Gear leveling comes to TERA with next week’s update

[AL:TERA]Once next week’s Arsenal update arrives, TERA will become the latest MMORPG to take a stab at item progression. Yes, it’s that moment when game designers are ripping their hair out trying to think of yet more ways to expand a character’s growth when their frantic eyes finally rest upon a shapely hunk of metal. “That!” they exclaim. “That! Can we cram XP into that?”

The rest of the room shrugs as if to say, “Why not?”

So what’s going to happen is that at level 65, TERA players will get one of four new sets of special gear. This gear is meant to take up a more permanent residence on your character’s body, as you can level it up (enchant it) with drops you find and even by dismantling your old stuff and feeding it to this new beast that will consume all it is given.

The game’s community manager attempts to explain it in the following video, although you may be distracted by the Doritos snacking and demonic voices to fully understand it all.
