Grim Dawn - Empowered Epics

Installment number 86 of the Grim misadventures for Grim Dawn talks about empowered epic items.

Grim Misadventures continues! We hope that everyone is enjoying the recent release of Build 28 and the highly anticipated Devotion System. But there is still more to come!

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. Take a look at some of the Epic items receiving the Empowered treatment.
