Six skills, one total.

Fishing, Salvaging, Combat, Fishkeeping, Breeding and Crafting each earn their own XP from their real activities. The Skills page shows progress within the current level, your next milestone and a derived total. Reading menus and passive timers do not manufacture skill XP. These are activity masteries, separate from individual fish levels and the original Keeper talents. Existing talent purchases remain valid. Fishkeeping shares a 60-XP limit per active care minute; old confirmed activity receives a modest one-time migration credit. Ranked trials use their own equal-tackle rules.
