Farmers gather from their animals every day — milking cows, collecting eggs from chickens, shearing sheep, collecting dung from pigs. None of it gives any CXP.

The Professions document gives the Farmer CXP work — fields, milling, breeding, baskets and pottery — but the daily animal gathering is not in it. The only animal CXP in the system is Ranger kills.

This was suggested back in 2022 — 2 CXP per gather — and I am suggesting it again: a small amount of CXP per animal gather. Per cow milked, per chicken collected, per sheep shorn, per dung collected. The compass already gives small CXP per item found, so there is a precedent for small gathering CXP.

It does not need to be much. Just something, so the daily animal work counts for the farmer too.

Good news: this is already in. Since 3 November every animal gather (milking, eggs, shearing, dung, and the beehive) pays 1 Farmer CXP per gather, through the same daily allowance as crafting. It goes to your _active_ profession, so make sure your character is currently set to Farmer when you gather. If you are, and you’re still not seeing it, tell us your character name and we’ll look at your gathers.
