Verily, a Grim Misadventure is here. Last time, we unveiled the entirety of the absolutely massive Ascension Mode coming with Fangs of Asterkarn next year. Today’s update may not be quite as groundbreaking, but you really cannot go wrong with some hot new weapons from the artists.
But before we get into hot weapons, we should really talk about today’s sponsor…the plushie you all voted for. Yes, for a few more days, you can make Byscilla, Matron of Plushies a reality. Don’t make Byscilla sad, she’s got a sacrificial knife:
As you may have seen in our previous item reveal (this one, not that one), we have been experimenting with some new modifiers for your skills for the upcoming expansion. You will be able to enhance your baseline Evade ability, and your weapon pool skills (WPS) will finally get a boost that lets you specialize in them by improving their activation chance.
This latest batch of items follows this trend with some fun new ways to change up your playstyle.
Note: as always, everything you are seeing today is in active development and subject to change. Nothing is set in stone until it is!
Aeon’s Eye
A strange necklace! It seems to warp the fabric of the pet-time continuum.
Brand of the Crimson Company
For those that wish for their shield to go bonk too. And yes, it works with guns!
Vidurian’s Suppressor
A crossbow that shoots knives? What will they think of next?
Widowspine
Dreeg’s Evil Grenado?
We mentioned last time that Fangs of Asterkarn will feature over 210 unique items and over 90 monster infrequents. That number only keeps growing. There are already over 400 new skill modifiers, and we still have to finish itemizing the new set items and awakened epics!
On the topic of awakening epics, we will cover the hows and whys in a future update (hint: it is not going to be all that complicated), but here is one example that should illustrate what kind of results you can expect from such a transmutation:
With a few exceptions, Awakened Epics are intended to take the playstyles supported by the original item and bring them up to the power level of Legendaries. This means new skill procs and modifiers and even more gear support than ever before!
There is plenty more left to do before the expansion is ready next year. Plenty more left to show too! The next dev update is bound to leave you…howling for more.
No idea what is even going on here. Seems shady.

Really cool
