Welcome to the 29th edition of The Brighter Leek.
This week we are in the middle of the Project Milestone Phase 2 beta. Thank you to everyone who has tried it out. We have received a lot of useful feedback, and have implemented the first batch of improvements and fixes in response. We are still on track to launch Project Milestone Phase 2 on the week commencing 9th February 2026.
Firstly, we felt the word 'minigame' came with some expectations, which did not properly convey what they will be in Brighter Shores, and have decided to stop using that name and instead reclassify them as follows:
• Carpenter 'Logjam' is now a world event.
• Miner 'Chaos Mining' is now a larger part of the Mine of Mantuban 7 ⭐️ quest, and will return in dungeons.
• Blacksmith 'Filtration Station' is now part of Blacksmith bounties.
• Merchant 'Boxed In' is now listed as a new Merchant activity.
• Detective 'Smuggler's Bay' is now listed as a new Detective activity.
Secondly, we have decided to implement world events for all professions. This means Alchemist, Carpenter, Miner, Merchant and Detective will now have world events.
The Fisher bounties are scheduled to launch on the week commencing 23rd February 2026.
