None of those things will continue to benefit you actively while you are worshiping Zin. Unlike !benemut.

My understanding is that Zin blocks mutations from the potion. Isn't it the case?

duvessa wrote:It's why I added "successfully". If you quaff it and it gets blocked (by Zin or any other form of mutation resistance that works on the potion), you don't lose piety. If it successfully mutates you, you do. Zin isn't guaranteed to block mutations unless you have 200 piety; the chance is (piety/2)%.Sandman25 wrote:duvessa wrote:You do realize that you lose less piety for successfully mutating under Zin than you do by abandoning him and coming back, right?

Maybe a 30% chance to fail with one mutation, up to 80% chance to fail with five of more mutations?
Or set a limit on Zin piety of 6 stars minus the number of mutations the player has?

if you gave up something actually valuable to get your zin piety back there would be no loophole here
