There are two different types of combat tags. Yellow tags, in which you will not lose your items, and red tags where you will lose your items and shard pouch.
Example of a Yellow Tagged player
Yellow Tags[]
Yellow tags are the type of combat tag that you will get when you are in a battle zone and yellow combat zones, such as the Nether and the End. You will lose items that are Unstable but you will not lose regular items, however if you hit somebody who is red tagged, you will be switched to a red combat tag. Yellow tags can be found in battle zones, and outside of docks in dock territories. These areas are also known as Yellow Wilderness.
You can tell that a player is yellow tagged by the color of the skull emoji next to their name.
Common Yellow Tag Areas:
- Nether (Excluding Dreadfort)
- End
- Dock Tiles
- Yellow Infested
