Death / Rez mechanics

A related, but different question I've been wondering; is the amount of XP returned by a rez tied to the particular death, or does it just undo the latest death?

That's an interesting question. I'd like to know the answer as well. Though, I suppose it's unlikely I will ever be in the position for it to matter...

Dying the level after a hell level results in a loss of 10% of the xp required for the preceding hell level ... twice as painful as dying under normal circumstances.

Ie the penalty for dyin at 55 (54 is a double hell) is close to twice the penalty of dying at 56.

Though it is generally recommended to avoid dying (/chortle), it’s doubly important to not die in the following levels:

31
36
41
46
55
60 (early before at least 18-19% buffer).

All levels 51-60 are “hell” with 54/59 being doubles. Other than levels 51+, I never went out of my way to look for a rez unless I died in one of the above levels.

Loot everything. /loadskin [uiname]

Will reload UI and stand you up, leaving an empty corpse on the ground.

I found out by accident that if you loot your last item (empty corpse) and /q vs force a LD that you come back with an empty corpse that you can still rez.

It doesn't matter. Ressurection only undo's the last death that happened and you get equal experience back from a "level 60 corpse" at 45 as you do from the 45 one.

I was rezzing a dude caugt in a death loop and the first thing I rezzed was his corpse with items (level 60), and he didn't magically level to 53 from 49 by rezzing that.

So the sequence is not important. For each death in a certain level you get back the exp you'd lose in that particular level. -the exp penalty from ressurection (96%, 93%, 90%, 50%, 0%), from any corpse you have.

That's useful! I knew about /q'ing out, but didn't know /loadskin worked also. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
