That is a rather odd way to allow druids to earn more experience, especially given how long it can take to charge higher level lightcatchers. Also, Druids used to have a means to earn lots of experience: through carving. I do not remember which change it was, but carving experience, as a whole, took a major hit (unless I do not understand how the mechanic works).
