This October 21st is the date that many of you have been waiting for. To be exact, it’s the start date of the Autumn Season Early Graduation!
In preparation for the upcoming early graduation, the GMs have put together this GM Note to explain what you might want to know about the Autumn Season and Early Graduation.
Now then, let’s begin!

What is the Autumn Season Early Graduation schedule?
Adventurers who’ve had their fill of the Autumn Season servers can start their adventures in the regular servers a bit earlier with Early Graduation.
While graduating early from the season server does mean that you can enjoy the regular servers earlier and equip gear that season characters can’t equip, it also means that you will no longer be able to enjoy the perks of the season servers and participate in any season server events.
So, make sure you’re 100% ready before graduating early!
Early Graduation Schedule | October 21, 2020 (Wed) after maintenance – November 18, 2020 (Wed) before maintenance |
Normal Graduation Schedule |
November 18, 2020 (Wed) after maintenance - December 2, 2020 (Wed) before maintenance ※ The end date of normal graduation is subject to change. |
Adventurers who graduate early according to the schedule above are classified as “Early Graduation Adventurers.” However, there are a couple of requirements you must fulfill before you can graduate early. Let’s find out more below.
What are the Early Graduation requirements?
Early Graduation Requirements |
- Achieved at least 228 main weapon AP and 291 DP (This does not include the awakening weapon AP listed in the equipment screen and is only 228 main weapon AP.)
- Adventurers who haven’t bought the Black Spirit Pass must have completed all of the “Season Pass Challenges” and received the rewards.
- Adventurers who have bought the “Black Spirit Pass” must have completed all of the “Season/Black Spirit Pass Challenges” and received the rewards. |
If you do not fulfill the early graduation requirements, you can’t use the “Honorable Adventurer's Certificate” item to become a regular character, so make sure to complete the Season/Black Spirit Pass Challenges and receive all the rewards before trying to graduate!
Additionally, if you’ve purchased an “[Event] Black Spirit Pass” and haven’t used it, you won’t be able to use the item after graduating, so that’s another thing you need to check your inventories for before graduating!
Now, once you’ve double-checked all the above and fulfilled the requirements, you’re ready to go find your ever-reliable companion in the season servers, the [Crow Merchants Guild Chief Manager] Fughar, and accept the quest “[Season Server Graduation] At the Crossroad” to graduate early.
Another thing! Early graduation isn’t something you must do! Adventurers who wish to take their time with the Autumn Season don’t need to graduate early.
Do I have to fulfill the requirements to graduate?
Don’t worry if you can’t fulfill the early graduation requirements.
After the early graduation period, normal graduation begins on November 18th (after maintenance), and anyone who wishes to graduate can do so without having to fulfill the early graduation requirements. At this point, you’ll also need to go to the [Crow Merchants Guild Chief Manager] Fughar, and accept the quest “[Season Server Graduation] At the Crossroad” once you want to graduate.
Same as with early graduation, make sure you check your inventories for an unused “[Event] Black Spirit Pass” since you won’t be able to use the item after you graduate!
