Forums → Games → The Mathematics of GemCraft CS:

I am curious about some of the mathematics in the game.

For example, if I have a quad gem,
red -white - orange - black
Now it will give me a total damage, in this case lets say 20,000 to 80,000
it will give me multi hit, lets say 75
it will give me mana leech lets say 1000
after that I have poobound x20
and bloodbound x5
also a quad multiplier
now is the multipliers and the blood and pool already calculated into the total, or do they tack that on afterwards,
also that question goes for amplifiers is it included in the damage, or is it added on after. (i think amplifiers are included)
so will the blood and pool multiply what you receive from the amplifier?

also enraging waves
is it the same if I enrage a stone with 12 tier 13 gems, as opposed to 6 tier 14 gems?

basically I want to know what I am dealing with, and what is the best possible way to farm the max amount of xp, I dont really like the fact that I am forced to play with swarms because I dont get much xp from them,
anyhow just by looking at this game there is a lot that goes into math just to make this operate.
really cool if you think about it.
