sale.

It's certainly POSSIBLE there will be some sales during the valkyrie release, and similarly during May, our anniversary month.

Stay tuned.

It's very cool that Independent is taking the time to help people learn the encounter. Sounds like there may have been some drama in the past, so it's good that everyone involved is looking to move past it and tackle Harrowhold like pros. Thank you guys and good luck with the training!

The boxes are like Russian nesting dolls. All you need is the first box from getting level 2 before the 30th. After that you just need the appropriate character level required to open the boxes inside. You can take as long as you like.

Starting NOW and ending April 25 at 11:50 p.m. PDT, we're taking submissions for the Valkyrie Loading Screen Contest! The top winners will get an EMP prize along with the rare honor of joining the ranks of previous community artwork to be featured as in-game loading screens!

To enter, read the submission rules and instructions in this news post: http://tera.enmasse.com/news/posts/tera-contest-valkyrie-loading-screens

I can't wait to see what our community artists create for the new class. Good luck!

A new breed of hero is about to take flight. Join me for TEN HOURS of Valkyrie preview over two days! We'll begin on Friday at 11 a.m. PDT (then again on Saturday at 11 a.m. PDT), forging our new Valkyrie, giving her whatever weird face our Twitch channel demands, then taking to the field of battle in order to hopefully not die. I'm taking suggestions for Valkyrie names right here. The higher we level during the course of the marathon, the more rewards our viewers will receive.

On top of that, the weekend of April 22 has been designated "Glaiveathon Rewards Weekend." The higher our simultaneous viewer count gets, the more rewards we'll unlock for that weekend. I'm talking about double XP, enchanting events, overworld invasions, and cosmetic items for all TERA players to enjoy! It all depends on what milestones we reach, so participation matters.

Those of you who joined us for Extra Life and the Ninjathon Class Preview know I like to get a little weird during these marathon streams, so be prepared for some extra "hidden milestones" and surprise events to keep things entertaining throughout the show. We're gonna have some fun.

Spread the word! It all goes down at https://www.twitch.tv/enmasseentertainment

Thank you enmasse.

Thanks so much for posting. There's a lot of really great comments in this thread showing player love for the TERA crew. It's stuff like this that helps keep us motivated to do our best!

Yes, the name reservation event is just to set aside a character name for later use. You can use it on April 11 to make a Valkyrie.

The Character Slot voucher will be delivered to your account via Item Claim after the Valkyrie goes live the morning of the 11th. Claim it on the server you want the extra character slot on to get a free one. If you're already at 16 characters on a server (the current max) don't worry, the April 11th update is also upping the maximum number of characters from 16 to 17 per server. Just log on to an existing character, claim the voucher, and unlock your 17th slot for your new character.

Kind of an odd question, but sure why not ;D

Our current streaming PC is a couple years old. It uses an NVIDIA GTX 970, 16GB RAM, and a i7 4Ghz CPU. The OS is Windows 10 and the hard drive is a SSD.

Overall TERA runs great on highest detail. Really the only time we run into trouble is when we're simultaneously rendering a stream (X-Split), using GM commands in TERA (which isn't really normal game behavior), and there are hundreds of players around. Then things slow down quite a bit. If anything I wouldn't mind a video card upgrade and maybe a little more RAM, but I haven't gotten around to getting the request in.

Sounds like something you should submit a support ticket for. They can help you troubleshoot. Your system specs are very close to what I run at home, and my machine barely hiccups in crowded areas no matter how long I've been playing. Something weird is definitely going on.

http://support.enmasse.com/tera/tickets/submit

You're going to want to submit a support ticket to get this resolved:
http://support.enmasse.com/tera/tickets/submit

The support crew will need a little more information as well. Please include your launcher.log file (located in your TERA folder), a screenshot of the error you're getting, and a screenshot of your TERA folder.

We appreciate all the kind words. We care about TERA and want to give everyone a great experience. See y'all in the dream!

I was actually hoping it'd be more like the Warrior LV 65 box... with the free weapon skin, noble enigmatic scroll and other beneficial loot. But... what really confuses me the most is their choice in numbers. Why x255? Why x92? Why x3? Is this a hidden code into a deeper meaning or you did you roll a 300-sided dice?

I believe 255 tokens is exactly how many you need to get full slaughter + jewelry.

As it's explained in the news post, the 24-hour titles are really meant to award the most hardcore players. They're in the same vain as server-first achievements, which TERA has had in the past and were far less forgiving.

When it comes to level-up rewards, the Valkyrie Rewards Box has a much larger window and gives you a lot more rewards for reaching level 65 (including its own title).

@Spacecats, @Noesis, @Halrath

So it was mentioned in the EU patch notes as a "Known issue" that you could not use Volcanic, Obsidian, or Glacial weapon skins on the Valkyrie just yet. Since we have to wait longer then EU for the class to come out, will we get to use the weapon skins on our Valkyrie when it does come out next week? I know many people have these skins saved including myself, and it would be quite disappointing to not level a Valkyrie while not being able to wear the weapon skin.


So will these skins be usable on release date or not?

They should be usable on the release date. Go decorate your pretty little valkyrie.

This is a duplicate issue that already has at least two other threads. We are working on the issue right now. Sorry about the headache.

I'm checking on this right now. We'll try to get the hamsters shaken out shortly.

The codes should be working now, there was an issue with the activation time versus when they started getting handed out. We'll follow up with MMORPG.com as well to let them know that the codes are working now.

So if you have a code already, use it. It should be valid and grant you your items. If you use it and it doesn't work for you, post here and let me know.

Changing channels should not be considered a "fix"

It's not a fix, it's a workaround. The animals will be gone after maintenance on Tuesday morning, but if the PC you're running on is experiencing lag from the players and NPCs in that area, moving to another spot will stop it.
