What's the price for dying?
Standard league:
Experience loss depends on the difficulty you're currently playing in. Note you cannot lose levels by losing experience through death.
- Normal Difficulty: 0%
- Cruel Difficulty: 5%
- Merciless Difficulty: 10%
Hardcore league:
The character is removed from the hardcore league (temporary or permanent). The character and all the items they are carrying are transferred to the permanent Standard league.
Cut-throat league:
Items are dropped upon death, making them loot-able for anyone. You also lose experience at the same rate as Standard leagues.
