Shore Hold

Shore Hold is 7 vs 7 battleground in TERA. It was released in January 2019 PVP update along new new Disciplinary, Harmonic, and Impregnable PVP gear.

On EU and NA it replaced 15 vs 15 Fraywind Canyon which was removed on same update. Battleground has three pyres and single BAM which occasionally spawns. Like FWC points are awarded on holding pyres and killing BAM. August 2020 (64-bit) patch restricted BG to level 70 characters.

Shore Hold is non-equalized which means players with better gear have advantage. To enter the battleground you need to play Corsairs' Stronghold and buy PVP gear from Bellicarium and enchant it +6, or you will be kicked. And sometimes even after it since BG is known to be elitist. Also dps/tank classes need to wear only pumped (power) versions of accessories or you'll be likely to get kicked.

As of Exodor patch enchanting PVP gloves and boots is unnecessary since Exodor gear pieces with sufficiently high enchant level surpass protection of PVP gear. In fact, +0 golden gear is reportedly tankier than +9 defensive PVP boots and hands. PVP weapon is definitely needed, since BG doesn't allow potions and only PVP gear has mana regeneration.

Player with BiS Exodor hands+foot armor at +15 and +9 PVP weapon+chest has roughly double the protection and attack compared to player in minimum +6 PVP gear has. Luckily, after August 2020 patch PVP gear no longer loses enchantment levels on enchant failure.

BiS set of accessories is highly recommended. New Radiant rings give 35 power each compared to 24 power of Ethereal. Also Radiant earrings give 28,000 HP compared to 8,800 HP of Ethereal. Futhermore Exodor patch masks and belts give better stats.

Being non-equalized also means Enhancement Points and Skill Advancement count. Full Skill Advance gives most classes 20 more power and 20 more endurance (Sorcerer, Archer gets 40 power). This means gringing 180 skill Advancement points and 1+ million gold. Also cards in Card Collection have useful stats for battleground.

With Apex new "ultimate" skills and new gear PVP balance is much more aggressive than is used to be. This means almost all classes can kill opponent with single combo when in similar gear. This particularly stresses healers since there's only one in each team.
