• With the defeat of the final boss, you can now restart the game on Elite and Ultimate difficulty. Expect grave challenges as you engage Grim Dawn at its most difficult.

• With the release of all of the game’s content, the level cap has been increased to 85. Note that the level ranges on normal have been adjusted to match the release of additional difficulties.

[Game]

• PvP is now disabled within safe zones (Devil’s Crossing, Homestead and the Fort Ikon NPC area)
• Completed Quests are now recorded within the Quest Log
• Devotion Shrines claimed are now recorded within the Quest Log
• Reduced Bleed resistance and Bleed duration reduction on ghosts and skeletons to 100% and 50%, respectively, making it possible to overcome their immunity with resistance reduction effects. The same has been applied to all monsters that previously had 500% immunity to any damage type.
• Cunning damage bonus to flat physical and pierce damage reduced by about 9%, indirectly giving spirit a little more relative value as a damage attribute.
• Magical duration damage (burn, poison, decay, etc) bonus from spirit increased by about 10%.
• Crit thresholds lowered for bottom crit bonus tiers but raised for top tiers. Respectively, lower tier crit multipliers have also been lowered but scale more steeply in higher tiers to the same max bonus. It will be easier to crit now but only a very focused crit build will be able to achieve top tier crits.
• OA and DA forumulas have been adjusted. Each character level provides 12 points, up from 10, while each 10 points of Cunning / Physique now provide 4 points, down from 5. Most characters will end up with a slight to moderate bump in OA / DA. Characters that have stacked a lot of cunning may see a decrease.
• The Rhowari Legacy quest now awards a Devotion point rather than the shrine itself to prevent issues in Multiplayer
• Duncan now teleports to Devil’s Crossing immediately if you cross the prison gates after giving him the Malleum Menhir
• Player warning sounds (ex. This skill is not ready yet) are now set on the Dialog sound layer and can be adjusted along with other dialog sounds (ex. vendors)

[Itemization]

• After extensive deliberation and observation of the Community, we have decided that the best course of action for the longterm health and balance of the game is to remove Completion Bonuses from Components. The ramifications of this change are significant: Components now stack up to 1000, freeing up storage space previously taken up by countless variations of the same Components; Crafting no longer requires you to place items in the UI. Crafting materials are now automatically grabbed from your inventory, personal stash and transfer stash, in that order; With the discrepancy of Completion Bonuses removed, we can more accurately account for player power and balance the game accordingly; We can add more Components in future content without feeling like they are going to take up obscene amounts of player storage. Many Components have been buffed in light of this change.

• Blade Spirit: now cast at target point rather than thrown with a projectile, resulting in better response time from when cast to appearing
