Since my accidental death-pact-with-boss "win" a month ago, I've been looking to try it on purpose to get a super low XP. Today's single boss with Bear Mace (Spell Shield might be enough?) and GETINDARE through TT made it possible.
I got to level 3 then switched to Drac for Blood Curse. I started burning down the boss with Mana pots and BLUDTOPOWA, then I saw that my last hit would kill him before he got a chance to kill me. So, I finally figured out I had to switch back to TT to get the Reflexes potion(I only had 5 gold left) and then piss him off so I could get weakened enough so that the boss would die to the knockback rather than my actual hit. I then successfully died and made a win for the leaderboard.
What I don't understand is why I had 30 XP. I got exactly 15 XP for level 3, then Blood Curse'd to 4. I then killed two popcorns to get enough piety with TT to bring my total to 17. The summary page shows I hit level 5 after killing the boss, but why would it only give me 13 more XP?
