Second most important is to tell the priest when you reach the afterlife. No priest is going to be happy to blow so much mana on a resurrection attempt just to find out that the damn person who just asked for life either has not reached the afterlife yet or has manifest somewhere. In these cases, you'll be lucky to get a second attempt.
So true. I cannot begin to count the times when people are begging for life and I start the resurrection and then they send me a tell when I'm concentrating saying that they aren't in the river yet. Many times, I'll tell them that I have to reprepare and just let them rot until I have spare time to take care of it.
Another thing to keep in mind, if you send requests to multiple priests, make sure to let the ones that might be trying to resurrect you that you have gotten life from another source. This is another way to tick off a priest with wasting mana only to get a response that the soul can't be resurrected.
I'd also request the dead to be patient when a priest is doing the resurrection, a few times I've gotten a tell that interrupted the concentration and I have had to start over or rest. Along these lines, don't expect every priest to have resurrection (mastered), we do fail from time to time and it will take multiple attempts and possible periods of rest before getting you back to life, if a priest agrees don't keep bugging them unless a great length of time has passed (and 5 minutes (or less) does not equal a great length of time).
