Warlords of Azeroth · Territory

Where You Can Die

Forty-eight zones, three tiers. In one of them death costs you nothing. In another it costs every copper you are carrying. In the last it costs the armour off your back — and somebody is standing over the chest.

Back to the front

The three tiers

You are told which tier you are standing in, in colour, every time you cross a border.

Safe

17

Death costs you nothing. Starting zones and every capital.

Dangerous

20

Death costs you the gold you carry. Your gear stays on your body.

Highly Dangerous

11

Death costs you your gold and your gear. Full loot, no exceptions.

How the chest works

Nobody loses a bag to a rule they did not know about.

Green quality and above
Anything rarer than white can drop. Whites and greys never do.
Eight items at most
The most a single corpse will surrender.
Worn gear goes first
Armour and weapons fill those eight slots before your bags are even looked at.
Five minutes on the ground
Nobody owns the chest. Anyone still standing can open it, and unclaimed spoils rot.
Ten levels of protection
Kill someone ten levels beneath you and no chest ever appears.
Looted gear is unbound
Take a piece off a corpse and you can sell it. Gear circulates forever.

Highly Dangerous

11 zones

Gold and gear. Seven of these can be held by a guild — hold one and your guild farms more gold inside it, and taxes every outsider who loots there.
