   Usage: mine <object>   - Mine ore from rocks (requires pickaxe)
          chop <object>   - Chop logs from trees (requires axe)
-         fish <object>   - Fish from fishing spots (requires rod/net)
+         cut <object>    - Same as chop
+         fish <object>   - Fish from fishing spots (requires correct tool)
 
   Gathering skills use a tick-based action system:
   1. You begin the action (e.g. "You swing your pickaxe...")
   2. After a wait (reduced by tool speed), the game rolls for success
   3. Success picks a weighted random drop from the object's drop table
-  4. Depleting drops remove the resource temporarily; rare drops don't
 
-  Tools: Items with tool_type and tool_speed. The best matching tool in
-  your inventory or toolbelt is used automatically. Higher tool_speed
-  means faster gathering.
+  Tools: Items with tool_type and tool_speed. A wielded tool always takes
+  priority. Otherwise the first matching tool in your inventory is used.
+  Higher tool_speed means faster gathering.
+
+  Bait: Some fishing spots consume bait each attempt. If you run out,
+  the action stops.
+
+  XP: All successful gathers award XP. Enable the "xpdrops" toggle to
+  see XP gains with each drop (e.g. "+37xp wct"). Fishing catches award
+  XP based on the specific fish caught.
 
   Numbered targeting: "mine 1.rock" targets a specific instance when
   multiple objects of the same name are present. "look" shows instance
   indices and depletion status.
+
+  Two depletion mechanics:
+  - Per-drop (rocks): Depletes on first successful gather. Respawns
+    after a fixed delay.
+  - Shared (trees): A despawn timer counts down while being chopped.
+    When it hits 0, the next successful gather depletes it for everyone.
+    If no one is chopping, the timer regenerates back up.
