Kudos to Kastellyn for doing a lot of the grunt work associated with this. Observation Experience (OXP) is a cousin of Exploration Experience (EXP). Adventurers who rack up large amounts of it gain experience, improvements to existing skills, and/or brand new skills.

Its helpfile:

Those adventurers posessing both sharp mind and keen eye during their travels
throughout the realms may find additional benefits from their observations,
extending beyond the initial knowledge gained. Paying close attention to
their surroundings, discovering out of the way or rare objects and gazing upon
strange creatures or important individuals will add to the more general
benefits of the wisdom accumulated in their professional life. In addition,
their ability to recognize the attributes of items found, without the use of
spellcraft, will improve as they increase their knowledge of the realms.

Adventurers who continue to seek out new and exciting creatures places may
find themselves able to earn additional (minor) skills beyond those offered by
their adventuring guild. Observation experience also carries the benefits of
other kinds of experience (combat, exploration, commerce, etc.), including
gaining levels.
