Always hard difficulty?

Just wanted confirmation so we know what to do with the monster templates: it's always hard difficulty?

yes its hard difficulty. All the talents that have the grandmaster mission require you to output at least 1k ap to be able to become a master in your talent and accept the grandmaster sms mission.

In that case, outputting 1k AP for the Master Rank =/= at least 1k total level. I have multiple friends who are under 1k yet have reached Grandmaster, so I removed that bit. o/
