Dying refers to when the player reaches 0 health.
Tombstone[]
When a player dies, the player leaves behind a tombstone with the player's name on it.
- The map is marked with skull and bones to indicate the player's last death location, with a notation of the day that the player died.
- No tombstone will appear if the player dies with nothing in their inventory.
- The tombstone contains all of the player equipment and is accessible by anyone who finds it.
- When dying on the way to retrieve the items, the tombstone will stay and the items will not be lost.
- When the original player interacts with the tombstone, all items that are in the tombstone are automatically placed back in the player's inventory if they have enough room for it, otherwise nothing will happen and the player will have to manually transfer the items.
- The tombstone does not expire when the server is closed.
- The tombstone does not expire after a set amount of time. (to confirm).
- Dying in deep waters will spawn a floating tombstone instead.
Experience loss[]
Upon death, the player will lose 5% of their total levels in each skill.
Due to exponential cost of levels this is approximately equal to losing 1/8 of the total experience gained in each skill. For example, spending eight hours grinding the desired skill, death will mean the loss of one hour.
Effects[]
After a death, the effect No skill drain is obtained and will prevent any further loss of experience due to additional deaths. The effect duration is 10 minutes.
After collecting their gravestone, the player gains the effect Corpse Run, which lasts for 50 seconds.
Notes[]
- The tombstone may disappear if a bug occurs
- The skull-and-crossbones icon on the map will not disappear even after the player's items are recovered, permanently marking the death location until the player removes it from their map manually (by right-clicking).
