In many ways, the Scout profession works pretty similar to Guard, which is the first profession you pick up (rather, start with) inside the game. The nature of the two professions is pretty similar as well, but there are subtle differences. Let’s take a look at how you can become an expert Scout in Brighter Shores and the activities that you’ll need to prioritize in order to level up quickly.

Brighter Shores Scout profession explained

In many ways, the Scout profession is an upgraded version of the Guard profession. While both professions will be active at the same time, you’ll need the former to defeat enemies in the Hopeforest region. When it comes to combat rules, however, it’s pretty much the same.

Enemies marked in red will always attack you if you come too close. Those marked in orange won’t attack you unless you start a battle first. It’s quite natural that the enemies in Hopeforest are far more complex, and some of them can even attack you with ranged damage. Thankfully, you’ll have the use of a new set of weapons and armor to dispose of the dangers. Let’s take a look at how you can level up this profession in Brighter Shores.

How to level up Scout profession fast in Brighter Shores

Leveling up Scout is pretty similar to leveling up the Guard profession. You’ll want to engage with and defeat as many enemies as possible. But always try to be careful not to start a fight with a foe you can’t possibly defeat. Additionally, the Hopeforest region allows you to pick a faction once you discover the Magic Cave.

Aligning with a faction will make your attacks better against certain types of enemies, but you’ll also be on the receiving end of greater damage. Always make sure to focus on the elemental weakness of an enemy you’re going to face.

Lastly, having the XP potion boost enabled in Hopeforest will help you gain 5% extra XP. Unlike a few other professions, leveling up Scout entirely depends on you playing Brighter Shores and gaining the XP directly.
