Death and recovery

When you die, choose how to return to Nujelm Safe Haven:

1. Resurrect immediately in Nujelm; remaining items stay on the corpse.
2. Wait 60 seconds and return to Nujelm with the remaining corpse items recovered.
3. Wait for help for up to five minutes; at the end of the wait, return to Nujelm with the remaining corpse items recovered.

Newcomers use the automatic return described in Newcomer and protection.

While the recovery choice or Newcomer countdown is active, the ghost can walk. A ghost within two tiles of a healer can double-click it to request the normal resurrection offer; the healer's range, line of sight, and other conditions still apply.

Bandage resurrection in 0.49.0

Another player can resurrect you by applying bandages to the corpse, not the ghost: each attempt consumes 100 bandages, success or failure, and the ghost must stay within 2 tiles of the corpse until it accepts. At 100 Healing it always works; from 80 Healing and Anatomy the chance starts at 60%. A carved or skeletal corpse cannot be resurrected this way.

Whoever returns through bandages recovers what was still on the corpse: worn equipment is re-equipped and the rest goes to the backpack; whatever does not fit stays on the corpse. The Resurrection spell returns belongings the same way when the ghost accepts within 1 tile of the corpse. When a resurrection returns every belonging — bandages, Resurrection, return with belongings, or Sacrifice — the empty corpse disappears.

In 0.51.0, returning with belongings through the death menu also re-wears equipment, and overflow goes to the bank, with notice. On resurrection you get the death's maximum-durability cost, the pieces that broke, and the pieces close to breaking.

Without a choice, regular players return automatically after five minutes. PvP deaths allow only a return without corpse items; PvM deaths keep the recovery options above. Creatures do not loot items from corpses.

Status: 0.40.0

This flow applies to deaths outside the Arena.
