Fishing encyclopedia and pearl shells

The fishing encyclopedia reveals knowledge gradually: after the first catch it shows the species and basic records; at 5, 10 and 25 catches it unlocks bait, time and zone clues; at 50 catches it reveals depth and seasonal activity; at 100 it shows the complete personal card. Activity is described with words rather than internal numeric multipliers. The card tracks total catch weight, best weight and length, first- and best-catch dates, trophies and records. Special albino, rare-colour and golden variants are stored on the individual catch and shown in inventory. They are collectible variants and do not independently change combat stats or sale price.\n\nA pearl oyster can be sold like a regular catch or opened from inventory. Opening consumes one fresh shell; the server rolls: empty 70%, small pearl 20%, pearl 8%, large pearl 1.8%, black pearl 0.2%. Rewards are 0, 1, 2, 5 or 20 pearls respectively. Pearls are credited to the physical port-storage stock and synchronized with the existing pearl balance. A catch cannot be opened twice.
