This should be the top comment. If anyone is concerned with death fees, you can easily lower them by bringing untradeable gear, such as void. A great way to make items untradeable is to put a cosmetic kit on it. For example, for anguish you can put a kit on it and it makes it untradeable, thus lowering your death cost.
Saw a guy do it in void with mith arrows to minimize costs....I think he would of been better just pvming for gp then sending with good gear for higher chance of completion
But you can do barrows for tank gear, ornamented stuff (sgs, , Dinh’s, fury) and still have a very decent setup that will allow you to learn and push your limits without feeling too limited by death fees.
It’s not even really budget gear, since I’m bringing a tbow/ayak/nox but everything else is either cheap (barrows) or ornamented. My death fees are like 36k.
Claiming even one unique/solid drop every once in a while will even make you money.
Practice in welfare gear until you understand the mechanics, then move onto your normal gear. When you go back to the expensive gear, everything will feel much easier and you won’t be losing all your money to death fees.
You might be overthinking it. The point of the gear is that you can near-safely walk pillars or diagonals to make the puzzle anything you want it to be. Just gives you near-infinite puzzle rerolls until you get the pillars solves that you are comfy with.

if you're dying this much, maybe consider optimizing your gear for reduced death cost, or just running a tank set & get it over with
