Gravestone



Gravestones are generated when a player dies via any means -- including suicide -- except during Bounty hunter or through a safe minigame. 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.

Gravestones can last from two minutes to five minutes, depending on the type purchased. A gravestone can be walked through by a player, and right-clicking yields four options:


 * Read: Reveals the name of the player who died and, in some cases, how long ago.
 * 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, and only twice.
 * Bless: Allows a player with a prayer level of 70+ to extend the longevity of the gravestone by as many points of prayer as they have, minus ten, or up to one hour after the gravestone had been set up.
 * Own gravestone: The gods don't seem to approve of people attempting to bless their own gravestones.
 * Demolish: Destroys the gravestone. Only the player that the gravestone was dedicated to may do so.
 * It looks like it'll survive another x minutes. You demolish it anyway.
 * Examine: An awesome statue placed in memory of the person who died here.

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. In addition, a gravestone will disappear if the player who died logs out. 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:



Currently the Gravestone timer will still run even if you get teleported by a random event.
