is there some sort of config for this? nothing is listed on the OP, nor does there appear to be any semblance of one in the download. would i have to hard-edit the files to make changes? (read: adjusting spawnrates, disabling mods, changing mastery scaling)
Welcome to the forum. 
No, all you have to do is extract the files to wherever your save files are. For me since I use local saves this is C:\Documents\My Games\Grim Dawn\save. Extract the files to that folder and it should make a new sub-folder called Grimarillion.
Then just go into the game and select main campaign, then choose custom game and select Grimarillion.
nononono, i’ve got it working, i just don’t like some facets of the mod and want to change them. specifically the scaling of some of the masteries, and various aspects of grimmest.
i tried to crack it open with the editor packaged with grim dawn, but it’s a real beast of a tool (with a 60 page guide). i figured it would be more simple to ask if i’m missing a text document, or some in-game menu, rather than just committing myself to learn the modding tools so as to tweak some in-game values.
thank you though, i certainly appreciate the genuine response.
There is no config and there are no source files for you to edit. To make any changes whatsoever yourself, it’s all on you to learn the modding tools and figure it out. GDStash might help to extract the files but beyond that you’re on your own.
GD Stash won’t extract the files, but the GD modding tools will
Hm, guess I was mistaken, guess this feature doesn’t work as intended then?
Anyway.
Here’s the update everyone:

Make sure to back up your stuff if you don’t want to lose anything. If you lose items, then just restore them with the console or one of the item generator tools. (you might lose spears or staves since I cleaned up some redundant files.)
Also as always, these first releases will probably be more prone to bugs. I’m not perfect unfortunately.

//Earth//
Ring of Flame:
*Adjusted the FX slightly.
Ring of Flame - Chaotic Blaze:
*Removed FX modifier that reverted it to the pre-updated FX.
Rupture:
*Changed the template, might cause a change in how it functions overall but mostly should remain the same. This was using a template that isn’t really supported by GD anymore so requires more work for me whenever I have to update devotions.
//Storm//
Spellbreaker:
*Changed skill template type, still disrupts but no dispels/cleanses.
Storm Wisp:
*Storm Wisp can no longer be killed.
//Spirit//

Snare Trap:
*Targets an enemy, that enemy and nearby enemies become trapped briefly and have their movement slowed for a longer period and begin to take bleeding damage while affected by the trap.
*Might be a little too strong atm, the trap duration is pretty long and the cooldown is short… but due to the mechanics of the template I can’t really change it without some work and I am rushing this patch at this point!
NEW SKILL

*Primary targets struck by the Snare Trap are shackled, binding them to you. The shackled enemy and any enemy who passes between you and the shackled enemy have their DA reduced and are dealt piercing and bleeding damage.

No, that worked. I removed it a long time ago however as no one really needs it for the tool to work (was more for me testing that my arz code worked correctly) and people were confused by it, resulting in lot’s of questions about it when no one asking really needed it in the first place.
The 63 changes are mostly TQ changes ? Are you on the latest version of the D3 mod ?
I see, as you can tell I don’t really play the game much anymore.
I’ll fix the changelog to show that D3 was updated as well.
sorry if I am a noob, do I need to do anything with my characters to transfer them in?
ok I screwed up I think bad, my guys have their gear, bank has gear, but they have no skill points
Kk, with v63, what are some good summoner rings now that the Black Pearl Rings are absolutely worthless?
Nothing to see here.
Bug Report: All constellations only have up to their pre-expansion devotion levels (20 for T1 devotions, 15 for T2 devotions, 10 for T3 devotions) - they do not have their AoM numbers.
It’s weird because I have the AoM devotions fine, it’s just the levels are off.
OK, thanks for the report, was almost ready for the first hotfix but that will have to wait since devotions are important.
Really have to go through my master files and fix this shit…
//Rogue//
Summon Epialos:
*Can no longer be killed.
=> still dies
Asylum, aside from neverending gratitude for your elaborate updates, I have a tiny suggestion.
I realise there have been difficulties with bow animations, but current Spectral Hunter is awful https://prntscr.com/m8gxmm
May I suggest, if it’s not possible other way, to replace him with recolored Nymph model? Maybe it’s not “lore-wise” but it’ll be better anyway.
And Spectral Hunter is not invulnerable also.
That’s another issue entirely… Spectral hunter looked different for me when I was working on it. I’ll have to figure out what went wrong to fix it and then you can tell me if it’s still awful
It’s a little harsh to say they’re completely worthless - they’re still your best bet for pets that do Elemental, Cold, or Fire damage. Unfortunately, the classes that can viably do that sort of thing are reduced since you can’t get a lot of +skills from it, but GQ classes benefit from spears and amulets that each grant +2 to that Mastery, so as long as you build around at least 1 of those Masteries, they’re still BiS.
What you want for your summoner largely depends on what type of pet build you want. Chaos builds still need Voidwhisper rings, Lightning builds still need Glyph of Kelphat’Zoth, Poison pets still use Rotmender. Nature / Spirit builds can make +1 rings at the Satyr. There are Legendary rings that give +1 to Earth or Dream class, and there are still 4 rings that give +1 to all skills.
If you’re playing the Witch Doctor class, look out for the Tall Man’s Finger ring. I won’t spoil what it does, but it’s definitely worth using in a pet build.
I’m still playing Occultist/Earth, so its pretty much Physical/Fire (sadly the Shepherd of Lost Souls converts 100% of Hellhound physical damage to Vitality). Sadly the Amulet slot is taken by Lost Souls set so that I can have 2 Hellhounds. Since I’m using the Grimmest version I cheated to lvl100 from the start. Only had like 1-3 deaths i think and completed all vanilla Grim Dawn except Port Valbury. Did Steps of Torment and Bastion of Chaos. So far the build works surprisingly well but i’m sure Ashes of Malmouth will curbstomp it.
How are skill points distributed?
1 to 50 = 3 points per level
51 to 100? = 2 points?
