Editing Guide:Factions and Vaults (section)

== Hardcore has a personal alternative ==

Hardcore cannot join a faction, but has a <strong>solo [[Vault]]</strong> for its own stepped loot and [[Boss]] benefits. It is funded by the profile's resources and has its own capacity and boost controls. It does not allow a group of players to pool value into a Hardcore account.

Treat solo deposits and ongoing drain with the same care as faction spending. [[Research]] can route [[Mint]] income to that personal Vault. Main and Ironman use real factions instead of this solo surface.

A Hardcore Vault has its own FP balance, capacity, deposit controls and boosts. Its multipliers reset if FP reaches zero. This is the personal alternative described in the chapter, rather than a faction shared with other players.]]
