How does hard mode work?

Question

From what I heard, flashpoints have a "hard mode".

How do I activate it? How much harder is it? Do all flashpoints have it? Are there other differences between normal mode and hard mode I should know about?

Answer

Hard Modes are more challenging versions of the original Flashpoints reserved for level 50 players. All the mobs and bosses are raised to level 50 and drop loot appropriate for their difficulty.

The following six flashpoints are available for hard mode:

  • Black Talon
  • The Foundry
  • Boarding Party
  • The False Emperor
  • The Battle of Ilum
  • Directive 7

In order to do the hard mode, you must have completed the normal mode version of the "Flashpoint Quest", dispensed from the an NPC just outside the flashpoint. After talking to that NPC again, at level 50 and after completing the normal quest, he will offer you the hard mode version of the quest instead.
