was your pool fluctuating at all? If so, it was probably some monsters that made several laps.

oh, man, i just angered wave 126 to 59 mill hp and 159 monsters...should've looked more closely at how many digits there were...oh well, i'll survive, though i'll probably be lagging till about wave 160.

i'll try and count up my gems...

...looks like at least 20 grade 15's in my towers,10 grade 16's in towers, several grade 14's and a few 13's...

for traps, i have 1 each of grade 17 and 18, at least 2 grade 16's, at least 3 grade 15's, mostly grade 14's from the start of the track to the bottom of the left (few grade 13's), mostly grade 13's from there to the upper right corner of the track, then some inactive grade 12's.


I'm taking screen shots, though I'm not sure where i can go to upload them (i.e. imageshack is blocked).

ok, here's a summary of what i've done so far...
numbers in quote marks are approximations. which is most of them...
waves 1- "25"-setting up mana farm, and a few gems for defence.
waves "25-30"-mana farm upgraded to grade 7 dual r/o gems.
waves "30-40": started making prismatics, mostly grade 11's and 12's.
waves 40-'59': started to replace original mana farm with prismatic farm. I kept the original gems-they're handy* whenever i produce a prismatic with less than 16 splash.
wave '60' (some giant wave in the area): angered so heavily, many of the giant monsters made a full lap.
wave '60-90': got prismatic gems (grade 12 and up) into every last trap, watching the hp, and always pushing the hp up. by this time, i'm producing mostly grade 13's and 14's, not counting the inactive grade 12's.
wave "90"-100: combined several of the grade 14's into grade 15's.
100-130: upgrading defences, average of 100m hp/wave. angered wave 126 pretty heavily.

note: i cannot remember when i made the grade 18 gem.
*outside of the inventory, it is more difficult to predict the effects of combining gems, whether same or different grade.

how bigs the mana farm at the point of wave 30? ive tried what you listed and its pretty dang hard, i cant make grade 11s in the 30s, its wave 50ish before i start using those usualy your always like 10 waves ahead of me this is hard to keep pace i need a bit more help, maybe i spent too much on firepower cuz at wave 30 i got a row of grade 8s, mainly line yellows that can handle +100 angered waves just fine

uh, the monsters should be angered more. they should pass a few times, and there should always be monsters on the mana farm. ALWAYS. So, if no monsters reach your tower, that is not good

fractal i cant wait for score/wave update and pics but yea using your "wave steps" ive dramaticly improved my game and i before said it seem impossible but now im starting to align and keep pace, i can actualy follow your steps and not say its too hard, im only like 2-3 waves down of your estimates

here's one: http://tinypic.com/r/epes7p/3
the surrounding waves were angered to a similar (though not identical) total hp.

I am having some extreme difficulty with the following levels. I am at Level 29, with 61,091 exp. points. The levels in question are: Level 13 (Heroic and Sudden Death), Level 14 (Sudden Death). I have beaten the 1st Arcane Monster. The levels I'm having trouble with after the 1st Arcane monster are: 17 (Sudden Death and Heroic), 18 (Everything), 19 (Sudden Death and Heroic) and 25 (Everything). I've redistributed experience points but just cannot beat these levels. Any help, tips, or suggestions regarding where to put the experience points so that I can beat these levels would be greatly appreciated.

oh, and yayforme...no, i DON'T want many monsters reaching my tower on this level. #1: LAG! #2: the monsters are frozen in their tracks, because i'm using a prismatic farm. so it's pointless to let them go around a second time.

here's a few more.

one of them is the visual effect of a bunch of grade 6 gem bombs.
