    Thanks mate! Didn't know that thing about resetting the vendors after 10 secs. Every video I always learn something new! Keep it up.

    • @Arcadelife1
      @Arcadelife1  Před rokem +1

      Yeah it’s any rift/portal so if there’s a doorway/portal nearby you can go through that and back through it to get the same result, example is the plant shopkeeper in Ancient Grove.

    I just downloaded this a couple of days ago. I have my fair share of rpg experience and this one was on my radar from a while back. Started playing and I'm enjoying it a lot, but I did have a couple of questions, I knew the text was kinda important in the game, but this video helped point out some details I was wondering about. I am playing Inquisitior, and probably will troll my build just going out for a fire poison hybrid, but I'm not that concerned, I will be playing this one for quite a while 😂

    (Initial: Sorry for my english, its not good).
    Its a pleasure to see that Grim Down is hitting hard, and people still play it.
    I leave the game 4-5 years ago (4-5 characters levels 100), and now I want to play again. How is the endgame? What about the modding? Concern only visuals things or too the main game? Thanks!

    So I see alot of "pro" player videos talk about the map things, which is fine do it how ever you like to do, but I was just like to point out that both ways are the same amount of clicks or key presses. So i dont think one is fast than the other.
    Love the vids keep it up!

    • @Arcadelife1
      @Arcadelife1  Před rokem +1

      Alternatively I see a lot of let’s play videos where the player only knows the method of manually putting down a rift and clicking it (often not on first attempt if they’re in a rush or a fight), then finding the destination on the map, then clicking that, and every time I think “there’s a better way of doing this but they don’t know it”.

  • @ratking948
    @ratking948 Před 10 měsíci

    Great video. Just one question.. if Im building a ranged vindicator with physical to elemental conversion is it better to put points into cunning or spirit? The cunning would boost physical damage but the spirit would help elemental…

    • @Arcadelife1
      @Arcadelife1  Před 10 měsíci

      Buffs are applied AFTER any conversions. If you are converting physical damage to elemental damage, you need to be buffing elemental (fire, cold, lightning, or generic ‘elemental’) damage.
      Also, cheers for the comment 👊🙂

    • @Arcadelife1
      @Arcadelife1  Před 10 měsíci

      Following on from my previous reply, here’s an important tip: To check the damage type(s) you are actually dealing, look on tab 2 of the character info (the inventory/character screen) and hover over the skills on mouse buttons 1 and 2, or the ‘weapon damage’ if that is all you are currently using. The damage figures shown here are AFTER any conversions have been applied and are likely to be different from the figures shown on the mastery screen and the icons on the skill bar. The tab 2 values are the CORRECT values.

  • @alen7492

    Hi! I have a hard time on elite with Ritualist skeleton lvl 77 build. My conclusion: skellyes suck! Which mastery combo makes the best pet build to crush and smash the hardest difficulty in your opinion, and still be viable until best gear? Ty!

    • @Arcadelife1
      @Arcadelife1  Před rokem

      Thanks for the question! I’m nowhere near being a pet-build expert, but I did make some videos for an ‘easy gear’ elemental pets character (no skeletons). Here are the first and last videos in the series if you’re interested in having a look. It turned out very strong, better than I expected.

    @davidsullivan2404 Před rokem +1

    And by farming items you mean killing elites/bosses. If the item doesn't drop go to menu and back in -fight again till it drops or you have enough of the item you want and then kill their orb?

    • @Arcadelife1
      @Arcadelife1  Před rokem +1

      The accepted definition of ‘farming’ in a gaming context is ‘clearing the same content repeatedly in order to gain (specific) items or resources’. Sometimes the farming in GD is for non-specific drops (example, anything of legendary rarity) but there are also many specific items that can be ‘target farmed’, meaning killing the same boss or enemy type to get an item unique to those enemies.

  • @Grandmastergav86
    @Grandmastergav86 Před rokem +1

    Have to say, I committed the cardinal sin on my latest playthrough (old habits die hard) but I've always played the game that way. This was a great video, Grim Dawn is still the best ARPG out there these days, though still love Path Of Exile and Titan Quest. Unlike many, I enjoyed but am distinctly unimpressed with Diablo 4, definitely sticking with the classics for now.

    I can use a custom opened rift to travel to a map rift, but I can't do it in reverse. If I open a rift, travel to Devils Crossing, then try and go back to the opened rift it says I can't do it?

    • @Arcadelife1
      @Arcadelife1  Před rokem

      I know what you’re trying to do. You rift travel to a world rift, example Devil’s Crossing, then you open the map and try to rift back to the rift you put down when you travelled to the world rift, but you’re actually trying to use a personal rift to travel to a personal rift. As you can only have one personal rift, this cannot be done. You can only travel TO your personal rift from a world rift.
