Death

Repercussions of Death

So you died... That's ok! Unless you're a Hardcore character... In Tales of Yore you have ONE free Grace Death per screen. This means if you have not died in that map before, when you die the loss will be protected that first time.

After the first death, you will lose any items and gold you have on you. (See RISK)

Randomly you can get lucky and not lose anything, being rewarded with a pop-up that says, "The Gods Have Smiled Upon You". Over 100 deaths I have seen this message less than 5 times, so do not rely upon this being an option outside of your first death on a map.

How to Cheat Death

First thing I always suggest is bringing Town Portal Scrolls with you when entering dungeons. Please Note - These scrolls only work when INSIDE a dungeon, houses and castles don't count.

Also... this is something I like to tell people who have not yet realized, but every healing item and spell has its own cooldown... This means if you have separate healing items on each slot of your hotbar you can effectively heal much quicker than holding down one button.

At the creation of this page I will note there are 3 Healing potions - Lesser, Medium, and Large and there are 4 healing spells - Minor Heal, Heal, Greater Heal, and Healing Aura which is intended for AoE healing and has a slow cooldown. With the knowledge that you can hotkey each heal individually, you can also toss some mana potions onto the hotbar and keep spamming healing spells with your healing potions. You need two hands to heal in this method, and you will have a tough time changing targets, BUT your auto-retaliate will do the work as you are taking damage. Potion Spam, Heal Spam, do everything you need to stay alive.
