Understand the Main Risks
Amazon Games says it monitors RMT and that affected players can see their Lucent balance go negative, lose Auction House access until it is positive again and be barred from guild distributions, with escalating punishments up to permanent bans. It also says that spending Lucent obtained through RMT does not save a player, because the currency is removed. See our Throne and Liberty buyer's guide.
How to Vet a Lucent Seller
Confirm your server and ask how Lucent is delivered, since trading runs through the Auction House. Look for independent reviews and a record in Throne and Liberty. Our vendor list shows category scores.
Safer Delivery Practices
Never share your login. Any delivery has to pass through the Auction House in some form, which is exactly what Amazon monitors. Keep records of every transaction.
Protect Your Payment Information
Use a payment with dispute rights and keep records. Do not dispute a payment after delivery; reversals are a route to negative balances.
Red Flags to Avoid
Prices well below the store's; guild recruiters who push you to buy Lucent from an outside site; requests for your login; and sellers who promise no negative balances.
Step-by-Step Order Checklist
If you have weighed the rules and decided to go ahead, work through these steps in order. They reduce the avoidable risks; they do not make an order compliant with the game's terms.
- Check the store price for Lucent and remember the three-day Auction House hold.
- Refuse any guild or player that pushes you to an outside seller.
- Read the vendor's review and how delivery works.
- Never share your login.
- Pay with a method that allows disputes; do not dispute after delivery.
- Check your balance regularly for negatives.
What to Do After Delivery
Check your Lucent balance regularly. If it goes negative, understand that Auction House access and guild Lucent are restricted until it is repaid.
Lower-Risk Alternatives
Buy Lucent from the official store (and allow the three-day holding period for Auction House use) or earn it by selling items. See our Lucent farming guide and leveling guide.
