In Throne and Liberty, Lithographs are a core component of gearing, especially since you’ll use them to craft most of your gear in the midgame. Since this system requires multiple components, with specific monsters dropping them, it can be confusing to new players. In this guide, we’ll talk about how Lithographs work and show you the locations of certain ones.

What Are Lithographs?
Lithographs function as the blueprints for all gear in Throne and Liberty, with some starting at Uncommon going all the way up to Epic. Each Lithograph shows a potential stat variation, displaying the lowest and highest possible values. This means that you’ll need to get multiples of the same Lithograph if you want to roll for the gear with the highest stats.
There are different sources of Lithographs in the game. One way to get them is by farming certain overworld and dungeon mobs for a chance to drop the one you need. Another way is to do Dynamic Events in the open world, since these have a higher drop chance. The most consistent method is by completing Contracts and buying them with Contract Coins. Some merchants will allow you to craft some of them and you can even buy them at the Auction House if you have the money.
Players who have a lot of Rare and Epic gear can turn them into Lithographs by using Blank Lithographs. However, keep in mind that this will sacrifice the gear in exchange for sellable Lithographs.
How to Farm for Lithographs
As mentioned earlier, completing Resistance Contracts is the most reliable way to get new Lithographs for crafting. First, you’ll need to speak to a Contract Manager in town and complete the ones assigned. Afterward, turn your completed Contracts in for your Contract Coin reward.
There are three Contract Coin Merchant NPCs in Throne and Liberty, Kail in Kastleton, Agatha in Vienta Village, and Aroke in Stoneguard Castle. You can locate these NPCs right next to the Contract Manager in their respective towns, except for Aroke, who is a merchant without a nearby Contract Manager.
Contract Coins don’t have a limit on how many you can collect, but there is a daily limit to how many items you can purchase with this currency. If you only have a limited amount of Contract Coins at your disposal, purchase items following the priority in the table below.

The best item you can buy with these coins is the Precious Blessing Pouch, as these are likely to contain Epic-rarity Lithographs for you to farm.
If you prefer dungeon diving instead, you can do Abyssal Contracts that use the same tasks. Do note that these dungeons are affected by a day and night cycle, as PvP will be enabled during the night.
If you want to actively farm for Lithograohs, certain monsters in the game have a chance to drop them. Should you wish to get a specific Lithograph, you can consult the Lithograph book. Once you’ve found your chosen Lithograph, click on it and check the Bestiary tab to see which enemies drop them and where you can find them. Check the Hunting tab, and it will show you whether these monsters are in a Guild Raid, Riftstone, Secret Dungeon, Abyss Contract, or a world spawn.
The Lithograph book will show you all the available Lithographs in the game and should be completed in order to unlock Epic tier rewards and gain some crafting materials on the way.
