What Happens to Season Gear at Graduation?
You get to keep 1 full set of Tuvala gear and the rest is destroyed.
Tuvala Gear Conversion
During graduation Tuvala gear is converted into family-bound gear that can no longer be used on a Season Character.
Tuvala Gear will keep creator Family name for PEN (V) items.
The game will automatically convert 1 full set of Tuvala, choosing the gear that it thinks is the best. (highest enhancement level)
All other unconverted duplicate Tuvala is deleted upon Season Server end.
All Tuvala enhancement materials are destroyed so make sure you exchange, sell, or use them.
You will no longer be able to enhance converted Tuvala Gear.
Tuvala Gear Conversion Priority
- Highest Enhancement Level:
- Tuvala gear upgraded to the highest enhancement level (except for a max of two earrings and two rings, totaling 13 pieces).
- Example: If you have both “PEN (V) Tuvala Battle Axe” and “TRI (III) Tuvala Axe,” the PEN (V) Battle Axe will be automatically converted. If you have multiple gear at the same level, a second set of rules will determine which one gets converted.
- Item Brand Spell Stone Gear:
- Example: If you have both branded and non-branded “PEN (V) Tuvala Gloves,” the branded one will be converted. If you have multiple pieces at the same level and they are either all branded or all non-branded, a third set of rules will decide.
- Most Recently Crafted:
- Example: If you have a non-branded “PEN (V) Tuvala Longsword” crafted on Nov. 1 and a non-branded “PEN (V) Tuvala Amulet” crafted on Nov. 10, the more recently crafted amulet will be converted.
*If your inventory is full, check your storage in Heidel for the converted items.
Items Deleted From Graduation
The following items will be removed upon season graduation.
- Extra Tuvala Gear that exceeds the 1 full set of converted gear.
- Time-filled Black Stones

TET Blackstar Challenge for Level 61
After completing the Mediah main questline (or equivalent) and reaching level 61, open Challenge Rewards (Y) to obtain a TET Blackstar Weapon or Dim Origin of Dark Hunger if you already have Blackstar Weapons.
TET Blackstar Challenge Requirements:
- Reach level 61 with your season or normal character.
- Complete any of the following Main Quest Lines:
- Serendia, Balenos, and Mediah main questlines – Apocalyptic Prophecy (Recommended for beginners.)
- Main Questlines for Veteran Players:
- Mountain of Eternal Winter – [Everfrost] Beyond the Doors of Alyaelli
- Land of the Morning Light – [Koo Mihyun] Seungsan’s Secret
- Simplified main questline – [Special Growth] Fughar’s Memorandum Chapter 11
- Limited to one time per family. (A second Season or level 61 character will not reward another Blackstar Weapon Challenge.)
You can choose from 3 different TET Blackstar Weapons.
- Choose the Main Weapon if you use Succession Skills and Awakening Weapon if you use Awakening skills.
- The Sub-Weapon is the third choice for those who already have TET Blackstar Main and Awakening Weapons.
- [Event] Dim Origin of Dark Hunger is used during Devour and recommended for advanced players.
PLEASE NOTE:
- Season characters must wait until after they graduate to open the TET (IV) Blackstar weapon box.
- Shai class have buckets of sorrow and cry. Seriously, Shai class can’t open the TET (IV) Blackstar Awakening Box. 🙁
- TET (IV) Blackstar weapons obtained from the box cannot be registered on the Central Market, but they can be enhanced to PEN. (And we hope can be used for Fallen God Weapons in the future.)
