Grim Dawn Grim Misadventures #65 and #66, Build 24 Released

It's been a busy few weeks of traveling for me, so I unfortunately missed the launch of Build 24 for Crate Entertainment's Grim Dawn, as well as installments #65 and #66 of their Grim Misadventures feature. The latter focuses on what was introduced in Build 24 and what to expect from Build 25, so I'll quote from that:

In case you were not paying attention, we just released a major update for Grim Dawn! Build 24 expands on the game's content with the second chapter of Act 3, class balance changes, optimization improvements and the first stage of our Faction System update.

In Build 25, we are going to wrap up the Faction System by introducing all of its rewards (and consequences). Standing prominently at the center of this feature will be the Faction Quartermasters. These special vendors will allow you to preview all of the item rewards offered by a given faction, at all reputation tiers.

When you reach Friendly status with any faction, you will gain access to the first tier of rewards and usually a new quest. This is the perfect time to visit the Faction Quartermaster and see what you have earned, and what is still to come.

Each faction has its own set of customized rewards that will appeal to a variety of different playstyles. You may find that while one faction offers you great armor for your build, another may have the weapons you seek, and still another may have an Augment that suits your playstyle.

To become Revered with a faction will take dedication to their cause and the eradication of their most powerful foes. Should you prove your loyalty though, an impressive achievement, the rewards at Revered are equally impressive. Revered status gains you access to a special quest, the most powerful Augments and Epic quality accessories unique to that faction.
