Throne and Liberty 4.9.0 adds Snowsoul weapons and changes several Nix activities. Maintenance begins on August 26 at 10:30 PM PT, or 5:30 AM UTC, and should last approximately three hours. This is a maintenance window, not the game's release date.
Snowsoul weapons raise the ceiling to item level 85
Snowsoul weapons sit above Ascended Archboss weapons. Crafting them requires an Ascended Archboss weapon and new materials. They can also upgrade Ascended Talandre Archboss weapons to item level 85.
The Party Champions rank now sits between Elite and Boss. Its stats are tied to boss stats, creating a clearly defined intermediate tier for Nix encounters.
This item-level progression directly affects the gear covered by jeu.vidéo's game-progression guides.
Nix cuts time from several activities
The update adds achievements in Nix and removes achievements that are no longer possible to obtain. The layouts of Remnants of Nix and Tumgir Vault also change, along with several events. The notes indicate that some Nix content becomes less difficult, but they do not announce a general reduction across the entire area.
Masarax can now appear with a 30% chance, fifteen minutes after a session begins, and its location is fixed.
In Tumgir Vault, chest interactions take 30% less time, Skill Core acquisition is reduced by 50% and the elevator sequence by 40%. These changes should make vault rotations faster.
The Oath of Nails and Sparks event is removed from Nix. official update notes confirms these details, while details published on Steam remains the reference for the schedule and numerical values. More on the subject is available through the Throne and Liberty page.
The official announcement confirms the changes
The official Steam announcement verifies the main changes to Snowsoul weapons, Nix and Tumgir Vault, as well as the maintenance schedule.
