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.
Table of Contents
Creating a Season Character
You can create a seasonal 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.
Event NPC: Fughar
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.

Graduation
There is usually an early graduation in each season, which by implication allows you to transform the seasonal character into a normal character, and collect the rewards sooner.

Hi there, i am a noob and started late beginning or march with my character. I still managed to ding 61 yesterday.
My question is, do we get some time to convert our gear after the season ended? I think i read that on the pearl website,
that we get 1 week after the season ended to turn in our stuff. IS this really true? Because the website also tells that
all gear which is not converted will get deleted after the season ended, it is kinda unclear.
Thanks for your guide anway!
Hey!
There’s nothing wrong with not being clear about the end of the season, it’s a big confusing set of information. 🙂 I looked after this question and found that: “For unconverted Tuvala gear that was obtained during Winter Season, they will be converted and returned to Adventurers during the March 31 maintenance following the criteria below.” Click here to read the full notice about this.
Thanks for your time looking for that info. It seems i am lucky and i will get all the gear autoconverted, all good
Two questions.
-If we don’t finish season pass before the end of the season, do we still get Graduation rewards?
– I’m toward the end of my Season Pass and I notice it says to defeat the World Bosses. But it also has “and use a (I forget the name. Has the word ‘Courage’ in it. I’m currently 59. If I merely participate in world bosses while I’m leveling, will it retro credit me after I’m 60 (Bc rewards for bosses come after the reward for 60) and what is the item it’s telling us to use after defeating them?
Thank you for your question.
– I think yes, you’ll get rewards at the end of the season without passing all the game pass parts.
– Yes, this item is the “Response to Precious Courage” that you received from the defeated World Bosses. This is a scroll that every normal boss drops (I think bloodstorm, nightmare and etc. doesn’t drop this), and it has 24 hours expiration date. You should use these scrolls to get these parts from the Season Pass. So after killing your previous world bosses, you will only get this if you have used these scrolls before.
Hi, thanks for the guide! I have a question I’m a complete noob and just started the game, I don’t think I have enough time to get the best gear currently got to 121 Ap and just unlocked awaken weapon, i started on season server, is it better to restart the game next season ? Because I still don’t know how to play it, and I a delete my season character and in next season I create a new one can my gear get transferred to a normal character? Or I have to create a complete new account ?
Hey Val!
Thank you, I hope you found my guide useful.
Yes, I think it will definitely be worth starting a new character next season, which will give you more time to get to a higher level with it. At the end of the current season, the seasonal characters will automatically changed to regular characters. You won’t be able to move your current gear for your new seasonal character, but it was definitely helpful to get this far with it, too, because the experience will be yours forever now, and then with this knowledge you can start the new season. You do not need to start a completely new account, as your current character will be a normal character, and you will be able to create a new seasonal character in the new season again.
Will i still be able to convert my character even if I was unable to finish the entire seasonal Pass
Yes! Although the requirement for early graduation is to earn the full pass reward, nonetheless, at the end of the season, all seasonal characters are automatically converted to normal characters.
Great guide, thanks a lot!
But… when do the current season ends and one will the new start?
Thank you, GipC91! 🙂
This season(Winter season) will end on 31st March 2021. There is no official information about the start of next season yet, we are just guessing. Maybe the beginning of April or May?
Hi, I only started playing in winter season , can I still get the pen capotes ring instead of the belt as reward for this season or pen both perhaps ?
Also do I need to do velencia 2 questions to get the secret book of misty breeze ? Should I save them to open during skill exp buff ? I keep getting conflicting info there.
Thank you for this guide , it was tremendously helpful
Dear Nik,
I’m glad you found my guide useful!
– When you finish the season, you can choose from the “big rewards”, so yes, you can choose the pen capotia ring instead of the pen belt, but only if you haven’t earned it in previous seasons, you can only exchange them once.
– The Valencia 2 questline is not absolutely necessary for the season, although you get a book if you do it, in my personal opinion this questline is very frustrating and it wouldn’t be worth it to me just because of the books.
– Books are not affected by skill EXP buffs
I accidentally created a seasonal character. Is there any way I can make it a Normal character, or do I have to delete it?
Dear David,
Unfortunately, there is no way to convert an existing character to normal or season one(of course the exception is the end-of-season graduation). You have to delete it and create a new one if you want to use it right now. But at the end of the season, it will be a normal character automatically.
Hey, as far as I know if you speak to Fughar (the NPC exchanging Tuvala ore for gear), you should see an option to convert this character to normal character.
Yes, but this is the graduation.
I didn’t get ine thing, at the end of season, the character disapper ? Or i can use it like a normal character ?
Dear Davide!
The character won’t be deleted, but if you will not convert your gear, it will disappear. On the other hand, you can’t even collect certain rewards for the season.
(If you don’t know how to convert your char: Visit Fughar, talk with him, and choose the dialogue about the character conversion. This leads you to a quest that will convert your season char and your gear into normal ones.)
can you graduate early in the season and then create another season character and use the season gear of your first character?
No, you can’t create another season character after one graduated in one season. You can only start a new season character within a season if you have not graduated with the first char. In this case, you delete the character, and you can move its items to the new seasonal char.
