Posted on

Welcome to this guide on how to farm Lucent for free in Throne and Liberty! If you're looking to avoid spending real money in the game, this guide will walk you through the most effective ways to earn Lucent, which you can then use in the in-game cash shop to purchase skins, toys, morphs, and other useful materials—all free to play.

Why Farm Lucent?

Lucent is the primary currency in Throne and Liberty, and if you're trying to stay 100% free-to-play, you'll want to maximize your Lucent earnings. Lucent can be used to buy in-game items, cosmetics, and even powerful gear. The best part? You can earn all of this without spending a dime!

Main Methods for Earning Lucent

There are two main methods for earning Lucent in the game:

  1. Crafting Lithographs
  2. Extracting Traits from Items

Let's dive into the details of each method.

1. Crafting Lithographs

Lithographs are one of the best ways to earn Lucent. Lithographs allow you to turn an item (weapon, armor, or accessory) into a craftable blueprint, which can then be sold on the marketplace for Lucent.

How to Craft Lithographs

  • First, head to the Crafting Tab in the game.
  • You can craft blank lithographs for weapons, armor, and accessories. Blue items can also be crafted into lithographs.

  • Once crafted, these lithographs can be registered and sold on the marketplace.

Selling Lithographs

To sell your lithographs for Lucent:

  1. Check the Auction House for the current prices of lithographs. For example, rare items from bosses can often be turned into valuable lithographs.
  2. If you get a rare drop, check if it’s worth selling as a lithograph by comparing prices in the auction house.
  3. Once you’ve crafted the lithograph, list it for a competitive price. Keep an eye on the marketplace, as prices can fluctuate due to supply and demand.

Example: I recently crafted and sold a lithograph for the Gauntlet L of Infernal Herald for 580 Lucent. After the tax deduction, I earned 452 Lucent.

Important Materials for Lithographs

One of the key materials you’ll need for crafting lithographs is Enchanted Ink. You can obtain this through:

  • The Ornate Coin Shop (more on that later).
  • The Contract Merchant, where you can purchase Enchanted Ink with currency earned from completing contracts.

2. Extracting Traits from Items

Another great way to earn Lucent is by extracting traits from items and selling them. Traits are unique stats that can be unlocked and sold on the marketplace.

How to Extract Traits

  • Use Trait Extraction Stones (which can be bought from the Contract Merchant or the Ornate Coin Shop).
  • Once you have Trait Extraction Stones, you can extract traits from your gear and list them on the marketplace for Lucent.

Example: I extracted a Skill Damage Boost trait from a necklace, which sold for 119 Lucent on the marketplace.

Finding Valuable Traits

To determine if a trait is worth extracting and selling:

  1. Go to the Auction House.
  2. Search for the item or trait to see its current price.
  3. If the trait is valuable, extract it and sell it.

Tip: Always check the marketplace before extracting traits. Some traits are more valuable than others, and prices can vary based on demand.

Marketplace Tips and Tricks

  • Pay Attention to the Marketplace: Prices fluctuate frequently, so regularly check the auction house for the latest trends.
  • Undercutting: If you’re trying to sell a lithograph or trait quickly, consider undercutting the current lowest price.
  • Marketplace Tax: Keep in mind that the marketplace applies a 22% tax on all sales. Be sure to factor this in when pricing your items.

Using Ornate Coins to Buy Enchanted Ink and Trait Extraction Stones

Ornate Coins are another currency in Throne and Liberty that can help you gear up for free. You can use these coins to buy important items like Enchanted Ink and Trait Extraction Stones.

How to Get Ornate Coins

  • Mail Rewards: Sometimes, the developers will send Ornate Coins directly to your in-game mail.
  • Collection Codex: Complete collection items (like purple pages scattered around the world) to earn Ornate Coins.
  • Discord Quests: Occasionally, Throne and Liberty will offer quests through Discord that reward Ornate Coins. For example, playing the game for 15 minutes might net you 100 coins.

Bonus Tips: Efficient Lucent Farming

If you’re serious about maximizing your Lucent, here are a few more tips:

1. Alt Characters

Creating and using alt characters can help you farm Lucent faster. Lucent is sharable across all characters on your account, so you can farm on multiple characters and transfer the Lucent to your main.

2. Dungeon Runs and World Bosses

Participating in dungeon runs and world bosses can reward you with rare items, which can then be turned into lithographs or sold as-is on the marketplace.

3. Cooking

If you enjoy crafting, cooking can also be a decent way to earn Lucent. When you cook meals, you have a chance to proc a Great Success, which creates a higher-quality meal that can be sold on the marketplace for Lucent.

Farming Lucent in Throne and Liberty is all about understanding the marketplace, crafting lithographs, and extracting valuable traits. By following the methods outlined in this guide, you can gear up for free and avoid the game’s pay-to-win elements.

Remember to keep an eye on the auction house, participate in world bosses, and use alt characters if you want to maximize your earnings. With a bit of patience and strategy, you'll be swimming in Lucent in no time!
