Piety farming tips and tricks

This run uses the fact that lunaris lvl 2 takes 8 minutes to reset , by keeping your run in under 8 minutes , you can easily get to lunaris lvl 3 on the same instance. Refresh lvl 2 or do normal piety runs until you get an instance with the lvl 3 entrance close to the waypoint.

Now just run to piety while clearing all the big mob packs , do not stay and finish every single mob, just aoe down the packs and leave straglers behind.

Always use 1 or 2 adrenaline quicksilvers ( quicksilvers with + movement ), they are bugged now however , the adrenaline bonus isn't working. But this will be patched very soon.

In lunaris level 3 , always go up the stairs and never go down any other stairs.( obviously )

In lunaris 3 , when you get to the part with all the carts , always pick the side that only has one cart at the entrance , the side with 2 carts is the dead end.

There's always a blue pack right behind the second gate in lunaris lvl 3 , and next to the portal to piety.

If you have to tp back to piety to pick up more rares and are getting close to the 8 minute timer , just quickly go to lunaris lvl 2 waypoint and back to town, so you get all the time you want to ID/vendor items.

I always get lost trying to run to the end, no way I can get to piety in 8 minutes, never mind killing her too.

My Piety runs always crash and burn after a few rounds, once I start stopping in the middle to chat. And when I lose the good Lunaris 2 layout, I get annoyed enough not to start re-opening for good ones.

Build tanky. Use double brightbeak + faster attack/leap slam. I can get from lunaris 2 wp to back in town after killing piety in under 3 minutes. Then my lunaris 2 never resets.

Have you tried using all the tips? Unless you're going a build with extremely low dps I can't imagine people having trouble with doing it under 8 minutes unless they're very undergeared, and at those gear/dps levels I'd recommend docks or sarn city over piety.

I cant FIND the end in under 8 minutes. But I'll try again with your tips.

Another small tip I didn't include is to always try and run away from the area's that you already explored , if you come to a place with 2 roads to go , always take the one that goes the furthest away from the entrance. I've been doing a lot of runs and never gotten close to not reaching piety and killing her in under 8 minutes.

When you enter lunaris 3 pick left or right, and go to the furthest corner in either direction

If you only go up stairs and never down youll constantly be making forward progress towards piety, never missing a staircase.

Edit: can usually do a piety run in 5 minutes

With the right stairs I can do dominus in about 1:45

Any chance you can link your build / gear? That build looks really fun!

I've been running her with my dual claw ranger using whirling blade to get through mobs. If I use it too much I dsync pretty bad, try to only when I have to.
I also use smoke mine at some forks if it is likely I'll have to back up and the skill gives a speed boost as well. At any fork I always take the choice leading away from the center. It isn't foolproof but I find it works pretty well for finding the stairs quickly.
Also I think Spinecrack is always on the correct route but not 100% on that.

When fighting Piety I try to keep between her and the center since it goes faster if she doesn't get to spawn minions. I try not to kill her portals for the same reason, I'd rather have her run to one close by than go warping away.

Good tip on the wagons, I hadn't noticed that pattern.

Except for a few times when I've gotten super spirally lunaris 3 I keep the runs around 5 minutes.
