Hardcore

This page is in need of content. Needs more content on what hardcore is (not strategy).

Hardcore is a play style that limits the interactions a player has with other players and items that is available as a choice after the first time the player ascends.

A hardcore player is limited in the following ways:

• Unable to receive clan buffs, meat from the Meat Tree, adventures from the Calendar of Loathing, and taken items out of the clan stash
• Unable to receive buffs from other players
• Unable to buy items at The Mall of Loathing
• Unable to buy or sell items at The Flea Market
• Unable to receive items via kmail other than as a gift package that can only be opened after completing the hardcore run.
• Unable to use skills that have been gained through softcore ascensions

Upon completion of a hardcore ascension, the player receives a number of bonuses that are either increased or not given to a player who has completed a softcore ascension (see Letter from King Ralph XI for the list).
