Respawn points
Non-corrupt players always respawn at the closest active respawn point (to their death).[2]
- Corrupt players respawn at random locations in the vicinity of their death, not at regular spawn points.[3]
- There will not be custom respawn points that can be placed in the world.[4]
- Events in progress may disable certain respawn points in proximity to those events, which might cause players to respawn further away.[2]
- That has to do with the lore behind death and resurrection and what it means to have your soul connected as a conduit of that spark of life given from the Goddess of Creation, being that phoenix type of avatar; and if corruption has moved into an area and an event has started, the access to those ley line oriented respawn points may be obscured- might not be accessible. So that could create some additional distance that needs to be traveled as part of these types of events.[2] – Steven Sharif
Respawn lore
Characters entering into the world of Verra are empowered with the spark of life that comes from the Goddess of Creation. This spark houses a portion of what represents their mortal coil/soul and their conduit to The Essence.[7][6][8][9] When a character dies they disintegrate into ashes, in accordance with the mythology of the cycle of life, death, and rebirth that is associated with the celestial avatar of the Goddess of Creation, the phoenix.[6][8]
- The ash pile conveys the location of the body, so that the character may be selected for resurrection.[6]
- The ash pile is also interractible to allow players to loot any dropped items.[6][8]
- These ash piles are immediately lootable by any player.[8]
- Player flagging is not triggered by looting.[10]
- This effect applies to players and not mobs.[6]
The reason for why respawning occurs, as you guys know, the avatar of the Goddess of Creation is the phoenix; and the phoenix obviously has some very stable mythological lore to it with regards to the cycle of life and death and rebirth; and that type of thing. As you enter into the world of Verra you are in a way empowered with the spark of life that comes from the Goddess of Creation herself, and in that sense you're able to house a portion of what that represents in your soul and your... conduit to the essence.[8] – Steven Sharif
Death penalties
When a player dies they disintegrate into ash. The ashes contain any items lost by the player due to applicable death penalties.[6][8][12][13][14]
- Player flagging is not triggered by looting.[10]
- It might even be the case that their particular bag space doesn't have available location for a three-by-one log; and you're a lumberjack and they see you just chopping down these trees and you're like, there's no point in me engaging with this person, because I have nothing to gain due to my capacity.[17] – Steven Sharif
- There will be a period of time following a player's death before their mule despawns. Other players must kill that player's mule to be able to loot it.[18]
- If the mule dies its corpse will contain the same percentage of lootable items according to the player's death penalties.[18][19]
- Players do not lose gold upon death, no matter their corruption level.[20]
- Glint looted from a dead character by any other player, regardless of affiliation, becomes stolen glint. Character's who loot their own bodies will recover their glint in its non-stolen state.[21][22][8]
