Corsairs’ Stronghold brings the type of PvP experience TERA players have wanted since release. Siege weapons and even airships can be used in the struggle to either take or defend the anchorstone, the primary goal in the heart of the defending team’s stronghold.

This all sounds great, but how can level 30s to 59s compete with geared up level 60s? That’s easy enough: All battleground participants will be scaled up to level 60, including all of their current skills. All gear will also be equalized in strength, though your battleground gear will retain your standard equipment’s number of crystal slots.

Along with this much-needed battleground injection come new titles, a new mount to win, and a slew of pirate-themed costume items to make even the least intimidating Popori look like a real swashbuckler.

Can’t wait to try your hand at Corsair’s Stronghold? You don’t have long to wait, as the update will be making its way to the game on July 2nd. If you’ve parked your TERA account for a lack of anything to do, now might be the time to reinstall.
