A simple questline will follow, designed to level up your character.\
Throughout the questline, you will receive various bonuses, gear, and items to help you reach the final goal – level 61.

Additionally, seasonal characters have access to the <mark style="color:yellow;">Season Pass</mark>, which rewards players with various items for leveling up.\
There are two types of rewards: standard rewards and [Black Spirit Pass](https://bdocodex.com/us/item/320115/?sl=1) rewards, which can be purchased from the In-Game Shop.

After reaching level 61 and claiming all rewards from the questlines and Season Pass, you need to convert your character to a normal status for a more comfortable gameplay experience.\
To do this, start the questline "\[Season Server – Graduation] Standing at the Crossroad" from NPC [<mark style="color:yellow;">Leyla</mark>](https://bdocodex.com/us/npc/59223/?sl=1) in Velia.

Once the questline is completed, your character will become a normal character and will be able to use standard gear and mounts.\
You can either use the Tuvala gear obtained during the quests or claim a boss gear set from the Achievements section.\
In addition to the gear, this achievement also grants a starter pet set and an 8th-tier horse.
