That works :)
Also, I have started a new Outerworld run with low level characters. One of them was at about 83/96 XP but I couldn't resist checking the hammers. But when I left Outerworld he had levelled up plus an extra 9XP. Then again, it could just be the idle XP gains. But maybe the XP thingy works better on your low and midlevel characters but not the top characters.
Then again, seeing as I still don't have a clue what you are trying to achieve, I don't know... how to finish this sentence and I don't really know why I started it.
Hammers. Yay! One step closer, indeed ;)
