Use Naru and Tuvala Gear on the Season Servers

Unlike normal characters, season characters can only equip and use gear with a special seasonal mark on the gear icons. The yellow mark seen in the picture below.
Once a season character has been converted into a normal character through graduation, they can use all kinds of gear without restrictions.

Thus, season characters will start with Naru gear, then progress through PEN (V) Naru gear → Tuvala gear → PEN (V) Tuvala gear.
You can obtain Naru gear from the main questline, and you can exchange Naru gear into Tuvala gear.


Enhance PEN (V) Naru Gear

Your first task upon logging into the season server will be to enhance your Naru weapons and defense gear up to PEN (V) enhancement level.

Naru gear is readily available for novice players, and, once enhanced to the maximum level, can be exchanged for Tuvala gear.

You can obtain Naru gear from main questline rewards.
To enhance Naru gear, you will need "Beginner Black Stones" which are also given out as main questline rewards.

Once you enhance your Naru main weapon, sub-weapon, helmet, armor, gloves, and shoes to PEN (V), you can exchange them for PRI (I) Tuvala gear via the UI in the equipment window (hotkey: I).
Enhancing Naru accessories such as a necklace, rings, earrings, and a belt is somewhat difficult. They also cannot be converted into Tuvala accessories, so we recommend you simply equip them without enhancing them to higher levels.

Enhance PEN (V) Tuvala Gear

Season characters can obtain Tuvala gear by either converting PEN (V) Naru gear or exchanging Time-filled Black Stone.
Tuvala gear is exclusive to season servers and is the best gear set for season characters.

You can enhance all Tuvala gear pieces including accessories up to PEN (V) level, and you can use the gear for the "Guaranteed PEN (V) Boss Gear" questline upon graduating from the season server. Also, keep in mind you will be able to enhance your Tuvala gear up to TRI with a 100% success probability.

To enhance Tuvala gear, you will need the season-exclusive material called Time-filled Black Stones which can be obtained from a variety of means, such as defeating monsters, completing weekly and regional monster zone quests, and Season Pass challenges.
