Fiesta VS Terra

Nothing much happened this week, so instead I'm going to do a blogpost on a question I get asked alot: Which is better, Fiesta or Terra?

First let me list out all the differences: Fiesta's level cap is level 110, Terra is level 130. You might think it's super hard to level all they way to there, and I agree, though I think the real levelling challenge comes at level 115, when most people pretty much finishes all their Kingdom Quest quests.

Second, the experience points (EXP) gained on Fiesta is quite minimal, while on Terra, during the low levels, you can kill a slime and get 2 levels' worth of EXP. Personally, I took about 2 days to reach level 60, including my time spent on making money. My cleric's master told me that he reached level 115 in a single day, but then I told him he has no life :P

Third, making money. On Fiesta, you either work on your Production Skills, or you buy and resell to make money. Personally, I sold materials to vendors. It isn't that good of a way of making money, but I don't like working on Production Skills, and I'm terrible at prices. However on Terra, almost everyone uses the same way to make money: decompositioning. Saps sold to NPCs fetch a ridiculously high price, with every Low Quality (LQ) sap selling at 5s each. Mushrooms and toadstools sell for the same price. What most people do is that they farm for High Quality saps, or buy them, and they decomp it down to LQ saps, which sell for more, and they sell it to the NPCs, so usually there's always a crowd around Nina. Of course, that drives up most of the prices for other items, like weapons and armour.

Fourth, what NPCs sell. On Fiesta, if you want something from the SparkCash store, you have to make sure you have real money to pay it up. However on Terra, everyone has at least one SparkCash item because the NPCs sell it in Roumen. This is one of the biggest advantage of Terra over Fiesta. On Fiesta, the only permanent SparkCash item I have is a Red Wedding Outfit on my cleric Pearlglimmer, while on Terra, I have Permanent Pink Valentines Outfit, Angel Wings, Candy Cat (mini-pet) and Platinum Crown, with plans of getting a permanent Cat Tail. Weapon Skins on Terra also are permanent, except for the Teva Skins, which are 30 days. On Fiesta, Weapon Skins have a durability on them, like 3k, or 25k. If you want to use it for a long time, you need to constantly repair it. On Terra, I have a Le Papillon Staff Skin for my Wizard.

Fifth, Kingdom Quests. While on Fiesta Kingdom quests (KQ) starts on level 7 with King Slime KQ, on Terra it starts at level 90. Just as well, I don't want to grind my 90s out. King Slime KQ also gives ridiculously high EXP, so after 2 KQs and 1 turn-in for a quest, you can hit level 95 already. On Fiesta? Henneath KQ gives 1% EXP at level 92, and it also doesn't have quests.

There are actually alot more differences, but for the sake of keeping it short, that are the main differences. Now coming to the point: is Fiesta better than Terra?

It depends on you, but personally I still prefer Fiesta, because all of my friends are there. Sure, I found some friends in Terra as well, but it doesn't beat the social circle that I have on Fiesta. Guilds are pretty much inactive on Terra except for raids, while when I was on Fiesta, DaBarKadz and Meteor_Shower can spam up my whole chat box with green letters.

However if you're more of a soloer, I'd say that Terra may fit you, because the stuff you get there are really good, especially if you can't afford SparkCash.

That's my conclusion for Fiesta and Terra. How you view it, it's really up to you.
