Picking up items you've never seen before gives LP
Building/tree chopping/stumplifting/other grindy tasks don't give any LP at all
I raised peaceful once, which raised change once, and I get 64 LP when I find something new
Oh yeah, discovering things. Forgot about that even more BS. But still new LP system is stuff. People think its "innovative" and "creative" and a "change of pace" but seriously it's crap. You play a game to have fun, not to wait. This isn't the DMV.
I like it, honestly. In other worlds most places you went to were completely empty except for a massive field of buckets, because bucket grinding was so prosperous.
While you're waiting, you can be doing things like chopping trees and getting supplies for your village.
