Throne and Liberty: How to Unlock, Use and Extract Traits

Traits are one of the most important things your equipment can have in Throne and Liberty, so it’s important to know how to unlock, use, and extract them.

Managing Traits is vital to make the most of your build, but they can be hard to grasp with so many mechanics attached to them…

In this guide, we’ll tell you every single thing you can do with Traits so that you can make your gear the best it can be.

How to Use and Level Traits – The Basics

Every piece of equipment you have will have up to three different Traits, with the vast majority of loot default to only having one unlocked from the start.

However, a lot of gear has no Traits from the get-go. You can still unlock them, of course, which we’ll cover later in this guide.

Anyway, Traits are essentially just extra stats your equipment has. They are all passive buffs such as increasing your Max Health or granting a Damage Bonus, for example.

So, in a way, you don’t need to do anything special to use them! Just equip the gear that has the Traits and you’re good to go.

What you can do is increase their levels by using the “Trait” section of the “Equipment Enchanting” menu. Just press the “.” key to open the menu!

To level up a Trait, you first need to select the equipment with the Trait you want to level up. Then, select the Trait you wish to level up from the left side of the screen. In the example, the player is going to level up the Magic Endurance trait on their leggings.

Then, you need to select any other equipment or Extract you have that has the exact same Trait. We’ll call this a “donor item”, and eligible items appear on the right side of the screen. After that, just click “Enchant” and pay the fee in Gold to level up the Trait.

Do note that the donor item has to be of the same or lower rarity as your base item.

This does have a chance to fail if the donor item is of a lower rarity. Failure will destroy the donor item without leveling the Trait! But it’s not all that bad, as it will give your equipment Blessing Points! You can use Blessing Points to increase Success Chance in future attempts.

You can guarantee a successful Trait Level Up by using donor items or Extracts that match your item’s rarity. Using lower rarity gear will have a 10% base success chance.

Speaking of Extracts, you can make your own using your gear. We’ll cover that at the end of this guide, so keep an eye out for that!

Now, let’s go over how to unlock more Traits for your equipment.

How to Unlock Extra Traits

As said before, equipment can have up to three different Traits. However, you almost always need to unlock at least 2 of those.

There are two different methods for unlocking additional Traits on your equipment. The first is to use Trait Unlockstones, which are rare stones that can only be used on Epic-tier equipment. You can get Trait Unlockstones mostly by completing Mystic Portals, Codex quests, and the Ornate Coin shop.

To use them, just select the equipment you wish to unlock Traits for in the Trait section of the Equipment Enchanting screen. Then, click on “Unlock Trait Selectively” and pick the Trait you want. Do be warned, though, this costs a lot of stones!

For the second method, you’ll need either an exact duplicate of your equipment that has the Trait you want or an Extract of the item and Trait. For example, to unlock a new Trait for your Elite Resistance Hood, you’ll need another Elite Resistance Hood with the Trait you want or an Extract of it.

The unlock process works the same as the level-up process, just without a fail chance. Just select the item you want to unlock a new Trait for in “Equipment Enchanting” and then select the donor item you want to use.

Make sure to use the Trait Unlock system to get up to three powerful Traits on your equipment, it’s a real game change. Hunting down duplicates with the Traits you want can be a pain, though, admittedly…

How to Convert Traits to Other Ones

If you have a Trait you don’t particularly like and you want to change it for another one, you can use Trait Conversion.

The process is somewhat similar to Trait Unlocking, so you will need to consume other equipment for Trait Conversion. You don’t need a duplicate of your exact equipment, however, just any other equipment that has the same Trait you wish to convert.

For example, you can convert the “Humanoid Bonus Damage” Trait on a Staff even by using a Sword & Shield as long as it also has the “Humanoid Bonus Damage” Trait.

You’ll also need to spend Trait Conversion Stones. How many you need will depend on your equipment’s rarity and the Traits you wish to convert. You can get these by completing Codex quests and by buying them from the Guild Merchant’s shop after you reach Level 50.

Lastly, you’ll need to pay a Sollant fee. The fee also depends on your equipment’s rarity and the Traits you’re converting.

Once you have the Traits Convert Stones and your items, though, just open the Trait section of Equipment Enchanting again.

Select your base item with the Trait you want to change, then click on the “Trait Conversion” button. Then, select the donor item with the new Trait you want and accept the Trait Conversion!

Keep in mind that the new Trait will be Level 1, it won’t match the level of your old Trait.

How to Extract Traits from Equipment

Last but not least, we have Trait Extraction. This is a simple process, but it can be a massive Gold sink. You’ll need to get as much Gold as you can before you even think about this!

However, this is a great way to ensure you get the Traits you want on your equipment. It’s also a fantastic way to make Lucent in the Marketplace!

To start Trait Extraction, you just need to click on an item on your inventory and select “Trait Extraction”.

You can then select all the items you want to Extract Traits from, but be aware that the items will be lost in the process! Nonetheless, it’s nice that you can do it in bulk.

Do note that you’ll also need Trait Extraction Stones to complete the process. You can get these stones by completing Codex quests or purchasing them with Ornate Coins in the in-game Shop. As always, the number of stones required will depend on the rarities of your equipment and Traits.

This brings us to the end of our guide on everything you need to unlock and use Traits on your equipment in Throne and Liberty! We hope this all helps you make the most out of all your gear.
