I mean come on… cheaper tower skill? Lame. But I’m finding that then I can’t earn mana quickly enough because of these “wasted” skill points. With increased starting mana skill maxed and cheaper towers skill maxed that allows me to place a tower and put a level 4 gem in it as quickly as my mouse can move. My current strategy is to send 1st wave immediately as soon as the game screen opens. Hello again, After about a month of testing and 3 endurance runs finished I've come to the following conclusions (In relation to my previous post):1.It is adventagous to go for multiple kill gems to ramp up the hits faster (You can get a 3B hit gem by wave 220 if you have 6 sitting in towers) 2.Yeah, I’ve found that too now I’ve played a bit further. It would seem to be based on the mana put into the stone, as I also seem to recall having maxed one out by throwing in three G21 gems at one point.I just thought that might be worth noting. Unless my memory is playing tricks on me, I believe it's possible to max out a shrine scroll with a G23. (In addition to offering my thanks in general: this has seriously helped me to understand the whole spec/combine thing.)In this guide, there's a small section on what is needed to max out the boost for various types of sparks, and it says G25 for shrine scrolls. I'm still not quite at the same wizard level as everyone else here, but there is one thing unusual that I wanted to point out. To get best results, start again with building the base gem. Build your killgem and the amps with copies of this gem.To hitfarm on these maps, you should use a g2 red/black gem instead of a complete killgem. You can get millions of max damage on a single g1 gem. For the amplifiers, make sure they are four grades lower than the gem they’re amplifying, since once again, the killgem specs were designed for such amplifiers.In case you have a map with Gem Enhancement Shrine, hereafter named GES, (J1, H2, C3, U4, W5), you want to enhance the critical hit gems (and only these, bloodbound is not worth to be enhanced) before you build the killgem: Use the GES as often with as many monsters in range as possible as long as possible. After you have farmed whatever amount of mana you desire, build the final killgem, but this time, use combines optimized for killgems, since they are optimized for the best overall total damage.Start from the killgem you previously specced and put in trap to hitfarm (if you haven't done that, just spec one now) and look for a killgem combine.Pick any of those that are 11-value or greater, and combine away.

Or you have decided to avoid the lag, then you have to cover your map with buildings to avoid them.Gem-resocketing giantsDuring the mana-collecting period, giants forcing gem-resocketing might disturb the manafarm. 16c or 8c or even use ‘u’ in the end.During this period of the game you should summon as many beacons as possible - beacon farming will be explained later in this guide.
