What is the September 8th Season Reset?

On September 8th of each year (the annual Reset Date), tier status points reset to the Adventurer baseline (0 points) so all members can compete for refreshed Quests and new digital badges. Unspent reward vouchers in your wallet remain active until their individual expiration dates.
