Fen Research’s Brighter Shores is an MMORPG from award-winning designer Andrew Gower. The adventure MMORPG is currently in early access on Steam, with the early access duration expected to be around 6 months, offering hundreds of hours of free gameplay.

Brighter Shores has plenty of weapon and gear choices found and collected around Hopeport. However, some of them are untuned and need tuning for better use. The tuning feature is not available in the game by default; however, you can unlock it by completing one of the early quests, “The Obelisk.” Here is a step-by-step guide on how to complete “The Obelisk” quest and unlock the tuning feature.

Completing the tutorial adds the Obelisk quest to your journal. You can start the quest by interacting with Commander Hackett, an NPC on the walls at the town gates. The primary task of the quest is to tune the two weapons provided by Commander Hackett at the Hopeport Obelisk. However, you need to complete several actions to prepare the Obelisk for tuning.

Head to the Hopeport Obelisk

First, find the Hopeport Obelisk, located south of Brannof Boulevard. When you arrive, an NPC working on the Obelisk will ask you to find the missing spike.

Find the Missing Spike

The missing spike is on a bridge that crosses over the Wilhope Crossing canal. You’ll find the bridge on your way from the Town Square to the Eel Street Bridge in the south. Pick up the spike on the edge and return to the Obelisk.

Interact With Naybeth the Philosopher

Return the spike to the NPC, and you will receive an instructional tablet. You need the help of Naybeth the Philosopher, an NPC, to decipher the tablet. Head to the town gates area of Hopeport to find Naybeth’s house. Enter and interact with her to receive four more tablets. You must place them on the four stone pedestals at the corners around the Obelisk to activate it.

Place the Tablets 

This is where the main instruction tablet comes into play. You need to place the four tablets in the correct position using the tablet as a guide. When you open the instruction tablet, you will see a letter “N” pointing down, indicating that the north should be behind you when you are facing the Obelisk. Using this clue, place the four tablets on the stone pedestals by matching the symbols to activate the Obelisk.

Unsuppress the Cryoknight’s Magic

Now, the Obelisk activates, but it’s not yet ready for tuning. You need to complete one final task. At this point, you may notice a Cryoknight has appeared at the site, with its magic suppressed. Seek out Anjay for assistance. Head to the training ground area to find Anjay and interact with him. Then, return to the Obelisk to complete the process. A cutscene will play, showing the Cryoknight’s magic restored, and the Obelisk powered up and ready for tuning.

Tune the Weapons

Interact with the Obelisk to tune the two weapons provided by Commander Hackett. Once done, return to Commander Hackett at town gates and the quest is done. Hence, you have unlocked the Tuning in Brighter Shores. You can now use the Hopeport Obelisk to tune your untuned weapons. 

Along with the reward of free use of the Hopeport Obelisk, you will also receive Uncommon Wall Guard’s Sword and 10,600 Guard XP points for completing the Obelisk Quest.
