PROFESSIONS OVERHAUL + UNCAP
Files should be able to choose one specific profession to specialize in, making it their job and career choice. Uppon selecting that profession, you’ll be able to uncap it and level it to lvl 15, which grants additional gimmicks/features related to that profession, but also gives you gear related to it.
There could perhaps be some npc for questlines that teach you about the profession and uncapping it

Example of what the fishing max level ouftit could look like:
BREWER → DIONYSUS APPRENTICE
Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is Alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one and only truth

What the Jewelcrafter Max level ouftit could look like:
Additional
- Could maybe grant new unique structures for clan building, such as a mineshaft that you can go in which lets you have miners work in there to harvest gems or you yourself can work in.
- Jewelcrafting is already extremely strong as a profession so thats why this focus mostly on mining rather than crafting the gems themselves. If I were to give it more content then It would powercreep way too much
- Grants badge “Gaia’s Crafter”
CHARTER → TYCHE ARCHEOLOGIST
I've come to believe it's not so much what you believe … it's how hard you believe it.
Golden Hands (LVL 11) → You no longer dig up common chests, they’re always guaranted to be uncommon
Gold Rush (LVL 12) → Your shovel will start shimmering uppon approaching the correct digging spot, geting brighter the closer you are. You can also skip one step in Exotic+ Charts at their start, causing you to get more rewards at the end of the chart
Polyvalent Archeologist (LVL 13) → You now have a chance of obtaining modified Shovels when doing Mystic/Lost Charts, those modified shovels will have a variety of nicknames thats selected depending on the chart author name.
Those modifier shovels have modifiers imbued onto them, such as blasted,frozen etc. This allows you to have a 50% chance of the chests you dig up be imbued with the modifier in question, for example. If you use it on a place with the same modifier, it makes all of your chests are guaranted to have blasted on them.
Keep in mind those shovels aren’t guaranted to be obtained.
You can also “specialize” yourself, refusing to do any chart from an island you select, this means that you will not get any chart involving that island.
Diamond Eyes (LVL 14) → Increased chances of obtaining lost charts, +10% Loot on charts, you are able to skip one step of your choice in Mythic+ Charts
Legendary Conservator (LVL 15) → You are able to dig up “Modifier” Essences, Modifier essences are quite similar to Atlantean essences.
pratically 0% chances to obtain them from common-mystic
2% From legendary charts
5% from lost and mythics, keep in mind special essences such as imbued and gilded would also have a decreased chance.
IMPORTANT: YOU CAN ONLY APPLY THESE MODIFIERS TO ITEMS THAT CAN NATURALLY SPAWN WITH THEM, MEANING YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO APPLY THEM TO STUFF LIKE SUNKEN IRON.
Your fleet also has higher chances of diggingi up rarer stuff when doing the Exploring conquest
What the Charter Max level ouftit could look like:
Additional
- could maybe grant some unique structure to clan building & decorations, such as some sort of small museum with books containing various informations, potentially additional stuff about the lore.
- Profession receives an exp boost if you have “Bronze Sea Explorer” / “Nimbus Sea Explorer”

You will receive messages from other criminals telling about the exact whereabouts of the player (example: “i saw blank at northern wind-row island, i saw blank at the ruins in makrinaos, i saw blank fighting jorund near ierochos”)
What the max level bounty hunter ouftit could look like
Additional
- Having renown badges gives an exp boost to the profession, which gets higheer the more important the badge is (For example, Emperor of the sea would give a much better exp boost)
- Would grant some unique structure like a bounty hunter lounge where npcs meet and give you tips about combat or such, you’d also get some decorations. Maybe also grants you the option of building a collosseum on your island & prison?
- Some npcs stop attacking you(?), more specifically bounty hunter npcs
Reason to add/change
Adding this would allow for professions to feel way more impactful and unique rather than just one singular or two profession being necessary to level up, it could also help in giving more choices to files regarding their progression.
Some of these professions could also help curb & reduce the ridiculous price of some objects and stop people from having to buy them at a ridiculous price.
Keep in mind that the ouftits are ONLY examples, not what they should exactly look like, because like you’d be stealing from artists and stuff which I do not condone
