I can't complete the blueprints

[chad711]

I'm new to this. I read around here but I am still lost. It seems when ever I build blueprints that require 75 or more of that certain color of block those blocks barely ever show up.

I also read how to use tools but that manual seems some what confusing.

I watched a video of someone getting high combos and when his area was getting to the top the bricks were not shaking. Why not?

I would read the whole strategy thread (I know it is alot) if you want to get an idea of the things to do that work well for people.

The tools are a bit hard to get at first, at least for me as well anyhow, but as you mine for crystals the ones you have unlocked will come up at random and you will eventually get a feel for how they work.

As for the shaking, when you get a x2 or better, and while the chain is still in effect, the shaking and scrolling up is disabled. This lets you continue the chain until you eventually miss. Until then, you can push up to the top witout shaking or failing the mining or smith session.

OK thank you. Something I am missing with the chains is how to keep them going? I watched that video someone made of them getting like 11x but he only explains the setup and not the follow through. I got the set up and some how (thru luck more then anything) I got a 6x. It seems i really cant get more then 5x consistantly.

Also, I still need help on blueprints. If I need to mine for 75 of a certain build that freaking color barely shows up!!! What tools should I use for blueprints?

I wrote some stuff on page 3 of the strategy thread about follow through.

Basically though, if you have the setup mastered (at least sort of) getting x5 is as hard as it gets. After that, the delay you have to make another match or chain is kind of long. Once you get there try swiping rows left and right, moving up and down (like in the video in the strategy thread) as this can work pretty well even at random and lets you build up crystals quickly.
