Achieving a high Gear Score in Throne and Liberty is a long grind, especially for free-to-play (F2P) players. With the right approach, you can maximize your efficiency and reach a Gear Score of 3,000 without guild support.

Before we get into the details of the guide, Whether you're struggling to find the right materials, need Throne and Liberty Lucent gear to boost your Gear Score, or simply want to save time on tedious farming, MMOexp offers a variety of services tailored to help you advance faster. Here is a breakdown of the daily tasks, farming methods, and strategies that helped me reach 3,000 gear score. This guide will walk you through my personal experience and give you the tools to get there.

Step 1: Completing the Storyline

The first step in your journey to 3,000 gear score should be finishing the main storyline.

1. Follow the Adventure Codex

· Open your Adventure Codex in the game, and track your progress through the storyline.

· Completing the story gives you experience, rewards, and unlocks several essential game features that will help you grow your character.

2. Claim Your Rewards

· As you progress through the story, make sure to claim rewards listed in the Adventure Codex. These rewards typically include gear, experience, and sometimes materials you’ll need for later.

Step 2: Daily Tasks (Expeditions and Contracts)

Daily tasks are the bread and butter of your progress. They provide steady rewards and resources necessary for gear and trait upgrades.

A. Expeditions

1. Complete Your Expedition Tasks

· Every day, go to the Emory House and reset your expedition. Make sure to select the appropriate difficulty based on your character’s power level.

· Expeditions offer bonus rewards, such as crafting materials, gear, and various currency that will help you upgrade traits or buy Mystic Keys.

2. Select the Right Emory Bonuses

· Use Emory to upgrade your expedition rewards. Adding up-arrows to your expedition increases the rewards you’ll get from each run. Focus on gathering these bonuses as you play.

3. Time Management

· Expeditions can range from 1 hour to 4 hours. If you’re busy, try to set your expeditions for a longer period, like 2 hours, to maximize your rewards without wasting time. Don’t forget to reset your expeditions daily.

B. Daily Contracts

1. Vienta Village Contracts

· After completing the story, head to Vienta Village to check for available contracts. These contracts are crucial as they grant resources, currency, and sometimes purple loot drops.

· Always aim to pick up daily contract items like Ry (a consumable material for crafting buffs) and other items that boost your fishing or experience.

2. Level 50+ Contracts

· If you’ve hit level 50, head to the Pure Tower for high-level contracts that reward rare materials like blue parchment and ore. You’ll need these to craft gear or upgrade your traits.

· When completing contracts, I recommend refreshing for the pouch item, which has a chance to drop purple-tier loot, including rare weapons.

Step 3: Farming Abyssal Tokens and Dungeons

1. Farming Abyssal Tokens

· Abyssal tokens are used to unlock dungeon rewards. Make sure you farm them daily at locations like the Shadow CP dungeon.

· Dungeon Tip: Use Spooky Pumpkin Pie or purchase Mastery Reports from the shop to boost your mastery when farming these dungeons. This boosts your overall damage output and mastery gains during the dungeon runs.

2. Targeting Specific Loot Drops

· Focus on farming specific dungeons that drop items useful for your build. For example, I farmed the Shadow CP dungeon for staff and dagger weapons, which I used to level up my skills and gear traits.

· Key Dungeons: In addition to the Shadow CP, make sure to visit other dungeons where you can acquire trait upgrades and valuable loot.

Step 4: The Mystic Merchant and Mystic Keys

1. Mystic Keys

· As you progress in the game, you’ll encounter the Mystic Merchant who sells key items. The most important item to purchase daily is the Mystic Key. This item allows you to unlock the Mystic Portal, which can provide a variety of rewards, including powerful loot.

· Daily Login Bonus: Make sure to log in every day and collect your 5 Mystic Keys. Don’t miss out, as these do not carry over to the next day.

2. Trait Stones & Enchanted Ink

· Another important item to purchase from the Mystic Merchant is Trait Stones, which are used to upgrade your gear traits.

· Enchanted Ink is another essential item to focus on for upgrading your gear’s traits, which significantly boost your overall power.

3. Purple Contract Loot

· When you refresh your contracts at the Mystic Merchant, look for purple loot drops that include valuable gear or purple-tier weapons. These items can be used to create Lucent gear, which will be covered in the next guide.

Step 5: Gear Upgrades and Traits

1. Gear and Traits Matter

· The most critical component of achieving a 3,000 gear score is upgrading your gear and traits. Focus on getting traits for all your armor and weapons. Traits are upgrades that will increase your gear score significantly. Ensure that every armor piece is upgraded with traits that fit your class and playstyle.

2. Gear Stats

· Don’t just focus on traits—make sure your gear stats are optimized as well. Always upgrade your weapon and armor to higher tiers as you progress. Aim for purple-tier gear for maximum stat boosts.

3. Skills and Mastery 

· Skills and mastery also contribute to your overall gear score. Prioritize leveling your key skills to purple and upgrading your Mastery to level 12. This will directly contribute to reaching 3,000 gear score.

Step 6: Lucent Gear (Coming in Part 2)

In the next video, I’ll show you how to make Lucent gear, which will help double your gear score progress. Lucent gear is essential for F2P players and will help you further accelerate your progress toward 3,000. Stay tuned for more details in Part 2.
