The Scout profession in Brighter Shores shares many similarities with the Guard profession from Hopeport, but things change once you venture into the second Episode’s zone, Hopeforest. When you step into this new area, you’ll be outside the range of the Hopeport Obelisk, which means you’ll need to equip new weapons and armor, and restart your combat skills progression. As you level up your Scout profession, you’ll encounter stronger versions of enemies, so it’s important to stay cautious, especially around red enemies. In this guide, we will discuss how to level up Scout in Brighter Shores.
Scout In Brighter Shores
The Scout profession is essentially the same as the Guard profession in Hopeport. Once you travel to Hopeforest, the zone from the second episode, you’ll be outside the range of the Hopeport Obelisk. This means you’ll have to get a new set of weapons and armor, and you’ll also need to start leveling up your combat skills from the beginning. The rules for the Scout profession are the same as those for the Guard profession. Orange enemies will ignore you unless you attack them, but red enemies will start combat if you get too close. Some enemies in Episode 2 also have ranged attacks, so avoiding combat in Hopeforest can be a bit trickier than in Hopeport.
On the bright side, the Immunity Spell is still available and works the same way as before. You can use it to prevent combat in advance or to escape a fight during battle. Lastly, the level-up system for enemies is the same as it is for other professions. As you level up your Scout skills, you’ll start encountering tougher versions of lower-level enemies. Be extra careful when navigating areas filled with red enemies.
How to Level Up Scout In Brighter Shores
To level up your Brighter Shores Scout profession quickly, the key is to defeat as many enemies as you can, as fast as possible. Like with all professions, it’s important to keep a regional XP boost potion active at all times. For Hopeforest, you’ll need to gather some low-level ingredients from the area to craft the potion. One key difference between Scout and Guard is that, in Episode 2, you’ll need to join one of the three factions in the Magic Cave. This choice will give you advantages against certain enemies, but it will also make you vulnerable to specific types of damage. So, it’s important to keep an eye on enemy elemental strengths and weaknesses as you level up.
Enemies in Hopeforest are stronger than those in Hopeport. If you find yourself using a lot of potions or losing fights regularly, it might be a good idea to head back to easier enemies until you get better gear or level up a bit more. Some enemies are just tougher than others, too. As for your loot, you can sell all the extra equipment you find at the same place. Head to the Quartermaster in Hopeport, and he’ll happily buy any unwanted weapons and armor you pick up in Hopeforest.
