Like the guy said, there are 3 kinds of "exp stars" as I call them, that flow out of a mob when it dies, blue for char exp, yellow for SP, red comes on occasion (zerk gage), believe me IMO Zerk gets easier and easier to get as your higher lvl and fight stronger mobs, I can get full zerk in 1-4 min. on Flowers
So typically 2 scenarios
SP Farmer : not many blue stars, several yellow, on occasion red
"Grinder" : several blue stars, not many yellow, on occasion red
