Death Penalties
Temporarily for balance testing, you do not lose XP on respawning, and only lose half of your seeds (This will most likely change).
Although death is not permanent for the Risen, it can be punishing, particularly for characters of high level.
There are no penalties to dying and then being raised, but if you choose to respawn at the Well, the following penalties apply:
- Loss of all Forging Seeds in your inventory (Currently only half).
- An XP debt proportional to your level based on the table below (Currently none).
| Level | XP Debt |
|---|---|
| 1-2 | 0 |
| 3 | 1% of total XP |
| 4 | 5% of total XP |
| 5 | 10% of total XP |
| 6 | 15% of total XP |
| 7 | 20% of total XP |
| 8 | 25% of total XP |
| 9 | 30% of total XP |
| 10 | 35% of total XP |
XP Debt
XP debt won't ever cause your character to delevel, but must be worked off before you can gain XP again from creatures or Scars.
Any XP normally gained from creatures or Scars goes to repaying your debt first. For example, if you have 100XP debt, and you earn 150XP from completing a Scar, you would cancel your debt and gain 50XP.
In addition, any XP lost from either the Painter or through an Orb will also reduce your debt by the same amount. For example, if you give the Painter 400XP, they will give you 100 gold and reduce any XP debt by 400 as well.
