Potions are important in pretty much any video game you play, as they can deliver a variety of helpful effects. This holds true in Brighter Shores, as potions can even help you gain a bit more experience. While in Hopeport, you'll be able to level up in the Alchemist profession.
In this guide, we are going to take a look at a complete guide to potionmaking in Brighter Shores. Unlike other Hopeport professions, Alchemy requires ingredients from other areas of the world; for example, you can make an XP potion for the Crenopolis. As such, it will remain relevant no matter where you are.
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.
You can get started with potionmaking pretty much immediately! The only ingredient that you need to start is Brown Kelp, which is a level zero Foraging item that you will need to obtain during the tutorial portion of the game.
With some Brown Kelp, you can head to the Apothecary and start preparing the potion at the Reagent Preparation Station. After doing so, take the reagent and head to the Standard Potion Station to complete the potion.
In order to make the complete potion, you'll need to have bottles (one for each potion). Fortunately, these are pretty cheap; you can buy one for 20 copper, or a stack of 100 for two silver.
That's all there is to making your first potion! From here, you'll need to continue making potions to level up the skill. As new potions unlock, you'll need to gather the required materials, which are often obtained through foraging-type professions.
Like the Chef profession, being an Alchemist doesn't require you to purchase your own tools (besides some bottles). Instead, all the stations needed to make potions can be found within the Apothecary. Below, we've listed all Alchemy stations that you can find.
These stations will remain relevant through all 500 levels of the Alchemist profession.
As you level up in the Alchemist profession, you'll unlock new potions, as well as upgrade existing ones. For example, at level 14, you'll unlock the XP Hopeforest potion, but once you make it to level 110 in Alchemy, this will upgrade to provide even more experience.
You can make lower-tier potions if you have the right ingredients, but it's generally unnecessary. Potion upgrades are pretty linear and improve as you level up, so there is no reason to prefer something like a five percent XP potion over a ten percent XP potion.
Now, let's take a look at all the potions that you can make in Brighter Shores. This table will include the potion that unlocks at each level of the profession.
