When you defeat an event a dice is rolled to see what item you get. Same things happen on hard, only there are added items available to hard only. So when you do hard mode without doing normal you roll one dice for each table. I actually got the glass minuet and aspect of glass on the same Atheon kill. I died a little inside. [quote]You can get double hard mode rewards. Your explanation was a bit off. What happens is the hard mode loot is added, and then you roll 2x from the same loot table. Not once each.[/quote] I can see it actually being this, I wonder if it was intended though. The benefit to running hard without doing normal could be unintended.
