After __NOTOC__=== Tombstone Mechanics ===[[Tombstone]]s are grave markers that appear when a player revivescharacter dies in combat, from wounds, illness, stupidity, curses, their or unexpected effects. A tombstone will be marked with the character's name and cause of death. Characters may have many Tombstones appear in the world at the same time.==== Graveyards ====A collection of three or more [[Tombstone]]s in close proximity is considered a graveyard for the purpose of [[Necromancy]].* Some practitioners of [[Necromancy]] carry around {{Item|Fuel Oil}}, which lets them easily make graves at the entrances of non-graveyard dungeons.==== Mourning Graves ====A [[Tombstone]] can be mourned at, resulting in a brief gain of [[Compassion]] XP for the mourner. ==== Tombstone Removal====A [[Tombstone]] can be removed by the character who untimely left it behind, by clicking on it. [[Tombstone]]s can also be removed by other characters, once enough individuals have mourned a grave. When a [[Tombstone]] reaches the point where it can be removed, the next mourner who is also carrying a {{Item|Shovel}} will be asked if they want to bury the corpse or not. If they choose to bury the corpse is replaced , the [[Tombstone]] will disappear and the burier will receive additional [[Compassion]] XP. A character can only receive this additional XP once per hour.===== Tombstone Mourner Variables =====; Spamable Deaths : Deaths such as ''Suicide by Poison'' create [[Tombstone]]s which can be buried after only a few mourners.; Hardcore Deaths: [[Tombstone]]s of characters in [[Hardcore Mode]] that did not die in a spamable death will require more mourners than a normal character that died of the same death. ; Death Rarity: The Tombstone notifies other players rarity of the death impacts how they had died and allows them many mourners are required before a [[Tombstone]] can be buried. [[Deaths]] that are hard to mourn over the bodyearn, while influenced by a random factor, will usually create a longer-lasting tombstone.=== Tombstone Styles ===[[Tombstone]] style is determined primarily by level in [[Dying]], however unique [[Tombstone]]s exist. <!-- Last tombstone at level 21 Dying. Early versions at ??? Might also be a Hardcore tombstone? Need proof -->* Characters infected with [[Lycanthropy]] create a unique grave.* Characters turned into a [[Giant Bat]] create a unique grave.* Characters in Hardcore Mode create a unique grave. === Gallery ===<gallery mode="packed-hover" heights="200px">File:Tombstone_level2.png|Dying Level 2File:Tombstone_level5.png|Dying Level 5File:Tombstone_level28.png|Dying Level 28File:Tombstone_hardcore.png|Hardcore</gallery> [[Category:Mechanics]]
