Death & item protection

Death works like real OSRS, everywhere — not just the wilderness. Dying in town, on a road, or to a monster costs you items under the same rules as a PvP death.

What you keep

Untradeables are always kept and don't use up a slot. Check exactly what you'd keep and lose right now — including your total risk value — with ::kod (Items Kept on Death).

Where your items go

• Killed by a player in the wilderness — your loot seals into a loot key owned by your killer.
• Died anywhere else (monsters, roads, bot ambushes outside the wild) — your items drop into a reclaim pile on your death tile that only you can see for ~15 minutes. Get back there and pick your things up. After that grace period the pile turns public for a few minutes, then despawns.

Safe deaths

Some content never drops items on death:

• The Fight Cave wave arena (::arena)
• The Zulrah shrine (::zulrah)
• Instanced content (Wizard Tower runs, raid instances)

Everywhere else, assume full death rules apply — including your unclaimed loot keys, which are always destroyed on death regardless of protection.
