Not sure what a Season Server is? Don’t worry, because this GM Note has got you covered with everything you need to know!

“Season Servers” are special progression-focused servers that are available for even novice Adventurers, which can allow them to quickly adapt to the Black Desert world.

Although you can only access and play on season servers with a season character, season characters can also access the normal servers and later “graduate” from the season servers to be converted into normal characters.

▲ Season characters have a special yellow marking on the left corner

to show that they’re a Season Server specific character.

Now to really dive into the crux of the Black Desert’s Season Servers & Character – their perks! 

1. Season Character Level Up Rewards

By reaching certain level milestones on your Season Character, you can receive level-up rewards from the Challenge menu. The rewards for each season may slightly differ, so make sure to check out the event page to learn more about them.

2. EXP Buffs

The Season Pass is only available in the Season Servers. It serves as a “guide” to what you should accomplish on the season servers and rewards you for doing so.
* The Season Pass Challenges and Rewards may differ from season to season.

4. Tuvala Equipment 

Season Servers offer a special set of equipment known as “Tuvala.” This equipment is intended to help novice Adventurers get their footing in the Black Desert world, so it has a higher rate of enhancement compared to normal equipment.

You can obtain these materials from various sources, including the Season Pass Challenges, season server monster zones, and weekly monster zone quest.

- In the Quests > Recurring tab’s “[Season] Stronger Tuvala Gear” quest list, you can accept the weekly quests from each zone’s Node Manager.

Lastly, Tuvala Equipment can still be used after the season ends, and PEN (V) Tuvala Equipment can be used to obtain PEN (V) Boss Gear through a guaranteed upgrade questline.

5. Season Materials

In the Season Servers, you can obtain special materials that are used to obtain and enhance Tuvala Equipment, or can just be sold to NPC Vendors for Silver.

You can obtain these materials from various sources, including the Season Pass Challenges, season server monster zones, and weekly monster zone quest.

- In the Quests > Recurring tab’s “[Season] Stronger Tuvala Gear” quest list, you can accept the weekly quests from each zone’s Node Manager.

6. Season Character Transfer System

What if you created your season character as Class A, but now want to play with Class B...?

Don’t worry! Because you can use “Fughar’s Timepiece” to transfer your season character’s season status and Combat/Skill EXP!

* Quests that are in progress or completed on Class A will not be transferred to Class B.

Additionally, the Class B character must be Lv. 25 or lower to allow the transfer. (The Class A character must on a normal server with all their gear unequipped.)

Once you’ve used Fughar’s Timepiece, you will receive three exchange coupons (Tuvala Main Weapon Exchange Coupon, Tuvala Sub-weapon Exchange Coupon, and Tuvala Awakening Exchange Coupon) in the transferred character’s inventory after you’ve gone to the Character Selection screen. You can use these coupons to change your Tuvala weapons to ones that are suitable for Class B.

Afterward, you can use your new season character to play on the Season party monster zones, Season Atoraxxion, and more. Make sure to check out the patch notes for more details!

If you fulfill the requirements, you can “graduate” from the Season Servers and receive several special rewards to help you get ready for the normal servers. “Graduation” allows you to quickly convert your season character to a normal character. This system is only available after a certain of time has passed since the start of the season. And of course, once you graduate, you will no longer be able to revert your character into a season character.

In order to graduate, you must not have “Fughar’s Timepiece,” and you must have claimed all the rewards from the Season Pass.
* Graduation requirements are subject to change. Please refer to the upcoming patch notes for the exact details.

First Gift: Tuvala Equipment Conversion 

Once you graduate, your character will no longer be a season character, meaning your character will no longer be able to equip Season Tuvala Equipment. That’s why you’ll need to use the Tuvala Conversion Stones, which you receive as a reward, to convert the Season Tuvala Equipment.

When you decide to use the Tuvala Conversion Stone, make sure to avoid converting the wrong Tuvala Equipment if you have multiple of the same type.

Second Gift: Special Season Gift

The NPC Fughar offers a special gift quest, which you can complete to obtain the “Season Special Gift Exchange Coupon” that allows you to select one of the special season rewards.

Note: You cannot claim a reward that you’ve claimed previously.

[Selectable Rewards] 

- The rewards from each group can only be obtained once.

Third Gift: Gift Box Full of Memories

After you graduate or the season ends, you’ll be able to receive the Gift Box Full of Memories, which contains a variety of useful items.

Not sure what happens after you graduate from the Season Servers?

Well, it’s all up to you!

You can further explore the massive Black Desert world, test your mettle against more powerful monsters, delve deeper into the various Life Skills, and more.

If you want to become stronger, we recommended starting the “Guaranteed PEN (V) Accessory questline” or “Guaranteed PEN (V) Boss Gear Upgrade questline.” You can also learn more about various content such as Cooking, Gathering, etc., and receive rewards from the Progression Pass.

■ Guaranteed PEN (V) Accessory Guide

■ Guaranteed PEN (V) Boss Gear Upgrade Guide

■ Progression Pass

To access the Progress Pass, which will guide you through many of the facets of the Black Desert world, you can go to Start Menu> Adventure> Progress Pass.

That wraps our Season Server GM Note. We hope you feel ready to step into the Season Server yourself!

Happy adventuring!
