Hello,
This is more a question to devs or blues, but if any player have accurate info it will be welcome.
We know Ulduar have 10 bosses out of 14 which have a Hard Mode option that offers more loot with above ilvl. Thorim, Hodir, Mimiron or XT002 for example, when you activate their Hard Modes and kill them, you get an additional item with higher ilvl.
But what about Yogg-saron, Freya or Flame Leviathan?
They have different range of difficulty from doing it Easy Mode (no orbs, no adds, 4 keepers) to the real Hard Mode. Is there any difference on loot when you kill Freya with just one of her trees alive or its the same loot as killing her add-free?
I mean, Sartharion had one additional item when you killed it with one drake, two items (one higher ilvl) when you did it with two drakes and the mount when you did it with three drakes.
Flame leviathan have 4 different levels of difficulty, Freya have 3, Yoggsaron have 5. Can someone tell if there is difference between any of their different levels of difficulty?
Thanks in advance for your answers and sorry about the messy grammar, english is not my main language :-P I hope you could understand this post.

Freya has 4 levels of difficulty. (8 if you want to be pedantic :P)
Navlelo - 80 Orc Warrior
Kassy - 80 Tauren Shaman
Teezii - 80 Blood Elf Paladin
+ a few in 70-75 range
And apparently also any trolling alt on ghostlands forums.

From what I've read you only get extra badges for the mid-level hardmodes. Yogg 1 keeper and no keepers both have extra loot.

Slightly related to this threads topic, we wanted to take the opportunity to let you know that we have implemented a hotfix to several of the hard mode loot tables in order to spread around Algalon's weapon drops. Algalon still has loot that is unique to him, but we wanted to make obtaining Ulduar weapons more accessible and ultimately more fair to certain classes/builds.

I`m not shure about this and I hope someone will tell me i`m wrong.
but from wat i heard only the Real hard mode drops extra loot.
I`ll take flame Laviatan for an easy eg.
1 tower gives an extra Emblem.
2 towers gives and extra Runed Orb
3 towers gives and extra Emblem and an extra runed orb
4 towers gives and extra loot drop
Lagendry Fragments are NOT 100% drop from hard modes.
so with 4 towers you get a total of 4 Emblems 2 runed orbs and 4 purplz.
Again this is from what i heard and i`m posting it here in hope someone will confim it or tell me its wrong.

We got 3 Emblems and 3 Orbs from 3 towers this week.

10 man atleast
1 tower = conquest badges
2 towers = a runed orb
havent done it yet but i would guess 3 towers = extra badge and or orb
taking the total to 2/2 compared to the 3/3 from 25

Does the other fights with 4-5 grades of difficulty have the same or similar additional drops as Flame Leviathan?
Btw, talking about Valanyr fragments, iirc there was a higher chance to drop in hard modes. Something like 25% when a regular mode has like 5-10% or something like that.

Q u o t e:
Except there's 16 total.
Normal and Heroic.
Beat that.
32 even, you can also go for the getting back to nature one (although that does not give extra loot, but it still is harder). and if you add in the con-speed-atory, you have 64 hardmodes.
if you add in the one for the ulduar immortal/undying (don't know how it is called) you get 128 hard modes.
but that is way sidetracking. 16 hardmodes (or 8 per difficulty) is more than enough.
minimum required for heroic tanking: 535 DEF, 22K HP, 20K AC, 40% avoiding
minimum required for heroic healing: 1500 SP, 13K MP
minimum required for heroic dps: doing more dps than the tank
