1.23a Patch Notes!!!

[Orophin]

It says the former will not give an reward after you beat it once, this is why i asked is because the former fight they mentioned is the hard mode.

* Completing the sidequest "Living on a Prayer" unlocks both "Rivenroad" and "Rivenroad (Hard)" repeatable battles. Please note, however, that no further reward will be issued for completing the former.

Former would mean the first, meaning "Rivenroad".

The new hildebrand theme is awesome. Curious about Atomos, I'm gonna grab the quest ASAP!

Former is the one mentioned beforehand. Latter for be the latest mentioned. So Former is not hard mode.

I'm going to relate this fight with the Ark Angels.

Want to proceed in the storyline? Complete the easy version. You will still move forward, but you will get no reward.

Want to proceed in the storyline AND be rewarded? Complete the hard version. You will move forward and get an awesome reward.

I'm guessing hardmode reward will be the earring. If I'm understanding its stats right, it gives a small auto-refresh/regen, which is pretty cool.
