Nice Video, i never tried Bloodbound. I always go Poolbound and have like 10-15 Mana Traps :). Hint: When you press B and then Shift you always throw the same Gem, so you dont have to buy Gems all the time.
Ty for making this vid, even though i found good use in using the heavy hitter gem as a trap gem to seal the bypassers, while the rest i just clicked U on to upgrade them. That way the slowing effect actually got more powerful as well. Anyways, i am a scrub at this. Only got to 1 billion. But that was my first successful attempt so that was crazy!
Gooi Ying Chyi It turned out to bring me from 1886 to 2128 from it. It actually was 1 bill raw exp, 75x multiplier. Also it was 78 billion exp... I did that post when I was still doing the run. Im trying to find out the perfect build for a haunting with all traits endurance...Just to see if its beatable...
AngelPuppetslayer Alright, I'll try to see if I can get a shrine of blades or something...I mean I know they arent as OP as they used to be, but its worth a shot.
Venom is the one you need. without it shrine of blades won't help at all. Importance now that they're nerfed -> Venom, Infection, Blades. Why? Infection to keep em from healing, which is bigger concern now that it doesn't instakill anymore(3 shrine charge brings to 12.5%, 50%/12.5% = 4, 60 sec/4 = 15 sec to kill NO HEALING. So....yep. you need it. Subsitute for blades is already there, wake of eternity. Not ideal, because banish, but.....it never increases cooldown so spam it and eventually(eventually) you will only have 4 left, can't banish, eventually(eventually) they'll die.
After finishing watching it: nice! Glad you showed a demo on how 9x speed can be bad for your Wizard's health. Lol! Sad tho that you didn't put any music into it xD. I like hearing them.
The actually effective way to earn LOTS of mana is simple: Bloodbound+Poolbound+mana Leech+ Chain hit. Since later you won't have 10k monsters in game you can limit the chain hit - it will be upgraded anyway by poolbound and bloodbound. Together bloodbound and poolbound give an incredible result. Later poolbound can give up to 30 in 4 types of gem combination.. while bloodbound will give x10. Together - ... x300? Or something.. With amplifiers you farm ALOT.. They increase amnt of mana farmed I realised this on glaring with only some traits on 7. And in endurance at wave 250 I gotten resultof 40-50 bil exp.. Just throw enough gems in waves.
this is a crazy old version of the game. also, each field has a monster health growth modifier (which is hidden) so different levels monsters will gain health differently.
315salzaz Basically because getting as much mana as possible allows you to make the waves more difficult (enraging them by dropping gem bombs on them) and earn more XP. The mana and scoring systems are one giant feedback loop, so the faster you progress to higher level gems, the more XP you can earn on a stage, which in turn gives you more skillpoints to use to get you higher level gems faster.
I don't understand, i can't reach level 30 for gems but i already did 57 000 000 000 EXP on I3. Just for asking, which software do you use to make vidéos on gemcraft?
AngelPuppetslayer 5 hours? did you play on haunting with all traits max? it is much longer for me because of 1x and lag and i have to anger every wave..
nice, too bad it dont work on steam version. and more you have a red gem for this level, but on my version there are not (i can still duplicate those who are on the map). And on steam version mob dont die with these trap
daikha11 I play the steam version and you can definitely kill mobs with traps, I only use towers to kill beacons, unless the map doesn't allow you to place traps at all. What you generally want to do is build your manafarm and six amps around it to kill mobs until your first Bolt powerup unlocks. After that, you build your killgem (and six amps if possible) and use bolt on it, so that it ignores armour. You should be allocating skills similar to how they were allocated in the video. (Although you'll want to use poolbound instead of bloodbound, at least to start with, as it's much better at lower levels) You probably won't even need the killgem until your first Giant wave. After the first few waves you should be able to start enraging every wave to 999 mobs. (use the mousewheel to adjust how many gem bombs you're dropping at once, and press B then hold shift afterwards to copy you topleftmost gem when bombing. For max XP, bomb with the lowest grade of gem you can, to spam more beacons, but for easiest kills, bomb with the highest practical grade of gem. I usually just get lazy and compromise with a grade 3 gem until I hit endurance mode) You should only need a level 1 red gem in your build in order to get a sufficient amount of chain hit, as upgrading your gem will bring the chain hit up high enough to deal with waves of 999 mobs as soon as you're ready to enrage that high. The rest should be poolbound and mana leech. (or critical hit if you're building a killgem) You'll need a fair amount of wizard level to get to the point of being able to use amps with this strategy however, as it relies on you having a lot of initial mana from unspent wizard levels and/or from initial mana on your talisman. The amount of XP you can get skyrockets once you unlock chain hit on every level though. (The tome is in the U hex)
Matt Whitehead thanks you for your message and take time to answer me :) after play more and after post it, i effectivly success to kill them with trap, and also discovering that adding a white gem is better for mana farm until gem lvl 50 (after a 3 color gem is better), i made many try and i played a lot since this time, but it is a moment i play other games. i still want play it more but it is hard to found the time for play all game i have :)
Hehe keep in mind that I'm level 3142. :D but you should get into the 50s before wave 30-40 probably, on lowest settings. If you want to see the highest grade you can get - max blood, orange. Keep chain like it was in the video. Try to get +freeze duration talisman and +strike spells/all skills/component talisman. Once your freeze cooldown is 3+ seconds lower than the duration's minimum, don't bother putting any points into critical hit xD. Max traps if you can, fusion is a must, and true colors and amplifiers should also be priorities. :D
+AngelPuppetslayer bloodbound does nothing in amplifiers. Also , please stop lying because nobody will get that ridiculously amount of mana before wave 8 in any level.
AngelPuppetslayer Yes some have red. But since you're a pro at this. point me to one with red, and bloodbound that you can get anywhere close to this score without orblets or the other 2 battle traits :P Can ya do it? Hell i'd be happy with even one board i can set up an even partially effective manafarm.. I'll be getting a pouch once i manage to complete (on looming) all the free boards. The pouch is just too powerful, and it feels like cheating.
Skwiggs Skytower You have a different definition of cheating there. It's not cheating if the feature is allowed by the game creator itself. I get what you mean. There are only few fields that have red and black together in the Free Version. Having three less battle traits is a big difference in terms of the XP multiplier but I believe that the reason why these good stuff is locked in the Magician's Pouch is because non-buyers might enjoy the game (get dominating level and such) way better than premium users.
blazingscore004 Well I did say "feels like cheating" and not that it actually was :) My main reason for commenting was that in past convos I've had with AngelPuppetslayer I was told that chain isn't all that useful in the end game. So was asking for them to do it without the hint of red.
Nice Video, i never tried Bloodbound. I always go Poolbound and have like 10-15 Mana Traps :). Hint: When you press B and then Shift you always throw the same Gem, so you dont have to buy Gems all the time.
poolbound > bloodbound.
AngelPuppetslayer Since when? Lol.
Wut oops o_o. Meant poolbound < bloodbound. Hahahahaha.

Should I upload my 14 bil. run? I don't have the full gameplay, just the ending.
People often upload to show other people how to.
It's up to you but personally I won't unless it's sooo exciting.
Gooi Ying Chyi It turned out to bring me from 1886 to 2128 from it. It actually was 1 bill raw exp, 75x multiplier. Also it was 78 billion exp... I did that post when I was still doing the run.

Cuyler Nix Unbeatable w/o shrines.

I wanted to put music onto it, but I was so tired editing this video that I forgot.
Will put it next time!
You should also enhance the amount of exp by using the wisdom stone. It adds to exp multiplier
The actually effective way to earn LOTS of mana is simple:
Bloodbound+Poolbound+mana Leech+ Chain hit. Since later you won't have 10k monsters in game you can limit the chain hit - it will be upgraded anyway by poolbound and bloodbound. Together bloodbound and poolbound give an incredible result.
Later poolbound can give up to 30 in 4 types of gem combination.. while bloodbound will give x10. Together - ... x300? Or something..
With amplifiers you farm ALOT.. They increase amnt of mana farmed
I realised this on glaring with only some traits on 7. And in endurance at wave 250 I gotten resultof 40-50 bil exp.. Just throw enough gems in waves.
hm my starting monsters has over 4000 hp..
Here only 400 ? What cheat is this,,
this is a crazy old version of the game. also, each field has a monster health growth modifier (which is hidden) so different levels monsters will gain health differently.
I'm still new to gccs so please someone tell me why would you need to farm mana?
So that you can craft an extremely high level gem at the beginning of the stage.
315salzaz Basically because getting as much mana as possible allows you to make the waves more difficult (enraging them by dropping gem bombs on them) and earn more XP. The mana and scoring systems are one giant feedback loop, so the faster you progress to higher level gems, the more XP you can earn on a stage, which in turn gives you more skillpoints to use to get you higher level gems faster.
How do you chain-bomb the waves?
B + Shift-click the wave stones
Holy crap! That got me some levels from the first try! Thanks! :3
Build towers all around your gems to prevent annoying beacons like cleanse and discharge from appearing around 'em. Also, nice job =)
I was too lazy to do that considering the fact that my G50 gem can 1 hit all of them.
Until the hp is like e^24, I started to realize I'm dead.
Gooi Ying Chyi Oh that was another endurance run I attempted. Thought I uploaded that one.
Im unsuprized. Very good ideas overall, AND at at lower level than that of the usual mana farm. I got 14 billion exp when I did it.
I don't understand, i can't reach level 30 for gems but i already did 57 000 000 000 EXP on I3.
Just for asking, which software do you use to make vidéos on gemcraft?
Movie Maker (Windows 8)
And also Debut NCH for capturing video.
I did now 32B on U6, it gave me 300 levels, i am now lvl 1859
How is still playing it in 2018? ;-)
I'm not understanding how you get such high XP... I get my mana pool up to 3e18 or whatever but I can never go beyond 500 million.
that was an awesome video,nice job.but could you please tell me the hotkeys so it can make my game easier,i would apreciate it!
The hotkeys are listed below the game window in the description box in Armor Games Gemcraft Chasing Shadows. So when you play, you can read them.
Gooi Ying Chyi thanks :)
My god the shear apm here is NUTS, have you considered playing sc2? xD
>sc2 not bw
omegalul
Oh my gosh... That was so insane... but awesome!
you should've used the 4,5,6 spells on your trap-crystalls.
Hey man, I did over 20,000,000xp and i never used the black gem. Try to use the white one.
In my opinion its way more potent.
+Keda_P 20,000,000 ....but he did 9,000,000,000+ !
Nils Urban i know!
No hatred?
not bad but for me poolbound is better than bloodbound
Bloodbound >>>> poolbound. Didn't you see my grade 60 pic? Lol. For me, Blood > Pool at grade 27-32
AngelPuppetslayer hmm i will test it :)
AngelPuppetslayer
you beat endurance right? how long did it take? must be ages with 1x speed..
first time took 5 hours spread over the weekend. Second took longer as over the weekdays, and I was angering the last waves much more.
AngelPuppetslayer 5 hours? did you play on haunting with all traits max?
it is much longer for me because of 1x and lag and i have to anger every wave..
Pure Ninja Style!
nice, too bad it dont work on steam version. and more you have a red gem for this level, but on my version there are not (i can still duplicate those who are on the map).

daikha11 you want just a hint of red, a couple grades of white, then the next three grades orange. :)
im sad that you did not use the ultimate kill gem
Well on your way to doing this- i.imgur.com/aYRdOpJ.jpg (okay, it's on looming + orblets, but still hehe)
o_O
Not even wave 8! I'm gonna try that.
Hehe keep in mind that I'm level 3142. :D but you should get into the 50s before wave 30-40 probably, on lowest settings. If you want to see the highest grade you can get - max blood, orange.

I find it very intriguing that you have that by wave 7... Also, didn't Bloodbound do nothing in amplifiers?
nah, only poolbound.
+AngelPuppetslayer bloodbound does nothing in amplifiers. Also , please stop lying because nobody will get that ridiculously amount of mana before wave 8 in any level.
Nice vid, now try without that hint of red :P
I'm guessing you non premium? Lots of fields still have red.
AngelPuppetslayer Yes some have red. But since you're a pro at this. point me to one with red, and bloodbound that you can get anywhere close to this score without orblets or the other 2 battle traits :P Can ya do it?

i see. it's also possible to get that high mana without chain, but you know the difference.
I like but when the queen of darkness create more shadows she will be more powerful.
I'm sorry WHAT!?
I just started playing this looks soo complicated
amazing!
This game is so GOOD
chill out dude
WTF.... Really ??
I farm a lot more mana doing something like 1% of all the things you did. -1
