Vitality

Vitality is an Uncommon enchant for any helmet, chestplate, leggings or boots. While worn it raises your maximum health by 2 hearts per level, up to 10 extra hearts at level V. The levels of every worn piece with Vitality are added together.

How to get it#

• Uncommon rune. An Uncommon rune costs 15,000 XP in the enchant shop. The Uncommon pool holds 12 enchants, so one Uncommon rune in twelve gives Vitality. The book has a random success chance and an unrevealed level; see Enchanted Books.

Vitality does not appear on any crate gear.

Effect#

Vitality adds to your maximum health for as long as the armor is on. It is always active; there is no chance roll and no cooldown.

• Levels add across pieces. Unlike most armor enchants, Vitality does not use only the highest piece. The levels on all of your worn armor pieces are added, and the total is capped at level V. Vitality II on a helmet and Vitality III on boots make a total of V, worth 10 extra hearts. Four pieces at Vitality II would total VIII, which is capped to V, so 10 extra hearts as well.
• Taking armor off. The extra hearts go away when the armor comes off, and your health is lowered to your new maximum if it was higher.
• No instant healing. Putting Vitality on raises your maximum but does not heal you. The new hearts fill as you regain health.
• Worn only. Armor in your inventory does nothing.

Notes and tips#

• Because the levels add up, several cheap low-level Vitality pieces reach the same bonus as one level V piece. Spread it over any armor slots that have room.
• Vitality fits every armor slot, so it is one of only two armor enchants (with Guarded) that can sit on all four pieces.
• Vitality does not conflict with any other armor enchant, so it can share a piece with Recovery, Bulwark or Guarded.
• A rune book reveals a random level from I to V, and the lower levels are the likelier ones; see level of the book.
