The idea behind needing to absorb experiance was to promote roleplay as opposed to spending all the times just going out killing things.
So now you go out and hunt until you are pretty much filled up then either spend some time working on a skill that requires a little time and effort.
Then you can try things like gemcutting, carving or alchemy or do a little roleplaying with the others, or spend some time at the infamous card tables in Trevari's retreat. Or explore, spend time with a friend, plot on how to take over the world, relax in the hot tub in D'Mare, take the boat to the north pole like Gorm, Trenmarc and Datymin did.
There are many things to be found in Eaxia if you explore a bit, and don't need a frag to get to a lot of em.
