Sacred Grove + loss of exp

"Players can no longer gain or lose experience in the following areas: Absence of Mercy and Empathy, Absence of Patience and Wisdom, Absence of Symmetry and Harmony, Absence of Value and Meaning, Crux of Nothingness, Eye of the Storm, Polaric Void, Seething Chyme, The Sacred Grove, The Shaper's Realm, and The Maven's Crucible."


But, I just died in the Sacred Grove, and lost my exp.

Just to confirm, Sacred Grove as in the Oshabi fight, or Sacred Grove as in the in-map Harvest merchant?

First one is a boss-only arena, second one isn't.

oh ok. That wasn't specified. I am talking about the map event. I was doing crop rotation. Oh well.
