Hard Mode: This is the second mode and the first to be unlocked. In this mode, each level up, you receive 7 stat points and 4 skill points. You can experiment more ly with your build in this mode. Many players in Shaiya stop at this mode, as they are stronger than NM, but do not have the death penalty like UM. While stronger than NM, this mode requires more experience for each level (Shaiya gold). At the low levels, you need about 2.5x more exp; this amount grows to approximately 5x more exp at the higher levels. Also, with unlocking HM, you also unlock a few more skills and can also equip Legend armor and weapons.
Ultimate Mode: Upon reaching level 40 in HM, you have successfully unlocked the highest mode of the game. This mode allows for the strongest characters, aside from one fatal flaw: once you die, you have 180 seconds to be ressed or that toon is deleted.
This is not always the case though. There are 4 ways to prevent the deletion of your toon. For this mode, you receive 9 stat points and 5 skill points each time you level. Certain skills will now become unlocked, such as the coveted level 60 UM skill. A player with this mode can now don Goddess armor and use Goddess weapons.
