Hi mate if you play the recycle vessel is not fine and fast? It's an answer 

[BKnocheese]

So I've heard conflicting things about farming rare materials and having item drop rate increases. Should you have those words equipped or not?

I didn't test out the recycle vessel but if it's faster that would be good ideal

A couple people have told me that if you place it on a harder difficulty it will make farming materials easier but I didn't confirm it

There's plenty of conflicting anecdata out there regarding the effects that both drop rate up words and difficulty have on actually obtaining rare materials, and as far as I'm aware none of it is backed up with hard numbers either way. Personally, I had good luck in both the original and remaster by playing on normal or hard with my highest % drop rate word, but again, no hard numbers to back anything up. Plenty of people seem to feel differently, so you might as well go with whatever feels "right" to you.
