To get all badges you'll need to spam manapool (M key) during waves to increase your score (and level) faster. As you level up, top out all mana upgrades and keep them that way. Then prioritize gem cost and building cost. Put what's left in gems and mastery (spend more in higher-grade gems and pure mastery) but invest all gem/mastery points in high-grade gems once you get them (put the remainder in pure mastery and lower-grade gems, but place those points in high-grade as well when you get enough points to do so). Use high-grade gems to max out every level you see. Finally, master pure mastery, then dual, then the rest. By then you'll be maxing out most stages first run through, dying only in later stages. NOTE - Manapool will be essential for completing later stages, but if used at the wrong time, it may even kill you, so be wary when buying (to stay safe, have 2-3K extra mana in waves 25+ when expecting enemies to make it to the hut and 15K near epic bosses). + this so others can see

After you reach level 40
Reset all skills, and max out number of high grade starting gem and pure gem mastery, and have fun calling early wave (when you have splash or chain hit)

the strategy i use is this: go 2 waves at a time then combine gems and switch and make a new one then combine those and put them in the towers then sit back and watch them all DIE!!!!!

To all the people saying this is a grind, grind is really not needed if you play well, I almost got maxed out on first run of some levels and I am quite shit at tower defense

The game just keeps going and going... I feel like I've been playing for hours, yet I still haven't maxed out a single level and I still haven't completed all of them.

My first meeting with flash games (and with tower defence genre) started with this game. It was around six years ago... So nostalgic to find GemCraft here. :')

This game is so fun. It's like Bloons or something. Whatever it was called, THIS IS AWESOME *dances Pinkie Pie Style*

Why is this overrated tower defense BotD every 3 months? Isn't the entire purpose of BotD to get people to try new games instead of the tired old favorites?

I found it more calculating to grind 6 or 7 tier gem with 1,2,3 tiers rather than raise it to high tiers. You get imba-range, machinegun-fast and hammer-deadly gem, even if it's 6-colored.
