The two base potions, health and mana, are no longer in the game as of v.1.2. Instead they went a route similar to GGGs Path of Exile. Now you just have two buttons centered on the level counter on your status bar. They are also mapped to the E and R keys so you can just use your keyboard or click the two buttons on the status bar. This can be changed with keybindings, so I changed them to Q and R and I use E for the new third button between the two, the new evasion skill/ability. Unlike PoE these two potions are not attached to bottles of any kind and don't fill up with your combat actions actions; instead they now just have cooldowns. Once they're refilled you can use them again. This also applies to the evasion ability.

The game is currently about to undergo another improvement with the pending release of the new expansion this year Fangs of Asterkarn which will add a new class, new factions, a new area and quests as well as new loot, etc. This is the best time to pick up Grim Dawn if you haven't already!

Usually, a good way to tell the difference between a magic and rare affix is to look at how complicated the name is. Is it basic? Like charged or decaying or of thunder or of decay? Then it's magic. Is it complicated like skyfallen or magestorm or of torrents? Then its magic. Is it a single class? Shaman's xxxx or is it a combination of classes like Elementalist's xxxx? The former is magic with the latter being rare.

BTW, great video with a lot of great info that will help a lot of new players

As a content creator myself, most of the times I find myself unable (mostly because lack of real life time) to do guides for beginners.
Liked that one a lot, will recommend when someone asks me about it. Cheers.

This video instantly made the game more fun to play since hunting good items is such a big part of the game. Also convinced me to install Rainbow Filter even though I wasn't going to use any mods. Thanks!

[Serj_]

sheesh, what a nice video man! I like the way you explained everything so well and in a short time, i really apreciate it

[Shitori]

That video is exactly what i was looking for !! And your voice + intonation + way to talk was easily understandable even from a non native speaker like me (french).
Keep up !!

[lucasvzille]

Awesome guide Smattymaty! Thank you so much for putting this together!

[Theshrimp]

Ty for this, I was getting really confused by what magic and rare items actually meant and this video made me realize I was looking at it from a backwards perspective where the rarity influenced the prefixes/suffixes like in other ARPGs.

awsome video. I've reached the 100hrs played mark and I had no ideia how items supposed to work.. The interface for affixes are not very clear even with Rainbow filter. I had no idea that one rare affix (green) made the whole item green.. For me the item itself was rare hahah. So, great explanation, helped a lot!!!

[SaltandDragons]

Great video, i have just started a playthrough of this game and am having a blast so far.

[GrayBeardFPS]

Grim dawn is by far the best arpg out there today.. i realy hope we will see a GD2

[GuruChaz]

This is coming out on Xbox December 3rd!

[miszajansen]

This has been the most useful item guide i found so far. Thanks a lot!

[progzO]

Great video! You deserve much more views. Good job, and thanks it helped me a lot.

[RPGCommunityCollege]

Nice Guide! I'm sure this will help a lot of people out.

[driiifter]

The loot is why I play this over other ARPGS. It's substantial, well made, but also isn't full of random arse stats.

Speaking of rainbow filter not being a base game QoL feature yet, it would be good if there was an easy visual way to see what amount of the damage you're dealing or raking are of which damage types.

It makes it really hard to choose a favourite song when all the album songs are amazing ❤♠️

[boggoutt]

I still can't figure out why item affixes are in white or gray (shown below an item's description box) as in the video @ 3:39 with Glacial Alkamos' Sythe of Alacrity. Some of the items I already used or wielded had them and would it mean they're all "active" bonuses? Just asking for an explanation.

"Temporary defenses can mean the difference between living or dying"
But if you knew the danger was coming wouldn't you just play differently?
In what situations do people actually use the temporary potions?
