Adventurers!
A month has passed since the introduction of Seasons for Black Desert Console! Many tales have been spun of the antics of the many Adventurers who made their first steps onto the Season Servers, and we are finally ready to start seeing the first Season Server Alumni make their way into the normal servers.
Graduation begins after the maintenance on August 11th 2021, which will allow you to gain great rewards to help your character start their journey on the right foot.
Not sure what Graduation is? Want to learn how to Graduate from the Season Servers? GM Grana has prepared this note with the answers to all your Graduation questions.

1. What is Graduation?
Adventurers, have you met your goals this 2021 Summer Season?
Are you looking to broaden your experience of the world of Black Desert on the normal server?
If so, try the Season Graduation to switch from a Season character to a normal character.
When you proceed with Graduation, you receive an abundance of different rewards to help you advance in-game.
You can attain normal items that are sold at the Central Market and more to expand your Black Desert experience.
2021 Summer Season Graduation Schedule |
Aug 11, 2021 (Wed) after maintenance - End of Summer Season |
Your journey on the Season Servers doesn’t need to end right now, as you still have quite some time until the Summer Season ends.
For Adventurers who wish to take their time enjoying the Summer Season can do so alongside [GM] Grana before the end of the Season!
Tip! [GM] Grana’s recommendation for graduating
- To get the most out of your [Season] Boss Gear Exchange Coupons, enhance your Tuvala Gear to PEN (V) so the exchange coupons give you a TET (IV) piece of Boss Gear of the same slot! For example, exchanging a PEN(V) Tuvala Armor will reward you with a TET (IV) Dim Tree Spirit’s Armor.
- Remember, reach Lv. 61 to receive Tuvala accessories from the Level Up Rewards.
Season character Lv. 60 Reward: PEN(V) Tuvala Ring
Season character Lv. 61 Reward: PEN(V) Tuvala Earring
※ Wait! Have you decided to graduate? When you proceed with graduation, your “Season character” will change into a “normal character”.
A “normal character” will be unable to rejoin the Season Server and will no longer be eligible for Season perks. Once graduated, you will no longer be able to use Fughar’s Timepiece either, so choose the timing that is right for you.
2. What’s so good about Graduation?
Graduation allows you to reap the rewards from all the hard work you have put into your Season character. Fughar, a man all Season characters should be familiar with, is happy that you are continuing your adventures through the Black Desert world, and will send you a very generous graduation gift.
This includes limited edition items that can only be earned from Season Graduation as well as other valuable weapons that will be immensely helpful on the normal server.
First, let’s open the Gift Box Full of Memories from Fughar...
