'''Advanced Difficulty''' (or ''''Hard Mode'''') is a system that was introduced in [[Issue 27 Page 3]] alongside the [[Dr. Aeon Strike Force]], as a means to introduce optional increased challenges into Task Forces. While originally limited to the Dr. Aeon Strike Force, the system was rolled out to the [[Imperious Task Force]] in [[Issue 27 Page 4]]. While individual Task Forces and Strike Forces with the system have a general set of modifiers, they also have unique individual changes that are affected by the Difficulty Options. Advanced Difficulty is currently the best source of [[Prismatic Aether Particle Salvage]].
'''Advanced Mode''' (or ''''Hard Mode'''' , formerly ''''Advanced Difficulty'''') is a system that was introduced in [[Issue 27 Page 3]] alongside the [[Dr. Aeon Strike Force]], as a means to introduce optional increased challenges into Task Forces.

Summary

Advanced Mode (or 'Hard Mode' , formerly 'Advanced Difficulty') is a system that was introduced in Issue 27 Page 3 alongside the Dr. Aeon Strike Force, as a means to introduce optional increased challenges into Task Forces. While originally limited to the Dr. Aeon Strike Force, the system was rolled out to the Imperious Task Force in Issue 27 Page 4 and The Lady Grey Task Force in Issue 27 Page 7. While individual Task Forces and Strike Forces with the system have a general set of modifiers, they also have unique individual changes that are affected by the Difficulty Options. Advanced Mode can provide a major source of Prismatic Aether.

Task Forces

The following Task Forces currently have access to Advanced Mode:

Prismatic Aether

Prismatic Aether is a form of Special Salvage primarily obtained through Advanced Difficulty settings - though also available via Incarnate Trials and the Weekly Strike Target in much smaller amounts, or in exchange for Monstrous Aether. This salvage can be traded or used to purchase permanent costume powers to make a character look like NPC enemies from various factions.

Prismatic Aether payouts in Advanced Difficulty Task Forces work on a four-tiered drop system, where there are four difficulty level rewards each with their own 18-hour drop lockouts. Completing content on Advanced Difficulty rewards the maximum value of the difficulty minus any completions of lower values from the character on the same day.
