Been playing TITAN QUEST for a bit now. WAY more and better than I ever played it when it came out. Your GRIM DAWN videos are one of the reasons for that. Play one, get better at the other.
Yeah it’s any rift/portal so if there’s a doorway/portal nearby you can go through that and back through it to get the same result, example is the plant shopkeeper in Ancient Grove.
I finished base Grim Dawn without knowing most of these tips! Including fast travel, second tab for item comparison, how cunning relates to dps... Or even that there was a search function!
Thanks for the comment, it’s much appreciated. I try to create guides that are the sort of thing I wish I’d been able to find when I was a new player 👊🙂
Thank you sir. Very helpful for a beginner like myself. Ive just kind of been doing whatever and having lots of fun, but the respecing advice will help me a lot.
Thanks this is helping me, i m trying a shaman for first time and don't know what is a good build so im also checking all skills to see what i like, so far i like the prime strike its nice aoe damage
Thanks for the comment. You can’t really go wrong with Primal Strike, just get as many buffs to it and its main damage type(s) as you can from gear, devotions and your other skills.
I just downloaded this a couple of days ago. I have my fair share of rpg experience and this one was on my radar from a while back. Started playing and I'm enjoying it a lot, but I did have a couple of questions, I knew the text was kinda important in the game, but this video helped point out some details I was wondering about. I am playing Inquisitior, and probably will troll my build just going out for a fire poison hybrid, but I'm not that concerned, I will be playing this one for quite a while 😂
Have fun with the game and thanks for the comment. If it might help, here’s an ‘Absolute Beginners’ guide with no spoilers - th-cam.com/video/i3DK5Wk9QI4/w-d-xo.html
Hey mate, loving your vids. I'm a pretty experienced player but I still run up against things I can't quite figger out. Is there any way to ask you specific questions about which gear is better etc?
Thanks for the comment, it’s much appreciated 👊🙂 I always respond to questions on here unless TH-cam manages to hide the comment from me, so feel free to ask on here.
(Initial: Sorry for my english, its not good). Its a pleasure to see that Grim Down is hitting hard, and people still play it. I leave the game 4-5 years ago (4-5 characters levels 100), and now I want to play again. How is the endgame? What about the modding? Concern only visuals things or too the main game? Thanks!
Hey bud, I've got a question for you. When I look at my stats on the main character page it does not reflect the damage that some of my skills do. For instance, on page 2 under damage per hit it shows Cadence. Cadence does main hand damage and elemental damage. But further down on page 2 under the Magical heading my fire cold and lightning all show 0. Why does the game not reflect accurate info and are you aware of any mods that fix this. It would make choosing between components for gear a lot easier. Love your vids! Thanks!
And by farming items you mean killing elites/bosses. If the item doesn't drop go to menu and back in -fight again till it drops or you have enough of the item you want and then kill their orb?
The accepted definition of ‘farming’ in a gaming context is ‘clearing the same content repeatedly in order to gain (specific) items or resources’. Sometimes the farming in GD is for non-specific drops (example, anything of legendary rarity) but there are also many specific items that can be ‘target farmed’, meaning killing the same boss or enemy type to get an item unique to those enemies.
Great video. Just one question.. if Im building a ranged vindicator with physical to elemental conversion is it better to put points into cunning or spirit? The cunning would boost physical damage but the spirit would help elemental…
Buffs are applied AFTER any conversions. If you are converting physical damage to elemental damage, you need to be buffing elemental (fire, cold, lightning, or generic ‘elemental’) damage. Also, cheers for the comment 👊🙂
Following on from my previous reply, here’s an important tip: To check the damage type(s) you are actually dealing, look on tab 2 of the character info (the inventory/character screen) and hover over the skills on mouse buttons 1 and 2, or the ‘weapon damage’ if that is all you are currently using. The damage figures shown here are AFTER any conversions have been applied and are likely to be different from the figures shown on the mastery screen and the icons on the skill bar. The tab 2 values are the CORRECT values.
Hi! I have a hard time on elite with Ritualist skeleton lvl 77 build. My conclusion: skellyes suck! Which mastery combo makes the best pet build to crush and smash the hardest difficulty in your opinion, and still be viable until best gear? Ty!
Thanks for the question! I’m nowhere near being a pet-build expert, but I did make some videos for an ‘easy gear’ elemental pets character (no skeletons). Here are the first and last videos in the series if you’re interested in having a look. It turned out very strong, better than I expected. Level 94 guide th-cam.com/video/Bfes2n6TO3w/w-d-xo.html First guide th-cam.com/video/sVdg6dxO9tc/w-d-xo.html
Cheers for the comment, much appreciated. And yes, I have ‘thought about’ that mod but always stayed away from it. My Grim Dawn addiction is bad enough with just the standard game (DLCs included), I don’t need to make it any worse 👊🙂
I can use a custom opened rift to travel to a map rift, but I can't do it in reverse. If I open a rift, travel to Devils Crossing, then try and go back to the opened rift it says I can't do it?
I know what you’re trying to do. You rift travel to a world rift, example Devil’s Crossing, then you open the map and try to rift back to the rift you put down when you travelled to the world rift, but you’re actually trying to use a personal rift to travel to a personal rift. As you can only have one personal rift, this cannot be done. You can only travel TO your personal rift from a world rift.
Have to say, I committed the cardinal sin on my latest playthrough (old habits die hard) but I've always played the game that way. This was a great video, Grim Dawn is still the best ARPG out there these days, though still love Path Of Exile and Titan Quest. Unlike many, I enjoyed but am distinctly unimpressed with Diablo 4, definitely sticking with the classics for now.
While this is something that would probably be fun to do, I honestly don’t have the time for it. There’s always the official Crate Entertainment forum for Grim Dawn - a lot of GD players on there who would be able to give (much better) answers to any of your questions 👊🙂
@@Arcadelife1 I'll scan my game files and run a repair. Thanks sorry if the question sounded troll. I thought it might be something with changing the save files name. But sounds like a technical issue
My recommendation is to hold off on your second class till lvl 50. You can sleepwalk through elite, so any skill can carry you, and having lots of points to play with all the skills to see what playstyle fits.

Thank you 👊🙂
Huge help. Thank you. I played through the majority of the base game already & didn't know half of this
I've had this downloaded for months and never played it. Just jumped in and was a bit overwhelmed - you've saved the day. nice work mate

Thanks mate! Didn't know that thing about resetting the vendors after 10 secs. Every video I always learn something new! Keep it up.
Yeah it’s any rift/portal so if there’s a doorway/portal nearby you can go through that and back through it to get the same result, example is the plant shopkeeper in Ancient Grove.

Yes, unfortunately.

Is this a trick question? The answer is - the same way you created the first two. Unless you have some kind of unique technical issue.
@@Arcadelife1 I'll scan my game files and run a repair. Thanks sorry if the question sounded troll. I thought it might be something with changing the save files name. But sounds like a technical issue
