The magical world of TERA offers plenty of new experiences for players, as there are many classes to explore. However, you’re limited to only two-character slots initially.
How would you get more slots to play the other classes that have caught your eye?
Thankfully, there are ways to get more character slots. Most require players to spend money, but sometimes the developers give free slots. Keep on reading to find out how to get them.
Getting Founder Status
TERA used to be a paid game, but once it switched to a free-to-play model, players who bought it could achieve Founder status. Once you obtain Founder status, you have eight character slots in total. You’ll need the serial number of the hard copy you purchased.
However, getting Founder status will downgrade your account if you already have over eight slots. If you have already spent money or farmed for slots, we don’t recommend activating Founder status.
Buying Character Slots With Money
You can spend money to buy vouchers that grant you a new character slot in the game’s shop. They cost Thalers, TERA’s premium currency. However, you can only get Thalers by spending money in-game.
Free Slots With TERA Collector’s Edition
The Collector’s Edition of TERA will cost you much more than a standard hard copy but also has a special bonus. Besides the Founder status bonus, you’ll get a new character slot each time the developers release a new class. This special privilege will ensure enough space for all the classes you want to play.
Farming for Gold
Alternatively, you can also use your Gold on character slots. You’ll need to farm plenty of Gold before buying a slot, but it’s doable. All you need is plenty of patience.
Gold is essential in TERA, as your other equipment will also need it. Getting new skills will also set you back.
Fortunately, there are various ways to get Gold, namely:
- Dungeons
Playing in Dungeons only takes a few minutes if you have a kitted-out team. The more characters you have, the more Gold you can get. Playing Dungeons burns your Adventure Coins, so getting enough Gold takes a long time.
- Guardian Missions
Completing Guardian Missions will yield Jewel Boxes as rewards. These boxes sell for a few hundred Gold, and it’s your call whether to open or sell them. The caveat is you only get 40 boxes a day per account.
- Brokering
Buying items at a lower price and selling them when the price increases is also a valid strategy to make money. This method can be tedious, and it’s not for everyone. If you’re willing to sweat for your Gold, though, you can give it a try.
- Naslow Maps
The loot crates and other treasures in the area will sell for good money. If you chance upon some Naslow Maps, you can play in the area for three hours. Bring some friends along to make the experience more entertaining.
Free Character Slots
Occasionally, the developers will give out free character slots. Players could log in and get a free slot when the PlayStation and Xbox servers merged in 2020. Don’t expect this to be a common occurrence, however.
I Can Finally Play a New Character
Players who spend some money can get character slots quickly, but those who wish to grind will have a long road ahead of them. Take advantage of double Gold events, if any, as they save plenty of time. With enough real-world money or grinding, you can finally try out that new class.
