Grim Dawn's Dismantling System. Is it worth it?

[@MikeFic]

Partial components were removed from the game FYI as on patch 1.1.6. So the component yield should be much higher now.

[@WhatWillYouFind]

Time to upload another video doing the exact same thing ;)

[@jordan7049]

i really rarely comment on any kind of YT videos, but your videos are just so informative, they´re so relaxing to watch, i could describe way more what i feel while watching it, but that doesn´t matter. it´s just so nice to see someone having such a heart for a game that deserves much more attention. keep up the good work, i´d love to see more videos of you.

[@MikeFic]

Thanks man I try my best.

[@j.b.7813]

Interesting to see that somebody has actually made some tests about that. Even before that i knew from few tries that legendaries are the best for dismantling but didn't know how much better they are compare to the rest of the items. There is one thing that i want to add. When you have access to high level areas (crusible + SR) you can farm high quality items but almost no materials. If you want to dismantle items you need dynamites. The easiest way to obtain dynamite is to craft it. To craft dynamite you need shards + scavenged plating (and one other component which is very common). Shards are easy to craft (3 crystals). If you go to warden lab for a 50 seconds or less you can farm at least 13 crystals (easy to do). Scavenged plating is also not hard to find if you are running dungeons and take your time to open every chest on the road. However all those actions take time which can be used to farm more legendaries instead of materials to craft dynamites to dismantle legendaries. Meanwhile you inventory space is a complete mess of different items which you think that you might use but they just rot in there... taking space... if you have any. Of course the option for trade is there but i feel that between gathering legendaies and then materials and sorting items i lose a lot of time. What i mean is that at some point you will have enough materials to craft things and you don't actually need a 1009240392 pieces of a particular rare material nor you will want to waste more time in farming materials to craft dynamite while you can just get a few more SR or Crucibles for more items. The situation is a bit different if you go and farm dungeons as you can obtain scavenged plating easier there and in one of them you can farm crystals too. Overall when i draw the line i spend more time crafting, breaking or sorting items then fighting monsters and sometimes i feel that i just want to sell all common legenaries in some of the in game vendors instead of doing all the other work.

[@Diego-tz7si]

The main reason I actually dismantle epics and legendaries is loss aversion: I know that, if I sell a purple or a blue that I have extra copies of, I dont get many more iron bits than from selling a green, and I lack enough storage capacity to keep all of them, so I dismantle them to avoid the feeling that Im losing an ancient heart or worse every time I take 3000 meager iron bits for selling a legendary. But if Im honest, if the storage system wasnt as much of an annoying clusterfuck I probably wouldnt dismantle, just store them up to gather dust just because of how annyoing it is to blow them up one by one and farm the dynamite for it. I spend a staggering ammount of time curating all of my rares and legendaries per class and wether or not I have too many copies of each; I know there is a mod for this, but running out of storage for items is so common I wish Crate faced it full force instead of letting an outside mod deal with it.

[@genon70]

Nice video well done. I was just thinking about this last night and the video popped up in my recommended section.

[@MikeFic]

Google is listening to your brain.

[@M2Mil7er]

I've recently got back into GD and got my character to the point where he can kill Lokarr on ultimate, and farm to wave 130 on Gladiator Crucible but ended up with so many duplicate epic and legendary items. I've used Grim Internals, but don't any more, but still use Item Assistant. I tend to keep two of each one handed weapon in case I want to to make a dual wield build with them but pretty much everything else I keep the most decent rolled epic and legendary and dismantle everything else.

[@ZacklFair]

Moral: Only Dismantle if you have too much Shards/Dynamite, and only dismantle Legendarys. But this actually helps alot when you first start Hardcore. Every single Crafting Item you get for some useless Item you will never lose is better than the risk of dying while farming.

[@Kaelthas111090]

Thank you for effort and level of information put into your GD videos. I prefer dismantling legendaries rather than selling them though result is random its worth more than a few iron bits vendor offers.

[@MikeFic]

I agree. Ever since making this video I been dismantling more often hah.

[@Kaelthas111090]

@@MikeFic Can I ask you what do you think about loot from superbossses? (Mogdrogen Ravager Calagadra) and what is your favourite and most despised zone or quest? Have a nice day.

[@MikeFic]

@@Kaelthas111090 super bosses at times seem a little drawn out. But many have monster infrequents that can be good depending on the build I'd reckon. And my least favorite zone is port valbury for sure.

[@Kaelthas111090]

I ask because my fights agaist them on elite and ultimate last usually about an hour or so under contatnt threat of permanent death and then I get one helm or shoulder while same time period in SR or even dungeons can benefit me way more at lower risk.I wish they would get some more rewarding stuff to hunt I feel you friend Valbury is good only for achievments that means in my game Anasteria very rarely moves from Fort Ikon to Steelcap :) For me the worst spot is very similar and that is Black Legion honored quest super dumb and done just once in the lifetime only cos of curiosity and achievment. Best zone is Homestead hive I feel like leveling there is very fast + you fight the most villainious villain ever the Gollum :)

[@yurihageshi8008]

@@MikeFic port valbury is insane!

[@shadoectonite6467]

this was vary helpful and as to my 2 cents i wish that is was more consistent so i could dismantle something and get the same thing from that item every time

[@MikeFic]

Interesting. I saw that come up on reddit the other day actually as well. Never tested it.

[@nobedience]

Btw. From which item level you would consider worth using the transmuting system to get a legendary set together?

[@MikeFic]

Any level, permitted you have the items to transmute and money. But if you end up transmuting a level 75 legendary set you might end up replacing it at 94+ anyway with a mythical set just FYI. Also sorry for the late response.

[@nobedience]

@@MikeFic Thanks. I think i will use it only for 94 leveln ones then.

[@slipknotpurity00]

Good info, thanks

[@sigmaraven]

What are the names of the costumes(illusion) you use in the items?

[@ColinPower1]

Always dismantle unneeded legendaries (epics you can sell). You get far more than just selling them. And if you have trouble getting enough dynamite - just plan a route that goes through places that always spawn dynamites/aether shards and you're set.

[@MikeFic]

I think I'm going to make a video soon about hand farming dynamite versus crafting dynamite. Which is more lucrative? But I'm not sure yet. But I agree, if you got the dynamite then dismantling is the way to go.

[@BigPapaMitchell]

@@MikeFic Im finding with high level characters its simpler just to hand craft it. Aether crystals are easy to farm and to turn into shards, and if you usually get enough scrap plate and fire gems to craft the dynamite you need.

[@nickcage5626]

Question dude, in some cases are fotinho full blue better than purple?

[@zulfirdauszain8810]

It can be fixed yeah. But i prefer selling them off at the forun for rare crafting materials or iron bits. As they can be sold more on the forum.

[@Jumbers47]

[@nobedience]

I dismantle most of blues. Only 1 of each kind is stashed for twinks. At one point i did a notice while i was dismantling a bit over 100 blues in one session = around 30 rare materials. Thats worth it. Next patch will alter blues i read.

[@user-yf5de7qo9r]

Great job! Thank you!

[@helmutzemo9041]

Pretty old video. But I think now that you already get completed components it seems pretty Pog - (1.1.6.1)

[@aoetje474]

you check the stuff in game that i dont have time to check myself

[@Savigo.]

Did someone say Thunderfury?

[@banditcountry9374]

thanks for this, i will not dismantle anything unless im 100

[@Valkirth]

"why would anyone waste their time doing that,ok so i went ahead" i lost it by that point and burst out laughing.

[@Turapuru]

TL:DR Just keep the legendaries, you'll usem them in an alt

[@valipunctro]

For the amount of builds that there are you are bound to not use some of the items,and he did it with duplicates.

[@simonhugo4893]

Id totatlly dismantle darlet gnomewhaddasaying?

[@mauricionavarro8224]

excelente video bro ;)

[@LordSatan_6669]

Ty you just saved me a ton of time lol

[@webersilk]

I dont. I sit at around 300 dynamites and aprox 12 mules full of epics and legendaries. I dont use addon or any kind of utility tool to store items. (seperate mule for rings, shoulders, belt..etc) I keep 2 of the best legs of each that i find, the rest i mostly vendor. Money is worth more than the mats i get from this. I rather just play the game more.

[@yurihageshi8008]

Dismantle items to craft pets and other items you need later on? Sure. I would sell all yellow items though.

[@yurikendal4868]

I think so. The regents can yield better items

[@-opus]

Only on my 2nd playthrough, but it seems obvious that dismantling is a waste of time

[@matthuck378]

I don't do it much, because I don't think it's worth it. Ideally, epic and legendary items should always drop something rare and cool when dismantled.

[@yurihageshi8008]

Just scrap alone can produce decent starter gear

[@nobedience]

As long as epics doesnt give me substantially more iron bits, i go for dismantle.

[@mariuszkowalski4901]

Why not dismantle normal items - the white ones;p

[@MikeFic]

Didn't even think to try that haha.

[@doomsday8116]

No offense but id rather trade them for something valuable than wasting dynamites

[@dannymartin8690]

it takes too much dynamite to do it so I would say it's not worth it. :(

[@askme2670]

Doesn't look like it's worth it!

[@pavelkulinich9765]

They should have made this game online. Farming doesn't make any sense here.

[@MikeFic]

I like to farm FOR THE THRILL! But no I totally get it.

[@pavelkulinich9765]

​ MikeFic Yeah, i know man. I've been playing both Titan Quest and Grim Dawn and i really like how a ton of loot is dropped every time. Also i like to see unique items equiped on the some random mobs that are about to drop them. Cool idea. But yeah, the value of the loot is not very high especially taking into account such utilities as Grim Stash (or TQ Vault in TQ). Just the fact that you can get any item for free without spending your time kills the motivation to farm. In all other aspects the game is brilliant though.
