Complete Overview to Professions in Brighter Shores

You begin your journey in Brighter Shores with all Professions starting at level 0, where each Profession has only a single task available. As you gain experience and level up, it can become increasingly challenging to determine which tasks are the most valuable and time-efficient. Our aim is to equip you with the knowledge to assess and calculate the most effective ways to level up each Profession, helping you make the best use of your time and resources.

At level 20, every Profession will unlock the opportunity to gain passive XP. You must use a Knowledge Point on the Profession passive activity when granted with a point. Passive activities allow you to gain experience while completely offline, but at a slower pace than active activities.

On average from level 20 up to level 200 it takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes to level up when playing actively depending on the profession, activity, XP bonuses and focus. This is consistent across the whole game. Passive activities take approximately 10 to 12 hours to level up.

This changes slightly at level 200 onwards where it can take approximately 60 to 120 minutes per level playing actively, but passive activities remain at the same 10 to 12 hour range - making them about 4x more effective at these levels.

By actively training you have gained 1 Knowledge Point! Choose a reward to spend it on. This is possibly the best sentence you can hear in Brighter Shores! You have the option to advance a Profession Passive XP method if the level requirement is met. If you prefer otherwise, you can convert your Knowledge Point to a lump sum of gold or XP!

Some players like to level up their favourite Passive XP activities and just continue to advance them when you can, as they can spend the rest of the points on the additional XP option. As it doesn't benefit to upgrade many different Passive XP activities. Others just unlock everything as they go as you only need to spend the point once to unlock it forever. It is worth noting some quests require you to unlock the relevant passive activities to get items required for that quest. Passive activities at level 200 onwards require 4 points to unlock instead of 1.

Bounties are available for two Professions. Chef and Merchant both use bounties as a way to earn additional XP and gold. Bounties will be located in the top right of your screen below your Professions tab. You can see where to start a new bounty by searching for the bounty icon on the map. We highly suggest you take advantage of the Bounty Board when trying to level up the Chef Profession.
