How empowered/mythical works

Grim Dawn Modding - Tutorials and Help

I’m sorry if my forum searching abilities have failed, but I have been unable to locate a tutorial specifically about this.

I’m trying to find out how different versions of the same item are controlled in the game files.

For example, there’s the item Boneweave Leggings. And there is also a Mythical Boneweave Leggings.

https://www.grimtools.com/db/search?query=boneweave%20leggings&in_description=1&exact_match=0

There is only one dbr file for the Boneweave Leggings, and the skill config/parameters are for the non-mythical version. Where do I go to see how it applies the “Mythical” stats/ranges to the item?

Same question goes for the skill proc on the item. The Sigil of Consumption power on the level 50 version has 92 Vitality Damage, but the level 84 (Mythical) version has 110 Vitality Damage. I assume the actual dbr of the legendary item skill would come into play, but like the item, there do not seem to be multiple dbr files for the “base” and “mythical” versions of Sigil of Consumption. Yet somehow it knows that if the Boneweave Leggings are Mythical, then it changes the Vitality Damage on the Sigil of Consumption buff to 110 instead of 92.

Suppose I wanted to change it so that the Mythical version’s Siigil of Consumption skill granted 50% Attack Damage converted to Health. How would I go about doing that?

Thanks in advance to anyone will answer these questions, or point me to a specific tutorial that will help.

Inside the items folder, there is a folder named “upgraded”.

Same file name “d002_legs.dbr”, but in a different location. It has the upgraded stats. Sigil of consumptions Proc is level 2, which does more damage.

I don’t see an “upgraded” folder within the items folder.

According to Windows File Explorer, there is only one d002_legs.dbr in the Grim Dawn\database\records directory, and it’s the one under items\gearlegs.

You probably didn’t extract the expansion files properly

I used asset manager like the mod guide pdf said to do. I also did it with a bat file and archive tool, extracted to a different directory. Still no “upgraded” folder under items. Hmm.

I believe that is extracted from the expansion files.

yep they go to
\mods\gdx1\database
and possibly gdx2, but because I copy over xpac database to vanilla for a smoother workflow I can’t check it right now.
