Okay, so since I have restarted twice since posting the Gem XP thread, due to 1) figuring out 64-combine, and 2) browser restart for updates, I'll now make this the final one. I feel good about this, so it must be the one.
Anyway-
~~~~~Upgrade Method~~~~~
I used the 32 - spec 17 / 14 / 1 method to start the gem.
I used the 64 - combine to upgrade it.
For the amplifiers, I used pure orange.
I used the 16 combine once to upgrade it to one grade below main gem.
After that, I used 64 combine. This is optimal.

I will update this with my stats every day unless there is a large achievement to tell about. Expect many, many pictures
Okay, I worked my way up to level 289, 111 fields explored and now I'm bored. I'm getting over 20 million per map (Without modifiers) and my attempts usually end around wave 275 when the combination of Spires, interface disabling/angering by the Forgotten, and the astonishingly high increase in monster HP/armor make going on a bit more of a chore.
I help whomever asks, wherever they ask. I don't apologize for that, and reject all criticism of that policy. I'd rather cheese you off than let a player go unanswered thinking no one cares enough to help.
