Guarantee reduce lifespan for robbing a tomb doesn't make sense.

[χø£¡Ŧ|ź]

Never in any xianxia material depicted character losing lifespan 'everytime' they enter a tomb.

Please, change it into losing some stat temporally not permanently.

[Shirakani]

Or at least change it into a %age chance for a vengeful ghost and/or cursed ghost to be there, or not be there. If there is a ghost that can curse you, there should be a chance to break the curse as well.

Well, tomb raid is considered very unethical in Chinese culture, there is a superstitious belief that people involved such action might punished by gods or spirits to suffering reduced lifespan, weird illness or/and sudden untimely death. It seems they just put this into the game without given much thought to it.

Jiuchen's second passive ability gives you 40% chance not to lose lifespan when raiding a tomb. So before you attempt to raid one, you can slot him/his artifact and save.

Tbh, I wish they expand on that robbing mechanic. Tomb robbing is supposed to be a huge deal in Chinese Xianxia. Current mechanic feels like "It's just another Tuesday" hahahah.

Robbing living, no problem. Robbing the dead, no no naughty!

Haha

I've actually read a few wuxia stories where raiding the tomb of a deceased cultivator had serious consequences, although usually that was usually more along the lines of powerful defenses and deadly traps. Of course, those were very powerful demonic path cultivators who had a lot of treasures that they wanted to keep, even in death.

In regards to what is going on, consider it like this: A good, righteous cultivator who was famed and renowned would have been buried in a special tomb created by their sect or family line. Even just a righteous one would still have been given a decent burial, even if he never really got anywhere, as he was still respected by his peers for being a good person. Their remains wouldn't be out in the middle of nowhere in the wilderness, forgotten by all.

The tombs you find in the wilderness, then, are just most likely the graves of demonic path cultivators who died friendless and alone, cursing the world as they died. They were so obsessed with their worldly possessions that they demanded that they be buried with them instead of being passed on to others as family or sect treasures.

As such, their spirits would no doubt still be bound to the material world, and would be greatly angered by having their graves defiled and would not hesitate to curse you for it. So, losing max lifespan is the manifestation of that curse.

The problem is not negative thing from robbing grave. But, that it's guaranteed and permanent negative that's not worth the reward.

That's not fun.

The lifespan loss is completely irrelevant since you'll hit Enlightenment in at most a hundred years. There's also an event with a tree and a pond, where picking the tree gives you a fruit that expands your lifespan by one year. There is a special counter for robbing graves, but for now it means nothing.

The graverobbing is only worth it to get rare metals for forging artifacts, that's it.

You can lives for 1000 of years. Move on.
