What is Lucent?

Lucent is a premium currency in Throne and Liberty that players can obtain primarily through real-money purchases. However, it can also be earned in-game by selling valuable items like Traits and Lithographs. So how to spend Lucent, and what is it used for? Lucent is essential for several in-game functions, such as purchasing cosmetic items, enhancing equipment, and trading on the Auction House. Players use Lucent to buy items that are not typically available through regular gameplay, including powerful gear, rare traits, and materials that can boost a character’s performance.

In Throne and Liberty, Lucent also plays a significant role in customizing a character’s appearance and obtaining high-tier cosmetics. For players who want to excel in PvE or PvP content, Lucent provides a shortcut to acquiring valuable traits and equipment, which are crucial for staying competitive. Therefore, Lucent serves both as a convenience for obtaining rare in-game items and as a premium currency for luxury or aesthetic purposes, enhancing the player experience overall​. In the next section, we’ll answer questions like where to get Lucent from and how to do so more efficiently.

Making Lucent from Traits

There is the simplest answer to the question of how to get Lucent in Throne and Liberty. Traits are one of the most reliable ways to earn Lucent. This is the most beginner-friendly method that involves item trait extraction, which allows you to destroy an item and receive an auctionable scroll in return. Not all traits are valued equally, and it's important to check current prices through the auction house by clicking the Little Auction House icon next to the trait in question. You can then sell the scroll at a competitive price.

When looking to sell traits, you’ll want to focus on pieces of gear that offer high-value traits such as melee evasion, max health, and critical hit chance on weapons. These tend to sell for the most on the auction house.

To check how much a specific trait is worth, head to the auction house, search for the trait, and check the current selling prices. Let’s break down the steps:

1. Extracting Traits: Start by grinding gear from Abyssal dungeons or other activities. When you’re ready, go to the trait extraction screen, pick the item, and choose the trait you want to extract.
2. Auction House Search: After selecting the trait, search the auction house to see its current value. For example, health regeneration might sell for 10 Lucent, while something more valuable, like melee evasion, could go for 80 or more.
3. Understanding Costs: For green gear, extracting a trait costs one trait extraction stone. This means you’ll want to sell any trait for at least 10 Lucent to break even. Blue gear takes five extraction stones, so aim to sell the trait for at least 50 Lucent.
4. Selling Traits: Once extracted, list the trait on the auction house. Keep in mind that you can only set the total price, not the price per unit, which defaults to increments of 10 Lucent.

Here’s an example: Melee Evasion on blue gear might sell for 87 Lucent. Since it costs five trait extraction stones, this is a great return if you’re not sure which traits are the best traits for making Lucent, experiment by checking the auction house prices for items like Max Health or Skill Damage Resistance, which can sell for significantly more.

How to Get Trait Extraction Stones

Here's how to extract traits in Throne & Liberty: you’ll need trait extraction stones, and the great part is you can grab them without spending any real money. You can snag these stones from the battle pass, check out the Zenus Star shop, visit the contract coin merchant, or even collect Ornate Coins while you’re at it. These coins can be found by collecting mysterious books, Codex pages, or through Twitch drops, and the game often sends them as free rewards in your mail. 

 

The contract coin merchant offers trait extraction stones at a weekly limit of 420, for a low cost of 7 coins each. Additionally, Mystic Keys can be used to open Mystic Globes, which also provide trait extraction stones.

In short, trait extraction stones are key to this process, so knowing how to farm them efficiently is essential. They can be obtained from:

• Dungeons: Completing various dungeons will reward you with these stones.
• Codex Quests: Completing specific quest objectives.
• Mystic Keys and Mystic Portals: Randomly generated events in the game.
• Merchants: You can also buy trait extraction stones from the contract coin merchant, who offers up to 420 stones weekly.

It’s also possible to purchase extraction stones with Lucent, which you can gather from events and other activities. It’s a good idea to stock up on these, as traits currently sell for quite a bit.

While many players farm dungeons like the Shadow Crypt at level 50 for gear, farming lower-level dungeons like Abyss Second Floor offers better drop rates for green items, which are ideal for extracting traits. Higher-level dungeons like the Shadow Crypt also provide valuable precious gems, which can be sold for considerable amounts of Lucent. So, as you can see this really is one of the best ways to earn Lucent that can even be used by new players who are still learning the ropes.

Making Lucent from Lithographs

Lithographs offer another lucrative way to earn Lucent, particularly when you have purple weapons or armor that can’t be sold directly on the auction house. By turning these into lithographs, you can sell the item for much more than the value of any traits it may carry.

Crafting Lithographs

To craft lithographs, you’ll need specific materials. Here's what to do:

• Gather Materials: You will need:
  
  • 20 Parchment
  • 50 Enchanted Ink
  • 20 Manasteel
  • 10 Precious Rubrix
  • 10 Polished Crystals

Most of these materials drop from various activities, such as dungeons, or can be crafted, like parchment, which is relatively easy to obtain.

• Obtaining Enchanted Ink: This is a little harder to get. You can purchase it from the contract coin merchant or the ornate coin shop, where 100 units are available monthly.
• Precious Manasteel and Rubrix: These are rarer and can either be bought or gathered from the world. You can also buy precious base material selection chests from your guild merchant daily, which helps in making lithographs.

Once you’ve gathered all the necessary materials, craft a blank lithograph for weapons or armor at the purple weapons crafter. You can then sell the lithograph on the auction house, often for significantly more than what the item would sell for on its own.

Valuing Lithographs

Before you invest in crafting lithographs, make sure the weapon or armor you plan to sell is worth it. In other words, determine the best lithographs for Lucent. For example, if a lithograph is selling for around 2,000 Lucent and the materials cost close to that, it may not be worth the effort. However, weapons like the Shock Commander Plate Armor can sell for up to 28,000 Lucent, making it an excellent option.

Making Lucent from Food

Lastly, cooking and selling food can also be a viable way to make Lucent, especially once you level up your cooking skill. Specific foods, like the rare fish steak and rare tender meat with pine mushrooms, can sell for as much as 120 Lucent. All you gotta do is find the most valued Lucent food combinations.

Leveling Up Cooking

Start by cooking items that give the highest XP. For example, wild game steak offers 22 XP per cook, making it a great option. To craft this, you’ll need ingredients like black pig pork, which can be gathered or bought. Don’t forget to stock up on basic ingredients such as tomatoes, honey, golden root, and eggs from the merchant every day, as they are limited in quantity.

Festival Food

Do you know what else is considered the best food for Lucent? Festival food also sells well, often more than regular items. Keep an eye out for these special items during events, and make sure to take advantage of them to earn additional Lucent.

Conclusion

By using traits, lithographs, and food crafting, you can diversify your approach to making Lucent in the game. Whether you’re focusing on auction house sales or crafting valuable lithographs, each method offers substantial earning potential if done correctly. Keep farming materials, grinding dungeons, and checking the auction house to stay on top of the market and maximize your earnings.
