Brighter Shores: AFK Fishing Guide

As an avid gamer with countless hours spent mastering the art of catching virtual fish, I can confidently say that Brighter Shores has truly outdone itself with its AFK fishing mechanic. With my fingers now permanently fused to the keyboard due to countless hours playing RuneScape, I’ve finally found a game that puts my idle skills to good use!

As a gamer, I’ve found that diving into the world of Brighter Shores can sometimes feel like navigating through a labyrinth with its complex mechanics, even more so than the classic game RuneScape that sparked this intriguing early access adventure. Unlike RuneScape, where you need to be actively engaged, there’s an option here to level up skills entirely without any keyboard or mouse input, but it comes with a few preliminary steps. Here’s a quick guide on how I managed my own AFK fishing experience!

AFK Fishing Guide

Initially, it’s crucial to level up Fishing to reach level 20. This is an essential step because you can only access the initial “AFK” node for this skill at level 20. If you are just starting out in the game, here’s a quick summary of your journey to reach level 20:

Level 0 – Buy a Fishing Spear from Melv’s Fishing Supplies (check the map image below) and start catching flounders in the East Beach area.
Level 2 – Catch eels at the Eel Street Bridge just south of the Town Square.
Level 4 – Head to the southeast of the previous location to reach Wilhope Crossing, where you can catch some pufferfish.
Level 6 – Go back to East Beach to catch olive flounders.
Level 8 – Go back to Eel Street Bridge to catch gray eels.
Level 10 – Go back to Wilhope Crossing to catch lonely pufferfish.
Level 12 – Return to the East Beach for stone flounders until you reach level 16.
Level 16 – Catch rocky eels back at Eel Street Bridge.
Level 18 – Finally, start catching lemon pufferfish at Wilhope Crossing until you reach level 20.

As a gamer, I’d put it like this: “I find that this is the simplest route to take for mastering the skill. The fish you catch will level up as you progress, but if you ever want to revisit an earlier step, just right-click on them and choose ‘past action.’

Important: Don’t utilize your knowledge point right away! You’ll require one for the upcoming phase. If you use it unnecessarily, you’ll have to accumulate more points again.

The AFK Method

Since you’ve reached level 20, it’s time for you to purchase a fishing rod first. You can find one at Melv’s Fishing Supplies. This will set you back 72 silver coins, which should be quite manageable by now if you’ve been selling your caught fish.

Apart from that, don’t forget to pick up some bait and crates at the fishing supplies store. For Dabs specifically, you should get buckets of sea slugs which cost 3 silver apiece. It is said that one bucket of bait is equivalent to a crate full of fish, so make sure to buy an equal quantity of both before you start fishing for extended periods.

Additionally, here’s another way: Not only that, but if you click on the “professions menu” and then move to the “View Rewards” option next to the “knowledge experience bar”, you will find the “Fisherman/Fisherwoman” option listed under “Hopeport”.

To start with, you’ll need to have reached level 20 in fishing and possess a knowledge point that is automatically earned by progressing in any skill within the game. Once these prerequisites are met, you can enhance this skill further and discover the initial AFK technique available.

After acquiring the relevant know-how and gathering all required fishing gear, it’s just a matter of heading straight to the secluded Eastern Pier, located in the Harbor District.

As a gamer, I’d put it like this: “On the water, you’ll come across ‘Dab’ nodes. Interacting with them will display the ‘Passive Activity’ message at the bottom of your screen, letting you know that this process carries on, even when I’m not logged in.

Keep in mind that activities such as this one, which don’t require active participation, tend to yield significantly less experience points compared to more interactive tasks. This is a compromise for not having to constantly engage with the game, and it’s generally advised for use when you’re disconnected from the game.

Essentially, that’s all you require to initiate AFK training for your fishing abilities in Brighter Shores. As you progress, more advanced variations will become available, but the fundamental concept remains consistent. So, accumulate knowledge points and continue honing your fishing skills!
