In response to meetad220, points come from 2 sources. You get points for killing enemies and calling waves early. You add a multiplier to these points by expanding your mana pool. The trick is creating strong enough gems to kill waves quickly while expanding your mana pool as much as possible. This becomes much easier with the level 40 skill, it allows you to breeze through most of the levels with a glowing frame easily.
Not particularly important, but it would be nice if capturing countries changed names and erased borders. When I conquer the world I want to be able to look at the map and see nothing but Touria.
When I get too floor 100 with 5k health, I really don't feel like going through another fifty floors in an attempt to die. PLEASE add either a save button or a suicide button. either would do.
Everybody uses the bow, but what nobody realizes is that the further you get in the game, the more ridiculously overpowered a combination of current level melee weapon and armor becomes. I beat the final boss with less than 10 hp potions XD
I got the assassin after my second dive. On my third I made it to floor 67. If you find the lantern artifact early in the dive it will keep you alive for a long time.
My advice for getting the hard badge... Keep calm. There will almost always be at least one path open to you, unless you are extremely unlucky. Though enemy nerves will often take the protein you were trying to get to, they will almost never block the entire path. As long as you don't panic, you should be able to get at least that far.
