Yes, it could be adjusted. In its current state the hard mode only activates the toughest level/xp-based versions of encounters that have already existed. This requires adding stuff that wasn't there in the first place which wasn't within the scope of that particular feature initially. Not that this particular change is hard, of course, and therefore could be implemented.

Yes, i noticed that you were following the approach of taking toughest encounters below 2.35M XP for chapter 3.

Another one:
Simplified Economy: I was struggling a bit to find gems for certain vanilla upgrades (Silver Horn of Valhalla: Diamond) and EE quests (Neera Talisman of Hearthfire: 2xDiamond+Silver Necklace).
Is there a merchant selling that stuff?
