Hardcore

Hardcore mode is a Game Mode released on the 23rd of July 2020 that can be chosen when creating a new character. There is no way to change a character from one game mode to another after creation. Hardcore characters are deleted upon Death and also have several penalties that apply while playing:

• Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Hitpoints do not passively regenerate
• The Bank is limited to a maximum of 108 slots - 20 slots are available initially and a further 96 can be purchased from the Shop. Players can gain additional slots to exceed this limit, either permanently through the use of Bank Slot Tokens, or temporarily while the Pillar of Generosity is active.
• The Combat Triangle penalties for using the combat style that is weak against the current enemy are increased.

• Always check the amount of vital resources before going away: Food, food auto-swap (provided by
