Forums → Games → Gemcraft Chasing Shadows - What to do at 500?

After setting up a mana farm I anger every wave with 40 g25 gems - everything on hardest on haunting except manalock. It gives TONS of xp and huge multiplier, one run like that will give you level 2000 or so.

level 2000 = about 120 billion xp. not sure if he can do that at 500. Prob, but idk lol.

My jumps were like- 141 to 563, 563 to 1895, 1895 to 2054, 2054 to 2818.

He can, it won't be as easy as at level 1500 but still doable.

Is that what Im doing wrong? I stop angering at grade 12?

What maps do you do?
I USUALLY use orblets, swarm, haste traits on 3rd difficulty, I think its haunting.Why anger them so much, if you cant even kill them? :O Atleast I dont think I could kill them......I usually anger thrice per wave.

because I can kill them :P

After E28 it gets ridiculous to kill by gem, shrines only hope after E28 or so xD.

More monsters who survive farm / get stuck on it with perma freezing, more mana to actually kill them for xp -> more mana to anger -> more xp = self sufficient cycle.

Well... Watch this video and everything will be more clear

Yay! Thanks! Finally my channel will get publicity. Lol its like a year old I think and only has like 10k views, very sad I got good quality videos on gaming there... a ton of GC0, an old mmo i used to play(blah) and I'm hoping to make Gc2s tho to play GC2 at my best i don't think I can record. Makes me a bit nervous.

Also, probably because I am 9-fingered atm, bad cut and all during school(don't ask if you just ate)....

At least that video is not totally embarrassing and is pretty good C:

As I posted in another thread, I just tried to do it.

I could only get 50M exp. Which is around average for me.........
:/

Here is an example



As you can see that gem does next to no damage, gives quadrillions of mana(about 2.6 quadrillion per frame), and I haven't bothered to set up a kill gem yet, other than making a blood-red gem to farm hits. Which also does like 1 damage vs E21 hp.

With pool instead of blood(once you are about 1000 blood is epic-er thx to more points) you can get similar.

NB- Stop adding blue to it after 90% slow, stop adding red to it after about grade 30ish, with blood red will grow very rapidly still, even tho with only orange black added, orange grows faster, red grows at a good enough speed already.

And just LOOK at that huge blood multiplier! =)

Just train, it's doable. Mana farm is the key

Grade 55 in 21 waves.........insane. I might be able to get grade 12 now in 21 waves. :|

My mana just seemed to stop gaining when I do ROBlackWhite, where if I do ROBlueWhite it seems to be okay. I just genuinely dont know what to do and where to allocate my points. I only have a finite amount lol

Whats the BEST manafarm then? Because clearly Im missing out.

People say its ROWBlue, others say ROWhiteBlack, People say ROW, I just dont know.....

I will say that ROWBlack seemed to taper off very quickly, as in it seemed to just stop growing after awhile even when continually bombing

How many skillpoints do you have? I will try to do a build for you...

end-game manafarm is red/black/orange, but you can add some blue to it (slow, more monsters hit), change proportions, etc. In erariler stage of game and level you've got it's also good to use white/red/orange, but black/white/red/orange is just crap.

I'm on my mobile so I cAnt tell you how many total.

I'm very bad with proportions.

So use WRO with a little blue? My kill gem is usually RWYBlue, farm was RWOBlue all equal proportions.

I just don't know what to do or where to go, I'm sorry. :/

I will do it for you today (it's 23:16 for me here) or tomorrow - as son as I will have time for it. And explain how to build gems well
