◈ Season Graduation 

Graduation is always available, but you can only graduate from a season server after you have completed your season character's season pass. Please be careful with your decision, since graduating consumes a season character ticket, and if you no longer have at least one of these you cannot create a season character again nor log into a season server.

If you are using the Black Spirit Pass, you must claim all Black Spirit Pass rewards as well.
If you have purchased the Black Spirit Pass and have not used it, it is recommended that you do so before Season Graduation, since you cannot use it after graduation, and all rewards will be lost if you have not claimed them before.

Once you have completed all the requirements, you can graduate by pressing the Graduate button that will appear in the Season Pass window.

Your season character will be converted into a normal character, and will automatically be relogged into the game upon pressing the Graduate button.

◈ Converting Tuvala Gear

Once graduation is complete and your season character is converted into a normal character, you cannot equip season-exclusive Tuvala gear.

Upon graduation, each piece of your season Tuvala gear set with the highest enhancement level will be automatically converted into normal Tuvala gear, and all other duplicates removed (except for rings and earrings which will have a maximum of two of each converted).
E.g.) If you have one PEN (V) Tuvala Gloves and one TET (IV) Tuvala Gloves, only your PEN (V) Tuvala Gloves will be converted and the other will be removed.

(Reference) Order of Priority When Season Tuvala Gear Is Converted into Normal Tuvala Gear:

It is recommended that you use or sell Time-filled Black Stones, and gift boxes for leveling up before you graduate, since they will all be removed.

◈ Summary & Additional Season Graduation Notices

After reaching level 61 with a season character and completing the main questline up to Mediah/Mountain of Eternal Winter or Land of the Morning Light, you will be granted with 1 PEN (V) and TET (IV) Blackstar weapon in your Challenge window (Y). You will not be able to equip this weapon while playing with your season character, however, once you graduate you will be able to equip this weapon.

◈ Tag Characters for Post-Graduation Growth

You can tag two characters in your family, which allows you to instantly switch between the tagged characters. Tagged characters will share their in-game location at all times.
(For example, if tagged character A moves to a monster zone, then switches to tagged character B, B will log into the exact same location in said monster zone.)
Note that you can only tag normal characters.

The tag system has been recently revamped to allow tagged characters to now share EXP gains.
By alternating between tagged characters, you could potentially level up multiple characters at a time.

Revamped "Character Tag" System in a Nutshell
1. Select the "Tag Characters" icon located on the upper left portion of the screen. Link two characters A & B (who are both at least Lv. 7) whom you wish to tag.
2. Leveling with character A will accumulate the same amount of EXP gained to character B.
3. Log into character B, open the "Tag Characters" window, and press the "Get EXP" button to claim the EXP gained by character A.
( You can also level with character B and claim EXP gains on character A. )
– Combat/Skill EXP gained through Black Spirit's Training does not accumulate.
– Only Skill EXP gained through PvE combat will be accumulated.
 
* When obtaining the accumulated EXP, leveling up will be temporarily halted once at Lv. 49, Lv. 56, and Lv. 60.
- Each time you will need to press the "Get EXP" again to level up with the accumulated EXP to the next threshold.
* You will also need to complete the "[To Level 50!] Go Beyond Your Own Limits" quest through the Black Spirit (/) in order to level from Lv. 49 to Lv. 50.

 

Once you have tagged two characters, you can also enable them to share the same gear. This feature is known as "Item Copy."
Complete the Marni's Suspicious Device questline available from Lv. 56 through the Black Spirit (hotkey: , ) to unlock the Item Copy feature. You can find the questline on the Quest window (hotkey: O) → Suggested → [ADV Support] [Lv. 56] Item Copy with Marni's Device!
 
When copying items, all equipped defense gear, weapons, accessories, tools, alchemy stones, and artifacts will be copied into the bags of the tagged character.
Copying items consumes "Marni's Unstable Fuel."

 

Please note that the copy is mostly like taking a screenshot of that moment in time from the character you are copying the items from. As such, changes such as upgrading alchemy stones or weapons with hearts will not be reflected on the copies.
