Bonus [[Compassion]] XP will be rewarded to those who bury tombstones, but the bonus experience can only be earned once per hour.{{Quote|source="[[Game updates/2020-03-09]]"|The number of people that need to mourn the tombstone (before it can be buried) depends on several factors, including some randomness. Spammy deaths (such as "Suicide by Poison") can be buried after only a few mourners, whereas unusual deaths require more mourning. Hardcore deaths (by non-suicidal means) require more mourners than non-hardcore deaths. But in any case, hardcore players should remember that their tombstone is just a convenience: you can still repair your items even if the tombstone is gone. Just stand in the general area where your tombstone was and double-click your broken items to repair them.}}

* Most players Players appreciate those who bury corpses!
