A how-to on getting loot efficiently on solo play + advice on levelling

[gregory_portman]

Sorry I still dont get it.

Checking your example, in one of the links I see the base item, I get that. In the other one, I see the item with prefixes and afixes. But it’s the same info I would see in the game. How do I know, without major knowledge of the stats, that this version deserves keeping and another one with other prefixes and subfixes doesnt?
OP said to check GT, and I dont see how this helps.

I even use rainbow mod and keep double-rares. But I still sell tons and tons of greens each game, and Im pretty sure im selling some useful stuff. I was curious about OPs hint on using GT to determine if an item is good or not, but in your example I see the same info as ingame.

Try to look at this:

Generally speaking - more to the right side of the chart are potentially more powerful items. This chart is not perfect but I’ve created it to visualize itemization in Grim Dawn Better. I hope it will help you a bit with understanding the itemisation

Still you can get double rare that is utter crap for any build… unfortunately ;( Need to praise to RNJesus And how to know what is utter crap? Well that comes with exp. Same as in PoE. You can have spell dagger, phys dagger. Same for 2handers, etc. etc.

One of the general rules is: I’ll say that +1 to any skills are almost always better than +%dmg.
But still not true for every item. blah blah blah…

Just play and learn
