Finishing Starter Island Quests

Do you have to finish the final story quest (5 man) on the starter isle? I reached level 11, went to Velika and got the horse - now just wondering if I have to go back to finish that last quest before any others pop? I couldn't see any more in Velika.

I think its safe to say you should do it because certain story quests unlock other quests, not sure if it necessary to do, id do it to be sure.
However I am sure someone more knowledgeable will chime in with more information soon.
You should be able to solo it anyway. I know I did it with 2 people and it was super easy. Kind of boring that I was a Priest and didn't need to heal anyone. (-_-)
It used to be difficult along with most things in TERA but as the game came closer to release and after a year in Korea it got really dumbed down. Not sure why, Id think people would have wanted a challenge. :P
You can solo it. You get an NPC healer that tops you every time you take damage. It's funny that the quest still lists as "recommended for 5 players".
I was pretty disappointed in TERA's complete lack of challenge in the early levels (I played to lvl 15 as a Slayer last weekend). What's the point of "Action Combat" if I can just complete all encounters with spamming my right and left mouse button. Right button bound to an attack skill, because dodging is not necessary at any point before lvl 15 at least.
Are MMO players just so unbelievably shitty that they need to be autopiloted to max level?
It gets harder, the actual BAM group quests youll be getting everywhere from level 20-60 are all best done in a five man group because it would take you 10minutes to kill each monster and you need to kill 1-5 usually.
Plus they can two shot you when enraged. :P
They nerf the boss on starter island because once game start rolling there won't be much people on starter island so getting 5 people to do that quest could be very annoying later on thats why they nerfed it. As for the rest idk.
Did they nerf it? Honestly I am surprised they recommend 5 people for it to begin with when it is easily soloable as long as you move around. Heck they give you a NPC healer to help too. They made it easier? lol.
But yea maybe a lot of the game is easy but some of those BAMS easily oneshot or two shot you when enraged. I can't wait. I am a huge pvp player but I really want to try out the PVE raids in this game too. No targeting and all you will definetly need some competant players to play with. God I love the combat system and I hate that I can't play it right now! I will work on my lvl 12 archer this beta since I got a zerker to 18 last one. I am playing them both to see what I want for launch. 70 hours til we can play for the weekend!
Just gotta learn to dodge. I managed to solo it on my slayer despite taking loads of damage. I also did it on an archer and he was stupidly easy for a ranged class.
What! I thought you had to do that in order to move on. Shows what I know...
When the game first came out that boss on starter island need 5 people. However complain went in that well it was too annoying to get 5 people to do that quest once the game settle in and there wasn't so much player just starting they nerf the boss so it became soloable. Makes sense really, i mean do you want to spend 1hr looking for a party to finish that quest?
As for the mobs the BAM and Dungeon bosses are hard. They do so much dmg, everything else outside of dungeon is kinda bleh. The mobs in dungeon are pretty dangerous too. Well to me makes sense, i don't want mobs i lvl on to be so hard i have trouble with it, they are suppose to be easy. but not too easy ofc and they aren't. If you decide to tank any of the hits with your face your sitting at the fire for a while after every fight.
When i did SM man was it hard, lvl 26 lancer with 22 green XD ya lol when i block my mp disappears on bosses.It was so hard to keep mp up and not get instantly raped Q_Q But man was that fun.
