# Health & Stamina

***

### Health Management

**Full Health Recovery:**

* **Leveling Up** - Instantly restores health to maximum
* **Sleeping (Player House)** - Fully replenishes health
* **Health Potions**

**Health Buffs:** Some potions and meals provide temporary buffs that increase your maximum health for a limited time.

#### Increasing Maximum Health

To increase your maximum health capacity, distribute attribute points into **Vigor** when leveling up.

### Stamina Management

Stamina is only consumed during combat by using the following actions: 

* **Sprinting** - Drains stamina constantly
* **Dash** - Drains stamina quickly
* **Attack** - Drains stamina with each strike

**When your stamina is low or reaches zero, these actions become limited or unavailable.**

#### Stamina Recovery

Stamina replenishes quickly over time, even during combat, as long as you're not actively sprinting, dashing, or attacking. The regeneration is relatively fast, allowing you to recover quickly between actions.

You can also consume **Stamina Potions** or eat **Cooked Food** for instant stamina recovery. Different consumables restore varying amounts of stamina.

#### Increasing Maximum Stamina

To increase your maximum stamina capacity, distribute attribute points into **Endurance** when leveling up.
