Today brought some exciting news for Brighter Shores players: the latest patch introduces Leaderboards along with various Quality-of-Life improvements and bug fixes. Let’s go over everything that is new!
Leaderboards have officially been added and are now live in the game, letting players compare their progress and achievements. To participate and join the leaderboards, you have to opt-in via the Privacy Settings in the Settings Interface! Once activated, you can check your ranking by opening the Community Tab, where your friends list is located.
But that’s not all! The November 24th Patch Notes, which have been released by Andrew Gower on X earlier today, bring even more updates and fixes, including:
Quality of Life Improvements
- Add an additional reward to the quest ‘The Brannof Inheritance’. If you have already completed the quest you can claim the additional reward from the treasure chest.
- Change the ‘Target is already engaged with another player.’ message to be a notification, instead of a dialog.
- Add damage kind icon to the weapon crafting design books.
- Players in a passive activity can no longer be engaged in combat by aggressive monsters.
Graphics Improvements
- Improve rapier attack animations.

- Fix all spottable thieves disappearing if you are on a particular step in The Battle for Fortunehold quest.
- Made it harder to miss out on the reward for minecart work by skipping the chat.
- Stop the player crawling in various places.
- Fix oak tree not outlining in Treeway Trail.
- Fix sense spell sometimes highlighting things which are outside the current room.
- Fix various places where other players skip across a tile, instead of travelling across it normally.

- Further improve the route finding of large npcs.
