Making the most of progression and knowledge points in Brighter Shores can feel quite overwhelming at first. However, the community has shared some fantastic tips to help others level up efficiently. Players sharing their input and knowledge with beginners is especially helpful, and thanks to Reddit user AramisFR, we now have a clear breakdown that will save you time and make your adventure more enjoyable in turn:
Levels and Knowledge Points Breakdown
- Levels 0-20: These are a breeze! Progress is rather quick.
- Levels 21-200: Slower grind; focus on using knowledge points for skill advancement and meeting quest requirements.
- Levels 201-500: A true test of dedication; leveling takes significantly longer, so every point counts.
- Knowledge Points: Grant 25% of a level up to Level 200, but only 6.25% after that.
Leveling Insights
- Levels 0-20
These early levels fly by, giving you a chance to explore the game without much commitment to specific skills. It is also a great time to experiment and unlock your main story quest. - Levels 21-200
This is the “normal grind.” Experience requirements increase drastically, but using a knowledge point still grants a hefty 25% boost. With activities offering more XP as you progress, leveling remains steady here. - Levels 201-500
The endgame is a hardcore grind. Levels demand four times more experience than before, and knowledge points become far less effective at just 6.25% per use. Progress slows dramatically, and it requires a lot of dedication to master skills.
Tips for Efficient Leveling
What to Focus On
- Reaching Level 200 in all skills is doable over time, as the difficulty between levels 20 and 200 does not change much.
- Quest requirements rarely exceed Level 60 in any skill, so there is no rush to max out early.
- Specialization kicks in after Level 200, where progression slows significantly.
Skill Speed Guide
- Fast Skills: Combat, detective, and merchant skills tend to level up the quickest.
- Mid-Leveling Skills: Gathering skills can start slow but pick up speed with better tools and Episode 2’s Spider Quest.
- Slow Skills: Processing and crafting are the slowest but require fewer actions, making them ideal for semi-AFK play or knowledge point use.
Extra Tips for Early Levels
For those grinding until Level 50, here is a quick method shared by raykhazri:
Run two merchant tasks that involve items like soap, carrots, and plates.
- Wait at the merchant board for contracts matching this combination.
- Teleport to Crenopolis Outskirt, buy soap, grab plates near the butcher, and pick up carrots at the groceries.
- Finish by visiting the Waterfront for Jennaler and Toy Stall Tanners Road.
Each run can give 50-51% Knowledge, which is a huge boost for early progression!
