Brighter Shores AFK XP farming guide

To AFK XP farm in Brighter Shores, you can create concoctions at the Apothecary shop or utilize a Passive Activity. The second option allows you to accumulate XP even when you’re not actively playing Brighter Shores. However, if you’re just starting out, the Apothecary method is a good way to get a head start, as the Passive Activity requires a significant amount of grinding to unlock.

Acquring materials for the Apothecary Profession is the first thing you need to do for this method. You’ll collect Brown Kelp from the Forager Profession during the beginning stages. Then, you’ll work your way up to other materials with the Secateurs tool. Collect as many items as possible to create a bunch of recipes at the Apothecary. Set yourself up at the Reagent Preparation Station, and your character will start crafting all available concoctions automatically.

Use this time to step away from the keyboard, allowing you to come back for some nice and easy Alchemist XP points. You can also use the Standard Potion Station to make potions, which provides even more XP.

How to AFK XP farm with Passive Activity in Brighter Shores

Now, let’s move on to the following Brighter Shores AFK XP farming method with the Passive Activity. You’ll unlock this feature after you’ve acquired Knowledge Points, a system available to those who reach Level 20 with a specific Profession. Here’s what steps you need to take:

  1. Reach Level 20 in a Profession
  2. Continue to level up in this Profession until you gain a Knowledge Point
  3. Unlock the Passive Activity
  4. Participate in designated Passive Activity
  5. Log out of Brighter Shores
  6. Return to gain some XP

As an example, I focused on leveling up the Guard Profession by engaging in repeated battles. Once I reached Level 20, I got the chance to earn the next reward with the Street Louse Passive Activity.

More grinding is involved after this, but it doesn’t take as much time as the Level 20 step. If you are trying to do this route, just start defeating enemies again, and you’ll gradually see your Knowledge Points go up. At 100 percent, you can unlock the Street Louse via the Knowledge section. Go to Wilhope Passage near the Hopeport Obelisk to begin this task.

Start attacking the Street Lice there, where you’re permitted to log out and begin the AFK XP Farm.

Once you return after some time has passed, you’ll receive a notification that provides your XP for the designated Profession and some money. The longer you’re gone, the more rewards you’ll collect. That way, you can level up your character without too much grinding, saving you the stress of constant Profession activities.
