Throne and Liberty Traits

Managing your Traits in Throne and Liberty is an important process of upgrading your Gear and Character Progression! Traits can further enhance your Build by adding extra effects to your Armor and Weapons. The process of adding and changing gear Traits is simple and straightforward but time consuming and costly. Managing your Traits is the real end game for character progression in Throne and Liberty, vital to become stronger and able to tackle harder content. For the Best PVE Weapons you can take a look at my Best Weapons Tier List!

What are Traits in Throne and Liberty

Traits are additional Stats every piece of gear has in Throne and Liberty. Depending on the quality of the gear, you can unlock two or more Traits in every piece. Green(Uncommon) Gear for example offers two Traits, Blue(Rare) gear on the other hand offers three.

When you drop or craft a gear piece it comes with a random Trait while the other Trait slots are locked. You can use Traits from other gear to change Traits, level them up or unlock new Trait Slots in your preferred gear piece. You can even Swap your existing Traits with other, that will work better with your Build.

Getting the right Traits for the right gear can help you become stronger and allow you to participate in endgame activities with success. Every Gear piece can only have specific types of Traits on it. You can check the Traits you can get on every piece of Gear by clicking on the item in your inventory and selecting the Traits List option. The easiest way to unlock all Traits early in your Weapon, is with the help of the Special Crafter Arless!

How Traits Work in Throne and Liberty

It is possible to level up a Trait, swap it to another one and even unlock new Traits for your preferred gear.

How to Level Up a Trait

To Level up a Trait you need the exact same Trait on a similar piece of gear. The quality of the gear affects the success of leveling up your desired Trait. If the gear is of the same quality as the one you wish to level up, then the success rate is 100%! If it is a lower quality item though, then you will only have a 10% success. Failing to level up a Trait, gives the item a Blessing. You can add this blessing the next time you try to level up your Trait, in order to increase your success rate.

How to Extract Traits

Extracting Traits is another way of managing your gear in Throne and Liberty. If you have an item with a good Trait that you do not wish to use, you can extract its Trait and use it to level up the Trait on the Weapon or Armor of your choice. Alternatively you can sell the extracted Trait to the Auction House to earn Lucent!

To extract a Trait from an item, you will need special Trait Extraction Stones. You can buy those from the Contract Coin Merchant(limited number every Week) or get them as reward from a variety of activities in the game, like Mystic Portals.

How to add a New Trait

Adding a new trait to your gear is simple as well but costly! To unlock a new Trait slot in your favorite gear you will need the same gear piece with the Trait you wish to add. Adding the Trait destroys the extra gear piece. Alternatively you can unlock a new Trait Selectively(pick the Trait you wish to unlock) with the use of Trait Unlockstones!

How to Swap your Traits

It is possible to Swap the Traits in your gear if you wish. There are two ways you can achieve that. If you have a matching piece of equipment to the gear you wish to swap Traits, then you can use that piece along with Trait Conversion Stones! If you do not have in your possession a matching piece of equipment then you can use a combination of Trait Unlockstones and Trait Conversion Stones to get the Trait you wish! You can buy Trait Conversion Stones(limited number every Week) from the Guild Merchant with Guild Coins! Alternatively you can get those from Mystic Globes and Dynamic Events.

What is the Trait Unlockstone in Throne and Liberty?

The Trait Unlockstone is a special item that allows you to unlock or replace existing Traits without the need of a piece of gear! From your Traits menu you can pick the Unlock Trait Selectively option on an empty Trait slot and pick your favorite Trait to add. You will need many Unlockstones and a hefty amount of Sollant to add a new Trait with this method but if you do have all the items required you can add the Traits of your choice faster!

You can also use these Stones in order to swap the existing Traits of your gear with other of your choice. To convert one Trait to another you will also need the appropriate Trait Conversion Stones. The new Trait will start from the first Tier in this case. You can earn Trait Unlockstones by completing achievements in your Lithograph Book or getting them randomly as reward from Mystic Portals and Dynamic Events!

What is Resonance in Throne and Liberty?

Resonance is an additional effect you can get on gear pieces with full Traits in Throne and Liberty! You could consider it as an extra Trait, that unlocks when you have fully unlocked and leveled up your gear Traits! The Resonance you unlock first is random but you can control it with Trait Resonance Stones! You can craft Trait Resonance Stones with Trait Resonance Stone Fragments you get from the Substance Transformation System in Throne and Liberty.
