Conquest hard mode

The question for those on the fence is can you earn 65 keycards on hard mode? That gets you to the first box, which is the same as the top box on normal mode. If yes, then you have much less work to get the same rewards on hard mode. If you have at least one GL, it shouldn't be that hard to get the first box. I just did two battles with SLKR, and it was a cake walk.

Wait. How do we know what the hard mode rewards are?

You can enter Hard Mode and look at the rewards.
Just don't press "Commit" ;)

I think anyone who qualifies and got max rewards from normal should give it a try. Getting the first crate in 2 weeks should be absolutely doable. It's also free/extra so there is not much loss.

I've forgotten the rewards breakdown, is tier 1 crate on hard better than max rewards on normal?

It's the same, which is why it's a good time to gauge your progress.

You can enter the hard side and see the rewards, just don’t press “commit” and you can back out again.

Also check the feats. Hard mode feats are harder.

Rewards as far as gear goes are only 1 box. That is disappointing.

I'm trying hard, GP of 4.4 million, no GL's, I'm expecting to get crate 2 or 3, but we'll see

I like that relic materials can be exchanged for conquest credits.

If you full clear just the first board and get all the event feats you will have 111 keycards, enouh for the tier 2 box.

Btw are the deployable cooling system data discs stacking? what happens if you have two with 15% chance equipped?

I don’t quite share this view that “anyone” should try hard mode (qualify and reaching max reward on normal implied). The data disks were numerous upon reaching sector 4 & 5 and could be a big part of the success for many players in the normal mode. Without these disks some of the players could struggle quite a bit even though they reached max crate in Normal. I don’t want anyone to come back and say, “I tried hard and it is ridiculous and I cannot even earn a crate. Thanks a lot Kyno!” No one knows yet what the tuning will be for the event so it could be a difficult choice for some. That said, I do believe GL owners “should” be fine to try hard.

For those on the fence between Normal & Hard: with 2 weeks to compete in it, maybe wait just a bit (maybe a day) before deciding which mode you want to try. Ask your guildmates, check out some videos from other players etc. I offer this advice because I want the player base to maximize the rewards earned. While this event may be “free,” falling behind on rewards will still be detrimental for you in the long run and your enjoyment of the game will go down from such “failure.”

4m GP and cleared all feats to reach the last crate, I feel very confident saying they will get the first crate, which is equal.

This is one of the few times players have a chance to try this out without as much of a detriment. I stand by my statement.

The first tier will be only slightly harder than the last tier of normal, no reason someone cant make that work, if they did in normal.

Only reason would be if data disks were required for completion in normal for sector 5. They won’t have that to work with in Hard in sector 1.
