I'm stuck at gemstone 100 with max autoclick speed and I think I'm done. I pretty much can't get gems faster and it takes like 70k gems per new pick. and upgrades cost to my pick quality cost about 12 hours per upgrade and increasing rapidly. I might have run out of steam at hellstone 103. I honestly have a hard time believing anybody got to gemstone 2237 without macroing 24/7.
I have just hovered over my highest one click and my max auto g/s for like two weeks now. Starting to run out of patience for this game. At least I can mine hellstone 85... but I'm not sure that is really that cool.
I maxed auto click speed and either mine whatever gives you the most Auto g/s for money or is a one hit kill by the auto. One gives maximum money the other gives maximum gems.
