Fell down a death hole at the first Elixir Well. Tombstone spawned on ledge.

Tried to grab it three times and just fall back down the hole into the lava. I think I'll just write it off at this point. Maybe some future update will spawn the tombstones on the edge of the ledge so it can be retrieved.

Loving the game though. It's a lot more difficult than I remember from the demo I played.

I died falling off a cliff tombstone appeared at the place where i fell off and recovered my gear no problem

I'm having the same issue in the same place. If you get close enough to the tombstone to retrieve it, you're already past the point of no return and just fall off the cliff and leave another tombstone.

Use your pickaxes, people. They work anywhere on pretty much anything.

There should be a way to summon your dropped stuff. Like maybe through an NPC. I have lost a lot of stuff the same way you describe.

Now why didn't I think of that? Perfect solution!

It normally appears at the last safe spot you were at. I flew into the shroud of death once and my tombstone appeared like a half mile away where I had started gliding, lol.

Two things you can do if it is in a bad spot.
- One is use the pickaxe like mentioned.
- Other is to place an altar, if you have a spot free/left, within building distance and build out to it and than uninstall your altar.

This happened to me during the beta except I deployed my glider as I panic fell and flew to my doom. On that occasion the grave loot was where I fell from.

In the EA release I've noticed that there are small bits on a cliff that can catch you just long enough for the game to reset the fall point but not long enough to stop the actual fall which can result in the bag being halfway down a chasm.

Not always possible but it you do start a plummet, turning around to face away from the cliff and gliding even for a moment can be a life saver.
