Thone and Liberty keeps getting constant updates, which means the systems in the game are rapidly changing as well. It is important to keep up-to-date with the Crafting System because it serves as the main avenue for most of your Gear and Skill upgrades – even if you get an armor piece dropped in a dungeon, you will need to craft Growthstones to upgrade it. In this article, we’ll delve into the Crafting System as it currently stands and explore the Lithograph Book—another key progression system in the game. Let’s get started!
Getting Started with Crafting
To begin crafting, the first step is deciding what type of item you want to craft—whether it’s accessories, weapons, or armor. Once you’ve made your choice, head to the appropriate crafter, located in any major town. Interact with them to bring up a selection of craftable items, sorted by type:
At the start of your journey, you’ll want to focus on crafting green-quality items. For example, if you’re looking to craft a Dagger or a Belt, you’ll need a green accessory recipe, which can be earned from open-world activities, contracts, or purchased from a contract vendor. The materials required will typically include a certain type of Leather/Ore/Wood, Magic Powder, and Polished Crystals.
Gathering and Preparing Materials
Crafting materials are acquired through various means. Polished Crystal is obtained from world drops as you progress through the game. Magic Powder comes from dissolving items, with higher-tier items yielding better quality powder that can then be dissolved further. Rune Leather can be collected from different mobs, while Mana Steel and Wood are gathered from nodes in the open world or from material chests received as quest rewards.
Gathering in Throne and Liberty is straightforward—just check your mini-map for resource nodes, approach them, and press F on the node to collect the materials.
The Crafting Process
Once you’ve gathered the necessary materials, you’re ready to craft. Let’s say you want to craft a Crude Energy Belt. You’ll need a random green recipe, Rune Leather, Magic Powder, and Polished Crystal. If your craft is successful, the item will be created.
Occasionally, you’ll achieve “Great Success” in crafting, indicated by a thick brown border around the item and the ability to sell it on the Auction House. The chance of this happening is typically around 20%, offering an early opportunity to earn Lucent.
As you progress, you’ll unlock the ability to craft blue and eventually purple items. For higher-tier items, you may need to combine lower-quality materials to create the required higher-quality versions. For example, combining five pieces of Quality Pure Gold can produce Rare Pure Gold, necessary for certain blue or purple recipes.
Crafting Litographs
In addition to crafting equipment, you can create Litographs—recipes that can be sold on the Auction House. To do this, you’ll need to extract the item into a Litograph by using blank Litographs, which can be crafted at the Armor, Weapons or Accessories crafter. Once you’ve crafted a blank Lithograph, you can infuse the item into it and sell the newly created recipe for profit on the Auction House.
The Lithograph Book: Collection System
The Lithograph Book is essentially a collection system that tracks the items you’ve crafted or acquired. Filling out various lines of “stickers” in this book by adding specific items will reward you with valuable gear, growth materials, and other resources. While many items can now be found in the open world, some will still need to be crafted to complete your collection.
Using the Litograph Book
As you collect or craft items, you’ll fill out lines in the Litograph Book. Completing a line allows you to claim rewards, such as upgraded gear or rare materials. For example, crafting a missing piece of gear to complete a line can yield a blue or even purple item, which you can use or “re-invest” back into the Lithograph book to complete another line.
The Lithograph Book becomes increasingly important as you progress through the game, eventually requiring you to collect powerful tier 2 armor pieces. These items are critical for high-level gameplay, so managing your collection and deciding when to use or sell the item vs. when to invest resources into the Lithograph is key.
