This is the safest Setting available and is perfect for when you just want a normal and peaceful session in your world.

Drop All Items Except Equipment

Players drop all resources gathered along with consumables and Key Items after dying or respawning in the World.

You only get to retain Weapons and Clothing, and will have a timer to reclaim all dropped items at the last place you died on.

Drop All Items

Only the Pals in your Team will remain after dying or respawning in the World.

All valuable items like keys, food, and gatherable resources will be dropped and need to be picked up within a time limit to avoid losing them.

Drop All Items and Pals on Team

Dying or respawning causes you to drop every Item in your Inventory, Pal Team, and Equipment slots.

This is the most challenging penalty and will require lots of preparation before venturing out in the wild.
