Having returned from a two-week international trip this past weekend, I just realized that the 86th installment to Crate's "Grim Misadventures" feature is online, and it promises Build 29 of Grim Dawn by the end of the year while also introducing us to a concept they call "Empowered Epics". Read on:
We are still on track for a 2015 release of Build 29, and all of the game's promised content with it. We already showed you some of the Legendary items you can look forward to hunting down, but there is still more to come with itemization. In today's update, we would like to talk about how we are expanding the selection of Unique items in the endgame.
Throughout your levelling experience, you will find a variety of unique items that will suit your particular playstyle but, like the lowly scrap-heap of equipment you wear early on, there will come a time when you have to retire your favorite Epic item in favor of something new that helps you compete with the ever stronger monsters of Cairn. However, we feel that it would be a shame to leave all those items behind in the dust, so we have created what we are calling Empowered Epics.
Empowered Epics are just that, powered up versions of low level unique items which have been updated to become competitive with high level equipment. Empowered Epics are treated like new items in that they do not just get their existing stats increased, they also receive new bonuses and skills on top of that.
