How to Exchange Naru Gear for Tuvala Gear
PEN Naru armor/weapons can be exchanged to Fughar for PRI Tuvala gear.
Requires Mediah main quest line.
Requires a Season Character.
Naru gear does NOT have to be full Max Durability.
Click on “Chat” option with Fughar, after completing the following:
Required Quest Completions:
Apocalyptic Prophecy is at the end of the Mediah main quest line. After this, you will be able to complete the following helpful quest as well, that will supply a large amount of Beginner Black Stones.
And Take this Black Spirit Quest:
– [Season] Beyond the Limits (given by Black Spirit)
Quest Rewards Beginner Black Stones:

How do you get/make a different subweapon for a character like the the Kunoichi or the Ninja? After changing the skills, the naru and tuvala box Fughar supplies always provides the same subweapon.
What I’ve found is, an off season character can take the Tuvala, and have a weapon made for their class, including subweapon and awakening.
That, and the Ninja always seemed to get a shuriken when exchanging tuvala, while the Kunoichi always gets a kunai.
Then you can exchange those tuvala weapons.
This is as long as you have an empty character slot for another character to try this.
Question now is, is there any value in trying to make a second subweapon, or just stick to one?
Kunoi always gets the kunai and Ninja always gets the shuriken (or it’s the other way around the the idea is the same)
I dont have the [Season] Beyond the Limits in the spirit for some reason
Hey. I got a lot of these beginner stones and i dont know what to do whit. Im alredy wearing tuvala items. What to do with the left beginner black stones?
what if i don’t play season character should i sell them?
So I’m done with Calpheon and nowhere NEAR getting PEN on all my gear. How do I grind a lot of beginner black stones?
