How to get and complete Chef Bounties in Brighter Shores
A bounty board is a staple in numerous MMORPGs, but the first one you come across in Brighter Shores resides in an unusual spot: the Chef's workshop. Found in the Delectable Dab Restaurant's kitchen, the Chef's bounties make you play the delivery boy for takeout orders. If you want to make some quick XP for the next Knowledge Point progress, this is something you should look into.
In this guide, we'll tell you everything about the Chef's Bounty system: how to take one, what it involves, and why you should do it.
How to unlock the Chef's Bounty system in Brighter Shores
As you may have guessed, the Chef's Bounty system is directly tied to the Chef profession in Brighter shores. Specifically, you must reach level 9 in this culinary skill to gain access to this activity.
If you haven't started with cooking in this game yet, here's a complete Chef profession guide to explore those early levels. Most of it is done in and around the Delectable Dab Restaurant at Stone Street, located opposite the Apothecary from the tutorial.
Once you do reach lvl 9, the Chef's Bounty Board can be found to the south-east corner of the Delectable Dab kitchen. Interact with it to get started.

How do Chef's Bounties work in Brighter Shores?
The Chef's Bounty Board has four orders that demand a set amount of a specific dish be delivered to a specific NPC. The bounties reroll once every hour—but once you accept a bounty, you can keep it till completion.
Active bounties — ones you've taken — are listed under the Bounty menu at the right of your screen, under the Professions icon. There's a total of six bounties you can hoard at a time, and you can discard any of them by clicking on it and clicking Abandon. There's no penalties for this.
Once you've taken a bounty, the task is straightforward:
- You have to, of course, cook the dish.
- Once you have the right dish in the right amount, you can click Show on map on the bounty to see its location.
- If it says that the location is not discovered yet, you'll have to do some exploration till you find it.
- Afterwards, it's just a matter of running over to that location. Once you spot the intended NPC, click on them and click Use item on to deliver the takeout.
The Chef's Bounty system arguably single-handedly makes the culinary profession the best one in Hopeport. Not only can you earn a lot of money this way, but the large amount of XP you accrue count as active XP, and add towards your next Knowledge Point progress. Not to forget, you also get the base XP from cooking the dishes themselves—making this the best way to farm Knowlege Points overall.
