Works the water for catches no land trade can reach.
One of the twelve professions. Every trade runs from level 1 to 10 and keeps its own level and experience; a character can hold all of them at once, from character level 20, for no gold.

Perk ladder
Each level unlocks the perk on its row. The last column is what you actually have at that level: a perk never lowers a value an earlier one gave you, so a strong level-6 signature carries on until something beats it. A perk marked new is unlocked once and stays.
