in Gemcraft Lab I could go on in Endurance mode forever with Chain+Mana-Gems collecting Mana, enraging giant waves and some killing gems. In CS it kills me pretty soon. Main problems I identify would be slow mana-collection and high armor. I appreciate that endurance became limited but Id like some more chance for staying at least some longer. Anybody found a good strategy for endurance?
Sparks seem to hate me...unless you only manage that after wave 200? I rarely get more than 1 spark per 25 waves, or less. And most seem to be crap stone supply, lockdown(no beacons able to spawn) etc.
e+112 -......- Mana farm don't even nearly keep up with the upgrade cost so that is just irrational.
Shrines eh, anyone know map with good placed venom and blades then? x4 isnt really that convenient. Takes forever to get the shrines u want to spawn :x
I'm interested in how much xp you could get by raging pretty much all your mana the last few waves since u could kill em no matter their stats with shrines :x
So i ended up completing x4 endurance on haunting with alla traits except mana lock. 2.5 billion xp raw xp after only angering the 4 last waves with 100 bombs ea, gonna have to try this again but anger the last 100 waves with 1000 bombs ea instead, i'll be mad if that dont get me over 3k.
Main exp isn't from raging, main exp should be from spells and shrine of wisdom. Gembomb exp gain on Giant wave was capped for me at 2,7k exp, so - 2,7kk exp per click. Shrine of wisdom could give more than 7kk per use.
Finally beat endurance as well, using X4 and a strategy inspired by Gremlion's:
Didn't enrage waves much, and thus:
Oh well got some decent fragments at least. The reds are all +1 to all skills.
Didn't get a shrine of infection until wave 912, when I was getting worried. Why do you need one as well as venom?
That bad boy completely heals himself in 1.6 seconds.
Also, this:
Spawned from last killed enemy, moved WAY faster than normal enemies, huge rewards, dropped 46 shadow cores on death, and looks like it instantly kills the orb...anyone else find one? Clearly not a normal monster...
Ok so i am quite mad atm. I redid the x4 run and this time i planned to bomb 1k times on each wave stone starting from 900. And guess what, after 3 waves(meaning 3k monsters) i started killing em (since more than that will cause heavy lagg...) aaaaaand, some **** goes down and i got 10b raw exp from killing about 500 of em, but after killing that many and constantly changing battlespeed, freezing and so on the game time stops. The game doesnt freeze in itself but the game time does not forward! Its still even snowing ffs. 500 monsters=10b would have meant, 100 000monsters=200 trillion (if my math is correct) so yes, i am very mad.
also, used autoclicker ofc to throw 1000 bombs in like 5 secs, althou it toke longer in the game to keep up with that.
Raging surely is faster than wisdom shrine if using auto clicker atleast, btw, would it even make a difference if i threw 100 000 bombs on one wave instead of 1000 on 100 waves?
*sigh* I tried it again and know what, exact same thing happened after i had bombed the wave 13 thousand times -...- I won't be playing for a while now until this has been fixed, srsly...
Its still snowing(its moving) and i can access the options menu but cant change battle speed nor do anything in it. The freeze happens after sending the ultra raged wave. The monsters sent has "in,fin,ity" hp ( its like E+200) and armor aswell.
In other words, don't bother ultra raging a wave, this happened last time only after 1000 bombs too so.... don't spend to much time bombing...u'll get screwed over.
