add EXP for catching small creatures

such as rabbits, chickens, bugs, moths, fish, digging up earthworms, etc

the amount shouldn't be too high of course, but it should be noticeable, maybe something like 20-40 exp for each of those creatures caught? (of course the value could be adjusted if it turned out not to be a good amount)

for rare and difficult to catch things(if they are either of those), such as irrlight it could be like 2000 for each

at the beggining of world all of those could bring players a significant but not too big amount of exp, but after people progress in everything only fish that you get from nets, but that would still be useful

since those are not the typical activities that people would spend time on, those should not have diminishing returns on EXP

Neat concept, but irrlights can be factory farmed with a setup. I'd rather it just be a reasonable flat amount for foraged creatures only, with the rare ones being stalagoombas or something.

and how often do these appear? surely you will find some, but not so many that you will become an EXP millionaire

let us have 2K exp also from those

those are very rare, for those maybe 20K?

iirc, you make something like 50 campfires in a cellar since they bounce off the walls. It's enough that 2k xp would be very farmable.

did you do this and calculated how many of those you would find? I would be interested in the outcome, or perhaps I should do this myself?

and even if that's the case, then doesn't someone deserve it for taking the effort of such time-consuming project?

or do you mean to say that it should be 1K EXP per irrlight or other adjusted value?
