Items and where they can be found!

[Happyandfree]

Hello everyone!

I´m pretty new to the game, but I played alot of other ARPG´s already and MMORPGs and the one things that is pretty annoying to deal with as a new player to this game is the lack of Information on WHERE certain items can be found.
I googled the official site, the fan sites and tried everything to find any information on WHERE certain items can be found. I never experienced this lack of Information in any of the other games and after 2 years I thought this game would have a solid database.

If you guys have a solid database that not only tells you the stats of a certain item, but also WHERE you can find that item, I would be happy for that Link to that website.
I like this game a lot, but the lack of Information is really annoying.

Thanks for every helpful person in advance :)

Don´t get me wrong, I do appreciate your help, but I don´t want to spam the forum with all the items, that I´m trying to find. That´s just bad behaviour and I´m not the kind of guy who spams what he wants in the forum.

I´m more the kind of guy, who searches the things he needs for his character without being a burden for others or relying too much at others. But that only works with a database :P

Sorry if that makes it complicated :)

So here is what you need to know. Any level X item can drop off any mob of the same level *except* for monster infrequents and crafting mats. However, if the mob in question uses a pistol it isnt going to drop an axe and so on, so if you're looking for an axe you probably want to target humanoids who may use axes... but you may also get it off a giant spider.

There is no - need Y go to X area information to be had. Except in specific situations, and those situations are pretty clear being that the item usually has the mobs name in it or something like that.

The wiki is your database - use google (or whatever) to search it. I think that will cover 80% or more of the MIs and monster-specific epic/legendary drops. I'm not being an equine's backside; that's what I did.

Edit: I don't personally make use of the WYSIWYG drops (with the exception of MIs). Most monsters just don't drop epic/legendary items often enough for me to farm specific trash mobs rather than farming a place that drops epic/legendary items more often.

Edit2: The preceding statement makes me sad.

Pretty much this. To me it is more a "fun" feature when you are killing some trash mobs and you suddenly notice one wearing something they normally don't.

The point I made in mentioning it tho was more to the effect of the other aspect of it, mobs/heroes/bosses that use certain item types being more likely to drop those types (and thus spawn with rarer versions of those types).

By no means is it something to entirely base your farming habits off of tho. At least not when hunting for specific Legs and the like.

@Dyer1981 thanks for this really good insight :)
Does this also apply to the Set items? A friend of mine has 2 of the maivens sanctuary set pieces and only needs maivens Tome to get it complete. And we were searching Wiki, and all Grim dawn related websites to see where we could find this or the chillsurge Ring for hthe lvl 40´s then.

I wish I could notice details like that in the middle of a battle with a seizure's worth of effects going off. I get too focused on the fight itself to pick up details though - as I've noted before in other games. That's probably why I don't like glass cannons in Grim Dawn. Too many little details that can get them killed. In, say, D2, a sorc was easier to handle: let nothing touch you. I can do that, no problem. I was even pretty good at one-on-one pvp... though I loathed most pvpers.

You wont complete low level sets and they arn't worth the effort trying. You will out level the set way before completion. Make new toons and eventually they will be twinked out in gear if you kept it all.

Farming for top tier gear is going around killing ~lv50+ bosses, doing rogue likes and crucicle..

You rly want a special specific item... make a class that cant use it and you will get several copies of the item you desire :P

Well thanks alot everyone of you for the help. This thread can be closed now by one of the mods :)

Here is a good Grim Dawn Map with locations,

Let´s say you want the Maivens Sanctuary Set, then I´m sure, that you as experienced player do already have an idea on where to farm it for, like a lvl 25-34 character.
The lesser experienced people won´t have any idea where to find them, because there is just no Information to be found.

Just don't. There is no need to farm in this game unless you play hardcore.

At lvl 85 you can farm crusible for legendaries some of which would be sets. Epic sets are worth close to nothing especially the low lvl ones...

[DeadByDefault]

As people have pointed out, except for Monster Infrequents, all epic and legendary items can be found as random drops from chests or loot orbs. Areas with guaranteed hero spawns and potentially more random heroes on top of that as well as at least one boss are (inter alia and in no particular order): Secret Labroratory, Cronley's Hideout, Twin Falls, Broken Hills, Arkovian Undercity, The Four Hills.

With all due respect this website only gives information on the equipment (as it states in the home page) but gives no location as to where they can be found/have a higher drop rate.

With all due respect that website is ~4 patches outdated (use http://www.grimtools.com/db/) and the information you're seeking is indefinite. If I'm not mistaken you'll find the information needed to understand when/where drops happen earlier in this thread - without requiring some saint to assemble drop+affix tables for every monster in each area in each difficulty at each player level.

If you want to really get a headache look into loot you can look at http://www.grimdawn.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52661

the grimtools website actually contains info about who drops specific monster infrequents. everything else is pure random.

don't know why you resurrected a thread that was dead for about 4 months just to correct someone who may not even play the game or read the forum any more.

[Anathema]

1. You shouldn't have even responded to OP at all because this topic is from June and OP has long since moved on. Yes, you are expected to look at the topic date before responding.

2. It doesn't matter that Graceful Dusk and Grimtools are different websites. Graceful Dusk has not been updated for a long time. It was already out of date in June when this topic was made. Unlike Graceful Dusk, Grimtools actually does list which enemies drop the few items with specific drop locations.

Although this is kind of an obvious item, the wikia wiki is decent enough for many named items. It will even show a general map of locations, if you follow links to the NPCs that hold them (I think the wiki uses the-maphack). http://grimdawn.wikia.com/wiki/Kilrian's_Shattered_Soul

http://grimdawn.wikia.com/wiki/Maiven%27s_Hood so no location data is listed for this item.

Things more useful to many levels (like components) might be better researched than level specific lowbie items.

http://grimdawn.wikia.com/wiki/Black_Tallow
http://grimdawn.wikia.com/wiki/Spined_Carapace <-- I actually have two of these without going being at Homestead yet. I think I got them from the Crucible.

You might be better off just running Crucibles up to a certain level to try and have the chests limit their loot tables.

let's revive the thread.. so the problem still remains. I can go to grimtools database and search for what a specific boss will drop. but I can't search for WHICH creature or Game Area has a chance to drop ThisOrThatPistol, for example. so if I want to build a build around ThisOrThatPistol, I'm sht out of luck, if I don't Have It Already! which is nonsense. it makes absolutely no sense to build only based on the legendaries you have, and take years to gather all the legendaries in game.. instead of knowing exactly where to go and who to farm, to build anything you really want, right now. so there is no database anywhere that you can query and find who exactly drops ThisOrThatPistol?? or whatever piece of gear you need.
