I just want to know some effective ones.


You mean you're going to walk in and out of grass/water until you get experience if someone tells you those are effective? If so, that kind of ruins the whole point of the system, dontcha think?
It is nice to rest your weary bones from time to time. It is nice to lay down your burdens. It is nice to have a seat.

It is meant as an anti bot measure so you actually have to play the game. The encounters are completely random.

So just progress in game and the xp will come.

I think in another thread it was mentioned that XP is only earned when you complete an unknown assigned task.
For example, right now you're secret task might be to change biomes. When you do, you get the message and earn your XP and your task changes to find a willow tree. You won't earn any more exp until you right click a Willow. Then your exp task changes to something else.

If this is how it works, there is no way to know what to do if you run out. You just need to keep performing game actions to earn the XP

Shooting an archery target gave a little bit of exp per shot depending on where you hit the target At least I think it was exp. Maybe that will help.

EDIT --

Seems the numbers are just for fun, my bad xD

If that is true, then some players are going to be screwed over. Some characters specialise in different tasks. And a newbie character isn't going to try and hunt a bear or whatever.

Well in theory they are, but since they are random and also seem take into account what you already have done lately it would have to be a bot that does things really really slow.

They mostly trigger when you do something you haven't done in days.

Why? They will just be forced to not be so strictly specialized.
As for
And a newbie character isn't going to try and hunt a bear or whatever.

I highly doubt that the devs didn't took that into account. I'd guess that there are many options from which you can get exp, that cover most difficulty levels. Maybe all of them change each time you get an experience? Or if you don't get an experience for a while?

That seems to be a good weapon against bots, and against people that have many alts each specialized in one thing.

feels like it might end up being more of an anti specialisation thing, I mean surely a bot still gets quite a few of these exp events they are for like literally anything.
