Well, it was nice beating my previous streak and getting on top 10 current streaks again, but I'm going to have to miss several days. Good luck Nikolay!

So, my theory seems to be right:

1. Default: GG, JJ, PM
2. Conjunction: Dracul, GG, JJ, PM
3. Dracul + Conjunction: Dracul, GG, JJ, PM
4. JJ + Conjunction: ? (According to my theory, it should be the same, i.e. Dracul, GG, JJ, PM)

So, anyone who hasn't attempted the daily wants to try the 4th option to prove that my theory is correct?


About the run itself, I missed out on beating Tinker's 365 XP top spot by 4 XP. Could have gotten it if not for the mistake I made. I started with GG, took Humility, did higher level kills, converted over to JJ at L6 (when I had enough piety to take Petition).

Silly me, I forgot that the Tormented One has phys. resists and I was wondering why I did so little damage to it - I could take a hit from it at full health, had precasted Cydstepp, had thrown 2 fireballs (with my 12 mana). Then, I used the Schadenfreude from the sub and even bought and drank a reflex before hitting it (to knock it through 2 walls). I noticed my mistake after seeing that its health is nowhere near what I had expected it to be, and I tried to "salvage" the situation by killing lower level mobs to get more piety (I did some lower level kills before to make sure I had around 10+ to 20 piety to be able to drink the 4 mana potions, had taken the Alchemist Pact by then, and was thinking of drinking 4 mana potions to be able to do 2 more hits from casting Cydstepp). I hadn't picked up Bludtopowa, and I should have gotten the last mana booster to push my mana up to 13 but because I was too close to leveling up, I accidentally hit 7. It was too late - silly me, I should have just use Bludtopowa to convert my health to mana to spam fireballs, then with the Schadenfreude and DP, I could have gotten more mana, etc. basically just fireball the boss to death at level 6. Killing at L6 gives 24 XP (4 x 3 + 2 + 10 = 24 XP) and killing at L7 gives 18 XP (3 x 2 + 2 + 10 = 18 XP). With that 6 more XP, I could have just edged out Tinker's top spot, (stupid me for making this stupid mistake). Or actually, I could have just gotten Cleansing for Consecrated Strike before converting to JJ, that would have helped tons with what I originally did.

I'm surprised that top xp is only 20 xp higher than what I got with casual play and some PM shenanigans at the end.

Between the last time I commented on how rare DD was (1 to 2 weeks ago) and this run, we have had 3 runs in DD already, so it's really just natural RNG at work,

Today's bosses are a little tricky but still manageable (Tomithy, Iron Man). Imagine if we had both or just 1 of SMM and Frank, that would have been total hell,

Preps-wise, I prepped Spoon and Tri-Sword and the shop pool was A little tricky point about the preps is the Vampire Blade which 2 of the gods will frown upon. Default gods were The subs were Default glyphs were
As for my run, I started with EM, converted to TT for the mop up and for his help to deal with the tougher boss. Got 1 shot of learning with TT (could have been 2 but my piety score would have suffered). Lastly, I converted to GG and just barely squeezed out enough piety for Enlightenment, though it was a 0 bead Enlightenment (but I did manage to get quite a bit of piety with GG by dumping my items). Top XP and Piety at the moment, probably can be beaten (maybe, as I mostly just did 1 level higher kills before I found Balanced Dagger and only did 1 of the bosses at a lower level, I think it was at L6, the other I killed at L10).

That was quite a nerve wrecking dungeon. I didn't even stay to mop up, I was just too relieved to have killed the bosses. Perhaps it would have been a bit less unnerving if I had read ~'(^ + ^)'~'s spoilers, although it probably wouldn't have changed how I played.
