1:25 #3 Forgotten gods, select your faction and apply all 3 faction mandates if you have them from a previous character. Also worthwhile picking up the 6 lore notes at the conclave of the 3. I also do the first Shattered Realm just to get the devotion shrine.
All good tips to know or remember With one hardcore character I forgot number 5, got too full of myself, and die in the most stupid way, losing a lot of dynamite, and (green) shards among other stuff :/
Tip 1: don't pick a second class until at least level 40. This will give you a good handle on the playstyle you want with the character, and reduce regret. Tip 2: (Mostly for SC) rebind your portal button to something easy and drop it after entering new areas, before bosses and periodically as you have long. This will reduce long backtracks. (In HC, 8t gives you a quick escape to reset cds) Tip 3: use component attacks to supplement damage or be the primary source of damage. Up to level 40, the components and advanced components can compete with main skills as far as damage goes, just as long as you upgrade weapons. Tip 4: hoard all MIs that are double/triple rare, or that have matching pre/suf. You never know what you want to play next.
1) This really isn't universally true. Once you know the classes and their synergies a bit, restricting yourself to a single class for a long time is definitely not necessary (and it can actually make your playthrough harder / more tedious due to missing skills and stats from the other class). My advice would be "don't always take the second class at level 10 - unless you're already going for a particular build". Taking it around level 20 is usually reasonable though.
Yes. Backup you're saves and move them out to another file location. You can then start new and fresh without anything shared. If you want to play an older character, just swap the saves around.
Thanks dude. I personally really like the Crucible trick and it only takes about 20mins. If I had another high level character who could give me merits I could go and get lore notes from ultimate and level quick that way, but you don't get the devotions then. Swings and roundabouts really.
You are not playing the game as it is intended by killing yourself to move up a level. Defeats the whole purpose of playing the game. Remember it is about survival not an arcade.
ARPGs, unless hardcore, always have an element of dying in them. Pushing harder is going to come with this consequence. I feel this is just a tactic to level initially.
@@BaamGames I disagree. In my opinion, to sacrifice yourself to get a level up is a failure to find an alternative. To me the challenge is to get as far as you can alive. It is like solving a puzzle in a way. Of course you can play the game anyway that pleases you, however I respectfully disagree with this approach in playing any game. It's like cheating in my opinion.
@Mister GGG don't you find it interesting though that the game levels you up when you die? Also, do you find that using merits to skip content cheating too as you can skip over what was intended? Lastly, it's nice to disagree with someone but be grown up about it. Thank you.
@@BaamGames No I do not find it interesting to level up by dying, in fact it just doesn't make any sense at all in my opinion. If you can skip any area by another means that is part of the game that follow the purpose of the game then I would except that, however it does not make any sense at all that you advance in anyway once you are dead. Although the game levels you up once you are dead, to me that is a flaw in the game. Dead is dead game over. As far as your last statement about being "grown up" when I disagreed with your viewpoint I was being grown up about it when I respectfully disagreed with you.
@Mister GGG haha dude I think you have missed my point, I was being respectful and actually acknowledging your comment as a grown up way to communicate. You haven't just said swear words at me and not given a valid argument. To be honest, I really don't mind either way - death or no, as long as I am having fun. Hardcore of course is different and I naturally aim to stay alive.
Tip number 3, forgotten God's, you can also pick up a movement ability early on.
This is also very true! I'll pin this one.

First tip: Have fun! Nothing else really matters, but it does help. Thanx for the vid, I hope it helps new players.
Great tip!
0:40 “Tell Lokarr you’ve had enough” - the only tip you ever need 😂
But does he ever listen? Or just continue to put you down?

There's a lot of triple rare MI's that are bad and aren't worth hoarding. In fact most of the time I get a triple rare, it's useless.
Best greens can be BiS, but they are usually not double rares, because the needed suffixes/prefixes depend on the build.

Great tips I'll take advantage of some of theses when I start diving into Grim Dawn
Let us know how you get on!
@@BaamGames Thank You I'll see what works
Is there shared stash in GM to share with other characters when you make them or?As D2R has one?:)
Yep there is. Just press the shared stash button on thr top left of the person who holds your items.
Also, use the Lokarr's set for the ultimate leveling gear.
Plus a potion of clarity 🤓
Very nice tips bro thank you so much. 😊
You're welcome.
For tip 3, Does it matter which side you pick?
I never liked the crucible start. It just always feels too slow to me (from an effeciency standpoint)
For a fresh softcore character I have it down to pretty well. Of course, if you have merits you have more options.
@@BaamGames i usually find that I can reach Krieg in the same time I take to do crucible lol
@@travissullivan6575 krieg in 20mins?
@@BaamGames in the 30 min challenge, I'm already running into warden's celler, and I think I can do it faster
I just got the game. How does one start in the Crucible?
In the menu change the game mode to crucible
@@BaamGames ahhh thank you.
I am a bit different on this. I want to start a new character, but I don't want it to have all the shared patterns and resources. Is this possible?
Yes. Backup you're saves and move them out to another file location. You can then start new and fresh without anything shared. If you want to play an older character, just swap the saves around.
@@BaamGames Great! Thanks!
Thanks a lot for the video!
Welcome
Great tips, I must try the Crucible trick next time I level a SC character!
Thanks dude. I personally really like the Crucible trick and it only takes about 20mins. If I had another high level character who could give me merits I could go and get lore notes from ultimate and level quick that way, but you don't get the devotions then. Swings and roundabouts really.
How do I get the shared stash?
Press the button on the stash to switch
which build is that in the intro at 0:05? :)
That would be my warder. Very fun to play.
Tip: Have all of the DLCs and a character that has been through Act 6.
Zzzzzzzzzz
your character against the celestials is not viable
Completely agree. He has killed Lokkar and Mog, but cannot do the other ones - just too squishy. He may able to do it with some changes.

lies and slander!
