Throne and Liberty: Preparing for Tier 2 Gear Upgrades

With the highly anticipated Tier 2 gear update just around the corner, it’s time to start preparing for the grind that comes with upgrading your gear to Level 12. The process involves an abundance of Groth Stones and Solent, and understanding exactly how many you’ll need to level up your weapons, armor, and accessories will make your preparation much smoother. If you're looking to expedite your progress, you might want to consider options to buy Throne and Liberty Lucent, which can provide additional resources for your upgrades. In this guide, I’ll walk you through everything you need to know, including how to gather Groth Stones, manage Solent, and which materials are essential for this upgrade.



1. Understanding Groth Stones and How to Use Them

Groth Stones are the primary material required to upgrade your gear in Throne and Liberty. To begin with, it’s essential to understand how much Groth Stone is needed for each upgrade and how the probability system works.

How Much Groth Stone Do You Need for Each Upgrade?

· From Level 0 to Level 1: 2 Groth Stones per click.

· From Level 1 to Level 2: 4 Groth Stones per click.

· From Level 6 to Level 7: 16 Groth Stones per click.

· From Level 11 to Level 12: 24 Groth Stones per click.

The more you progress through the levels, the more Groth Stones you’ll need per click.

You’ll notice that as you level up, the chances of success vary. The base chance at Level 1 could be as low as 10%, while at higher levels, the success rate increases (with a chance for a “special upgrade,” which provides a significant XP boost).

Total Groth Stones to Max Out a Gear Piece

If you were to start from Level 0 and upgrade all the way to Level 12, it would require approximately 528 Groth Stones to max out one gear piece (weapons, armor, or accessories). However, there is a way to reduce this cost, which brings us to the next step: Transferring Your Gear.

2. Transferring Gear to Maximize Efficiency

When you upgrade your gear to Tier 2, you can transfer your maxed-out Tier 1 equipment to your new Tier 2 gear. The gear piece will automatically be upgraded to Level 6, saving you a significant amount of Groth Stones.

To clarify, if you have a fully maxed-out Tier 1 gear piece (Level 9 with one trait), it will transfer to the new Tier 2 gear with 240 blessings (which is double the standard amount). You will also receive 2,640 BL, which helps further improve your gear’s traits.

Once transferred, your gear will begin at Level 6, and you will no longer need to go through the early upgrades (Level 0-5), significantly cutting down the number of Groth Stones required.

Groth Stones Needed After Transferring Gear

· Weapons: 840 Groth Stones.

· Armor: 2,500 Groth Stones.

· Accessories: 2,100 Groth Stones.

These values assume you're transferring a maxed-out piece of Tier 1 gear into your Tier 2 gear.

3. How to Gather Groth Stones

There are several ways to gather Groth Stones in Throne and Liberty. Here are some of the most effective methods:

· Crafting: One of the primary ways to obtain Groth Stones is through crafting. However, crafting Groth Stones requires a significant number of Polished Crystals, which can be a challenge to gather in large quantities.

· Polished Crystals: As a pay-to-win player, you may be tempted to buy Polished Crystals from the auction house, which are essential for crafting Groth Stones. These crystals can also drop when defeating bosses or completing Abyss Dungeons.

· Abyssal Dungeons: You can also farm for Polished Crystals in Abyssal Dungeons. The sixth floor of the Silus Abyss is particularly good for farming.

· Ornate Coin Shop: Groth Stones can be purchased in the Ornate Coin Shop after resetting, and you can also get them from quests, the Battle Pass, or Tel's Tower.

· Resistance Contracts and Co-Op Dungeons: Completing Resistance Contracts and Co-Op Dungeons will give you precious materials, including Polished Crystals. Keep in mind that Polished Crystals are critical for crafting the Groth Stones.

4. Managing Solent for Upgrades

While Groth Stones are essential for upgrading your gear, Solent is just as important, especially when it comes to leveling up your equipment.

Solent Breakdown for Upgrades:

· Level 6 to 12 Gear Upgrade Cost: The Solent cost increases significantly as you level up each piece of equipment. By the time you reach Level 12, the cost will exceed 337,000 Solent just for a single upgrade.

· Total Solent for Full Gear Set: To upgrade a full Tier 2 set of weapons, armor, and accessories, you will need over 70 million Solent. This includes crafting Groth Stones and transferring your gear.

Solent Farming Tips:

· Use Abyssal Contract Tokens efficiently in Abyss Dungeons, particularly the Sixth Floor of Silus Abyss.

· Always use Mastery Buffs (like Bird Eggs or Apple Pie) to increase your chances of earning Solent.

· Don’t forget about your Battle Pass abundance fruits, which offer 30% Solent boosts.

· Make sure to sell unnecessary gear that drops in dungeons for additional Solent.

5. Preparing for Tier 2 Gear: Weapons vs. Armor

While it’s tempting to focus on upgrading your armor and accessories, I highly recommend prioritizing weapons first. Weapons are crucial as they provide the base damage that significantly boosts your overall performance. Upgrading your weapon to Level 12 should be your top priority.

· Weapons: They are the most efficient to upgrade in terms of damage output, and upgrading them first will give you the biggest impact.

· Armor and Accessories: After your weapon is sorted, focus on upgrading your armor and accessories.

6. Final Thoughts

Upgrading to Tier 2 gear in Throne and Liberty will require a substantial investment of both Groth Stones and Solent. The key to success is preparation. Start farming materials now, focus on crafting Groth Stones, and make sure you’re gathering Solent from every available source. If you're looking to speed up the process, consider buying TL Lucent from reputable sources like MMOEXP, as this can significantly aid your resource gathering. While this guide provides an estimate of the required resources, keep in mind that the actual amounts needed can fluctuate depending on luck and success rates. By transferring your Tier 1 gear to your Tier 2 gear at Level 6, you can save a significant amount of Groth Stones. Good luck with your upgrades, and may your preparation pay off when the Tier 2 update drops!
