Stamina, Health and Buffs

Buffs play an essential role in enhancing your character’s abilities.

Buff Levels are denoted by stars next to the buff icon.

• No stars = Level 1 Buff
• 1 star = Level 2 Buff
• 2 stars = Level 3 Buff

If a buff has not expired and the player consumes an item that provides the same buff, then the time remaining will be replaced with the max duration of the newly consumed item. With the exception of the Stamina and Health Regeneration buff, they will not stack and the highest level buff will take priority for the remainder of the duration.

Buffs will show the active time remaining above the inventory screen. It will show m for minutes, s for seconds and t for tick.
