Can you increase the difficulty without losing quest progress?

[JohnJSal]

I changed the difficulty from bronze to silver but I started over (albeit at my current level and with all my gear and combat arts) without any of my quests completed.

Luckily I was able to switch back to bronze and the game remembered my progress, but it seems a little too easy. Is there a way to play on silver without having to start all the quests over?

Thanks.

Each difficulty has its own progress.

[JohnJSal]

Ah shoot. Well, is the progress always retained for each difficulty, even if you save the game later in a different difficulty? In other words, does it ever get replaced or will it always be "there"?

[Lord Fatso]

Yes, each difficulting contains its own progress, and progressing farther in another difficulty has no effect on any of of the others.

Can't wait to try out Niobium. It's gonna be hell.

All Niob mobs I believe are level 120+.
