Season Graduation Guide

Introduction

Graduating sounds really complicated and can be a daunting task, but don’t worry, we’re going to take you through it step by step.

• You can graduate when you are ready! Take as much time as you need to complete everything you want to do on the season servers and push all of your gear to PEN Tuvala gear.
• To graduate from the season server, you just need to complete your season pass and there are no other requirements.
• If you haven’t logged onto your BDO account for 180 days or longer, your season character will be automatically graduated and any graduation gifts are sent to your Mail (B).

Graduation Rewards

When you graduate, you will receive your graduation rewards, including the Gift Box Full of Memories containing various useful items.

This box will be sent to your Mail (B).

How to Graduate from the Season Server

When should you graduate?

Personally, I would stay on the Season until you have everything done that you want to complete on the season server. There is no rush and you can work towards the goals in your own time. You should only graduate if you already have PEN boss gear ready to equip, or have literally gotten everything you possibly can out of the season. Even if you have full PEN Tuvala and are eager to join the normal servers, remember that extra season items such as Time-filled Blackstones can be sold to vendors for quite a lot of silver.

How to start your Graduation

You can graduate after completing your entire season pass and accepting all the rewards (including the Black Spirit Pass if you have bought it).

Simply press the “Graduate” button on the season pass whilst connected to a non-season server (eg. Balenos 3).

You will then be disconnected temporarily while your season server is converted to a normal character.

All of your Tuvala gear will be automatically converted to “normal gear”, which means it can now be worn by any non-season character.

• Each piece of your season Tuvala gear with the highest enhancement level will be converted into normal Tuvala gear, and all other duplicates removed (except for rings and earrings which will have a maximum of two of each converted).
• You will no longer be able to access the season server, season pass, season quests/challenges, or season-exclusive gear.
• When you graduate, one of your Season Character Tickets will be consumed.

Items removed when you graduate:

• Black Spirit Pass
• All extra Tuvala equipment
• Time-filled Blackstones
• Rift’s Fragment, Rift’s Echo
• Frozen Tides Black Stone, Boiling Tides Black Stone
• Fughar’s Riding Crop
• Fughar’s Fishing Rod
• [Season] Secret Book of the Misty Breeze, [Season] Secret Book of the Crimson Fog
• Atoraxxion: Rift Chest
• [Event] Fughar’s Special Season Gift Box
• [Season] exclusive gear (such as Militia, Azwell, Elsh weapons, etc.)

Quitting the Season

You can also choose to quit the season, which will turn your season character to a normal character without needing to complete the season pass and graduate.

It is recommended to finish the season and graduate properly instead of quitting the season.

• Quitting the season will consume your Season Character Ticket
• Your character and tuvala gear will be converted to normal character/gear
• All other season items will be deleted
• You will no longer have access to the season pass, season server, or other season related content.

DEC Tuvala Gear for Endgame Gear

After graduating from the season, you can complete a once-per-family quest which will allow you to start enhancing 1 PEN Tuvala weapon and 1 PEN Tuvala Accessory, obtained from the Season Servers, up to DEC (X) enhancement level.

Once you reach DEC enhancement, you can swap the weapon for a PEN Blackstar Weapon, and the accessory for a TET Kharazad Accessory. These are both endgame items. Take a look at our DEC Tuvala Gear Guide to get started.

I recommend enhancing your PEN Tuvala Awakening weapon and PEN Tuvala Belt up to DEC. This is because you will get a FREE PEN and TET Blackstar for the other 2 weapon slots.

The recommended armor and weapons are shown below:

• Ultimately Red Rose will be replaced by Fallen God Armor, and Griffon helmet will be replaced by Labreska Helmet.
• The reason you are recommended to take Red Nose Armor instead of Dim Tree Spirit’s Armor is because it requires fewer caphras to level up, meaning you will save silver when upgrading to Fallen God Armor

Damage Reduction Armors (recommended for new players)	Evasion Armors
⇒ Griffon’s Helmet ⇒ Labreska Helmet	⇒ Griffon’s Helmet ⇒ Labreska Helmet
⇒  Red Nose Armor ⇒ Fallen God Armor	⇒  Red Nose Armor ⇒ Fallen God Armor
⇒  Urugon’s Shoes ⇒ Ator’s Shoes	⇒  Muskan’s Shoes ⇒ Ator’s Shoes
⇒  Bheg’s Gloves ⇒ Dahn’s Gloves	⇒  Leebur’s Gloves ⇒ Dahn’s Gloves

Weapon Choices
Kzarka Weapon (recommended)	Offin Tett’s Weapon
Dandelion Weapon
Kutum Weapon (PVE Option – Recommended)	Nouver Weapon (PVP Option)

Once you’ve decided which gear you would like to select, begin the exchange at NPC Jetina.

Free TET and PEN Blackstar Weapon

All players can obtain 1 free TET (IV) Blackstar weapon and 1 free PEN (V) Blackstar weapon of their choice.

For new players, it is recommended to select the Offhand Weapon for your TET Blackstar choice, and the Mainhand Weapon as your PEN Blackstar choice.

The TET (IV) Blackstar Weapon Box can then be obtained from your (Y) Challenge Rewards.

You can select either x1 TET (IV) Blackstar weapon (main/awakening/sub-weapon) or x10 [Event] Dim Origin of Dark Hunger

Once you have selected the Weapon Box, it can be opened on any class to receive a weapon suitable for that class.

• Shai cannot open the TET (IV) Blackstar Awakening Box.
•  TET (IV) Blackstar weapons obtained from the box cannot be registered on the Central Market.
•  Only non-season characters can open the TET (IV) Blackstar weapon box and equip the claimed weapon.

▼ 4 Choices (Choose 1) ▼
TET (IV) Blackstar Weapon (1 Main/Awakening/Sub-weapon)			[Event] Dim Origin of Dark Hunger x10
TET (IV) Blackstar Main Weapon Box	TET (IV) Blackstar Awakening Weapon Box ※ Not recommended for Shai Class	TET (IV) Blackstar Sub-weapon Box (Recommended for new players)	[Event] Dim Origin of Dark Hunger x10 ※ For veteran adventurers who do not require TET Blackstar weapons.

The PEN (V) Blackstar Weapon Box can also be obtained from your (Y) Challenge Rewards.

If you selected the Offhand weapon as your TET Blackstar choice, I would recommend selecting the Mainhand weapon for your PEN Blackstar.

Season’s Special Reward

• You can receive a special reward by exchanging the Season Special Gift Exchange Coupon at NPC Fughar
• The coupon is obtained from the Season Pass when you reach Lv. 10 on a season character.
  • If you have already graduated without exchanging your coupon, you can still go to Fughar to claim your reward

You can choose between any of the rewards if you have not already claimed them.

For your first season, it is recommended to get the PEN Capotia Belt or Necklace (whichever one you didn’t pick from Y rewards) since you should have the PEN Capotia Ring from the other methods (info about free PEN Accessories). You can also make another season character in the future if you would like to collect the PEN Capotia Earring as well.

Post-Graduation – What to do next

After graduating from the season server, you may feel confused and unsure of what to do next. My best advice is to set yourself small goals.

You may want to start by collecting certain treasure items, such as:

• Infinite Potions – highly recommended
• Archaeologists Map
• Lafi Bedmountain’s Upgraded Compass.

As for your gear, there is still plenty to do! The first things you may want to start working toward (if you haven’t already) is DEC Tuvala Gear to earn yourself a TET Kharazad Accessory and a PEN Blackstar weapon of your choice. You may also start the guaranteed PEN boss gear and PEN accessory from Jetina. There are also several Adventure Logs to complete, and other objectives/questlines, such as the Magnus questline.

You will also have access to the Progression Pass by clicking the icon in the top left. The progression pass is similar to the Season Pass, but you can complete the objectives in your own time. You may already have completed some of the objectives, and can accept the rewards by clicking any glowing objectives. For the “Game Tips” category, you can also just click these to complete them.
