Ultimate Bank Space!

An easy and straight forward "how to" from start to finish for the Grim Dawn Item Assistant. Following these procedures will ensure that 100% of your characters and items are safe and secure without the confusion and mislead belief that you've lost items.

Ultimate Bank Space Guide

The following is a step by step guide to installing, and using the Grim Dawn Item Assistant application for infinite storage space.

NOTICE: Major Patches generally break most mods/software. The Grim Dawn Item Assistant team is gereally very persistent in updating their addons. Please be patient as the GDIA Team tries to get the GDIA updated whenever big patches break the assistant. I am not a part of the GDIA Dev Team, I am merely a fan of their work.

All links provided. If you find this guide useful, please give it a thumbs up!

This application relieves the player of having to create multiple useless level 1s, and wasting hundreds of thousands of iron bits on bank tabs for these useless toons in order to store all of their legendaries.

Step 1: Download and Install the Grim Dawn Item Assistant

Step 2: Disable Cloud Saving for Grim Dawn via Steam.
Open Steam, right click on Grim Dawn and select "Properties", go to the "Updates" tab and un-tick the "cloud saving" option.


Step 3: Disable Cloud Saving within Grim Dawn
Launch Grim Dawn, and from the main menu click the "Options" button near the bottom. On the General Tab near the bottom right side of the options window un-tick the "Cloud Saving" option.


Step 4: Copy your steam cloud save files to local.
Navigate to "C:\Program Files\Steam\userdata\120141714\219990" and copy ALL of the files. Now navigate to "C:\Users\Name\Documents\My Games\Grim Dawn\save" and paste the copied files. (NOTE: If you do not have a "save" folder, create a new folder, name it "save" and proceed to paste the copied content into the new folder)


Step 5: Launch the GDIA
Launch the GDIA application and load the data base when promted to do so.
(OPTIONAL: Click the backup tab and log into your google drive, dropbox, or onedrive for cloud backup support)

Step 6: Launch Grim Dawn
Launch Grim Dawn and enter a world on your character of choice.

Step 7: How to use
DEPOSIT ITEMS
To use the GDIA you simply place any item/s onto the 5th bank tab, close and walk away.


As long as the GDIA is open and running, it will loot the item which will now appear in the GDIA inventory. NOTE: Any and all items left on the 5th tab will be transfered to the Item Assistant.


SEARCH BY NAME
You can search for specific items using the search bar if you know the name of the item that you seek.


SEARCH BY STAT
You can also look for items with certain damage types,DOTs, resistances, classes and misc stats. Ticking these boxes will filter items accordingly to help you find an item that best suits your needs.


WITHDRAW ITEMS
To retrieve items from the GDIA tab over to the GDIA User Interface and locate your desired item, click on "Transfer to Stash". Items will now appear on the 4th Bank Tab..


Your selected item will now appear on the 4th bank transfer stash tab.


DISCLAIMER: If you lose items, I hate to say it but you've skipped a step. I am not responsible for the loss of any items. Follow this guide from start to finish and you'll have ZERO issues.

It is NOT required that you keep the 4th bank tab clear of items. Just make sure you have enough space on tab 4 to recieve items that you intend on transfering back to your in game stash from the GDIA.

It's been a while since this was posted and since the last comment. I just wanted to make a possibly unnecessary "update" on it.

The game now has 6 banking tabs available, not 5. So as long as you spend the money (your method may vary in terms of organization) you will be placing items in tab 6 and retrieving them from tab 5.

Alternatively, if you don't want to spend the iron on tabs you could do the same thing with common tabs 1 & 2 and store items for particular characters in their own personal tabs rather than the common tabs. This last paragraph is mainly for new players since long term players will already have as many common tabs as they could purchase before the advent of Item Assistant.

Thanks, SlipperyPete, for this awesome scary addon. I've never had so much fun playing an ARPG or had enough room to store the crap I pick up while playing an ARPG. One I hope will spawn an MMORPG at some point in the future. If I weren't poor I'd even sub on Patreon.

I believe that is correct. The only reason to reactivate the steam cloud saves is if you've somehow corrupt your local saves to the point you need to restore them. At which point you could reactivate steam cloud saving which will overwrite any existing file saves with the last cloud saved files.

That said, doing so will potentially overwrite months of progress. As in my case, if I were to do such a thing, I'd loose about a years worth of progress; as I hadn't used Steam Cloud Saving in a very long time.

Good luck!

@ AlphaObeisance

That's all right, no need for apologies at all. It's a monumental attempt to assist people in this manner, and very time consuming, I'm much obliged.

Ok, so I just need to have the Steam Save Off (as I already have for some time, years) and then copy over the files you list, which are more local files. This then gives the Ultimate Bank Space software the files it needs to do what it does.

If that is the correct notion, that's great. I much prefer that approach, as I don't have to reactivate Steam Saves (just in case) and then turn them off again.

Thanks for the follow-up.

@DedZedNub

Negative. The cloud saving referenced too in this guide is in reference to the steam cloud saving. Steam cloud saves your games; and must be disabled (if I recall, it's been a LONG time). The bank system described in this video registers the local files for storage. If Steam's cloud service is enabled, every time you load the game, your bank space files are over written.

It's been long enough I must apologize, I cannot give a better description. I wrote this guide a long time ago; and have since stopped playing Grim Dawn. But if I recall, that' was how it worked.

[DedZedNub]

Thanks AlphaObeisance for this guide. Wanted to ask some questions for an overview of what I have to do.

Long ago, I immediately switched from Cloud Saving to local disk saves. Now, you still mention the Cloud Save files in guide, but they are locally on the userdata area. Will I still need those?

What I'm thinking is that this program basically acts as a Cloud Saver, but without having to use the Cloud. So I'm guessing I'm still going to have to transfer those "Cloud Save" files over anyway, even though they are older than my local hard disk data. Is that the basic idea?

Sorry to ask questions, just wanted to remember by understanding.

[Destroyer]

Ok! Many thx for the info!

[[KIN] AlphaObeisance]

@Destroyer. If I recall correctly, it will not work. With Sync activated, every time you launch the game, steam will update the game saves with it's last cloud save; essentially overwriting everything. So by disabling it, and relying on local save files only, the mod is permitted to make changes without them being overwritten.

Keep in mind, it's been over a year since I last played Grim Dawn; so my memory is faint on the matter. But this is how I seem to recall it working.

[Destroyer]

do u see a problem for those who don't want to disable the save game sync?
would it still work?

[[KIN] AlphaObeisance]

Be advised. I'm not the creator of this modification. I merely made an in depth how to because I was a fan of the mod =)

[deadraque]

thx AlphaObeisance yes I am also against duplicating or cheating i am more of a collector that's why I asked when I played long ago Titan Quest I always used TQ collector that had only one purpose, recording all your findings in the game, that's why I asked as I wanted it to use that way as I don't need 3 times the same object. I use your duplicate filter to delete duplicates, so that sure helps!

But if you ever bored and want to make GD collector that would just record in the background each object you ever picked up once I would be in heaven :)

But again thx for your great program!
