Have you noticed the hourglass symbol on some items in Brighter Shores and wondered what it is all about? You are not alone! Many players have been curious about its purpose. So, let’s find out!
The hourglass icon represents Ventures, a feature that allows you to set up tasks that reward you later with passive experience and currency. You will spot this symbol on certain items, in the skill page next to specific skills, or even on the map, hinting at skill levels required or quests that need completing to unlock a Venture.
What Are Ventures?
Ventures are essentially daily activities you can complete with minimal effort for solid rewards. A classic example is using lobster traps: set them up, wait for the timer to finish, and collect your rewards. Other Ventures might involve sending NPCs on missions.
To take part, you will need to meet certain requirements like reaching a specific level in a skill (e.g., Miner, Merchant, Fisher, or Detective) or completing a related quest.
Why Ventures Matter
Ventures are an easy way to earn experience and gold without too much hassle, so it is best not to skip them! They are a great boost to your progression, especially as you tackle your daily tasks.
