About Deadman

Game mode where players play in a full world PvP environment. Deadmen walk, fight in the same world as regular players, but are limited to F2P areas without Wilderness. Players are required to be completely self-sufficient, everyone stands alone. Combat is mostly 1vs1 only, however some multi combat zones are available. Deadmen have various tweaks to their in-game mechanics listed here. To start the game mode, create a new character and speak to the Deadman NPC.

Competitions and prizes

Deadmen can participate in three different unique competitions where they get prizes:

• King of the Hill event in Edgeville - gather most points during a 1 hour event to get perks that help Deadmen in the game for a period. Participants get weekly prizes for best results;
• Competition for best statistics of various in-game objectives 15 different categories in total.;
• Gather activity points for a new cosmetic item - bone crown.

New event: King of the Hill

In an attempt to boost pk action for Deadmen we’ve developed a new event. It will run periodically in Edgeville and winners will get Kings status that provides them helpful perks.

Compete to control the central event area and earn the title of King. Hold your ground, fight off challengers, and earn points.

When you enter the center of the event zone, you'll be placed in the queue to become the King. When you are first in the queue, a counter starts. If you manage to remain in the zone for the required time, you get the title and points. You earn additional points while holding the central square.

Gaining Points:

• Becoming King: +50 points
• Holding the title: +10 points every 10 seconds
• Defeating event participants: +10 points and stolen points
• Stolen points: A percentage of the victim's points (10 to 25%), based on the difference between your points and theirs

Schedule:
The event is not always active and runs based on a schedule every 6 hours or is started on demand by moderators.

Prize:
King status for 4 hours of in-game time. Time runs only while being online. Perks of being king are:

• Always keep one most valuable item on death;
• Decreased bank loss by half;
• Increased Skilling Satchel size by 125;
• Increased coin drops from NPCs;
• Prayer drains slower.

Rules

Deadman mode is hosted with a vision that Deadmen must be self-sufficient, gather their own resources and always risk their own hard work. We have solutions in place that will report suspicious activity to Moderators on Discord. Any rule breaking will be reacted to quickly.

• Owning more than one Deadman character is not allowed;

If you break any of the rules above, all related parties will be banned or at least their banks will be wiped. If someone has multiple characters, staff will make contact and allow picking one character to play on without the ability to transfer wealth. If you want to create a new build, you are free to reset your combat stats with the help of Deadman NPC for free.

Combat restrictions

Deadman mode is based on an idea that players must be self-sufficient, fight alone and keep it real. With every season we are making improvements to make Deadman the mode where you are most likely to get fair fights. Most of the world is single-combat, multi-combat zone is around Barbarian village and in the King of the Hill zone, based on the event settings.

Deadman combat restrictions in single-combat zones are:

• If one person is casting or ranging a player, other players can’t;
• When you leave combat with a player you can’t jump to fight another, or start fighting an NPC;
• NPC’s are not aggressive against players who have recently ran away from a PvP fight;
• When you kill someone you are immune from attacks for 30 seconds, unless you attack first;
• When someone sends a projectile at you, other person can melee attack or do the same only in 10 seconds;

Levels

In the first week of the event maximum combat level is 33, every week it will increase on Saturday 20:00 UTC. Levels will be: 33, 55, 63 and 73.

To help achieve correct stats when training you can use commands to set maximum combat level. Type ::max[skillname] number to set the max level you want, example ::maxdefense 40.

If you’d like to change the build of your account you have two options, both are accessible through Deadman NPC.

• Reduce one combat stat to 1 or nearest rounded number, for example 49 to 40. This costs a Platinum Subscription Card.;
• Reset your combat status fully, this means becoming Combat Level 3 again. The reset affects combat stats only - Attack, Strength, Defence, Hits, Prayer, Ranged and Magic. The reset is done for free.

Experience rate:

• 25x combat experience rate (29X subbed)
• 20X secondary combat rate (24X  Subbed)
• 15X skilling rate (19X subbed)

Subscriber benefits

Skilling with Deadman Satchel

The Deadman Satchel is a unique item designed to enhance gameplay in the Deadman mode by allowing players to remain combat-ready while engaging in skilling activities. It offers the convenience of automatically collecting resources from activities such as mining and woodcutting. However, it's important to note that the satchel contents will be lost upon death, unlike the bank, where only a percentage of items is lost, or the safety deposit box, which provides full protection but has limited capacity.

The primary functionality of the Deadman Satchel can be summarised as follows:

• Collection of Resources: When engaging in activities like mining or woodcutting, the satchel will automatically gather the obtained resources and store them within itself;
• Combat Readiness: Despite focusing on skilling, the satchel allows players to maintain their combat equipment and readiness, ensuring they can quickly transition into combat if needed;
• Limited Capacity: The satchel has a finite capacity to store resources. Once it reaches its maximum capacity, the player will need to visit a bank to deposit the contents before continuing their skilling activities;
• Loss on Death: In the event of the player's death, the contents of the satchel will be lost entirely. This introduces an element of risk, as players must weigh the benefits of using the satchel against the potential loss of accumulated resources upon death.

The Deadman Satchel offers an alternative method for resource collection and combat readiness in Deadman mode, promoting a dynamic and strategic approach to gameplay. Players must carefully manage their satchel's contents, balancing the benefits of resource accumulation with the risk of losing everything upon death.

Satchel can store 125 items in total (not stacks), storage space can be increased by subscribing your character. +125 for Gold Subscription and + 125 for Platinum Subscription.

Visually Satchel has an interface just like a bank, you can organise it, deposit notes to it, withdraw items as notes works only while being inside a bank. Banker NPC can deposit whole satchel content to the bank through dialogue.

If you lose the Satchel, you can get another one from Deadman Npc.

Getting wealth, gear and supplies

Getting gear is not difficult, we have added various shortcuts that help players accumulate wealth quickly as well as all main supplies are available in the store through Deadman NPC in Edgeville and Lumbridge.

Mining ores, chopping trees, fishing gives you 2x the resources, if you have Deadman Satchel in inventory they can be gathered very quickly. Resources that you collect can be sold to shops for some quick gp.

Killing players get you part of their bank, most active and successful PKers can raise funds quickly.

Killing NPC’s gives you coins that go straight into your inventory. The amount of coins depends on the combat level of the NPC and your subscription status.

• No subscription: npc combat level * 9
• Gold subscription: npc combat level * 12
• Gold + Platinum subscription: npc combat level * 15

Death in Deadman Mode

If you haven't taken damage from a player, death is the same as in other game modes.

If you have taken damage from a player:

• You lose a percentage from the 10 most valuable stacks in your bank to the Bank Raid Chest;
• If you die skulled the amount you lose is higher than not skulled;
• If a higher level opponent kills you, you lose a smaller percentage;
• Maximum loss percentage is 30%, minimum is 15%;
• If you die while having a Deadman Satchel, the opponent gets 50% coin value of your satchel contents. If you die to an NPC, Satchel just vanishes.

Bank Raid Keys & Chests

If you manage to kill a player in Deadman Mode, you will receive a Deadman Key. This key will give you access to a chest which contains a percentage of 10 most valuable stacks from the opponent's bank. Bank Raid Chest is located in Edgeville bank.

Deadman Key:

• Received upon killing a player;
• Unlocks bank raid chest;
• Cannot be traded, banked, only destroyed;
• When you kill a player who has got Deadman Keys in his inventory, you will get his keys;
• You can only hold a maximum of five keys at a time, if you have five keys and kill someone, the key will not be dropped.

Safety Deposit Box

Deadmen have an option to keep their most valuable items safe from bank raids using a safety deposit box which can hold up to 10 items, not stacks. The box can be accessed through Bankers.

Skull mechanism

• Skull default time is 15 minutes, maximum skull time 30 minutes;
• Each time you attack a player while you are skulled, your skull timer is reset and your skull time is extended by two minutes.
• If you attack a player 30 or more levels below you, your skull time is set to 30 minutes.
  
• Your skull timer does not tick down if you stand still. You have to be on the move to lose your skull.
• Players who attack you when you are skulled will not get skulled themselves.
• Safe zones have high level guards, which attack skulled players trying to enter it.

Kill-streaks

Each time you kill a player, your kill-streak increases. This is indicated by your skull color changing.
Additionally, the amount of Deadman Keys you hold in your inventory is indicated above the skull by key icons.

Deadman statistics competition

Deadmen can compete for killing the most NPCs of various types as well as compete on statistics from various skilling and player killing activities. To see where you rank in all categories type ::highscore in-game. This season characters can be hidden in the highscores, however this does not affect the listing you can see in-game.
