The Angel of Death
</div>
RuneScape isn't all rolling pastures and cosy woods, as Lumbridge might have you believe: there are dungeons with streams of magma, tall peaks populated by wolves, the vampyre-ruled lands of Morytania, the Wilderness, and many more dangers besides. On your journeys around these lands it is likely that your character will be slain - probably many times!
<br><br>
This isn't something to be too afraid of, as your character will always 'respawn' in perfect health (although probably missing a few items; more on that later).
<br><br>
If you are a relative newcomer to RuneScape, you will visit the home of the Grim Reaper when you die. This is nothing to worry about: The Big GR is surprisingly friendly and will give you pointers about dying and what to expect when it happens. At all other times, when your character dies, you will respawn in the grounds of Lumbridge Castle. By completing quests, members will be able to move their respawn location to somewhere more convenient, depending on their needs.
<br><br>
<ul><li>To respawn in <a href="falador.html">Falador</a>, complete the <a href="recruitment_drive_members.html">Recruitment Drive</a> quest.<br>
<li>To respawn in <a href="seers_village_members.html">Camelot</a>, complete the <a href="kings_ransom_members.html">King's Ransom</a> quest.
<li>To respawn at <a href="soul_wars.html">Soul Wars</a>, complete the <a href="nomads_requiem_members.html">Nomad's Requiem</a> quest.
</ul>
<br><br><a name="Will_I_lose_my_items"></a><br class="clear">
<div class="headings">
<span class="headertitleleft"><span class="headertitleright">Will I lose my items?</span></span>
</div>
<br>
Normally, when your character dies, you are only allowed to retain your three most valuable items. Be aware that an item's value is decided by the game, not the market value. Any other items you are carrying will drop on the ground where you died.
<br><br>
To find out which items you will keep, you can look at your 'Items kept on death' interface. Read the <a href="controls_inventory.html">Controls - Inventory</a> article to find out more about this feature.
<br><br>
Any items you drop when you die will be invisible to other players, protected by a gravestone (see below) for a certain amount of time.
<br><br>
<table align="center" style="text-align: center">
<tr>
<td width="100" style="vertical-align: top">
<div class="imgcentre" style="width:55px;">
<div class="centrecontainer">
<img src="../../img/main/kbase/menu_icons/abyss_skull.gif" alt=""/ width=45 height=36>
<br/>
</div>
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
<br>Abyss/PK skull</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br>
There are exceptions to keeping three items that you should be aware of: being 'skulled' when you enter <a href="the_abyss.html">the Abyss</a>, or being 'skulled' when you log in to a <a href="pvp_worlds.html">PvP or Bounty world</a>. In the case of the Abyss and PvP or Bounty Worlds, you will lose <b>ALL</b> of your items. In the case of a +1 item Bounty World (check the <a href="themed_worlds.html">Themed Worlds</a> page to find a comprehensive list of these worlds) you will keep your highest value item when you die.
<br><br>
If your <a href="prayer.html">Prayer</a> level is high enough, you will be able to use the 'Protect Item' prayer to hold onto one extra item when you die. So, if you die normally, you will be able to retain four items, and if you were skulled by the Abyss, you will hold onto one item. <b>You will not be able to use the 'Protect Item' prayer in any PvP or Bounty Worlds.</b>
<br><br><a name="Can_I_get_my_items_back"></a><br class="clear">
<div class="headings">
<span class="headertitleleft"><span class="headertitleright">Can I get my items back?</span></span>
</div>
<br>
<img class="imgleft" src="../../img/main/kbase/getting_started/death/map_icon.gif">There is a chance that you can, as long as you're quick or have friends near where you were slain. Unless you were killed by another player on a PvP or Bounty World, when you die and drop items a gravestone will appear at the spot you died, guarding your possessions and acting as a warning to others. This gravestone will remain in place for between three and six minutes (depending on your gravestone - see below). A timer will appear in the game window letting you know how long your gravestone has left, and the icon to the left will appear on the world map (as long as you have the 'You are here' marker visible) to let you know where your gravestone is. Please note that if you died in an area for which there isn't a map (like the Underground Pass), you obviously won't be able to see it on the map, but your gravestone will be there and the timer will count down as normal.
<br><br>
If you die in a special area, such as certain times in quests, your gravestone will appear next to the entrance to that area, giving you a chance to collect your items without having to worry about being killed again.
<br><br>
As your time runs out, your gravestone will begin to crumble. A friendly player can fix up your gravestone by right-clicking and selecting 'Repair'. They need to have a Prayer level of 2, and this will hold your gravestone in place for another five minutes at a cost of about 5 Prayer points. If the player repairing your gravestone has less than 5 Prayer points, it will not remain as long.
<br><br>
<img class="imgleft" src="../../img/main/kbase/getting_started/death/bless_options1.gif">
Alternatively, a player may choose to 'Bless' your gravestone, imbuing it with the strength of their faith to keep it in place for up to an hour. This requires a Prayer level of 70 and will cost the player blessing it as many Prayer points as it requires. This will never take their Prayer points below 10 (just in case they need them!).
<br><br>
The length of time your gravestone remains in place depends on how many Prayer points the player blessing your gravestone has available and how long it has been since you died. <b>Note</b> that, regardless of when the gravestone was blessed, it will crumble to dust one hour after you died. It will also collapse if you die again and drop more items, although your items may remain available for a while longer if your gravestone has been repaired or blessed recently. If you lose your connection or log out, your gravestone will continue to count down.
<br><br>
To make it easier to get to your items when you return, you (and only you!) can right-click on your gravestone and select 'Demolish'. This won't make your items vanish immediately, so you should still be able to pick them up before they despawn.

<div class="headings">
<span class="headertitleleft"><span class="headertitleright">Upgrading your gravestone</span></span>
</div>
<br>
To change your gravestone you'll first need to complete <a href="the_restless_ghost.html">The Restless Ghost</a>. If you've done that, you can speak to Father Aereck in Lumbridge Church and offer a small donation to one of his charities for the following options; the more expensive gravestones will protect your items for longer before collapsing, as you can see in the 'Duration' column.
<br><br>
Note that the type of gravestone you have will not increase the length of time repairing or blessing it holds it in place.
<br><br>
You will retain your gravestone style until you buy a new one.

<br>
Yes! Your gravestone will look the same even when playing on a free world. Because many people there will not have access to the same range of styles, you'll be able to spot your gravestone even more easily in an area littered with the bodies of the slain.
