Why am I not gaining Sif piety past *****.?

So, I am currently playing a Sif worshipper, and piety seems to be stuck at *****. for what seems like a really long time.
Like, I am currently at V:2 and that sixth star still eludes me.
I've been keeping Divine Energy on at all times (cause like, why not? It doesn't seem to cost anything), and I've been "overcasting" a lot.
I've been training magic skills, but, c'mon, there are other useful skills to train, and am I just supposed to ignore that manual of Armour I've just gotten?
Now, normally, I wouldn't care, but it's tournament, and becoming a champion actually matters.
So what should I do to finally get the damn star? Should I train more magic? Should I stop using Divine Energy?
Or is it, by any chance, a bug?

Re: Why am I not gaining Sif piety past *****.?

I did a run with DrCj, and had a very hard time reaching maxed piety, which I did not do until near the end.

Re: Why am I not gaining Sif piety past *****.?

After rework, Sif Muna got a hidden factor that slows piety gain after 5*.
This has been introduced to control speed of giving Books. (IMHO this is awful decision of Devs)
When I played DEIE^Sif, I've reached 5* at Lair:1, and never used Channel Energy. The piety reached 6* at Vaults:5.


So, Strategy for SIf Muna would be:

1. Reach 5*.
2. Don't use Channel Energy, until you skim sufficient spells from Sif.
3. After having decent spellset, use channel energy and don't bother with piety loss.

sif got slowed down piety gain after 5* because that's how every god with normal piety works, not to fix some balance issue with book gifting

I have been at 5* piety with Sif training nothing but spellcasting skills, meaning maximum piety gain in conjunction with killing. Most gods, such as Veh or Oka or Chei, you get piety just by killing. With these three I can get 6* no problem while with Sif it is very difficult. Until just now I actually thought piety stopped at 5* for her and that the occasional 6* I'd see in vaults was the result of a glitch of some sort.

Exactly what is changing that is causing this to happen? Because it's certainly not solely because of what you said.

Re: Why am I not gaining Sif piety past *****.?

I guess the intention here is to prevent casting level 9 spells like Dragoncall at 50% failure rate because old Sif used to give you 100% miscast protection.

IIRC, gift timeouts cause piety gain to be paused until they expire.

Book gifting has been moved to 5 stars, right? That would explain why piety gain becomes very slow.

That got removed? That's very disappointing.

Still there, but the miscast protection scales with piety (always was the case I think?) so what VAF meant is that it's harder to get to the 100% miscast protection at 6* piety.

Actually I don't think that was the intention, but it was a side effect, sure.
