Level 60 Boost Now Available for Existing Characters! Throne and Liberty

NCSOFT's MMORPG Throne and Liberty (TL) launched an update on November 11 to align with its global service integration, based on the Korean service schedule.

In this update, operational policies between NCSOFT and Amazon Games services have been unified, and Character Boost growth has been revamped to support existing characters. Both new and existing accounts receive one Character Boost Ticket each, allowing players to begin their adventure at Level 60 equipped with gear at approximately 9,000 Combat Power.

The Skill Core system has shifted from imprinting directly onto equipment to registering Cores to the character and equipping them in dedicated slots. Replacement costs have been eliminated, and 30 new Skill Cores as well as a method to craft targeted Cores of choice have been added.

Additionally, changes across the overall gameplay environment have been applied, including a Tower of Greed overhaul, simultaneous matchmaking for up to three contents, and the removal of Guild Alliances.

Existing Characters Boost to Level 60 with ~9,000 Combat Power Gear

The restriction requiring players to create a new character to use Character Boost growth has been eased.

Existing characters between Level 2 and 59 that have not completed "Conversation with Benny" under "A Welcome Ally" in Adventure Codex [Part 3 Chapter 1: The Forbidden Tome of the Order] can now use a Character Boost Ticket. Players simply select the target character and desired weapon combination on the Character Selection screen.

After boosting, characters receive Level 60 and equipment at approximately 9,000 Combat Power. Weapon Mastery for the two selected weapons is set to Level 200 each, and recommended combat settings—including Skill Specializations, Stats, and Runes—are applied automatically. Starter PvP equipment and 28 days of Blessing of Solisium are also provided.

Assets of existing characters are preserved. Equipped gear and items in regular inventory move to Storage, while Artifacts move to the Artifact Bag. However, equipment presets are completely reset, and Weapon Mastery Preset 1 for the selected weapons is replaced with the boost settings, so players should double-check before proceeding.

Both new and existing accounts receive one Character Boost Ticket per account. It can be used directly from the lobby without a separate claiming process, and the updated specifications also apply to previously held Character Boost Tickets.

Operational policies have also changed due to the global service integration. Following integration, regular maintenance takes place every Wednesday at 2:30 PM KST, with weekly content resets occurring on Wednesdays at 3:00 PM KST. The maximum character creation limit on NC services increases to six, and server transfers between service regions become available. However, transfer functionality will be restricted for a few days immediately following the update, and a 30-day cooldown applies after transferring.

Imprint & Extraction Costs Removed: Register Skill Cores and Swap Freely

The Skill Core system has been completely overhauled from imprinting directly onto equipment to registering Cores to the character.

Registered Cores can be equipped in dedicated slots via the new [Skill Core] tab added to the Skills menu. Once registered, equipping, changing, or unequipping Cores incurs no cost or usage limits, and Core configurations are retained even when switching gear. Skill Core Sets have also been added to allow saving and switching between Core configurations.

However, to receive the effects, players must equip Unique equipment in the corresponding slot that meets the required conditions. Placing the same Core into multiple slots does not stack its effect, and Core items used for registration are consumed, meaning they cannot be reverted back to item form or traded.

Cores previously imprinted onto Unique equipment are unequipped and returned via mail. For Archboss weapons, the system now awards the corresponding Skill Core upon completing the acquisition achievement. Characters that already own the weapon will have the corresponding Core automatically registered, while existing Archboss Cores will be recalled and registered, with the corresponding weapon sent via mail.

A total of 30 new armor and accessory Skill Cores have also been added, with three per weapon type. Core acquisition drop rates from Resin Flowers have been increased, and Tower of Greed has also been added as a Skill Core source. However, new Cores will not drop from Resin Flowers or Conquest Participation Reward Chests acquired prior to the update.

A method to select a desired Core has also been introduced. Through the "Stalon Resin Flower" crafting recipe, players can craft one Skill Core of their choice regardless of tier once per month per account. Crafted Cores cannot be traded, and a one-time supply of materials to support the first craft is available in the Special Shop for 100 Sollant for a limited time.

Tower of Greed Streamlined to 5 Floors; Simultaneous Matchmaking for Up to 3 Contents

With the new season, Tower of Greed has received updates to its sector structure and progression system.

The "Dusk of the Tower" sector has been removed, and the remaining sectors have been restructured into a 5-floor layout each. While climbing, players can obtain "Augments," special buff effects that apply exclusively inside the tower. Players can stack identical standard Augments to enhance them or choose "Chaotic Augments" to gain weapon Augments suited to their equipped weapons.

Resin Flowers have been added to the rewards, while drop quantities for Precious Marind Ore and Weapon Master Medals have been increased. New schedules for Dimensional Challenge, Gate of Infinity, Battlegrounds, and Hall of Illusions begin on November 11, along with the addition of 120 Nix Season 2 Lithograph Books.

The matchmaking feature has been revamped into "Integrated Matchmaking." Players can view content such as Battlegrounds and Rifts in one location and queue for up to three contents simultaneously. When queuing, players designate the combat settings to use upon entry, and when entering the content that all players accept first, those settings are automatically applied.

Matchmaking refusal rules have also changed. Rejecting a successful match three consecutive times incurs a penalty, whereas letting the acceptance timer expire—resulting in an automatic rejection—incurs a penalty after a single instance.

Guild Alliances have been removed. Related chat channels, notifications, and Set A resource production bonus effects from allied guilds owning Boonstones or Riftstones have also been eliminated. In combat balancing, stats scaling with Hit Chance were introduced for Longbow and Orb, while Dagger's "Execution" skill now deals massive damage to PvP targets that meet the conditions instead of instantly killing them.

The update celebration login bonus event "Nix's Converging Border" runs until December 15. It offers Calanthia Weapon, Armor, and Accessory Selection Chests along with growth materials, with a Talandre Archweapon Selection Chest available on Day 28.
