Grim Misadventures returns! First off, we would like to give you a heads up on the upcoming build release schedule. You may have noticed that there has not been a Hotfix 3 for Build 25. A few of the outstanding bugs in Build 25 will actually require a full sync to be performed on the build machine. What this means is that we would have to include unfinished buggy content that we are still working on for Build 26. As such, B25 Hotfix 3 has been rolled into the upcoming B26 release. But do not fret. We understand that bugs are frustrating and we are pushing hard to get the new content release-ready. We are confident that Build 26 will be out by the end of the month instead of our original estimate in July.
Today we would like to show you something right out of the artist den. There are two important mechanics in Grim Dawn that help our loot system stand out: the What You See Is What You Get system, where monsters can use cool items against you but, when killed, will drop those items and what we call Monster Infrequents (MIs). Monster Infrequents are a special sub-set of rare items that drop exclusively from specific monsters. They always come with some base attributes but can roll the usual affixes on top of that, potentially making them some of the strongest items in the game. We introduce new Monster Infrequents with almost every build, and Build 26 is no exception. Take a look below for some of the new loot you can hunt for when the build goes live later this month.
Groble Focus
Groble shamans have been known to engage in voodoo rituals to perform their mundane magic. Now you too can harness their stolen magic with the introduction of these shrunken heads.
Obsidian Shield
Obsidian Defilers are gargantuans from the Chthonic Void, but their obsidian flesh is incredibly durable and can be harnessed for your own purposes. If you are foolish enough to enter the Void and survive an encounter with Obsidian Defilers, then these shields could become a part of your collection.
Obsidian Two-Handed Axe
There are creatures within the Chthonic Void that are skilled enough to use weapons and armor. These intelligent brutes are the real danger lurking beyond the rifts. Should you brave the Void and encounter such creatures, then you will find yourself at the mercy of these vicious weapons.
Obsidian Maul
In the darkest depths of the Void, there lurks a beast of flame and shadow that few dare speak of. Its fiery maul has slain countless mortals, and it hungers for more skulls to add to the pit. This Epic quality two-handed mace could be yours if you brave the Chthonic roguelike, coming later this year.
