A question about the "Free for all" run

Hello!

So at the beginning of the map you'd usually raid the tomb right away to try to get a good artifact. Now, the arguably best artifact to get for speedrunning purposes is armageddons blade. It gives you an insane advantage early on to establish yourself on the map. A quite boring way to do this is to continually reset the run until you get it. This is time consuming and tedious.

How do we feel about starting the map on a save where the only thing you've done is to raid the tomb and get armageddons blade? So you don't have to try to get it over and over each time you want to speedrun the map? One issue with this is that you can then know what all the other artifacts are as well and play accordingly. I have one such file save and in that one I also know where book of earth magic is which can give me a very early town portal, which is also incredibly good for speedrunning.
