Gathering Experience Module

Description

The Gathering Experience Module is a custom addition for AzerothCore that enhances the gameplay experience by rewarding players with experience points (XP) for gathering professions: Mining, Herbalism, Skinning, and Fishing. This module aims to make leveling through gathering more engaging and rewarding.

Features

• Grants XP for gathering items from Mining, Herbalism, Skinning, and Fishing.
• Individual profession toggles that persist through server restarts
• Scales XP rewards based on player level, current skill level, and current zone.
• Implements diminishing returns to balance XP gains and prevent power leveling from low level characters in high level areas.
• Includes zone-based XP multipliers for fishing to encourage exploration.
• Configurable enable/disable option and announcement on player login.

Installation

1. Clone this module into the modules directory of your AzerothCore source.
2. Re-build AzerothCore.

Usage

Once installed and enabled, the module works automatically. Players will receive XP when they gather items from supported professions.
