Shattered realm and specific build problems

Grim Dawn General Discussion

Hi,
I am currently following a build I found on the forum because it has a nice leveling guide and claims that it can do SR65 pretty easily. The problem I am facing right now is that I followed the build got all the required items and I am struggling to do SR40 on normal. My question is did I do something wrong when I leveled the character / must I grind for better MI items or is the build just outdated.
Also is there a difference between normal/elite/ultimate SR drops?

The link to the build I followed

Grim tools link for my current character

Sorry if this is a stupid question, any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

sr levels changed in the most recent update.
So what was sr 65 before is not the same today, and you’re actually exceeding it by being on sr40
sr 65 before = SR 26 now

so when you see prior build threads with high SR numbers divide them by 2.5 to get the new SR level

yes, SR gives out higher reward amount on Ultimate, so simply just more items on same shard (ex could be 6-8 legends on sr 30+31 Normal but 14-16 on Ultimate).
I don’t remember if the SR specific sets(Ember’s/Goredrinker etc) could drop on Normal, legit can’t remember, i think maybe they didn’t? - but i could very well remember wrong as it’s been long since i checked that thorough

Thanks for the help and fast response I picked up the game a few months ago and the community is really friendly and helpful. Also do you have any fun builds worth trying out?

also worth to note, that aside from exceeding it, there is no loot past 36-37 now then :sweat_smile:
and optimal loot/SP farming is way lower, Ultimate SR 26-27 for regular/starter builds and 30-31 for endgame setups,
*Normal SR is stil fine for beginner farm, you just wanna do it has high as possible because of the reduced item payout, so shard 30-31++ preferably

depends what you like or think is fun, there is aaa lot of potential stuff to build in GD

Thanks for clearing things up, any recommendations on where I should look for builds?

^aside from pinned or regular scrolling can do a sort by time Search results for '#grimdawn:classes-skills-and-builds order:latest_topic' - Crate Entertainment Forum

starter builds:

caveat collection:

*this compendium isn’t maintained anymore so majority of builds aren’t remotely updated, but it might give a quicker glance/build overview than just the build section, - you just then need to find updated versions of said builds in different threads ofc

and also this Grim Dawn Builds but is again just a brief overview, tho you can plop in a few criteria to narrow things down like class or skill you might like
