Deadman Mode

A player in Deadman Mode.

Deadman Mode (commonly abbreviated as DMM) is a variant of Old School RuneScape that released on 29 October 2015. A separate server is hosted featuring an open PvP environment, with some exceptions. Players in-game can speak to Nigel in Lumbridge Graveyard for information about Deadman Mode.

Experience gained in Deadman Mode is 5x more than usual. Experience will not be gained in most instanced areas (such as the Nightmare Zone and TzHaar Fight Caves).

Every player begins their adventure at combat level 3, and progress in Old School RuneScape will not be affected. All content is only available to members.

Upon killing a player, they may receive blood money. One is received per kill, and can be used to purchase Deadman armour from Nigel in the Lumbridge Graveyard. It has the same bonuses as iron armour. A total of three are required to purchase the Deadman's chest, Deadman's legs, and Deadman's cape. These can be reclaimed for free should a player die.

Seasonal

Every few months, Jagex opens a brand new Deadman Seasonal server, in which the top 2,000 players will become eligible to participate in the Deadman Invitational.

The Invitational server is yet another brand new server in which every player starts over from the beginning, and have less than a week to build their accounts up to the final hour of the Invitational, in which a deadly fog spreads over the area, and the safe zone is broadcasted in game, forcing remaining players to a confined area to fight it out.

The final survivor then wins a $20,000 cash prize, and a brand new Deadman season begins when announced. The list of dates and seasons can be found below:

Minigames

The following minigames and their reward shops (if any) are not available to players in Deadman Mode.

• Nightmare Zone
• Tithe Farm
• Energy Transfer cannot be cast on players who have recently been in combat.

Mechanics

Experience

Players receive 5x experience points from typical skilling activities, quest rewards, XP lamps, and some minigames.

On seasonal Deadman Mode servers, players will instead receive a 20x boost during their first 30 minutes of in-game time, and 10x for the first 6 hours.

On permanent Deadman Mode servers, players will instead receive a 10-20x boost to skills for their first 12 hours of in-game time. The boost multiplier depends on the skill's level at the time of receiving the experience points; 20x for level 1 skills, and slowly decreasing to 10x at level 50 and beyond. The exact formula is currently unknown.

Players will not receive experience points in most instanced areas. This includes instanced boss fights, the Nightmare Zone, and the Tzhaar Fight Cave. Exceptions include player-owned houses (construction and prayer experience only) and Tempoross.

Shops

Some stores have a modified stock on the Deadman Mode world compared to other game modes, such as the Dorgeshuun crossbow and related accessories being offered for sale at Lowe's Archery Emporium in Varrock, Hickton's Archery Emporium in Catherby, and the Bow and Arrow salesman in the Ranging Guild. Combination runes may be sold to the Void Knight Magic Store, who lists an empty stock of them. Several stores also feature greatly reduced restock times.

There is no convenience fee when listing items for sale at the Grand Exchange, and correspondingly no items are sunk through this mechanism on Deadman Mode. Be very wary of leaving items behind in offer slots when venturing outside of a safe zone however, as all items listed for sale at the Grand Exchange will be permanently deleted when dying in combat against another player.

Drop rate

The drop rate for some rare items is increased for permanent Deadman Mode, although no exhaustive list of affected items has been confirmed as of yet. Cyclopes in the Warriors' Guild will drop defenders at a rate of 1/25 for bronze through rune, while cyclopes in the basement drop the dragon defender at a rate of 1/50. The standard list of items that are given an increased drop rate during the Deadman Seasonal modes are not boosted on the permanent Deadman Mode server however. The pharaoh's sceptre no longer has an increased drop rate on the permanent Deadman world.

In contrast, the loot of all revenants is significantly lowered, as their standard droptable has been reduced to only the three unupgraded Wilderness weapons, amulet of avarice, ancient crystal, bracelet of ethereum, revenant ether, and consumable drops. They are still able to call the global Deadman Mode tables described below however, and the revenant maledictus is still guaranteed to drop an ancient artefact on death.

Players may receive archaic emblems as a monster drop on the permanent Deadman world, which can be given to the Emblem Trader in exchange for credit at the Bounty Hunter Shop. Players who are on a Wilderness Slayer task have a chance of receiving a tier 1 emblem as an uncommon drop from the monster they are assigned to kill, whereas a tier 5 emblem may be received as a drop from any NPC with a combat level of 100 or higher at a rate of 1/300. These archaic emblems may exchanged at the Emblem Trader for respectively 50,000 and 750,000 archaic points, to be spent in the aforementioned shop. The emblems cannot be upgraded to a higher tier.

Monsters encountered in the Wilderness have a chance of dropping a scroll of imbuing, which scales based on the monster's combat level. Unlike in regular game modes, Wilderness monsters will not drop a looting bag, and hence the only way to acquire the item in Deadman Mode is by purchasing it from the Bounty Hunter Shop, trading another player for a looting bag note, or by buying access to the dispenser at the Wilderness Agility Course.

Global loot table

All monsters found in the Wilderness on the permanent Deadman Mode world have a chance of calling a global loot table containing all of the weapons that are part of the Ancient Warriors' equipment. The only exception consists of black chinchompas, which will not give a shot at accessing the global Wilderness loot table when killed.

	Item	Quantity	Rarity	Price	High Alch
	Statius's warhammer	1	1/8	Not sold	N/A
	Vesta's longsword	1	1/8	Not sold	N/A
	Vesta's spear	1	1/8	Not sold	N/A
	Zuriel's staff	1	1/8	Not sold	N/A
	Morrigan's javelin	50	2/8	Not sold	N/A
	Morrigan's throwing axe	50	2/8	Not sold	N/A

Rate of access

The denominator of the global loot table, with regular monsters in blue and boss monsters in red

The rate of accessing this table depends on the combat level of the monster.

The probability of rolling for this table after killing a monster with combat level $L$ and monster type modifier $M$ is:

For monsters level 1 to 100:

$\mathbb {P} ={\frac {1}{(1000+\left\lfloor (100-L)^{2}\right\rfloor )*M}}$

For monsters level 101 to 500:

$\mathbb {P} ={\frac {1}{(\left\lfloor 1187.5-L*1.875\right\rfloor )*M}}$.

For monsters level 501 or above:

$\mathbb {P} ={\frac {1}{250*M}}$

The monster type modifier $M$ is equal to 16 if a regular monster is killed, while $M$ equals 4 if the killed NPC is a boss monster. Any of the Wilderness monsters that can be assigned as a boss Slayer task counts as a boss monster for the purpose of the boosted global drop table on the permanent Deadman server.

Beginning protection

On permanent Deadman Mode servers, players cannot attack nor be attacked by other players for the first 12 hours of in-game time. Players are not able to receive a Wilderness weapon or Ancient Warriors' weapon as a drop while enjoying the benefits of beginner protection however. Players may choose to end their protection period early by speaking to the Doomsayer.

A map showing the safe (green) and multicombat zones (red) in Deadman Mode

Some towns and villages are "safe" zones. Players cannot attack other players within the area. However, players who are standing outside of a safe zone are still able to attack players if they are within range of their attacks, whether or not they are standing in a safe zone.

Any player who enters these safe zones when skulled will be attacked on sight by level 1337 guards. These guards can hit in the high 40s through prayer and are able to cast Ice Barrage and Tele Block. In addition, players frozen by guards cannot pick up or telegrab items.

Tutorial Island, the Barbarian Assault minigame area, and the raid dungeons are the only places in Deadman Mode where players are unable to attack others. Safe zones include:

• Barbarian Assault (only during the minigame itself)
• Catherby Bank (only the bank) <maplink align="center" text="" plane="0" y="3442" x="2809" zoom="2" mapID="0">

Looting bags may not be filled inside of safezones, but unlike other game modes, it can be freely used anywhere outside of these guarded areas. On the other hand, note that the effects of an imbued ring of wealth still only apply inside of the Wilderness.

Skull status

The skulls that appear on a player's head, indicating the amount of bank keys in their possession.

In Deadman Mode, being skulled will cause level 1337 guards in low-threat areas to cast Ice Barrage, Tele Block, and attack you, being able to hit through prayer, and are unable to pick up or telegrab items while frozen.

Skulled players will not be able to teleport or log out instantly, and a seven second timer will count down in the chatbox. Players must not move or be in combat for seven seconds. After the timer is depleted, they will automatically teleport or log out.

In addition, if players are in possession of bank keys, the skull will indicate the amount of keys that are in a player's possession. Players who attack other players with a skull will not become skulled themselves.

A skull will last for five minutes, but will not deplete while in an instanced area or when standing in the same place for an extended period of time. The game HUD will have a timer, updating every half minute, to notify skulled players how long they will stay skulled.

Death

Dying in Deadman Mode varies depending on how the player died. If killed by another player, 10 of the most valuable items will be taken by the killer in the form of a bank key, in addition to any items that were in the victim's inventory.

When a skulled player is killed by an NPC, the 10 most valuable stack of items from their bank are dropped on the floor instead. These items will appear instantly to everyone. In addition, untradeable items (such as Void Knight equipment or a fire cape) will convert to coins upon death.

However, if a player dies to an NPC without being skulled, it acts as a normal death akin to that of Old School RuneScape.

The interface showing the 10 most valuable item stacks lost on death

Historically, players who die to players would lose experience in accordance to the combat level differences. The exact formula was:

${\frac {1}{1+e^{y}}}$

Where:

$y={\frac {CombatLevel(killer)-{\frac {121}{125}}*CombatLevel(victim)-30}{10}}$

Players could choose to preserve a maximum of five skills (two combat skills and three non-combat skills) to prevent experience loss. However, a player's Herblore level would never be less than 3, provided they had completed Druidic Ritual, and a player's Hitpoints level will never be less than 10.

Bank raiding and insurance

A player taking items from another players bank.

Players who are killed by another player or killed by an NPC while skulled will drop a bank key, in which 10 of the most valuable items, based on Grand Exchange value, are removed from your bank. The key will automatically appear in the inventory of the PKer, if they have the space for it.

The player that obtained the key can collect the items by opening a chest in a bank within a low-threat area, which means they must wait until their skull expires or risk being killed by the guards. These bank keys cannot be deposited into a bank, and only five bank keys can be in a player's possession at any given time. Bank keys look identical once in the inventory and cannot be examined to discover who dropped them. Once obtained, they cannot be dropped, only destroyed.

A Deadman chest, which requires a bank key to open.

The Safe Deposit Box, accessed by visiting a Financial Wizard.

If a player kills a player who is in possession of another bank key, they will drop their own bank key in addition to their victim's bank keys, with higher valued keys taking priority. If a skulled player dies to a guard, 10 of their most valuable items from the bank are dropped wherever they die. However, if a player does not have enough inventory space to receive a key, it will be dropped to the floor. This will only happen until the limit of 5 keys is reached. Both keys in a player's inventory and on the floor count towards this limit.

Players can insure up to ten items (ten single items, not 10 stacks of items) by speaking to the Financial Wizard and depositing the items in the safe deposit box. Items in the safe deposit box will not be lost, unlike those found in the bank, and can be collected any time the player visits the Financial Wizard at almost any bank in a low risk zone. Untradeable items may not be stored in the safe deposit box, nor any items that are tradeable but cannot be listed for sale on the Grand Exchange.

Rule breaking

The Rules of RuneScape apply to Deadman Mode as well.

Account sharing is bannable, and will cause players to be disqualified.

Boxing, which is engaging in combat with an allied player for the purpose of avoiding legitimate gameplay, will result in disqualification.

Trivia

• There was a glitch on 24 April 2018 where the permanent Deadman Mode world was temporarily swapped for scheduled maintenance, however Deadman Mode mechanics were prematurely applied on the new Deadman Mode world and players were subject to Deadman Mode conditions that affected their main server accounts. Jagex attempted to restore items and experience lost by the glitch.
