Summary
Thone and Libertycan be quite a complex game, and like in any MMORPG, there are some beginner mistakes players should avoid if they don’t want to get stuck later in their progression.
This topic incorporates several common mistakes that everyThrone and Libertyplayer could stumble upon, alongside some useful advice on how to re-direct the players' efforts into better solutions for their needs. From spending key end-game resources recklessly to a level-up gimmick that most players ignore and could be crucial for the end-game.
1Avoid Spending Skill Growth Books Recklessly
It Will Make You Stumble In The Late-Game
Throughout the adventure inThrone and Liberty,players will receive tons of rewards like materials for crafting, equipment to boost their gear score, and items to improve their passive and active skills called Skill Growth Books. These can also be crafted (like most of the things in the game) but to do so, players need to grind a lot.
It is convenient for players to keep their Skill Tome usage to a minimum, no matter the level, since they will need them in the late game to maximize their optimal builds. And though there are a lot of items that allow players to transfer the progression from one skill to the other, these are rare and expensive, since they’re bought with in-game Currency in the shop. It is better to hoard these Books and use them later when the players already know what kind of character they want to build.
2Don’t Spend Materials Crafting Tier 0 & 1 Equipment
Save Resources For Later, You’ll Appreciate Having Loads Of Them
Tier 0 Equipment can be bought from the Equipment Stores in each City, and Tier 1 Equipment is often obtained by doing quests, or dropped from monsters. However, materials are resources that are absolutely necessary to progress beyond tier 1 to tier 2, and by spending them recklessly, players expose themselves to getting stuck in an undergeared hell.
Players should aim to spend materials wisely anduse the Lithography book to claim better gearby trading tier 0 equipment for tier 1 equipment. Tier 0 equipment drops regularly from monsters, especially during events like the Wolf Hunt Contest.
3Do Not Sell Tier 0 & Tier 1 Equipment
As mentioned, Tier 0/1 equipment can be used in the Lithography book to claim rewards and better gear. So, selling it for regular currency, which drops from nearly everywhere, is a mistake players should avoid.
Unless, of course, it is a repeated piece of equipment that players already have in their Lithograph Books. Nevertheless, double or triple-check before selling gear, since sometimes several lithograph entries require the same item, so players probably need more than one Lamellar Armor or Cantrip Staff to complete the collection.
4Avoid Selling Leveled Items Or Spending Them On Lithograph Book
Leveled Items Can Be Used To Enhance New Gear
Gear Items like Weapons, Armor, and Accessories all have levels that increase when players spend Growthstones on them. There’s a particular mechanic that every player should be aware of before getting rid of their old leveled items - Growth levels can be transferred to new items.
This can be done from the Main Menu, in the Equipment Enchanting section. So, players should refrain from selling, destroying, or bidding to the Lithograph Book their leveled items. Instead, they should always put all the growth value in the new items from higher tiers once they’re done with the old ones. Doing so will destroy the old item, but will save players loads of resources and Growthstones.
5Do Not Spend Growthstones Recklessly
A Crucial Resource Every Late Game Player Will Miss If They Spend It In The Early Stages
Growthstones are the items players need to level up items such as Weapons, Armor, and Accessories. But they’re quite scarce, and they’re often obtained through the rewards of the Milestone, Leveling Log, Contracts, or Codex. While completing the main storyline, players should receive a hefty amount of them, but they should not spend them recklessly.
Like every component, these can be leveled up, so saving Tier 1 Growthstones means that players will get access to more Tier 2 Growthstones and so on. So these are some of the few items that areactually wise to hoard in the warehouse.
6Avoid Diversifying Builds Too Much
Entering Build Creep Is Always Bad
Players might be tempted byThrone and Liberty’s no-class system, where players decide their path based on the weapons they pick and the skills they develop. But beware: pick no more than two weapons and stick with them, since leveling up all the active skills, passive skills, and weapon skills can be a pain.
For example, picking up Staff and Wand as primary weaponsmight help players level uphealing, curses, and attack magic at a 50/50 growth rate. Picking Greatsword, Wand, and Daggers will result in a 33.3% growth rate in each of the skill lines. This will result in an underleveled character in the late game, and it will be an expensive error to fix.
7Don’t Level Up Without Completing All Area Objectives
Missing Extra Rewards Can Be Tough For The Advancement Of The Player
Some area objectives can be accessed easily from the Codex or the Manage Content tab can be bound to certain world events that happen every day or every few hours. Players might feel the need tomaximize their leveling and rushfor the end-game content, but by doing so, they miss the chance to participate in some of these events, which are bound to certain Codex objectives that grant even more rewards.
Throne and Libertydoesn’t necessarily punish players that rush levels, since they can get access to high-tier areas faster, and also accumulate rewards. But the snowball effect for a completionist player who participated in every event and completed all the secondary objectives bound to events will be bigger. It’s up to each player to decide.
8Don’t Waste Contract Coins, Save Them For Later
Finally, using Contract Coins is a good way to get the best gear in the late game. These can be obtained by completing Contracts (the first ones are obtained in Urstella Fields, at the Starlight Ruins Observatory) and are quite tricky to farm since players only get access to a certain amount of contracts per day.
So, saving them for later can be good, since the rewards from the Lvl. 50 Tier can be way better than just keys for random chests, materials that can be farmed from other sources, and other miscellania. For example, spending 200 coins will yield a box that can grant a Tier 3 (Purple) weapon, so better save the coins until their characters reach level 50.
