Welcome to the fifth Brighter Shores Weekly Leek.
The Hopeport 6 ⭐️ quest is finished, and will be launched next week!
Work on player to player trading has begun. It won't be ready for a few weeks, but we can share some details.
• Player to player trading will be opt-in. Once you have completed the Crenopolis main quest, you will be able to choose to play as either a 'Guild Member' who can trade, or a 'Lone Wolf' who cannot.
• There will be a seperate leaderboard for Lone Wolves and an indicator alongside their name.
The game update will also come with some rebalancing of the profession requirements of some quests, to bring them in line with their ⭐️ rating. We will post the full details of theses changes with the game update. The one change that affects the weekly leek, is that the existing Hopeforest 3 ⭐️ quest (Spider's Nest) will now be a 2 ⭐️ quest, and the upcoming Hopeforest 2 ⭐️ quest will now be a 3 ⭐️ quest.
