Here is what you can do without you or someone else going into modding the game.
Create an “empty” mod. This will act like the main game but give you access to the console, with which you can increase your level.
- Go to game install location … Grim Dawn/mods
- create an empty folder
- start game and select custom game and select the mod folder you created.
- when in game, you can press the console key ~ (may be different for some keyboard layouts)
Type this command to level:
game.IncrementLevel
press up arrow to repeat last command.
other commands you might find useful:
game.decrementdevotion - Removes a devotion point
game.IncrementAttribute - Gives the player an attribute point
game.incrementdevotion - Gives the player a devotion point
game.IncrementLevel - Increments the player’s level. Will level up devotions when used.
game.IncrementSkill - Gives the player a skill point
If you only want to test skills, this will be enough. Testing items will be another challenge.
