Id be so scared to lose my gears when I die :( I never liked HC. Is loot in HC more expensive?
the trick with HC is simply to NOT die.. lol.. town and shrine / regen at 50% life is the easiest way.. unless you fish and can build a suitable stack.
the other BIG difference between sc and hc is that on sc (in my observation) its all about speed, and banging out the gp's.. on hc most of the time we take our time and are solo/skilling, as the player base has dwindled. i mean groups still happen, speed climbs in a good group can take maybe an hour.
as for pricing.. for some items; yes pricing is more expensive than sc, but id say for the most part for lower level gear is on par across both cores.
mq daggers, or padded robes are next to impossible to find now on hc as there was an influx of monk RIP's between December and March this year ( my main being one of them)
https://forums.d2jsp.org/user.php?c=3&i=955012&p=484707 ... i mean.. yeah i was upset.. i was whistling solos because i was less than 50% of level away from mq.. and got slammed with an objective that spawned 3x stunners. i couldnt town.. i burned through a lot if not all of my comfreys i had equipped.. it happens.. in total it was valued at about a 25-30k+ fg RIP. Some of the other monk rips had far more valuable gear..
if you come to hardcore it is more of an investment, ...it has taken me years to accumulate and build the sets i have.
