ASCENSION REFINEDย ๐ก๏ธ
Vanilla progression. Cleaner loot. Better vendors. More rewarding exploration.
Ascension Refined is a Vanilla+ mod for players who want Grim Dawn to stay close to the original experience, but with cleaner loot, better merchants and slightly more rewarding farming and exploration.
Ascension Refined is a Vanilla+ variation of my main project, https://www.nexusmods.com/grimdawn/mods/280ย created for players who wanted an experience closer to vanilla Grim Dawn.
It keeps the cleaner loot philosophy and improved merchant system, but uses vanilla progression and much more conservative loot increases.
