Oh, & to my stalker-haters who keep D-voting my comments, here's a bit to rub it in to your jealousy: - http://i.imgur.com/JPbJUqZ.png - Yes, those are G16s on the right tower column. Yes, all the other tower gems bar the pure O & R are G13s. Yes, all those traps are maxed. Yes, that really is 32 billion score at wave 35. And yes, that is a prismatic that was formed(well 80% of it) in TWO WAVES. Beat it, sucker haters!

NEW BADGE IDEAS: Beat all 228 waves- Extremely Impossible, 120 points. Get 1 trillion points- Extremely Impossible, 120 points. Beat all 512 waves of Beyond Corruption- Insanely Hard Endurance Impossible, 500000000 points(No really it does need that many points. To beat 512 which has an estimate of 48 billion hp/monster, you need to beat 510, 508, 506, 504, etc etc. Super long endurance!)

BaronOfHate: If you only want/need/dying for the badge, get to wizard level 50-60, max red-orange masteries, and always use this strategy no matter what: Keep the G2 O & R for transmuting if needed, turn G3s into a G4 dual. Supergem the G4 with G1 O & R you get from transmuting. It will kill everything up to map 78 with ease. Map 78 will also fall to it, unless you're trying the 228 wave challenge, in which you need a LOT more, but if you only want the badge, ignore the 228 wave stuff. If you want to play because you like it, by all means continue as is, learn to make a mana farm quickly & relish smashing monsters with up to 300K damage gems.

PS: Guess 7 people hate gemcraftCh0. Haters gonna hate. S-long as they don't hack the game code to make it unplayable, I'm fine. Wave 36.3, 32 billion score, 4x G16 gem for angering 42, max farm, 220K damage, and a hell lot of awesomeness, hell yeah! As always I am a speedhack & macro virgin^_^

Since my #1 vital tip was downvoted to be hidden, I will keep reposting it, again, again, and again, because I do NOT want anyone else to go through the horrific realization I made when I searched desperately for my 300K supergem to align it. Hate if you wish for my spamming. I only want to keep others from wanting to slam their face into the wall for such stupidity. "One final tip, just because I'm a nice guy(no matter what I said) & I don't want people to rage like I did when I lost an hour of arduous handwork: Don't put all your eggs in one basket! Always spread your supergemming equally among your prismatics! Otherwise, like me, you might accidentally due to lag gem bomb a 300K max damage gem. Trust me, it HURTS when you realize what a stupid thing you did. And it's made even worse because now your hands hurt and you had nothing to show for it. So don't make that mistake, far better to gembomb a 40K gem then a 300K, or god forbid a 2 million one."

I can not believe that this comment: "This game sucks, it's for fu(king fags, fu(k you and anyone that plays this game." is higher rated than my comments which seek to help people who are having trouble in GC0...& stop telling me you don't want tips/advice...I've seen hundreds of comments now who keep asking for help. Bloody hypocrites, all of you are.

I can't believe this. Looked at worst rated comments. Are you kidding me, someone who voted this amazing game 1/5 because they cleared their cache & thought it was the game's fault are less voted down then mine? Um....*mindblown*

I hope that these comments will make people get amazing multipliers, because it really is hilarious seeing these giants frozen in place, unable to move, and just generating millions upon millions of mana. Downvote if you hate GC0 :) Upvote if you, like me, relish the pure overpoweredness of fully unleashed GC0 skill.

^^ Exactly what I am doing, Arcane Boss 4(red orange blue purple), at 2.014M pool, 132 giants from wave 33(40 total waves) with 25K armor & only 70K base score, they've hardly moved & haven't even been stuck to all of my traps yet. Should easily reach 40 million+ before they start to get bad. Haven't made 3 laps yet(2 were while I was setting up final farmzone). Alternative- Replace RCs with RCYs, the 1071 speed will likely make it even harder for the giants to move even a single square, because they now get shocked approximately 36% more(Dual Gem shock chance * 0.85(70% to 60% special) * 1.6 extra speed. Be warned, that this RCY can STILL do triple damage in trap(proven, seen many many times by me & other 228-wavers), so make sure the giants' armor is impenetrable.

Spam mana pool spell for a day, week, month, year, until you reach desired amount. Build a simple G11 from all gem colors available on level(don't need prismatic), supergem to armor amount + 5K, place in trap, say "Hasta la Vista Baby!" to the monsters, collect your quite-big-score-for-grade-ones thanks to mana multiplier, and hold the All time high score for max mana at end of level :)

Potential Infinite Mana hack- Do it on a level with a Giant wave near the end, preferably with R & O & if possible cyan offered on the level. Have maxed skills, save the G2s of gems not offered, to make prismatics. Build basic farm, anger, etc etc, then anger that giant wave with 36 grade 1s for 30K+ armor. Kill all the monsters before them, then instantly send the giants and all waves after, kill all the other monsters, then build a trap field of alternating between red-orange & cyan-red. Hope you have a pool of 200K by now, so you can mass produce maxed out RO & RC g10 gems.

Continuing on from last comment- "hope you are a kindred spirit who wants to help the people in this world, even by making their gaming even just a slight more fun, less frustrating...instead of one who wishes to laugh at mistakes others made because they censored someone trying to help people(really, hiding comments is censoring, it automatically places doubt in the viewers mind about the person giving help, and/or makes them pass over it, no doubt thinking it's just a rude, nasty comment). Choose to be the angel or devil, I don't care anymore. I'm done...I'll keep posting tips and such, and hate if you wish, but I've seen hundreds of people post on how to start a mana farm, so no matter what you think there ARE people who want help to do better/ascend to the next level of play. Thanks for reading, and let your hate wash over this, IDFC.

dammit....always think of something to add the moment I click "post comment"...anyway, Even if it's as simple as a computer game, consider this: By giving tips to those who might be frustrated/want help/want to avoid common ubergemcraftplay-pitfalls, I am making their gaming experience better. It's small, but every bit helps. Besides, this is better then doing nothing, and I do NOT want to represent the stereotype of teenagers(selfish brats). Thanks for reading, and hope you are a kindred spirit who wants to help the people in this world, even if as small as giving some tips to make others unleash their gemcraft potential(really, me & like 5 others can't be the only ones who have the skill to score 1 trillion points with only their hands & mouse...I'm certain more could, if they had some tips to not be discouraged by slow starts & such...)

Whoever downvotes my last two comments wants to make those who want to try & ascend to pro gemcraft play fail. If those are hidden then new 228-wave contenders might be upset to find out that all their hard work was lost because of a mistake they could've prevented. Jeez I never knew so many people wish to opress those who want to go higher. Oh wait, that's the real world. Oh well :(

Yet another tip that I accidentally disobeyed & now payed the price: When in a long game do NOT click ANY link on that page! I thought the link i clicked would open in a new window(& I accidentally clicked it anyway, in chat) & it didn't so now my game is screwed. :( don't make that same mistake, be smarter then me :/

You all suck, I'm not gonna offer tips strategy & advice anymore. Don't like it, don't read it, but why downvote it so that it's hidden to those who might want it? Noobs. I bet 99% of you have yet to score 1 million xp without a triple level, noobs. For those who want to be pro, read my other comments. The rest, suck it.

Seriously can someone tell me why people are downvoting and hiding comments that are not disrespectful or anything in any way, and are actually trying to HELP people get into super-uber advanced GC0 play(which is ridiculously overpowered & fun without any outside programs)? Because I don't get it. Maybe I'm stupid in internet ways. I dunno how. I guess that wanting to help people struggling with the early levels, and wanting to help people get to the "Super Gc0 Player" stage is a travesty worthy of the death penalty?

1) my comments on how to survive the early game(mostly) without losing were rated -1. 2) My explanation of how Time Siege shouldn't be used to get mega points was downvoted to um....-8. Why? All I'm doing is trying to help. 3) -9 rating, really?! For a tutorial video that shows you how to bomb the gem of eternity by wave 13, and how to score 1 billion points(1 million exp, enough to max out most skills) by wave 26.5(although the video ended before that, just continue what I was doing, building farm n angering & you'd get 1B somewhere around that)

Since someone has a problem with me calling time siege "useless", this is why: You can't mana farm as much because you have a limit, also to win you need to call multiple waves early, which makes you lose valuable time that you could be using to make G10+ to anger, full G6 sheets to supergem, and ofc time to supergem G3 RO for a manafarm in the first place.

Fyi the highscores for my lvl, score, mana = level 2233, score 400 billion, mana some 4 million max. quit bc i overangered wave 54 to 1.5 billion per giant, 582 giants, most likely impossible to kill unless I had macro to make the 50M FP needed to kill em.

I have beef to pick with the highscores. Why was my LEGIT, no speedhack, VIDEO & IMAGE PROOF level & score & max mana taken down?!

although I'm thinking it'd be very hard to get that first jump from lvl 1 to lvl 8 with only normal. The next hard jump also from 8 to 16. after you get endurance I bet for experienced ppl it's a breeze. Use endurance to get level 24, do heroic, do endurance again, do swarm, do endurance, do normal, do sudden death, get red mastery, go full commando on carapace, then bleeding edge, then whatever the level 56 one is, then arcane, then spam-durance with max red & orange & keep upping skills till you max em- then get level 2K+. Easy as pie...mostly.

I hope this helps, I agree the first few levels when you're first learning everything & all with very few skll points are ironically, harder then almost everything past the 2nd arcane boss. all I can say is ask for advice, be patient, and persevere, because it becomes truly fun when you can score billions of points, once you get all the skills(or most) & learn how to make a good mana farm(red-orange supergems supergemmed to 6 targets, 10.1 mana, 670 firing speed)
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Also try making dual gems, the small buff to damage might help. Don't use many traps, they aren't too useful except for poison until level 40ish. At when they become paramount to scoring high points XD. For the first arcane boss don't bomb the locks till the last few waves. Place the G3 poison in a trap at the start. Build a dual G4 and add lots of g1s into it(transmute into right color by gem bombing) watch my vid of it(search angelpuppetslayer on google, click first link) if you need help. After the 2nd arcane boss(in which you should also supergem), supergemming becomes the best strategy :)

Corloc indeed, if you came from GC, this game is much harder. You should never call waves early unless you have beaten all of the last wave, for one. You don't need grade 4s+ until the first arcane most likely, or maybe make some G4s if you see a armored wave with 12 armor+ or something. Check the stats of the wave to see if your defenses are adequate. Anger the first few waves with 1 g1 each for extra mana + xp, if you can handle it. Replay all sudden deaths, esp the 3x xp ones. At lvl 16, do endurances, survive as long as you can & get as many battle amulets as you can(they give a pretty large portion of your xp until past the 2nd arcane boss).

This game is so FRUSTRATING! I have nothing good to say about other then they did a good job of programing but lousey game play. I have had to replay almost ever level multiple times to beat it on the first go through and now am stuck on level 13!!!. I have watch vids and read strats but nothing is working. So pissed that a LOW Level cannot be beat easily. Why why why?

wow well all i can say is this gemcraft sucks worst then the first one....The first few level are extremely tough...WHY?

202 billion score at wave 63(unspeedhacked/macroed) FTW. Now to try even harder get an even better start & get 400 billion+ by this point! And to think I was uber-proud of 5B by wave 125...lol!

Sandal you do not need to be a god(though it helps- kidding :P). Simply follow the top comments guide to supergemming & you WILL be a god...& then you'll beat the game quite easily...then you can go to the next great challenge, beating all 228 waves of the last level instead of just bombing the GOE.

Finally, fill path with RBs to slow the monsters down, and make it so that the Hue of all your prismatics is 190-200(just drag a bunch of cyan gems onto them). Reason is that all the waves on map 78 are hue 0-30, and opposite gem & monster colors = monster weak to it = gem deal damage closer to its maximum each hit. Whereas a gem of 15 hue & monster 0-30 hue the gem will do near its minimum damage/hit, making your gem around 1/4th as effective. It is noticeable from 20k damage. So make sure to hue your gems.
Notes: 1.5 million firepower is only enough if you have an effective holding strategy, that is, a path full of RO and RB with RB supergemmed to like a whole minute of slowing while RO keeps you from succumbing to banish costs near the end. Wave 227 is giants with 3.9 billion hp each. Wave 228 is 8 runners with 1 billion hp each. Hope this helps anyone who attempts it :)

Make 10 of these so that way you'll gain more effective dps because fast firing gems will be faster in killing then 1x ubergem(I tried near beginning, 2x 10k was more effective then 1x 25k because both have high splash & both 279 speed so they more effective overall. Difference not too big but it saves you maybe 15-25% supergemming, PLUS one can hold off the monsters while you supergem the other.
