I said I wanted to stop going for top XP and Piety but I tried today again because the opportunity presented itself. Matched smuglapse's top Piety score but was off by 9 XP for his top XP score.
http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.c ... 6D4E3C50F/I tried to compare our runs. He probably got more bonus XP from higher level kills at the start (with some help from prepped TriSword) and probably killed more monsters with more Learning bonus (I got level 2 and 3 at the same time, which is pretty late, and only used that for 10 monsters left). Because it seems I got 2 more beads, 28 vs his 26 for enlightenment and I killed the boss at L7 whereas he did at L9. Still, I was off by around 10 XP.
@berpdreyfuss: I will definitely join the Purist club, but that's if I can manage to hit 100 first.
