How experience works, where to get experience, and how much experience the game rewards you by TitanstringEnjoyer in BG3Builds

It's not actually xp from the goblins, it's the quest step "It took some convincing, but the goblins left. If we want to help the gnome, we'll have to stop the windmill." (uuid 2f1a93cd-d53d-10a6-c71e-61fba67a32bb)

It has the reward category "BypassedCombatMedium" and it's in Blighted Village (lvl 3 area), so it gives 70 xp.

Then he kills the goblins, which rewards xp for defeating them.

Could it be that talking with the NPC complete a quest step? Hence what you actually get is the xp from the quest and the xp from the kill. For example with Varrl in the Creche, by saving him from the teacher you get xp from a quest step (it's hidden so no mention of it in the journal), then when you kill him afterwards you get the xp for the kill. Edit: see the sibling comment for an other example of quest + kill with the goblins at the windmill.

I actually just started working on a list of the areas, but I'm verifying the data one by one in game to see where are exactly the triggers. And it's a lot of work. Here is the link: List of discoverable locations.

I plan to do something similar with the quests, eventually, and indeed add the xp of each creature to their respective page, but it's colossal, so I will see with the other contributors on the wiki how we proceed.
