Throne and Liberty: How to Prepare for the Nix Expansion — Level 60, New Gear System, and Gauntlets
One month to go before The Frozen Divide: Nix — the perfect time to start preparing. Here's everything you need to know before Throne and Liberty's biggest expansion launches.
What's Coming in Nix
The Frozen Divide: Nix launches June 25, 2026:
- New region Nix — the game's largest ever, frozen tundra with vertical landscapes
- New weapon Gauntlets — Tank/DPS hybrid for front-line fighters
- Level cap increase to 60
- Two new co-op dungeons
- Gear system rework for greater upgrade control
- New traversal: Aethersuit gliding and Auroral Path aerial movement
Preparing for Level 60
Key preparation priorities:
- Complete your Adventure Codex (Prologue → Prelude)
- Maximize current character level for a strong head start in Nix
- Farm daily quests to stockpile resources
Gear and System Rework
The gear system was redesigned for Nix to give players greater control over upgrade paths. Current gear likely won't instantly obsolete — study the new upgrade paths at launch for efficient progression.
Gauntlets Weapon: What to Know
Gauntlets feature two combat stances:
- Heavy Stance: maximum damage, tank survivability
- Aggressive Stance: mobility, rapid combo attacks with claw extensions
Amazon Games is running preview events ahead of launch — follow the official site and Discord for Gauntlets showcase dates.
Adventure Codex and Stellar Journey
Update 3.34.0 added the Stellar Journey cumulative growth system, accessible via Character Menu → Adventure Codex → Prologue → Prelude. Completing this chain unlocks progression systems you'll need heading into Nix.
