This will be the main page for the Hardcore mode found on Horizon.
What is it
Hardcore mode[1] is a status which you can activate on a new character by speaking to one of the respective NPCs in the starting cities before gaining any levels on any job (see below).
If you die, your character will lose the hardcore status irrevocably and be just a normal character. To play hardcore again, you will have to create a new character.
As long as your hardcore status is active, you will obtain rewards upon reaching certain goals (e.g. certain level thresholds).
How to Activate the Mode
Speak to one of the NPC's in each of the starter cities. May only be activated on a character who hasn't gained any levels on any of their jobs.
- Franklin - Bastok Markets (G-9)
- Francine Tuft - Windurst Woods (H-11)
- Francois - Southern San d'Oria (G-10)
Server Messages
- When a hardcore player dies, the server receives a message that a hardcore player has fallen and their "survival time" is also displayed.
- A message is sent when a player achieves level 75 as a hardcore player. Needs verifying if this is all players or just the first to reach 75 on that particular job.
Rewards
Rewards seem to be purely cosmetical from what was shown in the launch notes[1] (except the Warp Ring). It is yet unknown if there are hidden effects. It is also largely unknown whether or not you keep the items when you lose hardcore status.
