Gathering:  
* It would be nice if gathering felt more universal across the board. By this I am referring to skill experience and other special items being more universal for all types of gathering and the main difference being the item gathered. Right now I feel as though if I am not gathering (insert profitable skill but low exp/hr) anything else is a waste of energy. As it stands if you want to "power level" you have to do herbs to do so because the experience is calculated on how many spaces are filled and not the quantity of item. There could be multiple ways to fix this such as limiting stack sizes of other items in the collected item window to 5 per stacks for instance. This way if 20 meat are harvested that would equal 4 stacks thus more experience.

Processing:
* Main thing with processing is that it is mostly afk and very little interaction. It would be cool if there was a more active version of this lifeskill like with fishing that adds some benefit such as higher success rate or a buff to success rate that you have to keep doing something to keep it up. However, one could still be able to afk like with fishing.

* The addition of a contribution item like with cooking would be nice since fishing now has this as well and is equally if not more afk than processing.

Fishing: 
* Main thing here would be a mastery rework to something that is more beneficial such as chance at higher tier fish or more fish/hr as some examples.

Trading/ Farming / Trade / Sailing/ Barter
* The experience for doing these activities are to low when compared to the other life skills and the rewards not offsetting this slow progression. I would not know where to begin to suggest options for improving these skills as I rarely interact with all but the first 2.

Items:

* I would like to see Manos accessory and cloths enhancing updated. A PEN Manos accessory is going for the same as a PEN Blackstar weapon but is unable to be protected with cron stones or the use of fail stacks to improve odds. At a minimum please let us use J hammers on these items because I have nothing to use them on that directly benefit myself as a lifeskiller.
* I would also like to have dried fish/meats/blood reworked into maybe groups or something. Bank space gets limited when there are several types of similar stuff that get used for the same thing. For example split dried fish into dried small fish meat, medium, large etc.  I believe it would be a huge quality of life update.

Thank you for reading and please give feedback!

Milk is the lowest exp. Agris fever doesnt even work on milk or hunting. Alchemy still needs rework as well low exp and not worth the money as cooking is.
