I do think that it should have just been another activity to do and an expansion for training other skills. Like a big one for construction.

[@__Brandon__]

Exploring makes more sense. Boats, magic carpets, fly brooms, and eagles as alternatives to running everywhere each with trade-offs. Island generation and treasure chests based on your explorer level. Fixing your boat gives construction. Working with your egal gives hunter, fixing your magic carpet or broom stick gives crafting. Exploring and shamanism should have been the new skills. Different kinds of poisons for your weapons or arrows. Different kinds of teas you can brew. And hybrids of herbalism and shamanism to make new brews. The boat combat is the only thing that is sailing related in the update. Everything else is related to another skill
