Throne And Liberty: How To Unlock Traits

Traits are invaluable in Throne And Liberty. They improve your gear significantly in an area of your choosing, from increased Hit Chance for weaponry to increased Mana Regen, Sleep Resistance, and more for armor and accessories. Traits are so important that a player in fully-traited Rare gear is more powerful in PvP than a player with un-traited Purple gear.

Throne And Liberty: Complete Endgame Guide

As the old saying goes, now you can actually play the game. This is a full endgame guide on what to do after you reach level 50 in Throne And Liberty.

This guide covers how to unlock traits, how to get the traits you need for your gear, as well as some of the overall best traits depending on your build.

How To Unlock Traits

There are two ways to unlock new traits on a piece of gear, whether that's a weapon, an armor piece, or an accessory.

Extracts

First, you can purchase an Extract from the Auction House of the same item with a different trait.

Then head into the Upgrade screen for the piece you want to trait, click on Trait, and you can now transfer the trait from the Extract onto your chosen piece.

The Extract must be on the exact same type of gear. For example, to add Heavy Attack to a Karnix' Netherbow you will need a trait Extract of Heavy Attack on a Netherbow.

You can create Extracts of your own gear using Trait Extraction Stones. This means you can turn an untradable item into a tradable Extract. If you find a valuable trait on gear that you aren't using - let's say you don't need any more Heavy Attack - you can sell these on the Auction House to start making some Lucent.

Unlockstones

Secondly, you can use Trait Unlockstones to selectively choose which trait you want to add. Often, this might be a cheaper alternative to purchasing a matching Extract from the auction house. However, Trait Unlockstones are not common, and you should choose wisely when it comes to using them.

One of the best ways to get Trait Unlockstones is to hunt for Mystic Portals and Mystic Globes as they have a chance to offer them. You can also get Unlockstones as an alternative reward from the Weekly Mission tab if you don't want to select a gear reward.

Trait Conversion

Trait Conversion is where you gamble on a trait roll on a piece of gear. Take these boots, which we are trying to change from Ranged Evasion to another trait.

We can spend 20 Trait Conversion Stones with a chance to roll a new trait. You can view the percentage chance of these rolls on the right side of the screen.

Gear Progression

Gear progression works slightly differently in Throne And Liberty compared to other MMOs. Rather than wearing un-traited Purple gear when you first get a good drop for your build, it's a better option to fully trait a piece of Blue gear first and then transfer the Blue item into the Purple item.

Not only is it much cheaper to trait a Blue item than a Purple one, you will also receive a Blessing chance on the Purple item based on the traits that you've transferred. This means you might be able to trait a Purple item with Blue traits.

Blessing Chance

When you transfer a Blue trait into a Purple trait, you get a 10% Blessing chance. When this reaches 100%, you receive a 100% chance of a Blue trait fully upgrading a Purple trait. In some cases, this actually works out cheaper than purchasing a Purple Extract.

This is particularly useful if you get Blue drops from farming that match the traits on the gear you want to upgrade.
