How to Use the Brighter Shores Calculator

This Brighter Shores Calculator is designed to help players plan their progression across various professions like Guard, Chef, Fisherman, and Woodcutter. Because Brighter Shores utilizes a specific experience scaling system, knowing exactly how many actions are required to hit your next milestone is vital for efficient gameplay.

Input Parameters Explained

• Current Level: Your current level in a specific profession.
• Target Level: The level you wish to reach (e.g., Level 20 for a new equipment unlock).
• XP per Action: The amount of experience gained from a single click or completed task (catching one fish, defeating one enemy).
• Actions per Hour: How many times you can realistically perform that action in 60 minutes, including banking or travel time.

Maximizing Efficiency in Brighter Shores

To reach level 50 and beyond quickly, players should focus on high-yield actions. For example, if you are training as a Chef, calculate whether higher-level recipes provide enough XP to justify the increased difficulty in obtaining ingredients. Often, a lower-level action performed more frequently results in a faster "Time to Level" than a slow, high-XP action.

Progression Tips

1. Gear Thresholds: Always set your Target Level to the next major gear or tool unlock to maintain motivation. Use this tool to see if you can reach that goal in a single play session.

2. Resource Management: If your actions per hour are low due to travel, consider upgrading your inventory or finding a spot closer to a bank or vendor.

3. Profession Synergy: Levels in Brighter Shores are often gated by different zones. Use the calculator to determine the minimum effort needed to move from Hopeport to subsequent regions.

Example Calculation

If you are Level 10 Fisherman and want to reach Level 20 to fish in a new area, and each fish gives you 40 XP, the calculator will determine the exact number of fish required. If you catch 150 fish per hour, you can see exactly how many hours of active gameplay are required to progress.
