Darkfall Online: Information on Stamina Regeneration

There are some information leaked on how the stamina regeneration system works.

 

I have done some experiments on how fish (the only food I can currently reproduce) affects stamina regen.

All numbers are relative as people have different stamina bars, different resting skills and so on. Since it's hard to measure exact numbers (need to keep track of stop watch, perfectly drained stamina bar, eating food and using the sit skill) these are rounded off, but they are pretty accurate still. Not trying to prove anything, complain or suggest. Just sharing the data.

• My full bar of stamina is 236.
• My resting skill is just above 30.

These are the fish types I've tried, they all increase stamina regeneration by the same amount:

• Cooked cod - Lasts for 120 seconds | Regens 120 stamina in that time
• Grilled swordfish - Lasts for 120 seconds | Regens 120 stamina in that time
• Tasty herring - Lasts for 120 seconds | Regens 120 stamina in that time
• Smoked salmon - Lasts for 120 seconds | Regens 120 stamina in that time
• Cooked Trout - Lasts for 120 seconds | Regens 120 stamina in that time
• Smoked Bass - Lasts for 120 seconds | Regens 120 stamina in that time

While standing up without any food, I regen 60 stamina in 120 seconds.
While resting without any food, I regen 120 stamina in 120 seconds.

While standing up and eating fish, I regen 120 stamina in 120 seconds.
While resting and eating fish, I regen 120 stamina in 120 seconds.

• Stamina regen with fish (standing/walking): 1 stamina/second
• Stamina regen with fish (resting): 1 stamina/second
• Stamina regen without fish (resting): 1 stamina/second
• Stamina regen without fish (standing/walking): 0.5 stamina/second

It seems the stamina regeneration bonus from fish doesn't add to the resting bonus, in fact resting and not eating (or eating, for that matter) gives the same regeneration rate as walking/standing around and eating. Don't waste your fish sitting down!

As we'll see, the regeneration isn't quite the fastest one, as it seems stamina will be an important attribute to care of. As for all who don't know: You need stamina for all actions in Darkfall, like Sprint, Block, Cast or wield with a weapon. No Stamina basically means, you're dead because you're unable to do anything!
