Tips I Wish I Knew Before Playing

I’ve been writing some articles about Grim Dawn recently in Fextralife.com , and thought I should be sharing them in official forums for all to see. First I had some kind of a review of the game (minus giving scores): Grim Dawn – A detailed analysis. Is this ARPG worth your time? Then I proceeded for this small Tips series: Tips I Wish I Knew Before Playing - Part one (Vanilla 1.0.5.0) Tips I Wish I Knew Before Playing - Part Two (Vanilla 1.0.5.0) I’ll be following with more several parts …

By the way, does this game have seasons/leagues or anything similar where things reset every now and then, like in path of exile?

No, it’s a single-player game, after all.

Hey everune. Welcome to the forum!

Are you looking for specific advice? Or general advice?

[Everune]

I’m glad to hear there are no seasons/leagues, restarting every three months is part of the reason I burnt out in path of exile. And spanksalot, I just made this thread to ask for any general advice, as well as introduce myself.

GD Acronym and Abbreviation List

Please reply with acronym or abbreviation discussions and reply with anything I missed. I don’t know all of them, but learning about them is what this thread is for! I’ll update the original post with new suggestions. If you want to look up an abbreviation you’ve heard, try pressing Ctrl+F (that will in most browsers open the search function) and type it out, then hit Enter. You’ll be pointed to the first entry which matches your search. Mind you that some abbreviations depend on context. For…

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

HUGE thanks to… Everyone who contributed to this guide, with very special thanks to malawiglenn for taking all the time to map out all the farming routes. Preface I think I may have unintentionally ruffled some feathers. I am not trying to dictate the way people should play this game. I am merely trying to share with the community how more experienced players play GD in as efficient a manner as possible, with efficiency referring to: i. Looting, ii. Levelling. Of course feel free to play GD…

malawiglenn’s guide on game mechanics for beginners

malawiglenn’s guide on game mechanics for beginners I will explain some of the more advanced game mechanics that I often see new(er) players having troubles with or just being asked about in general to a pretty high extent. My goal is to keep this guide as short as on point as possible to make it helpful for beginners. There will be plenty of examples in order to give some practical tips. May the Witch Gods enlighten you! :faction_dre…

Ooh, thanks, those look like some good guides to read. It always amazes me how much work people put in to explaining games in guides so others can learn more.

[sir_spanksalot]

Game mechanics in GD is confusing, and the tooltip can be misleading.

So feel free to ask away with any questions you might have

[Everune]

One more question: Is there any way to trade or gift items in this game?

[sir_spanksalot]

Only on MP. You need to create a lobby and have people join.

There’s also a pretty active trading thread here

FG SC legit trade thread #1

starting a Forgotten Gods Softcore trading thread, legit only plz!

[Everune]

Thanks spanksalot.

Thanks spanksalot.

Technically you can trade without using MP but you need to be using local saving and it requires juggling save files around a little.

Hi, I’ve noticed some spiders in the early hours of the game in these dank cellar environments. Will there be tons of spiders in this game?

I don’t know how to write spoliers, so here’s my answer. In GD there’s variety of enemies races and they are common in the specific area. In Warden Krieg cellar and some early stages there’s abundance of them. Also there is one Boss you need to kill later on main quest path. There’s also famous hidden boss. Also lother insects enemies. But I don’t think there are other areas with many spiders

If you are afraid of spiders, @jiaco once wrote a mod that made them all really small. Dunno that it still works anymore tho plus you’d have to play custom games to use it OR learn how to merge mods to override the Main Campaign…something I still need to learn how to do someday.

[REL] Arachnophobia Mod

Based on a request to rid the world of Cairn of spiders, I just made them all really small. As usual, do what you want with my source records included in the zip. Install as you would another mod that actually tells you how to install it. Bug reports welcome, I hardly tested this at all.

@nery: I will replace the “i’s” in “spoilers” with 1’s so you can see how to do it

Bug reports welcome

@jiaco: I get the pun. good 1 m8

Some general advice I’ve given to friends who’ve yet decided to get and/or play Grim Dawn:

• Explore everywhere … every nook and hidden space … and you’ll be rewarded.
• Keep your eyes open to be aware of your surroundings (sometimes referred to as “situational awareness”)
• Also pay attention to what you’re doing … or sometimes what you’re not doing (e.g., damage) … so you can know when you need to make corrections
• Don’t get frustrated when that uber-elite loot you want doesn’t drop right away … it’s all part of the game.
• upgrade, upgrade, upgrade
• Kill everything … take their stuff.
• Inventory space is limited. Once you have a full complement of yellow gear, filter yellows and whites and only pick up greens to sell for extra iron (also collect blues and purples but sell extras of each). This makes more efficient use of your limited inventory space.
• Have fun. If you’re getting frustrated, you’re doing it wrong. cartoon hd 9apps
