Season+ Graduation
●Fughar has begun helping Season+ characters graduate and adjust to the normal server with the Season+ Graduation.
| Graduation Period | October 27th After the Maintenance ~ December 8th Maintenance |
| Requirements | – For Adventurers that did not purchase the Black Spirit Pass, complete and collect all the rewards from the Season Pass Challenges
– For Adventurers that purchased the Black Spirit Pass, complete and collect all rewards from the Season/Black Spirit Pass Challenges – No longer in possession of the Fughar’s Timepiece |
– The path to graduating on Season+ is as follows.
| Quest Name | Starting NPC | Objectives | Completion NPC |
| [Season Server Graduation] At the Crossroad | Leyal located by the Velia Workshop | Talk to Fughar after completing the quest ‘[Season] Fughar’s Special Timepiece’ | Fughar |
| [Season Server Graduation] Into the Big Wide World | Fughar | Use the Honorable Adventurer’s Certificate | Fughar |
– The season character will convert to a normal character when using the Honorable Adventurer’s Certificate.
– You can obtain the items [Season] Tuvala Conversion Stone Box, Gift Box Full of Memories, and Fughar’s Letter of Encouragement by completing the quests above.
– The item “Gift Box Full of Memories” contains the following items:
| Gift Box Full of Memories |

| ※ Additional Graduation Notices
– Unlike the previous season, you will not get any ‘[Season] Boss Gear Exchange Coupon’s’ by graduating from the Season+ server. * However, if you still have any [Season] Boss Gear Exchange Coupon obtained during the summer season, you can use those. – Although you have no exchange coupons, the quest “[PEN (V) Boss Gear]: The Old Moon Guild’s Best Deal” allows you to exchange PEN (V) Tuvala gear for TET (IV) Boss Gear that cannot be sold on the Central Market. – If you have an unused [Event] Black Spirit’s Pass, you won’t be able to use it after you graduate. Be sure to use the item and collect all rewards before graduating. – You cannot graduate with “Fughar’s Timepiece” in your Inventory. Tip! Fughar’s Timepiece is an incredibly special item that can only be obtained during the Season+ season. Although you can throw it away to graduate, we heavily recommend using it. ※ For more details on the Season+ Graduation, read the “[GM Note] Season+ Graduation”! |
●Changed the 7 types of boss gear exchange coupon quests to now be unified as one type regardless of the specific season said coupon was acquired from.
– As long as you have a Boss Gear Exchange Coupon in your inventory, you can accept and proceed with any of the exchange quests with Fughar. You may only accept and proceed with one quest at a time, but once completed, you may proceed immediately with another exchange quest.
※ While you cannot obtain a [Season] Boss Gear Exchange Coupon from Season+, if you have acquired any coupons from previous seasons, you may proceed with the following quests with said coupon in your inventory:

Progress Pass
Added the Progression Pass which, along with the Season Servers, aims to help New Adventurers adjust to the diverse content available in the world of Black Desert.

– The Progression Pass is divided into eight categories that include Quest/Adventure Log, PvE, Farming/Cooking, Hunting/Butchering, Training, Game Tips and Guaranteed PEN (V). Completing these categories will not only increase your in-game knowledge but also greatly help you with adjusting to the game.

– You can also earn up to five types of rewards depending on the number of objectives you’ve completed per category, for a maximum of fifteen different reward types based on your overall progress.

| Black Desert is already entering its third year of online service, and currently boasts a much broader range of content compared to its original launch. While Adventurers can enjoy a variety of available content, many newer Adventurers may easily become overwhelmed by the plethora of things to do. The Progression Pass was created to lessen the burden of choice for such New Adventurers by labeling the diverse content of Black Desert into specific categories. With the Progression Pass, Adventurers will now be able to plan out their own goals in playing Black Desert while also having access to valuable tips posted by other veteran Adventurers on the Adventurer’s Board by clicking the “scroll” icons. Taking on Black Desert in categorized portions will be easier to digest, allowing Adventurers to enjoy Black Desert at their own leisurely pace, and obtain useful rewards per category along the way.
May all of our Adventurers frequenting the world of Black Desert be able to experience thrilling adventures together with the Progression Pass by their side. |

Third, upgrade your boss gear to Reform Level V. – Concentrated Boss’s Aura are obtained via Simple Alchemy with +0/PRI/DUO/TRI boss gear. – Oquilla Sky/Earth Crystals are purchased via Old Moon Manager vendors.
Fourth, hand in your boss gear, upgraded to Reform Level V, to Jetina to obtain your PEN (V) boss gear! |
| We’ve added a guaranteed method to obtain PEN (V) boss gear. We actually spent long hours deliberating over this update. Plenty of adventurers have already enhanced their way to obtaining PEN (V) boss gear, so we couldn’t make the process to easy, nor too difficult for new adventurers who’d feel discouraged to attempt the content waiting for them beyond PEN (V) boss gear.
Thus, we designed this process by maintaining a level of difficulty befitting the value of PEN (V) boss gear by steadily increasing the number of required materials to upgrade the gear to PEN (V) grade in this new method. The process to upgrade your first boss gear out of the seven available equipment slots will feel comparatively easy as opposed to upgrading your next and subsequent pieces of boss gear. By “easy,” we mean that we adjusted the required amount of Silver and time per attempt.
Concentrated Magical Black Stones, Memory Fragments, and Magical Shards make up the basic required materials, along with special materials obtainable by processing existing boss gear to prevent their value from depreciating. As mentioned earlier, we spent quite a lot of time thinking about this new “guaranteed enhancement” method. We desired to provide these steps for new adventurers to take so they could also enjoy the process of seeing their characters grow, hence we focused on making sure this process could be completed via “in-game content” as much as possible. While we know we won’t be able to please all of our adventurers with this process, we hope that, at the very least, some of you will be able to experience the pure joy of witnessing your character become stronger. |
