hello all, I left this game for a while and now that i have come back i notice there is a death penalty when you die, I was wondering how you get rid of this penalty?
There are scrolls at the store that you can buy that corresponds to your grade. If you have multiple death penalty levels, you will need one scroll for every level of the death penalty.
i've heard (but not tried) black judge's also remove death penalties... i would guess if you're red it would be easier to visit one of those than finding someone to play errand boy and pick up recovery scrolls for you
it's like 64.5k for black judge at hardin's to remove death penalty by one level.
btw, i was in gludio yesterday watching a guy do the whole, "let me hit this guard routine" I have never seen someone swing so slow in my life. He was walking pretty slow as well. To give you an idea, if you know how slow you move when you have the wrong grade gear on, and you combine it with the slowness when you are at say 98% weight, and then throw yourself into a huge vat of molasses, you would probably still be faster swinging than this guy was. Seriously, his attack speed must have been around 5. I can't imagine how many death penalties you have to havce to swing that slow.
nc described it as a debuff that now occurs when you would normally have dropped an item
so randomly happens at about the rate that you would have dropped an item in earlier chronicles
I took a L36 down to L30 not so long ago and I'd have to estimate the chance of getting this new Death Penalty at about 25%-30%. I would get 3 DP effects per level I lost on average. (~11 deaths per level.)
If the rate at which you receive the death penalty is indeed the exact same as the old 'drop rate on death', then it's obvious why so many people complained about dropping on death. That kind of drop rate is insane considering the average drop % of *mobs*.

not really because when that % hits its a 100% chance to get death penalty
back when you could drop it was a chance that you COULD drop an item
basically some random inventory slot generator kicked in at that stage and selected 1-5 slots from your inventory that you would drop
if you didnt have anything in those slots you wouldnt drop anything
Hm, you mean like if you delevel naked, you get no penalty?
No. If you have nothing on, you still get the penalty.
Example: Today I dropped a char from 33 down to 22. After dying a bit the death penalty was maxed out. (L15) I kept getting the death penalty occurring, it's just that the level of the penalty could not go any higher.
EG
Your Death penalty is now level 1.
Your Death penalty is now level 2.
Your Death penalty is now level 3.
...
...
Your Death penalty is now level 14.
Your Death penalty is now level 15.
Your Death penalty is now level 15.
Your Death penalty is now level 15.
A similar situation would be this under the old system.
You have dropped your Helmet.
You have dropped your Brigandine gaiters.
...
...
You have dropped your Strengthened bow.
[You have nothing more to drop!] (no message)
[You have nothing more to drop!] (no message)
Or just like stripping down and keeping your stuff in the WH. Taking it off just means you can't drop it. It doesn't mean the game doesn't check to see if you would drop it had you been carrying it.
just saying back when you could drop items even if the game decided its time for you to drop it wouldnt guarantee you would
it would then select 1-5 items from your inventory and drop those
nothing in those slots? nothing drops
however if the game decides its time for you to get a death penalty, you get it
