@Tinker: Thanks,

I usually try to find a balance between getting XP and Piety (trying to max both) and so I don't auto-convert anything (glyph) that I get.
Plus, Wonafyt is such a great glyph for getting extra XP, especially useful at low levels when you don't have the ability to get very high level kills. And just using up all those MP you get through exploring the map may end up giving you a very big head start with Mystera if you happen to find her first.
I guess I am so used to this playstyle I have for dailies that I forgo any early advantage from glyph conversion. You know, I try not to convert any at all in the hopes that that they can net me more piety (GG, Taurog for glyphs conversion). Also, I may forego picking up the first 1 or 2 glyphs I find and postpone them for other "better" glyphs that I am sure I can make use of for the rest of the run - For example, Bysseps and maybe Lemissi (will leave these on the ground if my inventory is quite packed already which is like most of the time with all the preps).
Usually, I can get within top 5 if not in the top 10 for both XP and Piety (usually top for this one). Sometimes, it depends on luck because if I don't prep any gods, then I think the end results will vary based on how the run pans out.
