Up-to-date Patch notes here!!!

Version 1.0 intro patch notes
All recipes for partial components now give a completed one, since it was annoying and unsatisfying to only craft parts one at a time. This list is probably pointless but I did actually leave a few of them untouched.

Blacksmiths have been revamped. Each blacksmith now only has two blacksmith bonuses, of which both should be desirable. Their bonuses are now static where it was possible to make them so. This change is to lower RNG influencing your crafting by a large amount. Give me feedback on if any of the below seem worthless.
Duncan gives (1-3% cast speed + 2% spirit) or (5% elemental resist + 9% energy regen)
Angrim gives 1-2% attack speed or (4% pierce resist + 5% armor)
Legion smith gives 69-71 health or (3% aether + chaos resist.)
Necropolis smith gives 1-3% crit dmg or (3% poison AND bleed resist)
Celestial smith gives 11% total damage or (9 OA and 5 DA)
Gaius Ember in Outskirts gives (4% to physique and cunning) or (4% vit resist and 7% hp regen)
Kaylon in Malmouth gives (+4% damage blocked by shields and -2% block recovery time) or (6% stun/freeze/trap resist)

Some craftable items have been changed since they’re so underused.
Intrepid Warboots - added +3% OA.
Puppetmaster Links - added 7 flat physical dmg bonus to pets

This mod aims to: Make your choice of blacksmith matter. Make crafting less grindy. Make crafting less RNG based. Streamline annoying parts of crafting. Improve the balance the shittiest craftable loot.

If it isn’t obvious, this mod is meant to be a template for other modders. Something a lot of people modding the base game may want to include. It will also be something for me to merge into my full end-game-compilation I have in mind. So far I’m working on this mod + Multiplayer Enhanced. A bigger project I have in mind is a “Boss Fights, revamped!” mod where I touch up all the boss fights to last longer but be more interesting and difficult.

Changes coming way later: I plan on adding level 90 versions of low level components that you can only get through crafting. I dunno where I’ll put the blueprints yet… maybe just a new vendor. I won’t make a level 90 version of every component, just ones that I think if amplified could compete with current component choices for their slots, without pushing out existing meta choices. Or said differently, I don’t want to buff low level components to the point that currently used components stop getting used all together. The idea is to add more diversity of choice. Runic Topaz’s days of being used on 90+% of builds are numbered.

Please give me feedback on my changes, and feel free to suggest which craftable magic (yellow) and rare (green) tier items are garbage and need buffing.

Installation

  1. After downloading, unzip folder to this location:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Grim Dawn\mods
    1a. If “mods” folder doesn’t exist, make one.
    2a. If using cloud save, learn how to get your character files onto your computer via this thread.
    2b. If not using cloud save, or having done 2a, use Mamba’s GDStash to transfer your characters from vanilla over to the mod if you don’t want to start over.
  2. Make sure you go to C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Documents\My Games\Grim Dawn\save and copy your transfer.gst, transmutes.gst and most importantly your formulas.gst over to C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Documents\My Games\Grim Dawn\save\CraftingEnhanced . Failure to do so may result in your playing the mod with blank blacksmiths who can’t craft anything. This can be fixed at any time with this step though.

Reserved for later

Neat.
When official GD development comes to an end, I’m definitely looking forward to see what you, Ceno, and others come up with.
Hope we can get something of the same scope as the best TQ mods, they added so much to the original games.

This program can give you all blueprints: [Tool] GD Stash
