Throne and Liberty's recent 1.6 update brings some exciting new content to the game, including new cosmetic items, transformations, and changes to the loot distribution system. Let's take a closer look at what's new and how you can use these updates to maximize your experience.
New Cosmetic Morphs: Dash and Swim Morphs
One of the standout features of this update is the introduction of new morphs in the shop. Dash Morph and Swim Morph have been added, both priced at 750 Throne and Liberty Lucent each. These morphs may look similar to gliding abilities at first glance, but here's the catch: the Dash Morph does not allow you to glide; instead, it provides a burst of speed (think of it as a short dash rather than actual flight). Don’t get confused by the icon—it’s a dash, not a glide.
· Dash Morph: Provides three growth points, which can help improve your mount speed. While it’s a neat cosmetic, it’s important to note that it’s not a must-have for progressing in the game, especially if you are more focused on character growth.
· Swim Morph: Similarly priced at 750 Lucent, this morph helps you level up your swimming abilities and gives you three growth points for swimming speed. But, just like the Dash Morph, it’s not a priority unless you’re after the cosmetic effect and minor improvements in movement.
Both morphs are visually appealing, but as a free-to-play player, it's important to remember that Lucent is better spent on character progression rather than cosmetics, especially when you’re focused on leveling up.
New Amaty Pets: Imperator Ozik and Forest Amaty
In addition to the morphs, Update 1.6 also introduced two new Amaty pets, which are useful for enhancing your mount effects and helping with gathering. These pets, however, will not contribute to your Pile Synergy (which is a more essential stat for loot drops).
1. Imperator Ozik (600 Lucent): This pet helps with gathering in the Ruins region, making it useful for players who frequently farm in that area. However, it doesn’t offer much in terms of synergy, so it’s not necessarily a top priority.
2. Forest Amaty (400 Lucent): This little guy boosts gathering in the Forest region, and while his mount effects can be useful for collection, he’s similarly low-priority compared to other more impactful pets in the game.
While these pets can be fun to collect and add some extra benefits to your character’s gathering, you may want to focus on more practical pets that enhance your Pile Synergy or help you maximize loot drops.
New Outfit: A Stylish Cosmetic
Another highlight of the update is the addition of a new outfit, available for 900 Lucent. It’s a stylish set with customizable colors, so if you enjoy experimenting with character cosmetics, this could be a fun purchase. The outfit has a cool design, though the shoulders might not appeal to everyone, and you can adjust the colors to fit your personal taste.
However, as with the morphs, this is a purely cosmetic item and doesn’t provide any gameplay advantages, so it’s best left to players who enjoy dressing up their characters.
Loot Distribution Changes: Contribution System
One of the more significant updates in 1.6 is the improvement to the loot distribution system, especially in Field Boss encounters. The loot is now contribution-based, meaning the more damage and healing you do during a boss fight, the higher your chance of getting rewarded with exclusive loot.
· Contribution Rewards: Players who contribute the most (through damage or healing) are more likely to get a share of the drops. However, there’s still a random drop involved, so you could get something rare, like a Sword or a Mask, but your chances depend on how much you’ve contributed.
This system encourages players to maximize their performance during boss fights, ensuring that those who invest more effort into the encounter get rewarded. Maxed-out characters will naturally have an advantage here, so it’s a good incentive for players to progress and level up their builds.
New Events Coming Soon: Tax Delivery and Castle Siege
Looking ahead, there are some exciting events coming up in Throne and Liberty, particularly the Tax Delivery and Castle Siege events. These events will be critical for guilds, as they come with some high stakes rewards—including over 92,000 Lucent and 5.2 billion Solent depending on your server’s outcome.
· Tax Delivery Event: This event is a massive opportunity for guilds to earn Lucent, and you’ll need to be part of a well-coordinated group to maximize your chances.
· Castle Siege: Another competitive event where guilds will face off for supremacy, with significant rewards up for grabs.
Final Thoughts: Free-to-Play vs. Paying for Cosmetics
While the cosmetics introduced in this update are undeniably cool, for players focused on progression and free-to-play playstyles, it's crucial to spend cheap TL Lucent wisely. Prioritize character upgrades and growth over aesthetics, especially when items like the Dash Morph and Swim Morph don’t provide significant gameplay advantages. However, if you enjoy cosmetic items and want to support the game, these new additions can be a fun way to personalize your character. Ultimately, Throne and Liberty continues to evolve with each update, offering both practical gameplay improvements and cosmetic options. Whether you're focused on grinding for loot, progressing your character, or collecting stylish outfits and morphs, there's always something new to explore. Keep an eye out for upcoming events, and happy adventuring!
