This is critical to get some of the tome chambers opened up as they always have some 'kill 400 creeps in this tiny circle) and your towers will invariably be targeting and killing them outside of this circle. You can alter the range of a given tower by hovering over a gem and using the mouse wheel to increase / decrease the range which it will fire (up to the maximum for the gem level). See that hotkey for mouse wheel? This is VERY IMPORTANT. And when you see guides that mention WL 10,000 you’re really starting to see the significance of the two levels of play within this game. For example, it’s quite doable to finish the main campaign at around WL 200 or 300 if you’re not doing a lot of the advanced gemcrafting and endless runs. What I mean by that is you’ll find guides for “Wizard Level (WL) 1,000 and above” or “Endgame strategies” which talk about WL 10,000 or even higher. One for the first playthrough and one for those who want to go crazy. Slowing, Chain Hit, Poison, Critical Hit are just a few.Ī person new to tower defense will make the mistake of trying to find strategies to use on Gemcraft, and I would recommend that you ignore these for the time being, focus on a beginner strategy guide such as this one, and just enjoy it on its own merits.īecause there are two Gemcraft games. There are 9 different gems and you can keep them pure, or you can combine them with other gems to weave whatever power you need on the map.

Instead of different towers, you get gems that socket into one of three different tower types. Gemcraft has it all and it does it very well. You can sink hundreds of hours into its 160+ levels, its talismans for strengthening your towers (gems), its three difficulty levels, the battle trait modifiers that give extra difficulty & XP, it’s 25 skills and its 460 achievements. It’s time for a Gemcraft thread as it is one of the finest Tower Defense games out there.
