The transition to NC
SystemThe report opens by confirming what had already been announced: Amazon Game Studios is handing the live operation of Throne and Liberty in the West over to NC in Q4 2026.
The line that matters to players comes right after — the number one priority of the process is that all of your progression and account data stay completely safe and intact. Both companies say they are working together on a seamless switch, with more information as the process moves forward.

Progression and account data
Still no operational detail
⟡ Heads upThe report does not say how the migration works in practice: nothing about downtime, a new client, launcher, store or paid currency balance. What exists is the commitment that nothing is lost, and the promise of more information in the next reports.
Colossus Vegamor pushed to September
PvEThe month's biggest casualty. The Colossus Vegamor update, originally set for August, has been rescheduled to September — official reason: prioritizing a smooth service transition.
The team acknowledges the frustration of everyone who was waiting on the content and sells the delay as polish: the extra time is there to balance the two priorities — the publisher switch and a more finished Vegamor launch.
⟡ What the delay costs
- Another month stuck on the current item level cap, which only rises with Colossus
- August's calendar is left without any heavyweight new content
- Anyone already farming materials ahead of time sits on stock for 30 more days
⟡ What it buys
- Room for the Amazon → NC transition not to collide with a big patch
- A declaredly more polished Vegamor launch
- The Nix and QoL improvements land earlier, without waiting on Colossus
Colossus Vegamor — release window
What already shipped — costs cut in 4.7.0
SystemBefore listing promises, the report collects on what has already been paid. Two cost reductions landed in 4.7.0, both with a retroactive refund.
Important detail: the refund of the difference arrived by in-game mail, not by manual claim.
Sollant cost — Trait Unlockstones
Sollant cost — Trait Enchantment Stones
Ore cost — Inheritance
Nix content: Tumgir Hollow and Field Events
PvEImprovements to Tumgir Hollow and to Field Events, together with a big quality of life (QoL) package spread across all of Nix content, land in two weeks — that is, at the end of August.
The breakdown is left to the patch notes. The report only marks the window.

Gear cap and acquisition
PvEThe Colossus update expands the maximum item level of gear. And the team already anticipates the obvious problem: climbing to the new cap turns into fatigue grind.
The answer is to open the tap — max-level gear drop rates go up so progression to the cap is more reliable, and not a lottery.

Drop rate — gear at the cap
Field Boss and Arch Boss: goodbye to individual ranking
Arch BossThe most structural change in the report. Today the reward criteria mixes individual contribution and group contribution — the result is confusion about how the reward is calculated and, worse, support pushed into individual competition. A healer fighting for a damage ranking is the classic symptom.
In a future update, the criteria becomes unified around group contribution. Individual ranking rewards are removed and the result screen is updated to reflect it.

No date — but the message is about direction
⟡ Heads upThis is the only big change in the report without a defined window: in a future update. Even so, it is the strongest design-intent signal of the month — the game is being pushed away from internal raid competition and toward group performance.
Skill Core presets
SystemA dedicated preset system is in development to allow swapping Skill Cores with far less friction than the current system imposes.
It is the kind of QoL that never shows up as a number, but changes the routine of anyone alternating builds between PvE and PvP.
Skill Core — preset system
Flames of Purification and Redfrost
PvETo cut down the fatigue of getting Flames of Purification every day, the acquisition speed will be significantly improved — and that arrives together with the Remnants of Nix patch.
The same package includes the Redfrost drop rate increase that had been promised earlier and had not been applied yet.

Scaryel's take
AnalysisScaryel comments
⟡ Creator's voice“Everyone is going to read this report for the Vegamor delay, and everyone is going to read it wrong. The item that rewrites raid routine is the end of individual Field Boss and Arch Boss ranking — and notice it is precisely the only one without a date, which usually means it is genuinely hard work. Today the healer in your party farms personal contribution in a system that was never built for them; once the reward becomes 100% group contribution, the math on who you bring to the boss changes entirely, and composition matters more than the parser again. The Colossus delay was, honestly, predictable: nobody switches publishers and ships an expansion in the same quarter. And the message hidden inside the 4.7.0 reductions is that the team learned to refund retroactively by mail — small, but it is the kind of precedent the community will hold them to next time.”

Dates come from the Global calendar. Colossus Vegamor left August and only arrives in September — don't plan material stock counting on August.

- Nix (in two weeks): improvements to Tumgir Hollow, Field Events and general QoL; details only in the patch notes.
- Gear: Colossus expands the maximum item level and increases gear drops at the cap to cut grind.
- Field Boss and Arch Boss: rewards become group contribution only; individual ranking removed and result screen rebuilt — no date.
- Skill Core: preset system in development to swap cores without the current friction.
- Flames of Purification: much faster acquisition together with the Remnants of Nix patch, with the pending Redfrost drop increase applied in the same package.
- Scaryel's verdict: housekeeping with one structural change hidden inside. Confidence 7/10.
