Editing Episodes

'''Episodes''' are packets of content, containing new [[non-player character]]s, [[monsters]], [[profession]]s, and [[room]]s, that all contribute to the main storyline of [[Brighter Shores]]. Players can unlock new episodes by progressing through the game's storyline. Currently, four different episodes are available, with the fifth having been announced within the game's patch notes, and the sixth being knowingly leaked. Two episodes, the [[Mine of Mantuban]] and [[Crenopolis]], can only be accessed by players who have bought a [[Premium Pass]].
