Brighter Shores starting quests introduce you to Hopeport and its characters. One early quest you’ll pick up is called The Lost Shipment which has multiple stages to complete. After talking to Captain Shirker on-board the Vincible and the locals at the Hooked Hand, you’ll be told of ‘The Illusion’, a local gang leader and master criminal.

Brighter Shores: Complete Guide To Fishing
Fishing is a relaxing profession that you can take part in while playing Brighter Shores. Here, you can learn all there is to know about it.
To get in contact with the gang leader, you’ll need to hide a note inside a Fetid Flounder and place it on the Frequently Fresh Fish Stall. However, the Flounder requires level 25 fishing and you need to head to the Overgrown Pond to actually catch it.
How To Level Up Your Fishing Quickly And Catch The Fetid Flounder
To actually catch the Fetid Flounder, you’ll need to reach level 25 in fishing. This is quite the task – we reckon it will take at least a couple of hours of non-stop grinding to reach this threshold.
As you catch fish with your fishing spear, you’ll unlock different types of fish to catch. To quickly level up, always make sure to catch the highest level fish available to get that initial experience boost.
That being said, it’s actually easier to catch Eels or Pufferfish because they are closer to the fish stall where you can sell the fish. Otherwise, you do a lot of running back and forward while you could spend the time fishing.
Likewise, you can craft experience pots to boost your experience while completing tasks.
Where Is The Fetid Flounder Located?
The Fetid Flounder can be found at the Overgrown Pond just north of the Sea Road. The fish only becomes available to catch when you’ve hit level 25 and will not appear in the pond beforehand.
