What works
Installer, patching
What does not
login (without a few dll tweaks and installs), get the cannot login to server error around 70% of the attempts and occasionally it goes further so I can now login to the launcher
xmllite.dll would not install using winetricks so I placed the dll in the tera root directory and this seems to allow it to the next stage of failure
Cannot play the game
Workarounds
What was not tested

Additional Comments
It would seem that an X64 install of Wine would improve a few things here (I don't understand how Wine does not have an X64 installer in this age) System Specs - ample for most games in W7: Phenom x4 2.7 8Gb Ram GTX650Ti GPU

Couple of items to note:
1. Need 32bit PREFIX, I could not get 64bit PREFIX working even if patches. I used a 32bit virtual machine to build. You could also build in a chroot. Seewiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit for more information. # TODO: need to confirm
2. The default Windows XP profile does not seem to work (at least with wine-staging-1.8.9), after I changed to Win 7 profile, the launcher started to work.
Winetricks installed in my PREFIX:
winhttp
As of 24.01.2015, it seems that wine-staging build is required in order to launch TERA-launcher.exe properly. It can be found at https://github.com/wine-compholio/wine-staging
It will still not work though, you need to remove boost_interprocess stuff (which then will get recreated, so this is required for every launch), by executing rm ~/.wine/drive_c/users/Public/Application\ Data/boost_interprocess/* or whatever is correct for your env.
Performance notes
Performance seems to stutter quite a bit due the Flash based HUD, which can be tested by hiding the HUD using ctrl+z (default keybinding).
There is another performance related problem, where most actions lags quite a bit behind due the UI being fairly slow. Hiding the clock and FPS counter makes the UI more responsive, so disabling these two settings is suggested.
Installing new Flash with winetricks
sh winetricks flash
seems to help by few FPS points.
Removing mini map (N key by default) also seems to help by few FPS.

"winetricks d3dx9 xact xinput
Put xmllite.dll(files.playonlinux.com/TERA_Wine_Fix.zip) to C:/Program Files/TERA/Client/."
Works for me on both, 32 and 64 prefixes. Sound works too for me. Made my first char and haven't had any problems so far.
Wine Version 1.7.13 on Gentoo Testing Branch
Had some problems while installing because the Launcher kept freezing while "applying the patch". Clicking on "Launcher Settings -> Repair your install -> Click here to begin repair" fixed it after a few times so you should just keep on repairing if the Launcher keeps freezing. This only occurs while installing (and probably updating?) the game. after that you will get to the login right after opening the launcher.
Thanks for the help @ the mantainer.
