Throne and Liberty: Everything You Need to Know About the November 2024 Update and Patch 1.8
New Dungeons and Gear: November 21st and Beyond
Starting with November 21st, the game will see the release of Four Two-Star Dungeons, marking a new chapter for adventurers. These dungeons are set to offer a mix of gear rewards, though some key items will be missing—particularly Shadow Harvester trousers and Field General Greaves, which are scheduled to drop on December 5th. The new dungeons include:
· Carmine Rage Island
· Void Wastes Island
· Island of Terror
· Valley of Slaughter
Expect gear like Void Wastes arms, Island of Terror chest pieces, and Valley of Slaughter headpieces to be dropping from these dungeons. As per the Korean server updates, these additions will ensure that players can craft more specialized gear for their characters, with some unique, world boss-specific items along the way. However, be aware that World Boss weapons will not be included in this wave of updates.
Dimensional Trials: December 5th
A new feature coming to Throne and Liberty is the Dimensional Trials, scheduled for December 5th. This will offer players the chance to take on additional challenges with the possibility of greater rewards, although the exact nature of these rewards is still to be confirmed. The new dungeons will feature different difficulty tiers, with tougher bosses and new patterns to master. The trials will be designed to test your abilities to the limit while offering repeatable content for those seeking a constant challenge.
War Games: Custom Lobbies for Cross-Server Battles
The War Games feature will also be available starting December 5th. This mode will allow you to create custom lobbies for cross-server PvP battles. Expect a variety of modes for Conquest battles, where you can choose specific arena settings, number of teams, and the number of players per team. The Rift Stones and Boon Stones will play key roles in these events, introducing inter-server competition that will reward guilds for their dominance in these areas.
Notably, Rift Stones will correspond to boss fights with Sal loot drops, while Boon Stones will trigger dynamic events between servers, granting Lucent based on Auction House taxes. It's a great addition for guilds looking to dominate in cross-server events.
Cisum Sage: A New Mentor System
For those who love helping others, the Cisum Sage feature will allow players to mentor new adventurers, called Sprouts. By completing certain objectives, Sages (players who help) will gain a new status and be able to guide new players, offering a custom chat channel and displaying a unique icon on the mini-map. Both Sages and Sprouts will receive a title and a profile border to showcase their status. This is more about community engagement and socialization rather than in-game rewards, but it’s a welcome addition to the mentoring system.
Winter Event: Coming December 12th
Winter is coming to Throne and Liberty with an exciting Winter Event starting December 12th. This event will offer a variety of gifts and rewards for players, including special seasonal content, so make sure to log in to take advantage of the bonuses and celebrate the festive season in the world of Throne and Liberty.
Patch 1.8: Major Weapon and Skill Balances
Now, let’s dive into the most significant aspect of the November update: Patch 1.8. This patch introduces major changes to weapons, skills, and combat mechanics, ensuring the game feels more balanced and exciting. Here are some of the key changes:
Sword and Shield:
· Stalwart Bastion ability: Now has a specialization that reduces cooldown by 15 seconds (costs 5 specialization points).
· Blood Devotion (Great Sword): This ability has received a cooldown reduction of 15 seconds.
· Vital Force: The tool tip has been updated with the maximum HP limit to make it more effective.
Daggers:
· Vampiric Strike: The base damage and healing effects are being increased, making this an underused ability more viable in combat.
· Frenzy Sword Dance: This ability now applies 60% area damage within 3 meters, at the cost of 3 specialization points.
· Knife Throwing: The effectiveness of reducing healing is now boosted, making it a great option against healer-heavy teams in PvP.
Crossbows:
· Selfless Diffusion: The CC removal specialization has been moved to Mana Exchange, meaning a faster cooldown for CC removal, a massive advantage in PvP.
· Explosive Trap: This ability now has an increased base duration and specialization improvements.
· Multi-Shot: Now decreases the cooldown of Nimble Leap by 15 seconds, allowing for better mobility in battle.
Longbow:
· Healing Touch: The cooldown now shares with the Swift Healing skill from the Wand, meaning you’ll need to pick one or the other.
· Purifying Touch: Now clears all weakened effects, rather than just one, making it a better counter to debuff-heavy opponents.
· Devoted Shield: This has been buffed to create a 3C Shield when you drop below 30% health, with a 6,500 HP shield when maxed out.
Staff:
· Fire Bombs: New specialization to reduce healing effects on targets by 80%, another nerf to healer effectiveness in PvP.
· Chain Lightning: Now no longer ignores defense and resistances, improving its effectiveness.
· Infernal Meteor: Damage has been increased at max level, making this a devastating AoE spell.
· Frost Master: A new effect that inflicts frost on targets within 3 meters for 3 seconds, without stacking.
Wand:
· Cleansing: Major buff to Cleansing Salvation, which now removes all weakened stacks rather than just one.
· Ray of Disaster: Now transfers to a second target if the initial target dies, providing better AoE potential.
Minor Improvements and Bug Fixes
In addition to the major balance changes, Patch 1.8 also introduces some quality-of-life updates:
· Random matchmaking now supports 4-player parties for a more fun and cooperative experience.
· Alliance chat has been added to facilitate communication between guilds.
