The fourth and current final area of Brighter Shores, called Crenopolis, is also the biggest zone in the MMORPG. In fact, it’s massive size compared to the other three areas can really make it quite overwhelming if you don’t know where to look. This is the complete Brighter Shores Crenopolis map so you can see where you need to go to find certain NPCs or quest locations.
Brighter Shores Crenopolis Map and Key Locations
As the largest area in all of Brighter Shores, Crenopolis is home to all the normal services such as a Dye area, Storage Rifts, Portal Stones, and an Obelisk. But there are also many areas that serve as raidable buildings as part of Crenopolis’ Detective profession. There are also many trade stalls for you to interact with for the Merchant profession.
Alongside the standard services, there are some Crenopolis unique ones as well including the Council Office, the Guardhouse, and the Merchants Guild. Despite the massive size of the city, it’s actually relatively easy to navigate once you know the layout.
Crenopolis Teleport Locations
There are two Portal Stones in Crenopolis, with the first one being located just outside the city and to the west. You’ll encounter the Crenopolis Outskirts Portal Stone just outside the West Gate of Crenopolis as you first head towards the area. You can find the Portal Stone just south of the Cyclops East Pass.
The second Portal Stone is located in the far east of the area, inside the city of Crenopolis. The Crenopolis Market Portal Stone is the fastest way to get around on the actual inside of the city, and can be accessed by going south from the East Player Market.
Merchants Guild
The Merchants’ Guild in Crenopolis is the main hub for completing the Merchant profession is Brighter Shores. The Merchants’ Guild, which is located on the eastern side of the city, is home to the Guild Bounty Board which you will use to complete delivery bounties for the Merchant profession. Just keep in mind you can only have six active bounties at a time.
If you’re actively trying to progress through the Merchant profession, you’ll constantly unlock more bounties that you can unlock at the Guild Bounty Board at the Merchants’ Guild in Crenopolis, so you’ll frequent this locale.
Guardhouse
The Guardhouse is essentially the central hub for the Detective profession in Brighter Shores. Inside the Guardhouse you will find the Guardhouse Lobby that has the Detective Depot NPC. Here you can purchase the various tools required for the Detective profession including handcuffs, magnifying glasses, binoculars, and evidence books.
Further inside the Guardhouse is the Investigation Hall that has access to Investigations that you will need to level up Detective. Finally, the Interrogation Room and Guard’s Archive are both home to various passive activities you can do to level up your Detective skill while offline or AFK.
Council Office
A Crenopolis exclusive area, the Council Office serves as the only place in all of Brighter Shores that you can change your name other than the first time you purchase a Premium Pass subscription and are prompted to do so.
Keep in mind, however, that you will still need an active Premium Pass subscription in order to interact with the NPC inside the Council Office and actually change your name.
City Dyes
Like the other major areas, Crenopolis is home to a City Dyes building where you can paint your various armors to stand out from other players in Brighter Shores. You can also dye various weapons to help stand out as well. The City Dyes area in Crenopolis is located in the southeast area of the city off of Ratmore Road.
Tannery
In the southeast corner of the map, just outside the actual city of Crenopolis, you will find the Tannery to the east of Tanners Road. At this building you can bring Hides you purchase from the Hide Stall on the Waterfront, which you can gain discounts for by leveling your Merchant profession.
Once you bring the hides to the Tannery in Crenopolis, you can use the hides on the various Tanning Stations to turn them into Leathers. From here, you can either sell your Leathers at the Leather Stall in the Outer Market in Crenopolis, or store them in your Leathers Storage until the fifth area of Brighter Shores is added to the game which will have Armorcrafting that uses the Leathers.
Crenopolis Storage Rifts
There are three Storage Rifts in Crenopolis, which like the other areas, allows you to store items for professions in them and will automatically apply them to the applicable storage.
The first Storage Rift in Crenopolis is found in the northwest corner on Murkwell Court. It can be accessed by heading North from Lord’s Road West, then north from Hopton Corner, then north again on Rat Alley. This is right next to the Crenobelisk area as well.
The second Storage Rift can be found on the northside of Crenopolis on Private Road. From Thadwick Square, head north onto Peacock Road South then north again on to Peacock Road Central. From here, head east onto Private Road and you will find the Storage Rift.
The third and final Storage Rift in Crenopolis can be found on the southern part of the map on Thimble Lane. This is a particularly useful Storage RIft because you can head south to Waterfront, by hides from the Hide Stall, head east to the Tannery and turn them to Leathers, then back to the Thimble Lane Storage Rift to store the Leathers.
Crenopolis Obelisk
All areas have an Obelisk in which you can tune your equipment to, which allows previously Untuned gear to be used in that zone. The Obelisk in Crenopolis is located on the northwest side of town, accessed by heading down Rat Alley then onto Murkwell Court, and then north to the Crenobelisk. Equipment tuned at this Obelisk will be useable for the Watchman profession in Crenopolis.
