Ghost

See also: Death, Game Information

A character that truly dies first becomes a tombstone. This happens when their energy reaches zero. A tombstone appears on the map they were defeated on; they do not respawn.

Tombstones have the same properties as ghosts, but cannot move at all. If you do not want to wait for a priest character to resurrect you, a tombstone can respawn as a ghost in the nearest cemetery. As a ghost, you can seek out a phoenix statue.

Effects
Ghosts move much slower than normal characters, and cannot run.

As a ghost, your actions are severely limited. You cannot talk to NPCs, perform exchanges, initiate combat (or be aggroed by monsters), perform professions, use items, use zaaps, etc etc. Things ghosts can do include talking, dropping items (i.e. a phoenix potion).

Reincarnation
Returning a ghost or tombstone to their original form is done by raising their energy above zero. There are two main ways.

Touching a Phoenix Statue (ghost only) will resurrect the character and raise their energy to 1000. These statues are marked with red flags on the world map when becoming a ghost.

Aligned characters dedicated to a priest order can also resurrect ghosts using Phoenix Blood Potions. The energy recovered depends on the potion (and maybe the alignment tier of the priest).
