Best place to explore for piety

I gave away all my piety for a trove and it's really starting to hurt, I'm on the last floor of Depths and I pretty much have V5 to do but I'm not sure if it would be a good idea since it's the hardest part of the game and I only have ** piety with nemelex. Should I go elf? Or maybe slime

Elf is most likely safer than slime. I usually do Elf after V:1-4 if I feel like it. Works pretty well.

Playing DD so crypt probably isn't a good choice

Why? It has natural rN and high MR, only SInv missing. Unless you're really, really dependant on vdrain or vamp weapon.

Why do you need Nemelex if you are DD with vampiric weapon?

I don't, I got nemelex on like D3 and I lived long enough to find vamp so I just kept him

Am I wrong in thinking that piety helps with the damage of certain cards and the amount of summons you get per summon card/reduces the amount of malsummons? Because it feels that way

Re: Best place to explore for piety

Yes, piety increase power of cards indeed. Why do you need cards as DD with vampiric weapon? ;) Ok, I was joking mostly. Clearly it is optimal to clear Elf/Crypt now, even if you are already at full piety.

There's infinite piety in the Abyss... If you've got some stealth, it's not too bad.
