*SPOILERS* Dailies Thread

Extra glyph was Apheelsik. Regular shops had Hero's Helm, Midas Gloves, Health Pendant, Whurgarbl, Plate Mail, Battlemage Ring, Badge of Honor, and Vampiric Blade.

Today's daily wasn't too bad, considering I had not played a daily since last year. JJ boons, Blue Bead and Mage armor made for easy dispatching of Tower of Goo, and Iron Man is a pretty straight forward kill with some regen fighting.

@Tinker: Sounds like you played around with the gods and monsters and had fun!

Gnome Warlord in Western Jungle
Basically auto-pilot today. Good glyphs, good shop pool, good level-up fodder, easy dungeon in general. I prepped GG and the other two deities were Binlor and Tikki Tooki.

The other default is JJ, but everything was around the outer rim of the map, so I waited until after killing the boss to worship anything. I decided to go mono-TT. I found JJ real late, and the sub was the last tile I uncovered.

Elite items does give you Guitar and Zot, though.

Gorgon in Hexx Ruins
While I was a little apprehensive here and prepared to have to deal with Stheno with some resistances, the natural spawn of HALPMEH, IMAWAL, and ENDISWAL gave me so many options to deal with Revenants without expending resources that this was a straightforward dungeon. Earthmother, Binlor, and Jehora Jeheyu all spawn naturally, giving great combos both for the class and dungeon and lots of desecration antics if you're into that. A platemail in the shop pool sealed the deal and made this run completely smooth. Second boss is Bleaty, who is totally survivable given today's generous loadout.

I messed up terribly today. I nearly had Bleaty down when I ran out of steam. I managed to down him after some more exploring and changing to EM for mana refills to use ENDISWAL, but effectively killed him twice over. I still had a quarter of the mobs left when I had no blackspace or potions left. I used the death protection amulet to get a first hit on Stheno, which left her with 28% resistances after sucking in everything, and then I desecrated EM to get CA, which left Stheno with 8% resistances and me with just enough resources to get her low enough to use my deathgaze finishing move. To close for comfort...

After reading all the above, I was very apprehensive about today's run. Luckily, it wasn't that bad after all. I played carefully, and started killing mobs before finding any gods. When I found both JJ and EM (around the same time), I decided to go under EM as she really shines due to her awarding piety for stoning Revenants. Played carefully, doing 1 kill at a time, stoning the new Revenant, then breaking both it and the stoned mob just killed.

I don't really know how the whole Metal Spider Temple thing works exactly (what's the way to have both HP and mana saved in the Essence Potion?) but went in to get Whupaz and Essence Potions at level 7 (ready to ding to 8).

Didn't bother to use Entanglement for all kills, only when I needed it for higher level kills as I didn't want to clog up the whole map with plants. Also, I didn't stone every Revenant, most of them I just killed them especially towards the end when mopping up and preparing for the final fight (was also low on mana and blackspace then).

Super happy that I managed to through sheer luck and consequences, be able to get just enough XP to level up to Prestige 2 before converting to JJ for CA. Wasn't even sure until the very last moment - I was at 25/55 XP and needed 30 XP exactly to level up. There was Stheno and 1 last mob at the lower right corner (just had to break a few stoned stuff to see what it is). I counted before checking it out and it needed to be a level 9 for me to get 30 XP exactly (10 + 9 + 5 + 4 + 1 + 1 = 30). Was overjoyed when I saw it was indeed a level 9!

So, my luck helped me get top XP spot today, lost out slightly to smuglapse for the top Piety spot.
