[[Hardcore Mode]], or '''Hardcore Death Penalty''', is an option available for players seeking an additional challenge. To turn on or turn off [[Hardcore Mode]], find the signpost next to the well in the town of [[Serbule Keep]]. While [[Hardcore Mode]] is active, characters will begin to accumulate XP in the [[Hardcore Living]] skill.
=== Hardcore Death Penalty ===
When death occurs to a character in [[Hardcore Mode]], in addition to being presented with the Respawn options that character has unlocked, some items in the inventory of that character will be marked as broken. Broken items will not be usable until fixed, and are marked in the inventory with a red line. Equipment and consumables can both become broken, but Quest items will not break. To repair an item, it must be taken back to the location where it was broken, such as the character's tombstone.
==== Hardcore Interactable Objects ====

==== Hardcore Mode Equipment====

=== Hardcore Guilds ===
Members of [[Guilds]] granted permission to access their Guild settings have access to a setting related to [[Hardcore Mode]] characters. A guild can set membership of [[Hardcore Mode]] characters to ''Allowed, Disallowed,'' or ''Required.''
* If a guild has [[Hardcore Mode]] set to ''Allowed,'' any character (Hardcore or not) can join the guild.
* If a guild has [[Hardcore Mode]] set to ''Disallowed,'' characters will need to turn off [[Hardcore Mode]] before requesting an invite to that guild.
* If a guild has [[Hardcore Mode]] set to ''Required,'' the guild will receive a bonus to earned Guild Credits at the completion of quests.
=== Hardcore Skill Advice ===
All skills can be used while playing in [[Hardcore Mode]], but consideration should be given to the death penalty. If a [[Fire Magic|Fire Mage]] is carrying only one fire staff and it breaks, all of their fire abilities will be disabled.
* [[Shield]] - {{Item|Dream-Keeper's Shield}}
* [[Battle Chemistry]] - {{Item|Beaker of Formless Toxin}}
