Deadman Reborn: Day 3 Feedback Changes
This week saw the exciting return of Deadman Reborn! We've made multiple changes since the brutal PvP everywhere mode went live, and today we'd like to talk about some additional changes we've made that will help both the DMM die-hards and newcomers to the game.
[h2]Deadman Reborn: Day 3 Feedback Changes[/h2]
Deadman Reborn has exceeded all of our expectations, and we've seen so many great moments happen throughout the last two days. These moments are usually at the expense of an unfortunate player in the wrong place at the wrong time. Today we've made some changes that should help those of you who are unfortunate enough to not have the rebuild potential as others do after losing your last life. Make sure you're up to date with the changes made before today by reading the Deadman Reborn release news post.
The first change we'd like to talk about is how Starter kits will work going forward. These kits provide useful resources to help budding adventurers progress and work towards their final goals. Currently Starter kits work as follows:
We're changing how often Starter kits can be reclaimed.
Going forward, Starter kits can be reclaimed any time you lose a life. You'll get the full contents of the kit as listed above, allowing you to continue rebuilding what was lost.
In addition to a new Starter kit being reclaimed any time you lose a life, we'll also be increasing the amount of protection that is available within the 3-35 combat bracket.
The immunity period offered within the 3-35 combat bracket has been increased from 15 minutes to 60 minutes. This increased protection from other players should help you better prepare yourself for the dangerous road ahead.
One issue we've seen players face during the rebuild stages of Deadman Reborn is how difficult it can be to obtain some of the lower tier Sigil Powerups to help regain skills and generate wealth. We'd like to change this by adding some extra support within the Starter kits that are given out, alongside the other changes listed above.
Going forward, in addition to the other supplies contained within Starter kits, players will also be granted a random Tier 1 Sigil Powerup and 5,000 GP.
Note: The Tier 1 Sigil Powerup and 5,000 GP can only be claimed once per day, even after losing your last life. Players who have already claimed their Starter kit today will be able to obtain a new one with these included.
The last change we'd like to make is in regards to the Three Life System. Our intentions with introducing this was to really emphasise the true risk behind playing Deadman Reborn, whilst also introducing something entirely new to the mode. That being said, we have seen your feedback suggesting that it is simply too punishing for most players, and the rebuild can be overly daunting, putting players off from continuing to play.
Previously, the Three Life System worked as follows:
Each player starts their adventure with three lives. Upon dying in PvP combat, you lose a life along with all items you had equipped, which go to the player who defeated you (plus a Bank Key containing the top 10 most valuable items from your Bank). Using the Protect Item Prayer will not protect any additional items on PvP death.
When dying to another player, untradeable items will act as they do in Wilderness deaths. The items will revert to a broken state and need repairing before they can be used again. The PKer will receive coins as a reward.
Should you lose your final life in PvP, the contents of your Safe Deposit Box, plus the remaining most valuable banked items (up to a total of 28) go to the PKer. Treat those lives carefully! Here's some important info to note once your last life is lost:
We've changed how the Three Life System works. Upon losing your last life, you are now presented with three options:
Lose all your Combat XP
This option allows you to prioritise losing your Combat XP in favour of retaining certain items. When selected, a PKer will have still raided your Safety Deposit Box and your bank, but you'll keep anything that would have otherwise been wiped upon losing your final life, such as:
Lose all your items
Selecting this option will delete all items in any storage option around Gielinor, including your Sigils. Also, your non-combat skills will still be reduced by 10%.
Lose both
Selecting this option will replicate the current three life system as if you had lost your final life. All items in all storage options around Gielinor will be lost and all your combat skills will be set to 0 XP.
That's everything you need to know about Deadman: Reborn! We look forward to seeing you all in game trying out the newest version of Old School's most brutal PvP experience!
We hope that these changes will be a welcome addition to Deadman Reborn. Let us know what you think, and provide any feedback you might have down below!

The first change we'd like to talk about is how Starter kits will work going forward. These kits provide useful resources to help budding adventurers progress and work towards their final goals. Currently Starter kits work as follows:
- Once you begin your journey you will receive a Starter Kit, which will also be given to you upon losing your third life! You'll also be able to claim Starter Kits from the Combat tutors. These can be claimed once per day, are untradeable, and cannot be used in PvP.
- Each pack gives you a Staff which comes charged with the equivalent of 500 Fire strikes, a Bow which is charged with the equivalent of 2,000 bronze arrows, and a Scimitar wieldable from level 1 Attack that is equivalent to a Mithril scimitar.
- The kit also contains a Combat potion, and 12 cooked Tunas. The once per day limit is reset after losing your final life, allowing you to claim a new starter pack to help with the Combat Experience Rebuild! Supplies contained within the starter packs are untradeable.

- You respawn with a fresh supply of lives and 15 minutes of protection.
- All attuned and unattuned Sigils are lost.
- You must choose a new Tier 2 Sigil.
- Combat XP is fully reset (this includes: Attack, Defence, HP, Magic, Prayer, Ranged and Strength).
- All items within your Bank and Safe Deposit Box are wiped.
- All items within Death's Coffer and any points stored with the Emblem Trader Store are wiped.
- 10% of all Skilling experience is lost.
- Quest progress is not reset (any quests you complete during the qualifiers will stay complete – permanently)!
