Hello all - glad to be part of the group. Couple of quick questions.

1. I only play Hardcore - is there a reason why I shouldn't? I won't play SC so hoping this mod is HC friendly.
2. I noticed you can observe other players to level up quickly. That said, I see no players on HC. If I cannot observe, what is the quickest way to level?
3. What is the easiest and most efficient char for farming? If this is my first char.
4. Is there a noob friendly guide that explains different areas, items, etc..?

Thanks all and I may have more questions later .
