Throne and Liberty 4.20.0 finishes NC transition and adds a free level 60 boost

Posted on by

Throne and Liberty Update 4.20.0 is the big service handoff patch, completing the Western transition from Amazon Game Studios to NC. Maintenance starts November 10 at 2:00 AM PT for players on the Amazon service, while the NC service goes down later that day at 12:00 PM PT.

The update also makes several account-wide and progression changes, including one free Character Boost Ticket for every new and existing account. Boosts now work on existing characters from level 2 to 59, not just fresh characters, and send them to level 60 with starter gear, two chosen weapons, roughly 9,000 Combat Power, Weapon Mastery level 200 for both weapons, level 100 weapon and accessory Runes, unlocked Waypoints across Laslan, Stonegard, and Talandre, and 28 days of Blessing of Solisium.

  • Weekly maintenance is moving to Wednesdays at 05:30 UTC, with weekly content resets at 06:00 UTC.
  • Server Transfers will be disabled for a few days after the patch, then remain available with a 30-day cooldown. Cross-region transfers are now supported.
  • The character limit is increasing to six per account.
  • Language, control, sound, and graphics settings will reset to defaults on first launch after the update.
  • Characters given temporary names during the service integration will have social features restricted until they use the mailed Name Change Ticket.

Skill Cores are getting a major rework, too. They’re no longer engraved onto equipment. Instead, they’re registered to the character and equipped in dedicated slots, with no imprint or extraction costs. Existing Skill Cores on Heroic gear will be returned by mail, related scrolls are being removed and compensated, and Archboss Skill Cores will be registered automatically alongside their Archboss weapons.

NCSoft is also adding 30 armor and accessory Skill Cores, increasing Skill Core drop rates, adding them to Tower of Greed rewards, and introducing a monthly Stalon Resin Flower recipe that lets players pick a guaranteed Skill Core.

Elsewhere, Guild Alliances are being removed. Tower of Greed is being condensed into 5-floor areas with a tower-only Augment system and a new season beginning November 11. New seasons are also coming for Dimensional Trials, Gate of Infinity, Battlegrounds, and Hall of Illusion.

The transition event, Nix’s Converging Border, runs from November 11 to December 15 with 35 days of login rewards, including Calanthia selection chests and a Talandre Archweapon Selection Chest. Event Pass: Throne’s Bounty IV will be available from November 11 to 25.
