A walk-through of the New Enchantment and Upgrade system of TERA Online. Patch 61.02 - Might of the Mechanic.
So you've just returned or simply surprised by the new enchantment system of TERA! And everything is sooooooooo confusing! STOP! Breathe! and Calm Down.
☆*━♫*--QHP Note: this is from our own experience on TERA Europe, so rates for tokens or drop locations 'maybe' different from TERA NA. But overall the process of enchanting and upgrading are the same.
QHP prepared this post as careful and as baby step-ish as possible!
Ready? Let's go!
★**★*―--How to Get New Gears!
First of all don't worry if you don't have Misery +12 or any other +12 - +15 Higher Tier gears. If you're lv65, you'll get a Gear quest from Dougal at Highwatch and Enchant and Upgrade materials quest from Adria at Island of Dawn.
■□■ Dougal's Quest: Fresh Arms - - and Legs ■□■
■□■ Adria's Quest: Littered Path ■□■
Go talk to Dougal and he'll give you a set of new gear!! ( ☆ w ☆ ) no more running through dungeons! (unlike what he made us do before...) *salty*
These gear will also be available at the Vanguard Supply Shop. It costs less than 10 Vanguard Points per item.
◇◆ Fresh Arms - - and Legs Reward ◆◇
- Guardian Weapon Box
- Guardian Armor Box
- Guardian Gloves (gloves for your class)
- Guardian Boots (boots for your class)
- Guardian Belt
- Simple Accessory Set Box
- Prospect Circlet
- Idoneal Inner Armor Coupon
- Ferocious Parthian Brooch (brooch for your class)
◆◇ Vanguard Supply Shop ◇◆
Continue to complete the series of For the Federation quests to receive additional enchant and upgrade materials.
■□■ Dougal's Quest: Wretched Naga Pirates (Kalivan's Challenge) ■□■
■□■ Rimun's Quest: Echoes ■□■
You will also recieve 2 Hero's Challenge quests for additional materials.
■□■ Gaderong's Quest: Hey Look, New Stuff ■□■
★**★*―--Setting Gear Attributes/Effects
These gear will have an enigmatic symbol on them (huge question mark icon on it), Right-Click on the gear to choose the attributes/effects you want to set into it. (No more using spellbinds for the nth time just to get the right attributes) Just be sure to choose which attributes you really want because once you save and confirm, it's all done. You will need to use Semi-Enigmatic Scrolls to re-set those attributes.
◇◆ Enchantment Effect window
☆*━♫*--QHP Note: the number of Semi-Enigmatic Scrolls needed to re-set the items can range from 2-6 scrolls per attribute.
BTW, Semi-Enigmatic scrolls costs 160 Entropic Emblems or 15,000 Killing Spree Credits to buy Enigmatic Rewards Box. Other possible acquisition locations: drop from Ghillleglade or Banyaka's Rootlocked Treasure... 1-2 pcs 'IF' you're lucky. There are Semi-Enigmatic Scrolls and Veteran Semi-Enigmatic Scrolls. Veteran Semi-Enigmatic Scrolls are the Non-Tradable types and are currently dropping in dungeons and found within boxes.
◇◆ Semi-Enigmatic Scrolls
◆◇ Killing Spree Shop ◇◆

For Low Tier Gear, if you really want to re-roll attributes/effects on Guardian Gear (acquired from Dougal or Vanguard Shop) better buy from the Vanguard Supply Shop for less than 10 Vanguard points each piece of equipment rather than spend a lot of Gold to buy Semi-Enigmatics from TB just to reset atrributes/effects. (*ﾉω-*)
*★*◇◆**---Tips for Eligible Effects
Enchantment effects in ORANGE increase item level more than those in green!!
There are 2 effect groups on the list: ones in orange font and ones in green font.
As you can see, this character's complete Guardian Set from Dougal has a Total Item level of 425/425 only.
◇◆ Equipment Page and Item Level
Boots and Armor worn by the character has green colored attributes/effects. Item Level for each is also 405/409 for Guardian Boots and 409/413 for the Guardian Curiass.
If rolled in all orange effects, total item level of the Guardian Set is 427/427, 2 points higher than the gear with green effects. Item Level for Guardian Curiass is also 413/413.
◇◆ Equipment Page and Item Level
☆*━♫*--QHP Note: atm, we don't know how to check for the highest total item level of gears... Just try to max out the item level for each piece of enchantable equipment (boots, gloves, armor and weapon). Experimenting is the key to all the trials and errors...(≧∇≦)ﾉ彡hahahahahaaahaaa.... *faints*（＿＿)ノfufufufu...
Green effects may seem better than Orange effects but only Orange effects can increase your total item level. Incresed item level will help you be eligible for entry to higher level dungeons.
☆*━♫*--QHP Note: In the old enchantment system, item level will increase the more you roll your gear attribute/effects with spellbinds and scrolls.. we are not sure if that will also apply if you use semi-enigmatic scrolls to this new system.. (・ω・ ??)*rolls more?* Σ(￣□￣lll)
★**★*―--Enchanting Gear
Now that you have your new gear, you will need to enchant them. The next quest will help you out. Adria at Island of Dawn will give you a few enchantment materials. The rest of the needed materials can be obtained by completing Vanguard Quests at Island of Dawn. Usually hunting down BAMs. You'll get Metamorphic Emblems and Brilliant Enchanting Box that will contain a few Gold Talents, Metal Fragment and Archdevan Catalyst.
You can buy most of what you need at Metamorphic Emblem shop. You can open the shop by Right-Clicking the Metamorphic Emblem and Entropic Emblem item in your inventory.
There are two kinds of Emblems:
★〓◆ Metamorphic Emblems can be farmed and obtained by doing Island of Dawn Vanguard Quests or Solo Vanguard Quests.
◆◇ Metamorphic Emblem Shop ◇◆
★〓◆ Entropic Emblems on the other hand can only be obtained by dismantling old, depleted items or RNG drops from [Event] Open Secret and [Event] Dark Secret (weekend event item). Check the list of of depleted items on the link below.
◇◆ RNG reward from [Event] Dark Secret
◆◇ Entropic Emblem Shop ◇◆
Active players will have an upper hand at this since they already have (possibly) a stock of Masterwork Alkahests and other old enchant mats that can be dismantled as Entropic Emblems.
Newer players with less stock will have to farm Metamorphic Emblems. Or wait for the weekend event to collect the Small Comets and Star Traces for [Event] Dark Secret to get Entropic Emblems.

https://en.tera.gameforge.com/news/detail/event-star-traces
☆*━♫*--QHP Note: Event: Star Traces is a permanent weekends event. The time rewards may change though.
*★*◇◆**--- Enchantment and Upgrade Materials:
☆*━♫*--QHP Note: This is only a partial list, there are other enchantment and upgrade materials. These materials are the usual rewards from Brilliant Enchantment Box and quests.
★**★*―--Upgrading Gear to a Higher Tier and Upgrade Success Rate
Moving on, you will find an Item Exp on your gear. Maxing it out can help with the upgrade success rate. You can earn Item exp by completing Vanguard Quests.
☆*━♫*--QHP Note: Guardian Set (from Dougal or Vanguard Supply Shop) Do not have Item EXP and can be Upgraded with 100% Success Rate if you have it enchanted to max level of +6. Twisthard and higher tiers need higher item exp for a better success at upgrading.
◇◆ Item Xp
☆*━♫*--QHP Note: Yes, i know.. our gears now need to gain exp to level up. (*ﾉω-*)
Though upgrades are possible, gears need to reach max enchantment level before you can upgrade to a higher tier. These apply to weapons, chest armor, gloves and boots.
- Guardian's Equipment (no item exp! max. level +6 to Twisthard)
- Twistshard Equipment (item exp + max. level +9 to Frostmetal)
- Frostmetal Equipment (item exp + max. level +9 to Stormcry)
- Stormcry Equipment (item exp + max. level +9 to ...)
◇◆ Item Xp and Success Chance
Upgrading can be done by taking off your gear and clicking the 2nd button on the bottom left of the Inventory (it's a sword like icon). Right click on the gear to register and you can see what materials you need to upgrade.
◇◆ Upgrade Icon on Inventory
☆*━♫*--QHP Note: they removed the enchant short-cut button on the equipment page. You also can't Right-Click on the Equipment page to place the item on the Upgrade or Enchant box.
If you are an active player with a set of at least +12 Misery Set, you can upgrade your gear into a Mid-Tier Twisthard Set. All of the gears in the set (Misery and other higher tier) can be upgraded, armor, gloves, shoes, weapons and belt!
◇◆ Upgrading +12 Misery to Twisthard
Unfortunately, Guile Set and everything lower than that cannot be upgraded and cannot be dismantled.. You can only sell off your gear to an NPC.. ( T__T )
Enchanting older gear is still possible, you will still need feedstocks and Masterwork Alkahests. But you can only buy them from the new Emblem shops. These are Tier 11 Feedstock (Enchanting), Tier 12 Feedstock (Enchanting), and Masterwork Alkahest (Enchanting). For example: you have a Misery Armor +11 you can upgrade to Misery Armor +12 then upgrade it to the new Twisthard gear. But if you're starting from Misery +0 then it would be best to just get new Guardian gear from Dougal and upgrade that instead.
New Accessories and Circlets can also be upgraded. So can previous sets of jewelry, but only the Resized versions of Godsboon/ Heavensboon and Keytrap/Keylock can be upgraded. Previous Circlets cannot be upgraded... (。┰ω┰。)
Read the PDF for a detailed list of previous Gear Sets that can be upgraded.

★**★*―--Where to get Enchant and Upgrade Materials
We're almost done! All we need to do now is farm the materials for upgrade!
Upgrade materials can be found at Echoes of Aranea, Celestial Arena, Pit of Petrax solo dungeons, and for higher tier upgrade materials other dungeons like Thaumetal Refinery or RK-9 Kennel.
◇◆ Vanguard Requests Dungeons
☆*━♫*--QHP Note: This is only a partial list of dungeons. Enchantment and Upgrade materials needed for higher tier gear can be dropped on other dungeons on the Vanguard Request page.
With a little more patience to farm mats and gold, you can enchant and upgrade all your gears!
Other interesting info:
★**★*―--Elleon's Mark and Complete Crystal Binds
Although it is no longer listed, Elleon's Mark can still be dropped in dungeons. You can still buy Complete Crystal Binds but for a higher price 40 Elleon's Mark per piece. They removed Semi-enigmatic scrolls from the shop... ( T__________________T )
☆*━♫*--QHP Note: Curiously.. if you open Elleon's Mark Shop it will say "Steadfast Token Shop" Maybe a bug??
