First Time Kills
The first time you kill a particular mob, you get a bonus to the XP. A normal mob will give you 2x the XP, a named mob will give you 5x the normal XP. Clicking on a mob will tell you if you haven’t killed it before.
Rested XP
Each character builds up a rested buffer that can increase XP, BP, RP, or bonus to crafting speed by 50%. Your rested buffer reaches 100% after not logging in for 7 days which diminishes if you log in and reap any rested reward.
Exploration points
Certain areas in the world grant you experience for discovering them. Some are in hard to find, or reach places.

Both crafting and enhancing items can reward you with XP. See the crafting page for more information
