I like more than 300 OXPs in total so before the OXZ era I made an OXP Collection but now you can use my recommendation packs. There are many small but good OXP which you probably missed if you do not spend hours reading through both the OXP List and the OXZ list. I have therefore made OXP collections for different player levels.
