Forums → Games → Gemcraft CS: Crusade for a Grade 100 Gem

Nafferty is I Bloodtooth(or whatever)? And was it that 93 hour endurance?

amps = pure black 1:3

i believe i did a 56 in gcl, highest id seen outside of mine was a 48 this was pretty early in labyrinth

i had about 100t mana and was duplicating like 40s or 42s and mass combining them

Reading all this, I have to ask: is it better to supergem from the very beginning, or start with a weave, then supergem that? If starting with a weave is better, then what grade is optimal for the transition?

This is what I have for the basics of each method, please correct me if I am wrong: (Please note, I am not accounting for color ratio tuning in this, as that is a whole different process that adds steps.)

Weaving:
1.) Create G2 Dual Gem
2.) Duplicate the Dual Gem
3.) Create a G2 Pure Gem of each type
4.) Combing Each Dual Gem with a Pure Gem
5.) Combine the resulting G3 Gems into a G4
6.) Repeat Steps 2-5 for each successive even Grade

Supergemming:
1.) Create the Gem you want
2.) Duplicate it 4 times
3.) Combine the Gem with 1 Duplicate for G+1
4.) Combine the other 3 Duplicates with the Upgraded Gem for G+0

If I'm correct best is weaving to g12 and then supergemming, but I'm duplicating only 3 not 4 times. About pure gems you should supergem from g1. About killing gem, only weave.

The method I have listed is equivalent to DDDUGGG, as I believe ConnorC's testing showed to be more efficient than DDUGG.

Also, I plan to work on figuring total crit damage for yellows in weave vs supergem, eventually. I'm currently looking at the reddit post on gem combination math and experimenting to attempt to verify the calcuations, but so far it looks like duplicating and upgrading max "rand()" value G2's is the best starting point for damage output.

I have a question about the Supergemming...

You take the gem you want to upgrade.
You duplicate it a few times.
You upgrade the gem (with pressing U?)
You put the duplicated gems into the new higher grade gem. Do you put three or four in the new higher grade gem?

so my endurance that was gonna last forever stopped suddenly when my computer restarted . Only reached a level 90 gem.

Majamulli: two or three.

@thunder
It was here where you first asked how he dealt with the lag pre-render limit update.

Oh. Mixed them up, oops xd. And weaving is gcl. Its specced method. I like that name...

I thought you would. It sounds... creative. If I didn't prefer it, i would have kept my mouth shut about it.

yea thats the frustrating part, when long endurances end unexpectedly to computer stuff

my current game im only playing like 30 mins a day right now unfortunately but, im fearing it closing

Okay, I've found that ROBluBla is actually far more effective for mana farming than simply ROBlaBla.

Yeah, ROBB is the best.

If you permafreeze eg. 5k monsters and don't plan more blue is not needed - it only lowers other components. So after permafreezing on trap as much monsters as much your PC can handle it's good to build managem w/o blue, +20% or so to mana gain.
