{{Incomplete|Update history doesn't point to updates accurately.}} ▼[[File:Professions icon.png|left|64px]] '''Professions''' are skills that [[player character]]s can train and utilize throughout [[Brighter Shores]]. Players can gain [[experience]] to advance their profession level either by actively playing the game, or [[Passive activities|passively]] while the game is closed. Unlocking a new [[ Episodes|episode]] also unlocks a new set of professions, which can typically only be trained within that episode. ▼
As the name suggests, most professions can be used as a way to earn [[Coins|money]], though they have a variety of other uses, including fulfilling [[quest]] requirements, gathering resources to use in other professions, or processing raw materials into [[Item|items]]. Each [[Episodes|episode ]] also has one [[combat]] profession, the training of which allows players to attack new varieties of [[monsters]] and wield higher level [[weapons]] and [[ armourarmor]] in its respective [[Episodes|episode ]]. ▼▲[[File:Professions icon.png|left|64px]] '''Professions''' are skills that [[player character]]s can train and utilize throughout [[Brighter Shores]].

==Passive training==
{{Hatnote|Main article: [[Passive activities]]}}
Players can continue to perform certain profession-related activities while logged out of the game. Activities eligible for [[passive training]] are marked with a moon icon [[File:Passive activity icon.png|18px]]. Passive methods are unlocked by spending [[Knowledge|knowledge points]] after reaching the required level for that activity.
The amount of time one can spend training passively is limited to 24 hours, or by the number of input items in the player's [[backpack]] (usually one hour per item).
The amount of time one can spend training passively is limited to 24 hours, or by the number of input items in the player's [[backpack]] (approximately one hour per item). It has been observed that passive training methods scale down in experience at a rate dependent on the gap a player's level is above the method, roughly at a rate of one quarter once a new passive method is unlocked, and by one sixteenth once the player has gained level 200 in a given profession.
Passive methods scale down in experience rates the higher your level gets above the method you are doing. For example, the level 25 AFK method for Carpentry (making stools) returns 1950xp per hour at Carpentry level 25, and 950xp per hour at Carpentry level 30. More data is required to fully test this impact, but you should always aim to use the latest passive method you have unlocked to avoid losing experience.
