    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 😂

    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!

    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”.

    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

    Жыл бұрын

    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.

  • @sirosis1971
    @sirosis1971Ай бұрын

    Hey bud, I've got a question for you. When I look at my stats on the main character page it does not reflect the damage that some of my skills do. For instance, on page 2 under damage per hit it shows Cadence. Cadence does main hand damage and elemental damage. But further down on page 2 under the Magical heading my fire cold and lightning all show 0. Why does the game not reflect accurate info and are you aware of any mods that fix this. It would make choosing between components for gear a lot easier. Love your vids! Thanks!

  • @Arcadelife1

    @Arcadelife1

    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 👊🙂

    11 ай бұрын

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.
