Out of curiosity, if you die in crystal lake are you just fucked in terms of getting your shit back?

If you know which room you died it is not that hard but still a pain to get your equipment back. The lake has a room spell on every room (sea 1, sea 2, sea 3) that moves your items around. The spells sea 1, sea 2, and sea 3 use the ScatterItems ability which randomly teleports your equipment to a range of rooms on the same map. Sea 1 for example will scatter your items from map 17 room 1014 to map 17 room 1030.

The spell does not always fire right when you die or can only flood a certain number of items I believe so sometimes your equipment or some of it will be in the initial room you died in until you walk in and a spell round happens. Then your items will move around to the specified range of rooms. You can try and grab them quick before a spell round goes off (3 seconds) otherwise you will have to go to those rooms that they scatter to.

If I remember correctly, the player is also moved randomly correct?
Going to different rooms isn't so bad, its actually getting to the room that was difficult.

So is there any way around the player getting moved?

You will not get moved around on the lake if you are over level 50 and have a wooden skiff or a log raft. You still do have a 3% chance of getting put on the galleon at 50 and above though.

Once the items are placed in their randomly selected range of rooms, do they stay there? Or does the spell continue to cast on those rooms as well?

Just wondering if you know where that range is, if you just go there every time and your shit would be there. or if it would just keep moving around inside that range.
