How to Master Merchant Routes with the RouteFinder

By Ryan in Resources • Published on November 18th, 2024

The Brighter Shores Merchant RouteFinder, developed by Reddit user /u/yawshie, is a game-changing tool designed for Brighter Shores players. This tool simplifies the complex process of planning and optimizing merchanting routes, enabling players to maximize efficiency while completing bounties.

What Is the RouteFinder?

The RouteFinder leverages Dijkstra's algorithm, a proven method for finding the shortest paths in a graph, to create optimal routes tailored to the bounties you select. By considering the current state of your unlocked rooms, quests, and den raids, it ensures every trip is calculated for maximum effectiveness.

What Is Dijkstra's Algorithm?

Dijkstra's algorithm is a way to find the shortest path between two points, like connecting cities on a map. It works by starting at one point, checking all possible paths, and always choosing the shortest option until it reaches the destination. Think of it like planning the quickest route through a maze by exploring the easiest paths step by step.

How It Works

Select Your Bounties: Choose the bounties you currently have in progress. The RouteFinder analyzes these selections to determine the best sequence and paths to complete them.
Configurable Settings: Include additional room access unlocked through quests or den raids to improve route accuracy. This feature ensures your journey includes all possible shortcuts and pathways.
Dynamic Bounty Management: If new bounties become available, you can opt to wait and select them. The tool recalculates the best routes, suggesting which bounties to prioritize and which, if any, to abandon.

Time-Based Optimization

Unlike traditional distance-based planning, the RouteFinder prioritizes time efficiency. It provides Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) for each step, helping players gauge the speed and precision of their progress.

Why Use the RouteFinder?

The RouteFinder saves players hours of planning and experimentation by providing:

Accurate route suggestions tailored to your current bounties.
Time-saving recommendations that improve overall gameplay efficiency.
Flexibility to adapt to new bounties dynamically.

Whether you're a veteran merchant or a newcomer navigating Brighter Shores, this tool ensures you stay ahead of the game.
