Professions

Professions are skills that player characters can train and utilize throughout Brighter Shores. Players can gain experience to advance their profession level either by actively playing the game, or passively while the game is closed. Unlocking a new 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 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 items. Each episode also has one combat profession, the training of which allows players to attack new varieties of monsters and wield higher level weapons and armor in its respective episode.

Passive training

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 . Passive methods are unlocked by spending 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 (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.

Experience

Note: Knowledge Points will always provide the player with 25% (1/4) of the base experience needed to level up at that current level. This will also scale with each level the player gains. Once a player reaches level 200 in a given skill, knowledge points used for experience in that skill will be reduced to 6.25% of the base experience needed to level up.

The following tables shows the relationship between the profession level, the experience required for that level, and the experience difference from the previous level:
