Brighter Shores is currently in Early Access on Steam and as such, the content is subject to change. We will update these articles as required.

How To Start Foraging

To start foraging,you don’t need a single tool!When Hopeport first opens up to you, you’ll be a level 0 Forager, and only be able toforage for Brown Kelp.Fortunately, you’ve probably already gathered this before during the tutorial section of the game.

If you need a refresher, Brown Kelp isfound on the East Beach, directly below the Sea Road.By picking up the kelp here, you’ll gain some experience. You’ll need tocollect Brown Kelp until you reach level two.Once you do, you’ll be able to buy Secateurs, which are used to gather the level two foragables.

All Forager equipment can bepurchased from The Forager’s Warehouse,which is on thenorth side of Old Street East.This is the street area right before the Town Gates.

How Do Plants Upgrade?

Plants around Hopeport will upgrade as you level up, which allows you to revisit an area and have it still be relevant. For example, instead of putting Brown Kelp behind you,it will upgrade to Green Kelp once you become a level 47 Forager.

This is important to keep in mind when working on leveling other professions. If you see a dish that needs a potato variety,this will be the usual place that potatoes are found in.We’ll go into more detail on each foragable type and its location later.

How To Enchant Foraging Equipment

The three pieces of Forager equipment can all beenchanted at the Enchantressof Hopeport.Here, you may pay a hefty amount of silver togain an experience boost that is tied to the item slot.

This means that you’re able to buy the Secateurs enchantment for55 silver in order to get a 0.4 percent XP boost,and then purchase the upgraded Secateurs and still have the enchantment.

If you have enough money, we highly suggest enchanting your equipment, asit can make the leveling process go by just a bit quicker.
