a ? about Vitality

[Kaishod]

Guess I'm still confused or never paid attn on my main about vitality.  How can I get it to 100%?  what is the fastest/less time consuming way to increase vitality?

[valkyrja]

The fastest way to get it to  100% is to not play that character.  It goes up .5% per hour, regardless of what you do.

[Cathars]

<p>The only thing that increases vitality is time.  Every hour on the hour, whether you're logged in or not, it goes up by a little over 0.5% (one week from empty to full).</p><p>It works like an employer who matches what you put into your 401k.  For every bit of combat exp you earn, the same amount will be pulled from your vitality pool, doubling the total amount earned from the fight.  A full bar of vatality is equivalent to one full level of reserve exp.  If you somehow managed to do a full level of combat exp in an hour you'd be exactly two levels higher with 0% vitality.  The numbers are weird at the newbie levels where all this is out the window.</p><p>Vitality is a *bonus* pool of exp.  Its there to help people who play less than their friends keep up in levels.  The person who plays even with no vitality will still level faster.  Things like quests and discovery do not pull from vitality.</p>

<p>Did SOE ever wind up implementing the idea they had to allow player-crafted furniture to speed up the accumulation of vitality if you logged out in your house?</p><p>Vitality just doesn't seem to last anymore for my tradeskill. =/</p>

[StormCinder]

<p>So, I understand vitality.  </p><p> Now, what do you call the blue bar beneath the XP bar?  It gets big bumps with each kill.  After about the 5-7th kill, it maxes out my HP and Mana, and resets.  Just curious what that's called and if there's a formula for it's accumulation (XP-based?)</p><p>SC</p>

[valkyrja]

That is your XP bar.  Each bubble of the bottom one is 1% XP, the bubble of the top one is 10% XP.  This is how you can see that you have 23%XP for instance.  Every 10% of XP gain, you get a mini-ding which refills your health and power.

<p>  Noticed in your sig that your 'main' is lvl 70. </p><p>Not sure if vitality is turned off right at lvl 70 ding or vitality bonus exp. off after the first 50 ach. points. </p><p>Just know that there is no vitality (and no double experience from quests/kills towards ach. points) on my lvl 70. You can mouse over the vitality spot and it's always zero. no double exp. sure makes the casual game a slow casuallll drag to me <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

Vitality is only for adventure and tradeskill leveling, thus when you are a level 70 adventurer you no longer need adventure vitality. It has nothing at all to do with AAXP which is completely independent.

also if you turn off combat xp you'll notice your vitality will grow even when playing. Mine is off and my vitality is at 100% all the time
