Hello, i wanted to suggest some potential new in game items to improve lifeskilling in general.

Firstly i wanted to suggest a Pearl store item that would be a permanent cooking utensil (and an alchemy utensil version). This would allow lifeskillers to instead of filling an entire house with utensils to spam have a singular one so your house can still look pretty at the same time.  It would either allow you to 'store' 10-20 utensils in it at a time and pick which one you use or some way of feeding utensils into it to a maximum durability. Ideally this would consume the current utensils so it doesnt interfere with the market/demand for current utensils and also remove the need to take out utensils and delete them in your inventory. This would be a great Quality of life upgrade for those who like to have a pretty house and do lifeskills at the same time.

Along the lines of Cooking and Alchemy, it is possible to have an mastery style item like the processing stones for them. A Loggia/Rojurus/Manos Cooking Spatula for example, or a Cookbook were my ideas for it. For Alchemy a Ladle or Cauldron that would slot in the lifeskill slot for a mastery upgrade too.

For fishing, have a permanent upgradable version of the Crio's Fishing Chair in the same vein(loggia/manos versions etc), it can still lose durability like that chair but repairable/brandable etc for the fisherman among us.

Hunting could do with a hunting specific butchers knife for hunting mastery, and should Farming ever be effected by mastery a Hoe for Farming mastery would be great as well. Alternatively if you dont want mastery levels to get too high too easily, these items dont necessarily need to have +mastery on but instead maybe Region specific buffs. The cookbook for example could have different names like Serendia or Balenos or Mediah Cookbook and the buffs they give are to proc rates on crafts that are from that region. So the cooks who cook Balenos meals would want a Balenos cookbook and the ones who craft Valencia meals would want a Valencia Cookbook. 

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
