Why can we use Mr. Store equipment during hardcore ascensions?
We don’t want to make it so playing hardcore prevents you from getting the item of the month, if you’re a collector, but we don’t want to give donators an unfair advantage in hardcore. Q: How does the skill retention work in hardcore ascensions? The same as during normal ascensions, except that you only get to keep skills you’ve made permanent during prior hardcore ascensions. Q: Can I still win radio contests or get birthday presents, etc., during a hardcore ascension? A: While you’re in hardcore (or ronin), people will be able to send you items using the Gift Shop in Market Square. The presents will go into your inventory, but you won’t be able to open them until you’re out of hardcore (or ronin). Q: What’s up with the zodiac signs?
