About the change from stress to horror

Farmstead Plus does NOT add horror on top of the stress of the farmstead enemies. It REPLACES the stress of the farmstead enemies with horror, as close as I can get to a 1:1 ratio. So an enemy that gives 15 stress, now gives a 3 over 5 horror. It's still the same amount of stress, just done differently.

The horror also has an 87% chance to apply. This means your heroes have a 13% chance to resist the horror effect, while base game farm stress is set to 100%. Meaning overall you'll be getting less stressed in the long run form the farmstead.

About the loot

The loot in Farmstead Plus scales with difficulty. As in you won't be getting many heirlooms or shards for doing apprentice content. This is due to shard trinkets being extremely powerful, as well as the ability to change shards into any other heirloom.

Shard trinkets do work in farmstead plus dungeons. So does the antiquarian. It isn't as noticeable in apprentice or vet unless you stack a lot of trinkets, but it still works. It will round your shard total from a loot table to the nearest whole number. So you need +30% shards to increase app's 3 shards to 4. For vet and champion, you just need +15% to increase the amount by one shard.

Apprentice dungeon enemies and curios give 3 shards with a chance at 6.
Vet dungeon enemies and curios give 4 shards with a chance at 8.
Champion dungeon enemies and curios give 5 shards with a chance at 10.
