== Death ==
* If you die ''before'' your overall level gets to 21, you will respawn at the <code>#beam&nbsp;me&nbsp;up</code> [[fire pit]] with all of your items, if you were on continent 1 ([[Seridia]]). On continent 2 ([[Irilion]]), you will instead go to the [[underworld]] and possibly lose some items.
* If you die on either continent ''after'' reaching overall level 21, you will go to the [[underworld]] and possibly lose some items.
* Each slot/square in your inventory has a 50% chance of being lost when you go to the underworld. It does not matter whether the slot contains 1 or 1000 of an item; the entire slot will be lost.
* The items you lose will remain in a [[death bag|"death&nbsp;bag"]] (called a "db" in the game) at the location where you died for about 12 minutes. You may retrieve the items by returning to that location. The bag will disappear after 12 minutes or earlier if too many bags appear on the map or if someone picks it up. The timer can be reset to 12 by putting an item ''into'' the bag.
* To exit the underworld, walk to the center of the northernmost wall to a flight of steps leading up to an archway/door. As you approach the door, the scenery will become brighter as a hint you are getting close. Click on the archway/door, and you will appear next to the <code>#beam&nbsp;me&nbsp;up</code> fire pit on [[Isla Prima]].
* If you see someone die, remember their name, pick up their stuff, and send them a [[#Chat|private message]] to tell them you have their death bag. Even though you could take the stuff and leave, players of EL frown upon this kind of behavior. This is called "bag&nbsp;jumping", and many players and guilds will ostracize you for exhibiting this essentially untrustworthy behavior.
* A completely empty inventory is useful when exploring dangerous areas. If you die, you will not lose any items because you won't be carrying any. See the ''[[#Storage|Storage]]'' section below.
* [[Gold Coins]], some armors and [[Iron Sword]]s are among the things that [[Undroppable items|don't drop upon death.]]
