Translated Campfire Article
Tonight we're bringing you a translation from the Official Korean site, courtesy of That's Too Bad! This is hot off the press, having been posted to the site earlier today! Tomorrow, we'll bring you another translation from the official Korean site!
This article is a brief but official description of the "campfire" mechanic TERA uses.
Campfires are an interesting part of the out of combat TERA experience that our FGT players may have some experience with. This first article hits on a few major points of the campfire system. We'll start with an exact translation of the article and then I'll be happy to explain my personal experience with the system!
While that's a quick overview of the features of TERA's campfires, there's a lot to say about them! Basically, there are campfires, just like the one pictured, all around the world of Arborea, usually near questing hubs. Those particular fires never burned out in my time testing.
However, these campfires also exist in portable versions, being given out as quest rewards. Players were able to put those down wherever they chose, though eventually, if not tended to, those fires would die out. That's the purpose of the firestarters! Any player was able to keep the fire alive by using a firestarter item. The portable fires were one-time-use items and weren't buyable at the time, but this could always change!
When you stand next to these campfires, two things change. For one it recovers your health more quickly than just wandering around and for another, it begins to change a statistic called your "condition". In the picture to the right, you'll see a big heart with a "100%" in it. That's how one's condition is depicted, with that player's at 100%. Your condition rises in percentage the longer you stay at the campfire. Better condition actually adds to your health by a certain amount, which I found really useful!
The original article mentions parchment papers which, when you throw them into the fires, give you and the people around you a buff specific to the particular paper.
Keep in mind, everything here is always subject to change!
Stay tuned for tomorrow's translation! Have a nice evening, TERA Fans!
