In-game description
How Vitality XP is gained
You gain XP when you kill enemies. On each kill, XP based on the enemy's max health (up to 1,000 per enemy).
Tips for leveling Vitality efficiently
- Any fighting style works: melee, ranged, magic or minions, as long as enemies die.
- Kills by burning give no XP, so land the final blow yourself.
- It rises together with your combat skills, so you rarely need to level it on purpose. The faster you kill, the faster it rises.
XP needed to level up Vitality
Total XP from level 0. Each level needs more XP than the one before it, so the last 25 levels take the longest. Every 5 levels give 1 talent point, and reaching level 100 gives 5 more (25 in total).
| Level | Total XP | Talent points |
|---|---|---|
| Lv.25 | 94,708 | 5 |
| Lv.50 | 411,097 | 10 |
| Lv.75 | 1,468,057 | 15 |
| Lv.100 | 4,999,038 | 25 |

Vitality talents
Spend the talent points you get from leveling up on these talents. Each effect is "value per point × points spent" (values from the talent data in the game's configuration files). You cannot fill every talent, but you can reset the points for 200 Ancient Coins and spend them again.
| Talent | Effect (per point) |
|---|---|
| Maxed out! | +6% of all skill points added to max health |
| Strong and healthy | +2% damage while at max health |
| Desperate fighter | +40% damage while at low health |
| Stayin' alive | Gain 0.2 health every sec while below half max health |
| Healing potency | +6% more healing from health over time regeneration |
| Lingering potions | Healing potions also heal for 6% of health gained from the potion over time |
| Protection of the Ancients | +3% reduced damage taken from bosses |
| Cheat death | +2% chance to restore a bit of health instead of dying when taking lethal damage |
