XP Drops – Oldschool Runescape

Project Zomboid Gets an Oldschool Runescape XP Boost

Get ready to inject some serious nostalgia into your Project Zomboid survival experience! This fantastic mod brings the satisfying visual feedback of Oldschool Runescape’s experience system directly into the zombie-infested world. If you’ve ever found yourself craving that little dopamine hit with every level gained, this mod is for you.

Experience the Grind Anew

The core of this mod is its faithful recreation of the classic Runescape experience bar. As you diligently level up your skills in Project Zomboid, you’ll see experience drops pop up on screen, much like in the beloved RPG. This visual cue not only provides that satisfying feedback but also serves as a constant reminder of your progress as you tackle everything from carpentry to combat.

Customization is Key

One of the standout features of this mod is its flexibility. The experience bar isn’t just a static element; you have complete control over its placement on your screen. Want it tucked away in a corner? Easy. Need it front and center during intense skill-building sessions? That’s no problem either. Furthermore, you can choose to hide the bar entirely if you prefer a cleaner interface.

The mod also offers granular control over which skills trigger these satisfying experience drops. By default, it smartly excludes skills that tend to generate rapid, “spammy” experience gains, such as Strength, Fitness, Lightfooted, Sneaking, and Maintenance. However, you’re free to customize this list to perfectly suit your playstyle.

Key Features at a Glance:

• Oldschool Runescape-style experience bar for Project Zomboid.
• Visual “experience drops” for a satisfying feedback loop.
• Fully customizable bar placement on screen.
• Option to hide the experience bar when desired.
• Configurable skill tracking – choose which skills display XP gains.
• Immersive icons, including improvised Runescape-style icons for many skills and Project Zomboid icons for weapon skills.
• Compatibility with modded skills (though icons may be missing).

Polished and Improved

Recent updates have focused on enhancing the user experience. Text display has been refined to work correctly with various font sizes, ensuring readability for all players. Long skill names in languages like French and Spanish are no longer an issue, preventing overlaps. The configuration window itself has also seen improvements, ensuring all text and checkboxes fit neatly within the window.

This mod is a fantastic way to add a touch of classic gaming flair to your Project Zomboid adventures, making the grind feel even more rewarding.
