I like the idea of ocean gems...pearls, doubloons, etc. though the current music boxes are great too...(apples are kinda cheesy, like the sammiches). Though I do see barnacle scrapping as the poor man's mining...takes longer for less resources/payout, but you can do it with no skills. It would be nice to have a barnacle scraping skill (like jellisac scooping) to at least activate a super bonus harvest sometimes.
Sorry to bump such an old thread, but I was just about to make a new ideas post about a Barnacle Scraping skill and this seemed pretty close after use of the search function.
No need to make a new thread :)
Anyway, I think it's a bit messed up that jellisacs and peat have their own skills and barnacles don't :P In fact, the bog skills, at four total if you count herbalism as one, are fairly neglected overall. The biggest skillset is Herbalism with TWO. Not cool. :(
I'm not a big bog guy, but the real bog guys need some more skills to invest in to improve their trade. :) As it is, I think tree harvesting and mining vastly out-benefit this field and it could use some tweaking. :)
