@genius11 : For amulets:
The level 7 gem amulet is the best one. 80,000 XP per stage. If you get 1 level 7 gem, just merge 6 level 1 gems into it and it counts as 7 level 7 gems for the gold amulet.
Also, if you can leave one monster with a small banish cost at the end alive. So long as it's banish cost is less than the mana you build up as it goes along the route, you will gain mana over time. Turn on triple speed and leave it go around in circles for a while.
Mana builds slowly so you can make towers, gems etc after a while. You might need to leave it a while to get enough to earn whatever amulets you want.
The two biggest things for XP gain are:
(1) Casting mana pool as soon and as often as you can.
(2) Call waves early whenever you can. The earlier you call them, the better.

does anyone know how to get a decent amount of XP? like what amulets to go after, if you gain more by gembombing, by speeding up waves or what

I originally started this series with Labyrinth and last year I bought & beat Chasing Shadows. It's amazing to see how this series has developed and evolved- and even now, the original game is still great.

Ahh...the early days of AG and Kong... a game that refuses to die in people's memory and always feels fresh...or at the least very well fermented.

@vnzolano94: 'hue' in this game refers to the color of your gem, or the critters attacking. It's the shade of their color, if you want.

I beat the game! I didn't get all of the amulets but I got all levels at glowing frame including the hidden levels. Once I got high grade starter gem skill I reset the skills in order to transfer the skill points from middle grade to high grade (and put the rest where they were). At the beginning of every level I would build some towers and 3 trenches right in front of the spawn point and put my free high grade gems there. When the monsters were killed I would call the next wave and use the mana pool spell (it increases score gotten) as soon as I could until level 25 about. Then I would build some more towers and trenches and raise the grade of the gems when I could for the rest of the level.

Keep in mind: You will sometimes need to let the monsters in. Banishment is a legit strategy. Keep your mana high in intense waves, ja?

Not bad, and I know it's the first of the series, but I am still mostly in love with gemcraft labyrinth. I just adore the shiznit out of that game!! Even bought the premium pack for it. XD Going backward in the series is challenging since so many improvements were made by the time labyrinth came around. But regardless, I still enjoy playing ANY version of gemcraft. You guys knocked it out of the park with this tower defense.

Glad to see I'm not the only one with badge issues. Two different PCs and browsers, and I still have a red plug and no badges... also no "report a missing badge" link on the Achievements page.

Chrome was constantly causing lag for many players, so if you're using it, try a different browser. Perhaps one of the 'Foxes. (Firefox, Waterfox... whatever other 'Foxes)

Boring game, forcing the player to replay the same levels multiple times to achieve a higher score and level up, bad game design.
