Like every profession, leveling up Gatherer requires you to perform the tasks that directly contribute to it. At first, this profession will seem similar to Forager, but there are some key differences between the two. Without any more delay, let’s look at how the profession exactly works in Brighter Shores and how you can level it up pretty fast.

How does the Gatherer profession work in Brighter Shores

To level up Gatherer, you’ll have to pick up different items. These would mainly be wild plants, which are common in the Hopeforest region. Some of these items are important to level up the Chef profession, as they help you to complete specific recipes.

Most of the items you’ll pick as a Gatherer will be required for Alchemist recipes. Brewing potions will be crucial to clear content in Hopeforest, as fights with enemies like the Giant Newt can be extremely difficult if you’re not using them. Leveling your Gatherer profession will directly help you to improve your Alchemist profession as well and save your resources from having to get more motions.

How to level up Gatherer fast in Brighter Shores

The main objective is to pick up the different things you can find in Hopeforest. Picking the higher-level items will help you gain more XP and level up your Gatherer profession quickly. If you plan to focus on your Gatherer profession, try to clear out your inventory as much as possible. Only keep a couple of XP Hopeforest Potion, which helps you get 5% extra XP from all your activities. This will allow you to level up all your professions quickly.

If you want to obtain an even better value from your work, try not to sell any raw ingredients. Instead, process them into potions and cooking recipes, allowing you to get better returns from the items you collected. You’ll also level up your Chef and Alchemist professions quicker through this process, which will help you prepare better for the Mines of Mantuban region.
