It stays the same, or atleast it looks to me that it does.
The advantage of hunting in HM is that the drops are better( Other drops) And you can get tomes.

Like miskav said.^^

If at all possible, it's more advantageous to farm greens in HM, for an extra chance at tomes and FoW/UW scrolls.

Though, For some builds it's way more challenging to do Runs in HM.
For those builds (If you're going for a green) I suggest doing it on NM, you'll have it sooner that way.

As far as i know its a 10% drop chance, the mode doesn't matter.

but hm has the added benifit of extra scrolls and elite tomes

According to wiki there is a higher percentage of acquiring a green item in Hard Mode.

I think this may be an example of idiots-editting-the-wiki. See the incredulous comment on the talk page. I've certainly not had any better luck with greens in HM than NM.

I'm 100% sure that 90% of all statistics are made up. They are same %age *chance* to drop in HM as in NM, but... there's more drops usually, so potentially higher # of rolls to get the green if that's how it works....

I do think you guys are correct. I've farmed alot of greens and never noticed a difference in the HM vs NM drop rate. I have heard alot of people ask this question before and when I checked wiki and saw that I was pretty suprised so I just posted the link without comment. I thought Gaile even stated one time there wasn't any difference with in reference to unique drops and the HM vs NM, but I can't find any reference to it...

I'm going to tip the scales further by saying that I'm very sure the drop rates don't change.
