Quick answer
Treat Hardcore as a mode toggle, not automatically ‘the tier after Nightmare.’
Field checklist
- Treat Hardcore as a mode toggle, not automatically ‘the tier after Nightmare.’
- Confirm extra item rules in the live Reborn client before farming it for loot.
- Do not copy OG death penalties into a Reborn guide as facts.
- Use this page as a verification log until a live run is recorded.
What to avoid
Do not assume that a legacy Dungeon Quest spreadsheet, level gate, class label, or code applies to Dungeon Quest Reborn. If you came here from a Dungeon Quest Reborn wiki search looking for extra loot, start with consistent Nightmare clears first.
