But angering is commonly cited as a primary strategy to get to the levels you are talking about. And if the pouch is not available to you, it is the only way to garner increased xp once you have maxed out the increased difficulty ratings available.

@Moreno218: you simply can't. It's an element of the stage (banishing monsters sometimes if I'm correct).

Found this: Step by step mana trap farming tutorial for HUGE XP gains - mid-to-late-game on the Gemcraft: Chasing Shadows sub-Reddit.

The post is well written and it's aimed at mid (lvl 75-100) to late game players. The method does require the Pouch because it requires Red gems.
No super gemming or gem weaving, just create the 3-component mana gem and killgem, as well as the 2-component amp gems per instructions and U upgrade from there.

Does it work? It sure does. Following the instructions I made a run on Q5 with all Battle Traits, including Mana Lock, maxed and I went from lvl 1753 to lvl 2017.

It's an interesting alternative and, I believe, definitely worth a look.

Wha? Why? Your work on GS:CS is an invaluable contribution to us higher level obsessive-compulsive gamers. Speaking of whom, I am going to try the method described in the article using your 16-combine for the basegems.

Using 16-combine basegems is working very well. I'm too lazy and disorganized for supergemming and this combination is giving me a few hundred levels per run so I'm staying with it.

It's "official subject with links to other subjects" - sorry not my decision.

You should add the "Gem better than 32-spec" thread here, because it contains info and alternative different methods for a base mana gem and some good discussion.

callmeishmael, that guide you posted has lots of errors about levels on it. The guide may have useful tips, but what levels you accomplish things at in the guide are totally wrong. The person who posted it (at level 3000) probably completely forgot when things happen in the game. There's no way you are getting grade 12 gems or finishing the entire game at level 30.

That was an odd, nonsensical post. (?)

Thunderrider's "offtopic, get out" was NOT directed at you, Erile. There was some other, offtopic post made, and Thunder was telling that person to get out of the thread. And someone has since removed that post. So, don't worry about it.

Ok, that makes more sense.

That's incidentally a great example of why normally you don't reply, you just report.
