Single XP subcategory request and XP bomb workaround

Hi! I've been speedrunning this game for WR and WR improvement in the last few days and plan to continue doing so. Now since there isn't currently a double XP weekend going on, and XP bombs are pretty rare and inconsistent, it has felt to me like Single Experience is a very natural way to speedrun this game. I've read in an earlier post that if you got hit by an XP bomb during a Single XP speedrun, the run would inadvertently be ruined. I don't think so. Here's what workarounds I would suggest:

  • When a double XP bomb is active, you must either change servers or set your guild XP to 50% or higher. Setting your guild XP to 50% will keep all of the surplus experience away from you and instead transfer it to your guild.
  • If you accidentally receive experience from a mob or dungeon before taking those steps, you must set your guild XP to 100% until you've collected two more instances of that experience for your guild, and you may not complete the run or use your newly unlocked skillpoints/items/quests before you've done so.

What do you think?

If you can keep track of the XP gained for each mob, that works - though I had in mind also allowing that if say you slay one Enraged Undead with double XP, it's okay if you slay two more Enraged Undead with 100% guild XP, even if the first one gave 2x35 XP and the other two only gave 2x25 each
