![]() Rare items can be any combination of Magic and Rare affixes an item can have a Rare prefix and a Magic suffix, or vice versa. However, the values of each individual bonus will generally not be stronger than those available on Magic items. Unlike Magic items, Rare items can provide more exotic bonuses such as damage to a specific monster archetype or even Auto-Cast item skills. ![]() Rare items are generated less frequently than Magic items, thus the name, but boost more stats. Whenever a Common item rolls at least one affix of rare quality, it becomes a Rare item. Magic items have their names displayed in yellow. Most yellow items boost 2-3 stats, but the values are competitive with other item qualities. These items provide significant bonuses, but only to a few stats. It would have to.Magic items are Common items that have rolled a prefix, a suffix or both of magical quality. The Gruesome Harvest isn’t much for variety the whole track more or less loops the same repetitive march while only slightly weaving in a melody here and there. We’ll go out on a much more western-sounding track. Gradually, this song becomes kind of a heroic action cue that might accompany an alternate universe sheriff. Right out of the gate it slams into your eardrums with a cacophony of percussion, strings, and guitar. If this track is any indication, the Warden isn’t messing around. It’s not a happy-go-lucky fun track to listen to, but it does spark the imagination in interesting ways, which is why I included it. This track sounds like a funeral march through a mostly deserted locale, providing sinister ambiance that pushes the listener further and further into the shadows. ![]() The electric guitar even seems like it’s rocking out every so often there! Obvious effort went into making this piece something more noteworthy than your average evil blatting horns track, and I appreciate that. Maybe the infernal depths have some nice cushions and a Saturday spa?ĭark and urgent, Fire and Steel delivers a terrific little action track that is perfect for this gothic horror setting. You might think you are in for some hellacious cues, but instead you get a rather pleasant (if slightly sad) and relaxing track. ![]() The name of this track is downright misleading. This one sounds a lot like a high noon showdown, ratcheting up the tension with each minute until something breaks. I was hoping that the western elements would be more prominent in the soundtrack, but I had to settle for only the occasional steel guitar riffs of Forgotten and a few other tracks. It doesn’t take a stretch of the imagination to grasp that Grim Dawn’s OST is a mixture of horror and western. We totally need to listen to that eldritch monster-summoning rock! Why not dig into this one and see what it has to offer? Maybe because some music… is best left buried. So far the title has received two expansions (2018’s Ashes of Malmouth and 2019’s Forgotten Gods) and pumped out a fair bit of music. It has done fine, but not stellar, for itself, cultivating a click-happy community that would rather play this than Diablo. Grim Dawn came out in February 2016 as an action RPG with multiplayer elements. Grim Dawn’s score has been lurking in my “to listen” folder for a while now and was the lucky recipient of my “eenie meenie miney moe” selection process. While I might be too late for 2019’s Halloween season, I think I can safely get a jump on 2020’s fright fest with a look at Grim Dawn.
