quick question about bodies

[saltmummy626]

does anyone know How long does it take a hearthling body to decay into a skeleton? I heard it was 40 minutes, but Its been more than that I think.

about 40 minutes (RT) seems right from my experience 5 days ago - while boating around for mapping i came across a hearthling that just got killed at that moment by a herd of Aurochs - i came across different times there later as i had to walk for missing tiles too - and i watched my clock



ty NOOBY for pointing me to wrong days given - edited

about 40 minutes seems right from my experience 3 days ago

thank you borka. now, does the body have to be off screen? ive been standing next to mine for about an hour and it hasnt decayed.

Doesn't have to be offscreen, guess it's random

thanks nooby, I timed it (using the timestamps from skype chat) and it appears to have taken my body about an hour to decay. maybe its a give or take thing? or maybe I timed it wrong. either way, thanks for the info.

I think it actually decays slower if you sit and watch it. But that should just be a psychological thing . Either way, it has happened about 3 times that i've camped a skeleton (last world waiting for alts to decay) and walked off screen and come back and it decayed
