NC's MMORPG 'Throne & Liberty (TL)' lowered the barrier to entry for co-op content and improved various rewards and quality-of-life features in its regular update on August 11.

The update introduces features to assist with co-op play, such as party readiness checks and countdowns, and expands the 'Clear' support buff previously available in Raids to Dimension and Challenge Dimension dungeons. Rewards for Arc Bosses, Field Bosses, and Guild Raids have been increased, and the Solant burden during the growth process has been significantly reduced.

First, several features have been added to support party play. Party leaders or raid leaders can now use the 'Party Readiness Check' to see the status of all party members in real-time. A 3-second party countdown has also been added before combat begins, making it easier to synchronize the start of a battle.

A feature has been added to share certain map icons directly via chat. Players can simply hover over a map icon and click the share button or use Alt+Left Click. The burden of failing co-op content has also been reduced; the 'Resolution of the Star Fragment' support buff, previously available only in Raids, now applies to Dimension and Challenge Dimension dungeons.

The buff is applied when a boss battle resets and can stack up to five times. Once applied, there is a 3-minute cooldown before the next buff can be received. In Challenge Dimension dungeons, this feature is available for Stage 1 only.

The 'Helping Hand' system, which supports new and returning players, has also been expanded. The additional rewards previously applied to co-op dungeons and Raids now extend to Challenge Dimension dungeons. Rewards are now granted not only when playing with new or returning characters but also when playing with characters below the designated combat power for each piece of content.

The base combat power thresholds are 6k for Elite Dimension, 7800 for Heroic Dimension, 8k for Challenge Dimension Stage 1, and 6k for standard Raids. Furthermore, rewards are now granted immediately upon boss elimination, rather than requiring players to open a chest. Additional rewards can be earned up to 30 times per week.

New collection content that utilizes existing equipment has been added. 160 types of 'Equipment Rubbings' have been introduced, which utilize equipment up to level 50 from before the Nix update.

These consist of 16 Common, 21 Rare, 31 Unique, and 92 Heroic types. Completing these rubbings rewards players with gems and polishing crystals, effectively allowing players to convert old equipment into new growth resources.

Boss content rewards have also been increased across the board. Players can now obtain three new pieces of equipment from the Arc Boss 'Ramus': 'Runed Bracers of the Lost Dynasty,' 'Heavenly Thunder's Flight,' and 'Two-Headed Dragon's Green Eye Ring.' Ten new skill cores have also been added to the drop list.

Weapon drop rates for Field Bosses in Talandre and the Nix region have been increased, and rewards from Talandre and Nix boss Guild Raids have also been boosted.

The Solant burden consumed during the growth process has been significantly reduced. The fees required to craft Trait Unlockstones and Trait Enhancement Stones have been reduced from 218180 Solant to 43k Solant—a reduction of approximately 80%.

Solant spent on crafting Trait Unlockstones and Trait Enhancement Stones between the Nix update and the August 11 maintenance will be refunded via mail.

Adjustments have been made to various weapon skills and skill cores. The elemental conditions required to trigger the Staff's 'Elemental Awakening' have been eased: the requirement for Fire has been reduced from 5 to 3, and for Lightning from 7 to 4, with corresponding adjustments to the cooldown reduction effect.

The Gauntlet's 'Heavy Strike' can now be used while moving. The 'Threat Suppression' effect for high-level attacks has been changed from a flat 1.6% increase in base damage to a scaling effect that increases base damage by up to 3.25% depending on the growth stage. Skills and skill cores for other weapons, including Two-Handed Swords, Swords, Wands, Crossbows, Daggers, Spears, and Magic Orbs, have also been adjusted.

System convenience has been improved. The inventory tab has been reclassified by item type: All, Equipment, Consumables, Materials, Sundries, Life, Artifacts, and Tokens. Amitoi Expeditions and Material Transformation have been added to acquisition information, making it easier to track how to obtain desired items.

Information regarding Nix surprise events can now be viewed on the mini-map, and search functions for appearance effects and emotes have been added to the Mirror Boutique.

Personal housing content has also been improved. A feature to randomly visit other players' homes has been added, and players can now use Solant to expand their housing purchase limit to up to six homes.

One extra-large house has been added to both Kastler Village and Vienta Village, and four new pieces of furniture themed after Gigantrite—a grandfather clock, a phonograph, a mini statue, and a desk lamp—have been introduced.
