Death of the Avatar[edit]
When the Avatar's Health Points reach zero, the avatar will "die" and the following visual cues will appear in the game window:
- The Avatar turns into a ghost.
- Colors will become grey.
- NPCs, other players, and creatures in the environment will appear as balls of light.
- A "Time to Resurrect" timer appears at the bottom of the screen (the timer starts at 300 seconds and counts down).
- The location of resurrection devices (Resurrection Ankh and Resurrection Chaos) will appear on the compass - the closer you are to a resurrection device, the larger and brighter it will appear on the compass. You can use the compass markers to help you navigate to the closest resurrection device.
There is no penalty for dying. If you are resurrected by a Resurrection Ankh, Resurrection Chaos, or Resurrection spell before the resurrection timer runs out, then you suffer no negative effects. However, if you let the resurrection timer expire or if you leave the scene while dead, your will suffer penalties (see below).
As a ghost, you can continue to move through the environment, but you cannot interact with anything.
Resurrection[edit]
If you have died, there are 3 ways in which you can be resurrected.
- Another player casts the Resurrection spell on you - you will be resurrected at the location that you died. There is no penalty for being resurrected this way, but you are resurrected with low health and low focus.
- You use a resurrection device (Resurrection Ankh or Resurrection Chaos) - to resurrect, you simply move very close to the resurrection device and wait. For a resurrection ankh, you will be resurrected at the ankh's location. For a resurrection chaos, you will be resurrected at a random location in the scene. There is no penalty for being resurrected this way, and you are restored to full health and full focus when resurrected. Dying repeatedly over a short time increases the time it takes for an Ankh or Chaos to resurrect you.
- Automatic resurrection - this occurs when you let the resurrection timer reach zero or when you leave the scene while dead. Automatic resurrection will penalize you with a 5% durability loss on all equipped items and a 2 minute reduction in Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence. If you let the resurrection timer run out, then you will be resurrected at the entrance to the scene. If you leave the scene while dead, you will be resurrected in the scene that you exited to.
| Resurrection Occurs by: | Location Where Resurrected | Health & Focus When Resurrected | Penalty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Resurrection Spell | Where the Avatar Died | Low Health, Low Focus | None |
| Resurrection Ankh | At the Ankh | Full Health, Full Focus | None |
| Resurrection Chaos | Random Location in the Scene | Full Health, Full Focus | None |
| Resurrection Timer Expires | Entrance to the Scene | Low Health, Low Focus | 5% durability loss on all equipped items, and 2 minute reduction in Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence |
| Leaving the Scene while Dead | Scene You Exited to | Low Health, Low Focus | 5% durability loss on all equipped items, and 2 minute reduction in Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence |
