This is caused by the Simplified Main Questline, which is selected by accepting the quest, [Season] Birth of Prestigious Family, from the NPC Alustin in Velia after completing the quest, The Sage of Velia, with a season character.

After next week’s update, both the simplified and original main questline will be changed to display a selection UI that will allow you to choose between either version of the questline and prevent confusion on which questline you are in.

* You won’t be able to do the normal main questline if you progress through the simplified version, so make sure to decide which version you wish to progress before you complete the quest, [Season] Birth of Prestigious Family!

* The Season Pass rewards for the main questline can all be obtained regardless of the version you select.

* The simplified main questline replaces the existing main questlines of Serendia, Calpheon, and Mediah.

* The ‘Main Quest’ window at the right side of the in-game screen will also be changed for the simplified main questline.

You can think of the simplified main questline as a shortcut. By completing all 14 simplified quests, your character will end up at around the same state as if you completed the Mediah main questline. Just like completing the normal main questline, you’ll also receive all the same items you need, such as Inventory Slot Expansion Coupons, Naru Gear, etc., by completing the 14 simplified quests!

Overview of the Simplified Main Questline (14 Quests):

TIP! You don’t have to progress through the main questline to level up your character! You can also defeat monsters to get the Combat EXP you need.

Just open your World Map (M) and look for an appropriate Monster Zone to level up. Try inviting a guild member or friend to help you defeat monsters even faster!

And what if you don’t want to spend time defeating monsters? You can also get Combat EXP from sub-quests and repeat quests in each region!

Adventurers who select the simplified main questline will need to talk to the Black Spirit after completing Fughar's Memorandum questline to clear some of the Season Pass Challenges.

After next week’s update, you’ll be able to start and progress through the simplified main questline if you create a new season character after deleting or transferring from a previous season character.

Since there are two cases for being able to exchange PEN (V) Naru Gear for Tuvala Gear, let us explain both below.

1. Original Main Questline

Once you complete the entire Mediah main questline, you’ll be able to exchange PEN (V) Naru Gear for PRI (I) Tuvala Gear with the NPC Fughar.

2. Simplified Main Questline

Once you complete [Special Growth] Fughar's Memorandum - Chapter 8, you’ll be able to exchange PEN (V) Naru Gear for PRI (I) Tuvala Gear with the NPC Fughar.

* For more information about Fughar’s Timepiece, please refer to the [GM Note] 2021 Summer Season!

Wait. You’re saying you’ve already used Fughar’s Timepiece, yet you want to change your season character to another class? Unfortunately, you’ll need to delete your season character and create a new one, but be warned that deleting a character means that all its items are deleted as well!

While you can get the Beginner Black Stones, which are used to enhance Naru Gear, from the main questline, there are other ways to get them as well!

1. 
   The Leveling Aid Boxes for level 40 to 55 contains Beginner Black Stones for you to obtain.
2. 
   You can heat the Black Stones you obtain by defeating monsters or completing events/quests to get Beginner Black Stones!
