Throne and Liberty Adds Nebula Island, New Dungeons, and Nerfing Field Bosses Because They're Tough

Throne and Liberty’s Wilds of Talandre expansion update content continues rolling out, with tonight’s patch set to add new Nebula Island, Artifacts and new dungeon content. 

This is another big update. Downtime is set for 10:30 p.m. PT tonight and is expected to take 7.5 hours.

When the patch is live, the new Nebula Island activity will be available to level 55+. This is an interserver activity with a central village and six regions in total. Four are free for all PVP war zones and one is a peaceful zone. Using portals in the central village, access hunting grounds. There are also hourly events and field boss battles that will spawn. Nebula Island is also one of the places where you get the new Artifacts (the other is via Abyss Dungeons in Talandre). You can spend up to five hours a week there, with ways to extend that time limit.

Artifacts offer an accessory system that lets you customize your build with skills through these Artifact item sets. There are 14 different artifact sets of three grades (common, uncommon, and rare). The system parts offer unique stats and effects and you can get set bonuses by equipping at least two matching pieces from the same set.

Talandre field bosses are tough, so  they'll be getting a 30% nerf to health in guild vs. guild and dominion events to give more people a chance to defeat them. This is a temporary solution but they promised something permanent will be coming. They'll also be reducing the wait time for field bosses.

The update adds two new solo dungeon bosses, Umbrakan, and Lionhead. The team plans to continue adding some more bosses and rotating their availability. For additional challenges there are two new three star dungeons: Doomrot Grove and Twisted Laboratory. Throne and Liberty loves their dungeon names of doom.

Vanguards will be available, ways to form multiparty groups for rating. These can consist of up to eight parties and 48 players in total. Details on how to create them and the rules that apply are in the patch notes, if you are jumping at the chance to be ultra ultra organized and ready.
