The season server is a recent event in the life of BDO that is designed to make things easier for old and new players by providing events and rewards to its participants that greatly facilitate the leveling and gearing process. One such season usually lasts for a few months, during which time we have the opportunity to develop a new character to an already relevant level.
I think this is a very good opportunity for new players because it helps a lot to catch up with older players as it provides a lot more help than leveling a character during the off-event period. Anyway, anyone can create such a character, not specifically just new or returning players. For them, additional rewards are the attraction, and of course, to try new classes.

Creating a Season Character
You can create a season character at the Create Character window after you choose your character and ticked the „Season Character” option.
You can create only one season character per family (each season). If you want to create another season character, you must delete the one you had previously created. As opposed to classic characters, season characters only take 3 minutes to delete.
Once you have created a Season Character, you will see a special mark in the character selection window which shows you that the character is a Season Character.
Season Servers
Season Servers are focused on character growth, but Only Season Characters can enter the Season Servers. It provides Combat EXP +100%; Skill EXP +20% buff for the entire duration of the event.
Forced PvP is not possible in the Season Servers. Season Arsha Server, a server that will allow players to engage in forced PvP, will be available within a month after Season Servers are opened.
Their name is Season 1-4 and Season(PVP) which was renamed from Kamasylvia 1-4 solely for the duration of the event period.

Fughar is a Season Server exclusive NPC who will be located next to the Stable Keepers in large towns including Velia. Most season-related quests are available from him, so you’ll encounter quite a few during your journey.

Season Pass and the Black Spirit Pass
The essence of the Season Pass is that you have to complete various missions for which valuable rewards come. This is only available on season characters and can be accessed by clicking on the Season Pass icon in the upper right corner (in the picture below). This is a free feature available to everyone.
The
In both cases, the rewards must be activated and taken out one after the other. However, it is not mandatory to complete the missions in order, the system will save them in case you can activate them in order later.
Seasonal Gears
Special characters deserve special gear. Since Season characters cannot equip regular gear, you have to equip the character with Naru and Tuvala gear. Only the Asula jewelry set is an exception to this, as well as the main story quest’s reward items. Items that can be used are marked with a yellow Black Spirit mark. While seasonal characters have an advantage in many ways, they still lack one thing: their inability to ride T9 horses.
- Naru Gear
The Naru gear first introduced in the Autumn season was slightly weaker than Tuvala gear, but they can be obtained during your adventures from Balenos to Mediah. Naru gear can also be enhanced with Beginner Black Stones and allow you to reach higher enhancement levels more easily compared to enhancing Tuvala gear. Show Fughar a Naru gear enhanced up to PEN (V) level and he will upgrade it to a Tuvala gear of PRI (I) level (of the same gear part) for you.
Where to obtain Naru Gear pieces:
- Monsters drop in Serendia, Calpheon and Mediah
- At the end of the main story quests in Serendia and Calpheon
- Exchange Beginner Black stones
About Beginner Black stones:
You can obtain them from the main story quest, or by heating regular black stones to turn them into Beginner Black Stones.
You can exchange them for Naru Gear at Fughar:
Enhancing Naru Gear:
Naru gear is much easier to enhance than Tuvala gear. You need to use Beginner Black Stones to enhance Naru gear. Naru armor and weapons can be enhanced up to PEN and accessories up to TRI. Once you reach PEN Naru armor/weapons, Fughar can exchange it for you for PRI Tuvala gear (requirement: finished Mediah main questline).

Quests
1. Main Quests
It’s important to follow the main quest chains, because it is essential in many ways, for example, the Season Pass also gets to the last reward through these. I mentioned above that for every milestone you leave when you complete one of the territorial main questlines, you obtain the
So, let’s do the main questlines!
2. Weekly Quests
There are 22 recurring quests, which you can do. You can find these at the Quest Window (press O), and select the Recurring tab, and then choose the [Season] Stronger Tuvala Gear title. These give you valuable rewards, so I definitely recommend that you complete these quests.
Obtainable rewards:
3. Regional Quests
Regional quests are very useful because they give you useful things, like stones and accessories. If you enter the monster area, the quest will be popped automatically. The goal is to kill a certain amount of monsters in each area. The quests rewards are only available for season characters, if you do it with your non-season character, it will give you only Combat EXP.
