Loot tables available?

Hello! :slight_smile:

I remember back in Titan Quest, the forum was filled with very nicely done Excel loot tables. Basically you could tell the drop rate of every boss for every type of item and every quality.

Do such things exist for Grim Dawn? Thanks in advance.

I could do single entity requests. It would take some creative script work from one of the mod masters to parse the whole database. I lack those skills so doing it by hand just isn’t my idea fun.

We accept donations for this kind of work :wink:

Yes yes :smiley: modding is free, work isn’t.

Would you mind explaining your science ô wise? :stuck_out_tongue: I have no clue how to do that even for a single entity (I’d be interested in Ultimate Alkamos).

Ok, lets follow the bread crumbs (I use notepad++ to search files and dirs). First we look in Grim Dawn/resources/Text_EN/tags_creatures.txt

Searching this file for “Alkamos” reveals “tagGhostBoss05.”

Now we search through Grim Dawn/database/records/creatures for the file containing “tagGhostBoss05.” We get hits on :

Grim Dawn/…/enemies/boss&quests/ghost_stepsoftorment_01.dbr
Grim Dawn/…/enemies/boss&quests/ghost_stepsoftorment_02.dbr

Now lets load up Asset Manager and navigate to those files. Those files actually have a description in the header revealing ghost…02.dbr to be Elite/Ultimate Alkamos. Opening this file reveals much concerning this entity, including his initial equipment. Slots have a chance to equip items, then there may be multiple items that have a chance to equip. From there you follow the trail of files to the end to see what you get. Below I followed his scythe and ring trail. Hope you can make sense of my scratch.

Thanks a bunch for explaining me the method kind person!

Regarding Alkamos himself, 5% chance to drop his Scythe in Ultimate at level 70+? That’s actually pretty good. Misc3 “constitution” is probably a vital essence? What is Misc1 in that case? The fact that there is only a Finger1 entry means that Alkamos can never wear two rings at the same time?

Loot tables are available now in a thread near you. (You inspired me to waste 8 hours of my life making them, so thanks. <3)
