With the introduction of Jal, I had a multitude of ideas.
Squids
So, one resource we don't have is ink. Which doesn't make much sense with the quill and all.
What if there were squids in Jal? But the different thing is, they like to roughhouse. You can do the following actions:
Noogie - Upon selecting this action, you will have to press the left arrow and right arrow alternately in quick succession!
Arm Wrestle - Space, enter, or ctrl will appear on your screen. Mash that button like there's no tomorrow. Soon, it may change to a different one, which you'll have to switch to mash crazily as well.
Now, depending on your performance roughhousing with the squid, it may give you some ink for your time.

Oysters
Maybe sometimes, it will be possible to find an oyster in a boot. The oyster may contain:
Nothing
Currants
Tiny Pearl
Shiny Pearl
Large Pearl
A bead! (SUPERMEGAULTRARAREOHMAH)
Seaweed
Marine Transmogrifier
Essentially, this is a machine that just takes pocket salmon and turns it into other marine life (not releasable) like:
Shrimp
Tilapia
Anchovies
Others?
How's all this sound to you guys?
