For Adventures who’ve had their fill of the Season servers, we’ve added a way to graduate to the regular servers ahead of schedule!

 

By graduating early, your season character will be converted to a regular character that can equip the normal equipment, but be warned, because you’ll no longer be able to access the season servers and receive the season rewards once you graduate.

 

You can see the early graduation schedule below, and all season characters will be converted to regular characters on August 26th. Additionally, there are no requirements to graduate early, so visit Fughar when you are ready to graduate.

 

Early Graduation Schedule

August 5, 2020 (Wed) after maintenance–August 26, 2020 (Wed) before maintenance

 

Reminder!

• If you would like to participate in the Tuvala Invitational, make sure to keep your Season Characters. You will not be able to participate in the tournament if you do not have an eligible Season Character. Please find details < Here >.

How to Graduate Early

 

[Step 1] Visit and interact with Fughar, the friend of all season characters

Interact with the <Crow Merchants Guild Chief Manager> Fughar (located in each town/city) and select “I want to convert my season character to a regular character”.

 

[Step 2] Go to the <Crow Merchants Guild Scribe> Leyla

Go to the <Crow Merchants Guild Scribe> Leyla as instructed by the NPC Fughar, and accept the quest “[Season Server] At the Crossroad” from Leyla. Once you complete the quest, return to the NPC Fughar.

 

 

Interact with the NPC Fughar to obtain the “Honorable Adventurer's Certificate” and accept the quest “[Season Server Graduation] Into the Big Wide World” from the Quest (Q) window.

 

Move to a regular server and use the “Honorable Adventurer's Certificate” to convert your season character to a regular character!

 

Now, you’ve successfully completed converting your season character to a regular one. We’ll be rooting for our Adventurers who will continue their adventures in a larger and rougher Black Desert world!

The NPC Fughar has prepared a surprise present for Adventurers who converted their season character to a regular character, so let’s go find Fughar once again.

- Note: You will get 2 for Earrings and Rings.

 

If you upgrade the Tuvala gear with the Tuvala Conversion Stone, it will be converted to Tuvala gear that can be equipped by non-season characters. The converted Tuvala gear will be changed to Family bound and can be moved to and equipped by regular characters. 

 

One Conversion Stone can only convert one Tuvala item, so please be careful when you’re using the Conversion Stone if you have multiple Tuvala items of the same type in your inventory. Imagine if you convert an item that has a lower enhancement level…

Unconverted Tuvala will be deleted during the maintenance on September 2, 2020 (the start date of the next Season). Make sure to convert your Tuvala Gear beforehand!   

 

Boss Gear Exchange

 

Finally, the last stage of graduation.

 

As mentioned in the previous GM Note, you can exchange one Tuvala gear for Boss Gear and today’s GM Note will tell you how that works.

 

First off, only Tuvala gear that was converted with a conversion stone can be exchanged for Boss gear using the “[Season] Boss Gear Exchange Coupon”.

 

You’ll need to complete the quests below, which you can accept from the NPC Fughar, before you can exchange for Boss gear.

• [Season] Even Sharper Weapon: Main Weapon
• [Season] Even Sharper Weapon: Sub-Weapon
• [Season] Even Sturdier Armor: Helmet
• [Season] Even Sturdier Armor: Armor… etc.  

 

Once you’ve accepted a quest to exchange for a certain piece of Boss gear, go to the blacksmith of NPC Tranan Underfoe in Velia.

 

1. Hand over the [Season] Boss Gear Exchange Coupon.

2. Hand over the Tuvala gear that’ll be exchanged.

 

You must follow this order to exchange for Boss gear.

 

Exchanging Tuvala gear for Boss gear is as follows.

Tuvala Gear Enhancement Level	Boss Gear Enhancement Level
PRI (I)	+15
DUO (II)	PRI (I)
TRI (III)	DUO (II)
TET (IV)	TRI (III)
PEN (V)	TET (IV)

The exchanged Boss gear cannot be sold on the Central Market.

 

Summer Season Graduation Reward: PEN (V) Capotia Accessory

 

We stated in a previous GM Note you get a PEN (V) Capotia accessory once you’ve completed all 40 days of Fughar’s daily quests. Check out how you get the accessory below!   

 

After completing all 40 days of Fughar’s quests, you can accept the quest ‘[Season] Fughar's Gift’ from Fughar and complete it to choose between either a PEN (V) Capotia Earring or Ring.

 

The [Season] Fughar's Gift quest will be added during the maintenance on August 5, the same day early graduation begins. Please note you can’t get both the ring and earring, so please select the accessory you need the most.

 

Adventurers who’ve completed all the 40-day quests, but deleted their season characters, have nothing to worry about. You can still obtain one of the PEN (V) Capotia accessories the same way using a regular character.

 

Q&A

[Q] Can I create a new season character after graduating early?

[A] You cannot create a new season character after graduating early in the same season period.

 

[Q] When will unconverted Tuvala gear disappear?

[A] All season exclusive items, including unconverted Tuvala and season enhancement materials, will be deleted at the start date of the next season during the maintenance on September 2, 2020.

 

[Q] What happens to the crystals and PEN (V) creator name on the Tuvala gear when you use a conversion stone?

[A] Tuvala gear that was converted with a [Season] Tuvala Conversion Stone will retain their “Item Branding”, “PEN (V) Creator Name”, and “Transfused Crystals”.  

 

However, crystals transfused on an item that will be exchanged using the [Season] Boss Gear Exchange Coupon must be removed before the quest can be completed, so make sure to extract the crystals at a Blacksmith. Also, “Item Branding” and “PEN (V) Creator Name” will not be retained when the item is exchanged.

 

Make sure you know the difference between a “conversion stone” and “exchange coupon” before using them! 

 

[Q] I have a PEN (V) Tuvala Helmet, but I accidently used the conversion stone on my TET (IV) Tuvala Helmet... Can it be restored?

[A] If you accidently convert the wrong Tuvala, please contact us via [Support] → [Send a Ticket]! We’ll take the mistakenly converted Tuvala gear and give the Tuvala gear you want. However, this assistance is only available once per Family, and the taken Tuvala gear will be unrecoverable as it will be deleted. Only Adventurers who submit a ticket before the maintenance September 2, 2020 will be eligible for assistance. 

 

[Q] Can I use the [Season] Boss Gear Exchange Coupon to exchange for a weapon of a different class?

[A] If you use the [Season] Boss Gear Exchange Coupon on Tuvala gear that was converted with a Tuvala Conversion Stone, the weapon will be changed to a box form that you can open with the class you want the Boss weapon for. 

 

[Q] Can I get rewards from the Black Spirit Pass Challenge after graduating early from the Summer Season?  

[A] Once you convert your season character to a regular character, you will no longer be able to complete the Black Spirit Pass and get rewards. The Black Spirit Pass icon is also not displayed at the upper-right of screen in regular servers. This also includes regular season pass challenges (including the last Daily challenge) that you can complete without having a Black Spirit Pass, so make sure you check your progress before converting to regular character.

 

[Q] Can I change Tuvala weapons to a different class than my season character’s class?

[A] You can use Main Weapon/Awakening/Sub-Weapon Exchange Coupons on Tuvala weapons converted with a conversion stone.

However, if you convert a Tuvala weapon and exchange it for a Boss weapon with the Boss Gear Exchange Coupon, you can use a Main Weapon/Awakening/Sub-Weapon Exchange Coupon to exchange it for a weapon for a different class.

 

[Q] After exchanging Tuvala gear for Boss gear, can I enchance the exchanged Boss gear?

[A] Yes you can. Once you’ve exchanged the Tuvala gear for Boss gear, you can attempt to enhance just like normal Boss gear. However, you cannot put it for sale on the Central Market.

 

[Q] My season character is level 40... Can I still get the Gift Box Full of Memories?

[A] There are no separate requirement, such as levels or Fughar’s daily quest completion, for graduating early! Season characters can graduate and get the rewards at any time before the start of the next season. 

 

[Q] When can get I season server rewards: Advice of Valks (+100) and the PEN (V) Capotia accessory?  

[A] You can get them once the season server early graduation begins in the season servers after the maintenance on August 5, 2020 (Wed).

 

[Q] I don’t think I’ll be able to finish the 40-day quest before the end of the season... Does that mean I can’t get the PEN (V) accessory and Advice of Valks (+100)?

[A] As long as you have completed at least one day of Fughar’s 40-day quests beforehand, you’ll still be able to continue the 40-day quests even after the summer season ends. And of course, once you complete all 40 days, you’ll be able to get the PEN (V) Capotia accessory and Advice of Valks.
