Artifact Rarity and Effects

Currently there are only three grades of artifacts in Throne and Liberty: Common, Uncommon, and Rare. The Rare (blue) artifacts are the best ones so far. All artifacts will give you base stats (similar to armor traits) such as evasion, heavy attack chance, and critical hit rate.

  • Tlar Stones: Provide only base stats.

  • Lunar Stone: Grants additional passive effects, such as a shield when blocking or stamina restoration when hit.

  • Solar Stone: Grants an active ability (e.g., a temporary shield or CC resistance boost), usable with a two-minute cooldown.

We need to mention that artifacts also belong to specific sets—equipping multiple pieces from the same set unlocks bonuses.

How to Get Artifacts in Throne and Liberty?

Artifacts can be obtained in two ways: Through the Abyss Dungeons and Nebula Island.

1. Abyss Dungeons

The most recent update introduces three new Abyss Dungeons. All enemies in them have a chance to drop Artifact Boxes, which contain various artifacts. Players can check dungeon loot tables to target specific artifacts before spending their Abyss Tokens.

2. Nebula Island

Nebula Island is an inter-server PvP area unlocked at level 55. Players can access it via the Lawless Wilds tab, which teleports them to the central Resistance Camp.

Get artifacts from monster drops, Nebula Recharge Stones, and Nebula Stones, which can be exchanged for additional gear and artifacts.
