...Okay.
So I know the Wiki is out-of-date, but I can't find information on leveling Masteries on the Guide, so it's what I'm referring to.
The Wiki claims that foraging an Osmium-quality item gives you 15 EXP points, Gold gives you 12, Silver 9, and Bronze 7.5.
I started with 80 Foraging experience, and I foraged 17 Osmium quality items, 20 Gold quality items, and 1 Bronze quality in one day. According to the information on the wiki, this should have given me a total of 502.5 EXP, added to the existing 80 I already had, so I should've woken up the next morning with 582-583 Foraging EXP, depending on how the game rounds these things.
Instead I woke up with 159.
I also chopped three hardwood logs in the Hidden/Deep Forest and collected maple syrup and pine resin that same day, but have had conflicting info on whether either of those things awards Foraging EXP. In any case, collecting 38 items, all but 1 of which was Gold-quality or higher, and receiving only 79 Foraging EXP feels... wrong.
Also I'm unsure if this is relevant, but all but 3 of the foraged items were ocean forage, not surface forage.
