Reaching Level 32 Carpenter Quickly For The Spider's Nest Quest

By Ryan • Last Updated: November 22nd, 2024

Unlocking level 32 Carpenter in Brighter Shores is key to progressing in Episode 2, as it grants access to a type of "deposit box" (Strange Stones) around the world, making gathering resources far more efficient. This Brighter Shores Carpentry guide will show you the fastest way to level up Carpenter with tips on maximizing resources, using efficient routes, and choosing the best logs to buy and sell.

Overview of Carpenter Leveling in Brighter Shores

In this guide, we'll cover why leveling Carpenter is essential and provide a step-by-step process to reach level 32 quickly. With two main methods to level Carpenter—one that's economical and one that's speed-focused—this guide combines elements of both for a balanced approach. You'll need about 260 silver total to reach level 32 Carpenter efficiently, and leveling your Woodcutter skill alongside will also save time and silver.

Requirements

To begin, you'll need:

• A Hatchet: For cutting trees, available for purchase from Maurice, the hatchet seller.
• Starting Silver: Around 79.2 silver for initial Carpenter supplies. Additional silver will make the process faster.
• The Two-Person Saw: Optional but highly recommended once you hit level 16 Woodcutter; it costs 64.8 silver and boosts your efficiency.

How To Get To Level 32 Carpenter Fast

Step 1: Gathering Wood in Timberwell Green

1. Find Maurice: Head east and then south three times from Hope Forest to locate Maurice, who sells woodcutting tools.
2. Start with Basic Logs: Begin by cutting trees in the Timberwell Green area. Your goal is to reach level 16 Woodcutter while slowly progressing in Carpenter by banking logs at the Carpenter's Workshop.
3. Upgrade with Each Level: As you unlock new trees, do 1-2 inventories at a time to keep your Woodcutter and Carpenter levels aligned.

Step 2: Maximizing Silver and Carpenter Experience

Once you've leveled your Woodcutter skill to 16, you can purchase the Two-Person Saw (if you haven't already). This saw increases your output and can be used solo. Here's a breakdown of the logs to focus on:

• Yew Logs: These are the most profitable at 22.6 silver per trip and are available from level 16 Woodcutter. They're ideal for gaining silver while advancing Carpenter experience.
• Rugged Oak Logs: Available at level 22 Woodcutter, these bring in about 21.2 silver per trip. If you've reached this level, these are a solid alternative if yews are scarce.

Step 3: Buying Logs to Reach Carpenter Level 32

With silver from selling yew or oak logs, you can move on to buying logs and processing them for quick Carpenter experience:

1. From Level 22 to 30: Buy and process Rugged Pine Logs. These logs are affordable and give substantial experience, making them ideal for the mid-level Carpenter grind.
2. From Level 30 to 32: Switch to Rugged Hickory Logs for the final stretch. You'll need about 150 silver to get from level 22 Carpenter to 32, so continue selling processed products if funds are low.

Best Woods for Cost-Effective Carpentry Leveling

Estimated Time and Final Tips

• Total Time: This method should take around 8-10 hours from start to finish, including reaching level 20+ in Woodcutter.
• Run Short on Silver?: Return to cutting yew logs to replenish your funds while continuing to gain Carpenter experience.
• Knowledge Points: Spend any available points to improve Carpenter as this will speed up processing logs and reduce costs overall.

Unlocking Strange Stones and Finalizing the Spider Quest

Once you hit level 32 Carpenter, you're ready to take on the "Spider's Nest" quest in Episode 2, which will unlock Storage Rifts around the game world. This will streamline future gathering by allowing you to store items quickly and efficiently, freeing up inventory space and saving travel time.

By following this Brighter Shores Carpentry guide, you'll tackle the Spider's Nest quest, unlock Strange Stones / Storage Rift spell, and enjoy a much more efficient gameplay experience. Master Carpentry and get ready for advanced challenges!
