I haven’t played in a few years but I still have most of my gear, especially on hardcore so I’m wondering how much has changed since around 2013? I’m mostly just curious as to how much more risky hardcore is. I’m good on catacombs and abilities and all that I’m mostly just curious how risky 55-mq is now.

Well, you can't eat fish and attack at the same time any more which is a lil more dangerous. Also you cannot eat fish while stunned now.

But the main thing different I'd say is that the mq level increases by 2 for every class you have unlocked.

Lvl 71 on feeder
Lvl 73 on Samurai
Lvl 75 on pally

All the way up to 85 on alchemist.

Which can make things a bit dicey as u go up in levels

Things have definitely gotten a little more sketchy what with the mq change and changes to using fish.

If you have any HC questions feel free to pm me I’m on a lot most days.
