RK9. Hardmode vs Extrememode drops. Same, or is Extrememode better.

Outside of events, does extreme mode have "better" drops ?

'Better' can mean, better chances at getting mask,
maybe 'better' is 'more drops',
or 'higher percentage at dropping better materials'.

  • dunno, never seen a mask from either and EM is basically the same as HM i think, just that he does the DPS check barrier less often in EM and has a timer instead

    Iirc EM also has the reversed mechanic

  • Back in the day, elemental essence was a rare drop. Highly sought after. RKE was known to be the best place to get it.

    While RKH still dropped the essences, RKE always dropped more. This was also true for some of the other things that RKE dropped -AT THAT TIME-.

    now fast forward to today, does RKE still have better drops ? few people care about what RKE drops nowadays because most have moved on to other dungeons.

    So we're left with two things,
    one is anecdotal evidence,like the one offered by 39HATFDXLY, and anecdotal evidence by me. ( "yes ive seen more masks drop in RKE")

    And the other is the fact that, yes, at one point in tera history, it did drop more things.

    Personally, i think after you've gotten the mechanics down, RKE is just as easy or easier than RKH, and i would rather do RKE.
    If the drops percentage changed, you don't lose out,
    if it has not changed and RKE does drop more things, you win.
