Throne and Liberty adds Artifact system in latest update

Throne and Liberty’s latest update adds what the game calls “cumulative growth content,” which boils down to a new long-term progression system: Artifacts. It’s meant to give players another way to build up their characters over time beyond existing gear and progression tracks.

The new system lets players equip Artifacts to gain extra stats and effects, adding another layer to character building in NCSoft’s MMO. The patch is live now, so players can start working on that progression immediately.

This looks like a fairly straightforward endgame-style addition for people who want more ways to strengthen a character over the long haul. If you’ve already been keeping up with Throne and Liberty’s gear grind, Artifacts seem positioned as another system to chase rather than a major shake-up to the game’s core combat or structure.

The source material doesn’t include much more detail than the broad outline, so specifics on how Artifacts are earned, upgraded, or limited aren’t clear here. But the headline change is simple enough: there’s a new progression layer in the game, and it’s focused on cumulative character growth.
