Hi, I wanted to ask, does the game difficulty influence the quality/rarity of items you can find in the game at the vendors/from visitors/research? I'm wondering, cuz it felt like I found/got better items when I played on expert difficulty but not such good stuff when playing on an easier difficulty. Am I just imagining that, does anyone know, is there any relation between difficulty setting and the items you can find in the game?

Hey QualityQvQ, thanks for reaching out and sincere apologies about the delayed response from our team.

As far as difficulty goes - it does not impact item rarity and there is no difference between the modes, however as far as expeditions go, harder ones will indeed carry greater rewards.

Hope this helps. Should you have any further questions, let us know!
