Throne and Liberty: Weekly Reset, Shop Rotation, and Updates
The latest maintenance for Throne and Liberty has just concluded, but unfortunately, the anticipated Mastery update is not part of this patch. However, the return of Tio Talks on January 21st promises insights into upcoming updates and content, including the highly awaited Throne and Liberty Lucent features. Players are anxiously awaiting the arrival of new systems and content, but for now, let's dive into the key updates this week and what's on offer in the game.
1. New Shop Rotation and Sacred Grove Outfit
A fresh set of skins has arrived with the maintenance, including the much-anticipated Sacred Grove Outfit. This set offers a nature-inspired look, with a focus on the wintry aesthetic. While the helmet might not appeal to everyone, players can remove certain decorations for a more minimalist monk-style appearance. The Sacred Grove bundle includes skins for male and female characters, and customization options allow you to adjust colors. The cloak is a notable feature, although some might find it a bit overbearing, especially on the female character.
Additionally, a range of weapon skins has been added to the store, including designs for various weapon types, such as great swords, swords and shields, daggers, bows, crossbows, and magical staves. These skins are priced at 600 ENT each, and they complement the Sacred Grove Outfit. You'll have two weeks to purchase these skins.
2. Amat Toys: Collector's Items
New Amat toys have been added to the store, including the Hawthorn cotton candy wood Hall. These toys offer bonuses in the forest region but are largely aimed at collectors. It's not necessary to buy them unless you're specifically looking to collect these items, as you can easily earn 25 Amoys without spending 600 Lucent. The most valuable Amat toys are those offering item drop bonuses, which can increase your chances of getting valuable items. However, none of the Amat toys available in the store contribute to the Battle Pass, so there’s no urgency in purchasing them.
3. Weekly Reset: Missions and Rewards
With the weekly reset, new missions have been made available. These weekly missions offer various rewards, including Rune Chests, which are especially valuable if your runes aren’t maxed out. Completing these missions can earn you essential items like scrolls and rune chests. Players should also focus on completing at least seven dimensional trials, which will grant you the coveted 150 Rune Chests. You can use these chests to level your runes or boost your weapons. Even if you're not keen on completing the trials, they provide great rewards, so make sure to take advantage of them.
This week's dimensional trials have rotated over to the Valley of Slaughter and Carmine Rage Island. Although it’s not mandatory to complete them all, it’s highly recommended to at least get up to Tier 15 in these trials for the first-clear rewards. These rewards often include valuable Rune Chests that help increase your rune levels.
4. The Importance of Rune Leveling
While completing secret dungeons can be fun, it’s not a necessity to level up your runes. You can earn runes by engaging in dynamic events, boss battles, and using contract tokens to clear mobs. If you're focused on leveling your runes, completing dimensional trials can speed up the process, but don’t feel pressured to engage in them if you don’t enjoy them. Weekly missions, dynamic events, and bosses will still provide plenty of opportunities to level up.
Pro Tip: Always try to complete your weekly missions for extra rewards. Not only do these missions provide helpful items, but they’re also an easy way to keep progressing.
5. Training Dues: A Waiting Game for Mastery Update
With the Mastery update looming on the horizon, it’s worth noting that the current system divides XP between your two equipped weapons. When the Mastery update arrives, you’ll be able to assign XP to a specific weapon of your choice, which can be a significant advantage when trying to level up one weapon faster than the other. Until that update is live, you might want to hold onto your training dues to take advantage of this upcoming feature.
6. Abyss Coins, Gear, and Contracts
The Abyss Coins have lost some of their value since the price of blue and purple gear has dropped significantly. However, if you're a newer player or still looking to upgrade your gear, these coins can still be useful. As we await the Tier 2 gear update, saving up these coins can prove useful for purchasing future gear pieces when the time comes.
If you’re feeling uninspired by the current areas like Silus Abyss, Shadowed Crypt, Sanctum of Desire, or Sidoma Island, it might be a good idea to save your Abyss Coins for future updates, such as the upcoming Tier 2 gear content.
7. Preparing for the Mastery Update
While we don't have an exact timeline for the Mastery update, players should begin preparing by saving items and resources that will be valuable for the new system. These include scrolls, especially Tel's Tower scrolls, which offer high XP boosts for your weapons. The upcoming update will allow you to assign XP to one weapon of your choice, helping you progress faster on your chosen playstyle.
8. Universal Power Band and Other Valuable Items
As part of the weekly reset, be on the lookout for the Band of Universal Power in the Guild missions. This ring, though expensive, offers the best attribute bonuses available in the game. Keep an eye on the drop rates and plan accordingly to acquire it. The drop rate is currently low at 0.15%, so if you get lucky, it can be a significant upgrade to your character’s power.
Conclusion
Though this week’s maintenance doesn’t include the new content we were all hoping for, there’s still plenty to do and plenty to look forward to. With the return of Tio Talks on January 21st, we can expect more details on the upcoming updates. For now, focus on completing your weekly missions, collecting Rune Chests, and preparing for the inevitable Mastery update, which will change the way you level up your weapons. If you're interested in enhancing your experience further, consider buying TL Lucent from MMOEXP for a reliable source of in-game items.
