[[Hardcore Mode]], or '''Hardcore Death Penalty''', is an option available for players seeking an additional challenge. To turn on or turn off [[Hardcore Mode]], find the signpost next to the well in the town of [[Serbule Keep]]. While [[Hardcore Mode]] is active, characters will begin to accumulate XP in the [[Hardcore Living]] skill.
=== Hardcore Death Penalty ===
When death occurs to a character in [[Hardcore Mode]], in addition to being presented with the Respawn options that character has unlocked, some items in the inventory of that character will be marked as broken. Broken items will not be usable until fixed, and are marked in the inventory with a red line. Equipment and consumables can both become broken, but Quest items will not break. To repair an item, it must be taken back to the location where it was broken, such as the character's tombstone.
