Adrenaline is a Rare enchant for chestplates. While you wear it and your health is at or below 15% of your maximum health, you get Speed II, which helps you escape or close in when a fight turns against you.
How to get it#
Buy a Rare rune in the enchant shop for 20,000 XP. Opening the rune gives an enchanted book with one of the 13 enchants in the Rare pool, and every enchant in the pool is equally likely. See Runes for how the pool and the book level work.
Effect#
- The game checks your health every half second.
- At or below 15% of your maximum health, you receive Speed II. The effect shows no particles and no status icon.
- When your health rises above 15% again, or you take the chestplate off, the enchant removes your Speed effect.
- The threshold is a share of your maximum health, so it grows with extra hearts and with Vitality.
The enchant works only on a worn chestplate. Other armor pieces do not count.
Levels#
The level does not change the effect. Levels I, II and III give the same Speed II at the same 15% threshold, so a level I book is as good as a level III book.
Notes and tips#
- Adrenaline manages the Speed effect itself. When your health recovers it clears every Speed effect from you, including Speed from a potion you drank.
- It does nothing at higher health, so it pairs with enchants that help you survive at low health, such as Resilience.
- An item can carry each enchant once. To swap a copy for another, remove it with a Black Scroll or an Extraction Scroll.
