====== Solo Self Found [SSF] / Permadeath [HC] ======

Here is your Solo Self Found [SSF] and Hardcore [HC] guide.

{{:npc:ssf_1_.png?300 |}}To start a SSF or HC character, create a character. On Novice Island you will see the **NPC Joanna** just to the right of the spawn. //(New characters are **NOT** Solo or Permadeath by default)// \\
\\
You have two choices here. **__Solo Self Found__ and __Permadeath__**. \\
All Permadeath/Hardcore characters are Solo Self Found, but not all Solo Self Found characters are Permadeath. 

----
==== SSF & HC Basics: ====

  * You will be unable to trade with other characters, vend, buy, mail, or pick up regular characters loots.
  * Kafra storage is shared among SSF/HC characters. Regular/"SoftCore" character storages are unavailable for SSF/HC characters. //Master Storage/Guild Storage will show but is unavailable.//
  * Master Bank is unavailable. You can still use the Town Banker to share with other SSF/HC characters.
  * SSF/HC characters can still party with other SSF/HC characters and share party loot/exp.
  * Use [[myro_commands|@partylock]] to trade with party members. 15 Level Limit. Resets at logout or party disbanding.
  * Can only receive buffs from other SSF/HC players.
  * [[battlegrounds_arena|Bravery Badges]] from mobs
  * Buffs on level up
  * Higher event drop rates
  * SSF/HC characters can store pets with the [[pets|Pet Whisperer]] but they are not shared with regular softcore "SC" characters.

==== Solo Self Found [SSF] ONLY: ====
  * SSF characters **WILL** respawn when they die.

==== Permadeath/Hardcore [HC] ONLY:====

  * <color #b3180c>HC characters **WILL NOT** respawn when they die.</color> The character will remain dead when you log out. The character can be deleted in the character menu and another created should you choose. (Must leave guild/party to delete character) Use **[[myro_commands|@logout]]** to log out to character menu. You will be unable to obtain any of the items on your character.\\
\\
  * Some events, if you die in an event you **WILL** remain dead. Beware. **Please see [[automated_mini_events|Event Page]] for list of which events are unsafe.** (Bomber Poring is now safe. //<color #b3180c>But not [[mysterious_letter_quest|Mysterious Letter Quest]] bomber poring, you will die in that quest.)</color>//
  * <color #2D8C3F>WoE is [[solo_self_found_permadeath_hardcore|Permadeath [HC]]] **safe**. You will **NOT** permanently die.</color>\\
  * HC characters will respawn if they die inside towns. (This way you are able to test out mobs/damage in Prontera Testing Ground) (Dewata is not safe, this is not considered a town and is a [[seasonal_events_coins_instances_dungeons|seasonal event map]].)
  * <color #b3180c>[[seasonal_events_coins_instances_dungeons|Seasonal event maps]] are **NOT** HC safe. (Dewata, Banquet Hall, etc)</color>
  * **//Aura Costumes//** are available only to Permadeath characters. Once a Permadeath character reaches level 99, you are awarded 2 Aura Costume boxes via the //Achievements tab//, then by mail. Aura Costume can be placed into the [[costumes|Wardrobes]] and used on SC characters on the same account.

  * HC characters will receive a “**[[permadeath_shirt_roll_options|Permadeath shirt]]**” under your armor/costume. This shirt provides additional stats. These stats can be rerolled at the **MyRO Angel > Character Menu > Hardcore Menu**. The further your level, the more bonuses. Permadeath shirts start with one roll and get additional roll at +4, +6 and +9, with maximum of 4 random options.
  * When you rebirth, you keep your **[[permadeath_shirt_roll_options|Permadeath shirt]]** stats. (Novice with +10 Permadeath Shirt)
  * Permadeath shirts are character bound and cannot be shared among HC characters.

  * Permadeath points are awarded by leveling, some daily/weekly quests, or can be purchased at the **MyRO Angel** under **Character Menu > Hardcore Menu** menu.
  * A 2nd Permadeath shirt can be purchased at the MyRO Angel once a Permadeath Character is 99/70 Rebirthed/Maxed.
