;Tldr Died 4-5 times losing about all my top (for me) gear and extra sets. Was on the verge of quitting. Found this post. Compromised with my desire to not "cheat." Used ghost to get to my body and get my gear, but once I had my gear, I turned ghost off and fought my way back.

I really appreciate the people who helped on this post. I was on the verge of quitting this overall delightful game when I found this.
I had full iron gear halfway upgraded in the swamp. Was heading to one of the bosses and stumbled across several corpse and bone piles right by each other.
After some fighting, died. Had high level food, some medium hp pots, and a poison reduction pot applied.
Geared back up with bronze gear trying to get my stuff back. Died again.
Tried again with troll armor- lil sneakier this time. Died.
I felt super disheartened and was tempted to quit, but I really enjoy this game, challenge and all, so I decided I would farm up some bronze armor and try again. Died when 2 ghosts, about 8 draughers, and a couple slimes somehow all spawned right around me.
At this point I was tempted to just walk away and cut my losses. I have some time in this game enjoying adventuring, building, and crafting- I've gotten my money's worth. But I hate giving up... So I took to the forums to see about maybe asking for help getting my gear back. Top post at that time last night was this one.
I generally don't like to use any sort of cheat codes in games- it takes away the fun of the game- but I have limited time to play, and don't want to spend 10s of hours restarting again and again. This game is already grindy enough- a pleasant grind overall, but a lot of time. I have commitments in life, so I decided to compromise.
I used ghost to get to my body and get my gear, but once I had my gear, I turned ghost off and fought my way back.
Also read someone suggesting gravedigger mode. I like there being some penalty for death beyond the skill point loss, even if its the time to run to my corpse. So, I'll stick with ghost.
