Gravestone

Gravestones are generated when a player dies via any means except in Bounty Worlds or PvP Worlds, through a safe activity or at the corporeal beast, and drops at least one item at death. All of the player's items (other than their bones) are kept safe under the gravestone until the gravestone is destroyed. This can occur either due to timeout or demolition by the player.

Note: The gravestone will remain if player logs out or loses connection, but the timer will continue to run down.

Gravestones can last from three to six minutes, depending on the type purchased. A gravestone can be walked through by a player, and right-clicking yields four interaction options: Read, Repair, Bless and Demolish.

Without repairs or blessing, gravestones will collapse on their own after a certain period of time, depending on the type of gravestone purchased. At 1 minute and 30 seconds a basic gravestone becomes broken, and at 30 seconds until collapsing it becomes a collapsing gravestone. The gravestone will remain upstanding if the player logs out, but the timer until demolish will not be paused. The text that appears on the gravestone will also change. The comparison between the Memorial Plaque and the Angel of Death gravestones are shown below:

Options

 * Read: Reveals the name of the player who died and, in some cases, how long ago.
 * Read your own gravestone: "It looks like it'll survive another X minutes, Isn't there something a bit odd about reading your own gravestone?"
 * Repair: Allows a player with a prayer level of 2+ to extend the longevity of the gravestone by up to five minutes, by giving up one prayer point per minute. Can only be used on broken or collapsing gravestones, as long as you have more prayer points than necessary to extend the life of the gravestone.
 * Bless: Allows a player with a prayer level of 70+ to extend the longevity of the gravestone by as many minutes as points of prayer they have, minus ten, or up to one hour after the gravestone had been set up.
 * Bless your own gravestone: "The gods don't seem to approve of people attempting to bless their own gravestones."
 * Demolish one's own gravestone: "It looks like it'll survive another X minutes. You demolish it anyway."
 * Examine(basic grave marker): "Marks the place where someone died."
