Season Gear Guide

Last Edited on : Feb 20, 2024, 14:52 (UTC)

Summary 

• Season characters are restricted from using normal gear and can only equip “Naru” and “Tuvala” gear. 

• You can obtain and enhance Naru gear by completing the main questline. 

• You can obtain Tuvala gear by exchanging Naru gear or seasonal materials.

• You can obtain materials to enhance your Tuvala gear from a variety of means such as defeating monsters or completing weekly and regional quests in monster zones.

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.

 

➤ Please check the [Guaranteed PEN (V) Boss Gear] page for more information regarding the use of converted Tuvala gear after a season has ended.

 

Gathering Seasonal Materials

 
 
You can obtain Time-filled Black Stone, which can be exchanged for Tuvala gear and used to enhance Tuvala gear, only from the season servers.
 
 
◈ Defeat Monsters

“Time-filled Black Stones” can be obtained from all monster zones on the season server, and in greater quantities in the territories of Valencia, Kamasylvia, Drieghan, and O’dyllita. You can find out more from on the item’s tooltip description.

 

 

◈ Season Weekly Quests


You can choose one of the “[Season Weekly] Stronger Tuvala Gear” quests found under Quests (hotkey: O) → Recurring tab to obtain seasonal enhancing materials.

You can only complete one Season Weekly quest per week and they reset on Thursdays at midnight.

Enhancing Tuvala Gear Tips

You may find the max durability of your Tuvala gear depleted and/or lacking the necessary enhancing materials to continue being enhanced. 

  

The following information will help you enhance your Tuvala gear more efficiently.

 

Enhancing Tuvala Gear Tips

 

Exchange your PEN (V) Naru gear for Tuvala weapons and defense gear.

    

You can exchange your PEN (V) Naru gear for PRI (I) Tuvala gear, which lets you skip the process of enhancing Tuvala gear through 0 to +15 enhancement levels. 
  
Therefore, it is more efficient to exchange your PEN (V) Naru main weapon, sub-weapon, helmet, armor, gloves, and shoes into PRI (I) Tuvala gear. 
  
Upon completing your Awakening and/or Succession questline after reaching Lv. 56, you will be rewarded with your very own PRI (I) Tuvala awakening weapon. 

 

 

Utilize “Enhancement Chance (Stacks)” and “Naderr’s Band.”

 

Enhancing any piece of gear utilizes a system of “Enhancement Chance,” where “stacks” are built over successive enhancement attempts. 
 
The higher the stack, the greater the chance for successfully enhancing a piece of gear. You can also increase your odds by exchanging Black Stones or using items such as Advice of Valks and Valks’ Cry. 
 
Failing enhancements will continuously increase your overall stack, which you may want to save to use for enhancing gear with lower success rates via Naderr’s Band.

 

Please check the [Enhancement] page for the basics of this feature.

 

 

Guaranteed Enhancement from PRI (I) → TRI (III).

  

You will be able to enhance your Tuvala gear with a 100% sucess probability from PRI (I), DUO (II) and TRI (III).

 

When trying to ehnace from TET (IV) to PEN (V), the item might have a chance to fail and downgrade back to TRI (III).

 

 

Use the Frozen Tides Black Stone to enhance from TET (IV) → PEN (V).

    

You can obtain “Frozen Tides Black Stones” from the Season Pass or by completing the seasonal version of the Atoraxxion dungeon. They guarantee successful enhancement of Tvuala gear up to PEN (V). 
  
Therefore, it is most effective to use these stones to enhance your Tuvala gear from TET (IV) to PEN (V).

 

 

Failing to enhance accessories will destroy them! Loads of Time-filled Black Stones are required!

  

Unlike Tuvala weapons and defense gear, Tuvala accessories can only be enhanced with the same type of accessory. (Ex: Tuvala Rings require another Tuvala Ring to enhance) 
  
Therefore, you will need several of the same accessory type to enhance Tuvala accessories, which in turn will require a decent amount of Time-filled Black Stones.

 

 

Obtain Advice of Valks through the Season Pass

 

Complete Season Pass challenges to obtain Advice of Valks items. 
  
These are simple challenges that require your season character to equip a piece of Tuvala gear enhanced to the appropriate level, so don’t miss out!

 

 

Find a party for “Rift’s Echo.”

 

The Rift’s Echo is a season-exclusive monster summon scroll. 
  
Use the Rift’s Echo to summon a random boss monster, who, once defeated, will award you with a variety of Tuvala gear that will help you in your seasonal journey. 
Rift’s Echo requires a full party to complete, so utilize server chat or the Find Party/Platoon function to find like-minded Adventurers to take the monsters down. 
  
Each party member may have a different number of Rift’s Echoes on them, so you should discuss this within your party before proceeding with this content.

 

 

Use the appropriate Enhancement Chance to enhance your Tuvala gear.

 

Many Adventurers utilize the following Enhancement Chance stacks when enhancing to certain grades. 
  
Your success rates may vary regardless of the recommended stacks.

 

Enhancement Grade 

Weapons / Defense Gear 

Accessories 

PRI (I) 

100% sucess probability

10 (+5) 

PRI (I) > DUO (II)  

100% sucess probability

20 (+5) 

DUO (II) > TRI (III) 

100% sucess probability

30 (+5) 

TRI (III) > TET (IV) 

40 (+10) 

35 (+10) 

TET (IV) > PEN (V) 

60 (+15) 

40 (+10) 

 

 

Level up to obtain a PEN (V) Tuvala Earring and PEN (V) Tuvala Ring.

  

You can obtain these by progressing through the Season Pass and leveling up your season character. 
  
Reaching Lv. 58 will grant you a PEN (V) Tuvala Ring, and reaching Lv. 60 will grant you a PEN (V) Tuvala Earring, so we recommend that you only enhance one Tuvala Ring and Tuvala Earring to PEN (V) each.
