Throne and Liberty: How to Prepare for the Nix Expansion Before June 25 — Checklist for Veterans and Newcomers
The Frozen Divide: Nix — Throne and Liberty's biggest expansion — launches June 25, 2026. Less than three weeks remain. Use this time wisely: good preparation will make your Nix launch experience significantly smoother.
Proper preparation three weeks before Nix will make your expansion launch experience significantly smoother
Level Requirement for Nix
The expansion introduces level 60 as the new cap. Current content lets you reach the maximum level before the expansion. Make sure your character is max level — it's the prerequisite for immediate access to Nix content on launch day.
Gear: What Matters Now
The expansion introduces a new gear tier, but current equipment remains relevant for Nix's first dungeons. Pre-launch priorities:
- Complete current Archbosses — their unique gear provides a solid foundation for Nix
- Stock up on crafting materials — Nix's itemization system builds on materials from current content
- Don't waste currency recklessly — the expansion may introduce new valuable currencies or exchange mechanics
Gauntlets: Should You Wait for the New Weapon?
Gauntlets are the new Tank/DPS hybrid weapon type. If you're interested in trying the new playstyle, don't invest in other specialized weapons right now — wait until June 25 and start with Gauntlets immediately. This avoids double-spending on gear.
New Traversal Mechanics
Nix introduces Aethersuit and Auroral Path — fundamentally new movement systems. They don't require pre-leveling, but understanding how they work will help you adapt faster. Watch the Gauntlets weapon preview (week of June 8) and the full content showcase (week of June 15).
Co-op Dungeons: Find a Group Now
Both new Nix dungeons are designed for co-op with team-focused mechanics. If you don't have a regular group — now is the time to find one. Join an active guild or coordinate with friends: Nix's challenging dungeons will be significantly harder with random players.
Financial Planning
TL expansions traditionally come with new Battle Passes, cosmetics, and events. If you plan to spend real money — wait for Nix launch: expansion starter bundles are typically better value than base game content.
