Death

Death in Lands of Arda gives you a choice: wait for help where you fell, or respawn at your bindstone and take an experience and gold penalty based on your level.

What happens when you die

• Nearby party members in the same area are alerted that you need help.
• You get a death popup that shows your exact XP and gold penalty before you choose to respawn, including grace-period and max penalty notes when they apply.
• If you do nothing, you stay dead and can wait for another player to raise you.
• If you respawn, you are resurrected, fully healed, stripped of negative effects, and sent back to your bindstone.
• Logging out while dead does not bypass the death state. The server restores it when you log back in.

Standard respawn penalties

• The base death penalty is 200 XP per level and 1,000 gold per level.
• XP loss is adjusted by your reincarnation tier and capped at 4,000 XP loss total.
• Non-reincarnated characters outside the grace period are capped at 20,000 gold loss total.
• XP loss cannot drop you below the start of your current level.
• Non-reincarnated characters at level 30 or lower use the grace-period values instead.

Bindstones and respawn

• Respawning always sends you to your current bindstone.
• Bindstones also control where you are sent in other relocation cases, such as restricted-area returns after logout or server reset.

Special cases

• Army Unfallen resurrects dead allies in place and applies only the XP portion of the death penalty. It applies the grace-period XP penalty if applicable, otherwise it applies half of the standard XP penalty.
