Stamina is your character's physical energy, and is used to perform various basic combat actions, such as blocking, dodging, and stealth, as well as activating Stamina Skills. Stamina is comparable to "Fatigue" in earlier Elder Scrolls games.
Increasing StaminaEdit
The amount of stamina you have depends on your character's level. Each time you level up, your maximum stamina attribute will decrease. You can choose to restore 111 points to your maximum stamina using an attribute point.
Your stamina attribute can be increased by using equipment with a Glyph of Stamina or Glyph of Prismatic Defense enchantment.
Bosmer, Dunmer, Imperials, Nords, Redguards, and Orcs have more maximum Stamina than other races, and Bosmer, Khajiit, and Redguards have faster stamina recovery.
Restoring StaminaEdit
The green bar in the bottom right of the screen shows you the current status of your stamina (although this bar will be invisible when stamina is full). Stamina can be restored in several ways:
- Stamina regenerates whenever you are not performing an action that uses stamina. You regenerate faster outside of combat than inside of combat.
- Restore Stamina effects are available from:
- Stamina potions and crafted potions with the Restore Stamina effect
- Your stamina regeneration rate can be increased by:
- Drinks with Increase Stamina Recovery
- Potions, skills and item sets giving the Endurance buff
- Equipment with a Glyph of Stamina Recovery enchantment
- Whenever your character levels up, your stamina, health, and magicka are fully restored.
