Rebalancing professions

Artisan: Higher-quality ingredients produce higher-quality artisan goods.
In most cases, artisan goods will have the same quality as the items they were created with. Gold or Iridium quality cheese/goat cheese/mayonnaise can only be made with large versions of animal products.

Agriculturist: Crops grow 10% faster. Fertilizer becomes more effective.
Basic Fertilizer ensures that all crops are at least Silver quality, and provides a chance for crops to be Iridium quality. Quality Fertilizer ensures that all crops are Gold or Iridium quality.

Rancher: Animal products worth 20% more. Animals require less attention.
Removes friendship loss when animals are not petted for a day.

Coopmaster: Coop animals may produce multiple products in one day. Incubation time cut in half.
Whenever a coop animal produces a high-quality product (ex. Duck Feather), it also produces a low-quality product (ex. Duck Egg).

Shepherd: Friendly barn animals produce products every day. Pregnancy chance doubled.
Goats can be milked every day; sheep produce wool every day. Cows can be milked again (yielding Milk) if Large Milk was produced. (must be done manually)

Tapper: Two syrups are always harvested at once.

Tracker: Location of forageable items revealed. Foraged items have a chance to be Iridium quality.

Trapper: Crab Pots no longer require bait and are easier to craft.

Mariner: Fish caught from Crab Pots are always Iridium quality.

Luremaster: Crab Pots no longer produce junk items.

Defender: Gain a little health every time you hit an enemy.
Restores 1 health whenever you deal damage to an enemy.

Desperado: First strike has an increased chance to score a critical hit.
If enemy's HP is full, critical strike chance is multiplied by 15x. (Galaxy Sword = 30%)

Acrobat: Cooldown on special moves cut in half. Slingshots deal more damage when firing stones.
Base damage of stones is increased to match that of Iron Ore.

Blacksmith: 50% chance to smelt 2 bars at once.
Still consumes only 1 coal.

Excavator: Chance to find geodes doubled. Geodes can be broken at any time.
"Consuming" a geode while holding it will break it open.

I do think a few of the game's professions are clearly the best for a given track, so it would be good to see a bit of balancing to make other options also worth it.

alternate ideas

Blacksmith: Small chance (10%) to receive a metal bar when mining ore nodes, instead of ore.

Artisan: Processing time of Preserves Jars and Kegs cut in half.

previously proposed effect (input quality = artisan quality) would be added regardless of profession. Large Eggs would instead produce two Mayonnaise each, etc.

Excavator: Staircases always appear under gem nodes.

The current Level 5 Fighter upgrade Scout is incredibly underpowered I think. Some bigger crit modifiers would be much nicer for me I think.

Yeah, it would be nice to see the critical strike feature re-balanced. Or maybe instead have the combat professions benefit specific weapons rather than just give you general boosts.
