I start with 1200 now thanks to skill points, wizard levels and amulet boosts. Sometimes I consider ditching some skills to get even more starting mana. I have about 70 unused skill points giving me a massive early mana pool. I got 300-700 as the max damage on my orb. I spent several rounds abusing Orb boosting but sadly anything with a boss monster is not beatable with that strategy. Although maybe having 20-30% bonus damage would be good. I try to max out all non-bonus-damage pieces.

My amulet is full and I've recycled about 7 pieces.

I'm level 26 with a skill cap of 7 and I have 7 free skills and sadly one premium skill that based on being the skill for chain hits is probably amazing. Would have got 70 cores in that one fight. Got 83 achievements, shoulda had 200 shadow cores but I didn't get the apparition spawn in the try that I won, only the one I lost.

I pissed away like 7 hours of my days off on this today. Haven't yet found a "do this to win" strategy yet like existed in previous games. Also, I miss the 'highest multiplier' indicator from Labyrinth. So many they're tedious to filter through, though the in-map achievement list helps. The game absolutely needs higher shadow core drop rates at higher levels (which it probably has) or some way to reliably grind them (which it might.) It kind of looks like there's a "grind for the ability to grind better so you can enhance your ability to grind your grinding" design here, which is not a fun mechanic. Also not sure the xp talismans were a good idea, since it means leveling talismans specifically for the purpose of leveling better, which means not using slots for talismans that help you win battles. I like the talisman mechanic, but again, shadow cores, and I'm skeptical of the apparent need to spend shadow cores to level talismans that I'll eventually end up throwing away when I get better ones.

I really hope that it's not balanced to require grinding easy levels for shadow cores in order to do those same levels again at higher difficulties. But I can spend as many as 56 on a single level and I only have two out of nine traits unlocked. I usually seem to get 2-4 per level, and the most I've seen is ~25. Not sure I like needing to spend shadow cores to get score modifiers, but presumably they'll be easier to get later on. Seems more difficult to progress though, because skills cap so easily leaving you with nothing to spend level up points on extra extra starting mana. Seems to be overall a good blend of the features from each of them. Certainly more complicated than Chapter Zero. Instead, she can be sealed away by a powerful artifact known as a "Gem of Eternity", but it can only contain her for a few decades before she escapes, and each time she escapes, a new gem must be crafted in order to capture her again.Definite improvement over Labyrinth. There is no known way to destroy The Forgotten or to banish her back to the Demon Realm from which she was summoned. Described as "a fully black female torso with disfigured arms, a head with long hair and no face", the Forgotten commands her legions in order to conquer the "Spiritforge", the last bastion of the wizards, in order to become omnipotent. Wizards used to regularly summon demons to do their bidding until they brought forth a demon too powerful for them to control, who was also capable of subduing other demons under her command. It depicts the battles of wizards against a powerful demon known as "The Forgotten". Combining two gems creates a single more powerful gem, with the gem's power level indicated by its shape. A key aspect of strategy in GemCraft is to increase the player's mana gain to high levels, enabling creation of stronger and stronger gems. With mana, the player can forge and combine gems and build towers, trenches, and traps. The player's life bar and magic energy are represented by the same statistic- mana. Different combinations of gems produce different effects, such as splash damage, damage over time, and critical hit capability. In GemCraft, players are given gems to combine and place into towers. The next game, GemCraft Lost Chapter: Frostborn Wrath, was released in January 2020. The original game was released for iOS on Apby NTT Resonant. On Apthe sequel to the first game GemCraft Chapter Two: Chasing Shadows was released.
