Ok, now the trick, how to crank out grade 11 gems (you can actually get grade 13's this way):
Make SURE you have a steady mana growth, depending on fluctuations I say you want at least 140,000 MP. Then click Ctrl-tab 3, and click grade 6 Gems. Now hold Ctrl and click combine tab, then click on a gem, repeat several times until it's all done, this results in a grade 11. To get a grade 12, repeat once. To get a grade 13 keep going but you have to pay attention because at some point you will have two 11's and a 12.
Not sure if you can get a 14 this way, by the time I get a 13 I deploy it then build another to stack on top of the deployed one, giving me the 14.
Other notes... That level was lined full of traps, ALL of which had at least a grade 8 orange mana stealer. I got to dropping level 9's in there and got about 1/3'rd of the way through, but I think I played that crazy level for 4-5 or 6 hours straight and basically I just got tired of it.
Anyhow, the secret to beating that level is MP stealers in traps all the way from start to finish, then high level prismatics in the towers.
It helps to have all the skills maxed out (except gem explosions).
well, if you'd only give us a way as simple as this to create level 13 DUAL gems this way if a level has more than 3 colors And yes, R/O traps are better than pure orange. Nevertheless, a good effort you've made.
he meant the buttons in the game, with third "tab" being "create gem" spell. I use "shift+3", or first pressing 3 then Ctrl-clicking inventory to create as much gems of the selected grade as possible.
well, there are some crazy people, showing their replay on youtube.... just do what they do, if you cant finish it.... sorry if i insulted someone here with crazy
