  • You can obtain Tuvala gear by progressing through the Season Pass, by simply leveling up your character.

Enhancing PEN (V) Tuvala Gear

If you obtained your Tuvala Gear with a normal character as reward for completing [Balenos] Main Story quests, you need to enhance it to PEN (V) yourself.

  • Tuvala gear is enhanced with Black Stones until +15 and the enhancement level cannot drop even when the enhancement fails.
  • For the enhancement levels that follow after (PRI (I) ~ PEN (V), Concentrated Magical Black Stones are required.
    • While enhancing Tuvala from PRI (I) to TRI (III), the enhancement chance is 100% and the enhancement level cannot drop.
    • When enhancing from TET (IV) to PEN (V), the enhancement level can drop if the enhancement fails.
 
Unlike weapons and armor, Tuvala accessories can only be enhanced with the same type of accessory (rings, earrings, necklace and belt) and will break when failing the enhancement.
  • While enhancing Tuvala accessories from PRI (I) to TRI (III), the enhancement chance is 100% and the enhancement level cannot drop.
  • When enhancing from TRI (III) to PEN (V), the accessory will break if the enhancement fails.
    • Since you can obtain a full set of PEN (V) Tuvala gear including accessories by graduating from the Season after completing the Season Pass, it is recommended to follow this path.
