I mean, an elf can save for 500 years to get a clone.  If they do things like buy continual flame lanterns that can save them several gp per year century after century, clothes of mending that also save them gold century after century magic items that cast cantrips that save them labor or prevent spending money (who needs to buy spices when you have Prestidigitation?) , they can all afford to buy clones.  And since the first clone doesn't destroy the vessel, so the elf can accumulate even more wealth on their second lives.  Humans need to spend 8,000gp to match an elf's first lifespan and another 6,000gp to match their second.  It's just so much easier for elves to be eternal and stupidly wealthy.  Elves just live a life completely unlike humans or the other "century" races.Only gnomes (350-500 year lifespan) and dwarves (400ish year lifespan) would have a similar kinds of existence, but they are still 2-3 centuries of lifespan behind elves so things are dicier for them as losses put them at greater risk.Halflings only live to 250 and are generally a species happy to find contentment and spend the rest of their lives enjoying it.</blockquote>
