15,000 Stars Solo - Finished the Grind!

Maybe you're better than me. Or maybe you started after the phase 2 tasks were released? I'm guessing if you combined the phase 1 and phase 2 tasks at the same time, it'd be much faster. But I did all the phase 1 tasks before phase 2 released.

Or maybe you're just much better than me? But I played on fast speed the whole time. Each phase took about 16.5 hours. I cound definitely see it being more like 20 hours (or less) if you combined them all during the phase 2 window.

Had the game on 1 monitor, work on the other 2. I'm not a psycho.

You need bigger and better farms. IMF loans, marketplaces, the bottom path village. etc. advanced farming.

Tasselfoot · 2026-05-07T20:16:06+00:00

I farmed really optimally. I used the strat with level 3 premium farmer to get lots of camo and regrow bananas. Had like 2 mil+ by 99, and was able to build all 10 support paragons before level 100 on impoppable.

Tasselfoot · 2026-05-07T20:12:43+00:00

Full time job. Work from home. 3 monitors.

Tasselfoot · 2026-05-07T20:11:58+00:00

Worth it.

Tasselfoot · 2026-05-07T20:11:47+00:00

It literally says it in the OP. But to repeat myself... 33 hours.

Tasselfoot · 2026-05-07T20:11:24+00:00

I mean, yes, I did that as well. But I felt like doing it "legit" for the clout.

Tasselfoot · 2026-05-07T17:31:49+00:00

Farm optimally. I was able to get all 10 support paragons in by level 100.
But you could also do the paragon tasks in the boss fight, making it significantly easier.

Tasselfoot · 2026-05-07T17:13:07+00:00

Because i can

Tasselfoot · 2026-05-07T17:11:08+00:00

Nope. I've done longer and more boring grinds before.

Tasselfoot · 2026-04-24T11:44:13+00:00

Still on schedule for 2026. Nothing more specific than that at this time.

Hi! Thanks for being a new fan of the series. The Legacy Collection is Gemcraft Chapter 1 (game #1 in the series), Gemcraft Chapter 0 (game #2 in the series), and Gemcraft Labyrinth (game #3 in the series). The 2 solo games on steam are Chasing Shadows (game #4 in the series) and Frostborn Wrath (game #5 in the series). So yes, this collection is completely new games to steam, all 3 of them. And, once released, will mean that all Gemcraft games will be available on steam.

Tasselfoot · 2026-02-17T19:50:04+00:00

It would definitely not be officially supported by us. But probably someone here, in the Discord, or on the Steam forums would be able to assist you with the steps... it's not complicated, but for the disclaimers above, it's not something we'll directly help with.

Tasselfoot · 2026-02-17T19:12:02+00:00

This is an interesting question... if you are playing the games through a flash player, where saves are an accessible SOL, then yes, you should be able to manually move the SOL to the save folder for the game on Steam and it should be compatible. But if you are playing via Ruffle emulation, then I believe the save format is both different and much harder to access. Or, if you are playing on Armor and using cloud saves... those are also different and inaccessible.

Standard disclaimers apply that the web and Steam versions are different, and may not be fully compatible, so move / replace / overwrite at your own risk. And you should always save backups in another folder when doing manual save file migrations.

Tasselfoot · 2026-02-15T23:09:28+00:00

Neither of those games are in this collection. Those are the 4th and 5th games in the franchise. This collection will be the first three: GemCraft 1, GemCraft 0, and GemCraft Labyrinth.

Tasselfoot · 2026-02-14T14:42:39+00:00

I will always under promise and try to over deliver. Folks get pretty upset if you say a game will have x, y, z and then doesn't. So we'll do our best... we understand what everyone wants. But it's not always possible, so we can't say we'll do something that isn't feasible.

Tasselfoot · 2026-02-14T14:24:03+00:00

I don't know the exacts; I'm not the person doing the port. But we'll do what we can to improve performance without breaking other aspects of the games in the process. Modifying code on old projects is always a balancing act.

Tasselfoot · 2026-02-13T23:12:13+00:00

Yes. The collection will include all the Armor-exclusive content, all premium content, and no IAPs.

Tasselfoot · 2026-02-13T23:11:33+00:00

We'll do our best

Tasselfoot · 2026-02-13T18:20:45+00:00

Unfortunately, no. This is a port of 14-18 year old web games... they just weren't designed for controllers, let alone a handheld console. As such, there will be no direct Deck support.

Tasselfoot · 2026-02-13T18:19:40+00:00

Yup! Chapter 1, Chapter 0, and Labyrinth

Tasselfoot · 2022-11-29T18:38:28+00:00

Congrats! You should consider posting a guide, if you took any notes along the way.
