Health

[[images/hunter_status_bar)

The Hunter has 100 health and 100 stamina to start with. Both health and stamina can be increased to a cap of 150 with skills, food skills, hunting horn melodies, and items.

When hit, green health is depleted and a small amount of red health is left behind. Red health is temporary damage and will become green health naturally.

Health can be recovered by resting in the camp or consuming healing items. If the Hunter's health reaches 0, the player faints and [[carts|quest#carting]].

Stamina

Stamina is consumed when the player runs, roll, climb, or uses certain actions while wielding a specific weapons. Stamina recovers naturally when it is not being used.

During a quest, the maximum amount of stamina available to the Hunter will decrease after a fixed duration. Consuming a Well-done Steak will both recover stamina and increase the maximum amount of stamina the Hunter has, up to the stamina cap (150).

Attack

The attack attribute influences how much damage the player can do. Attack is determined by factors such as the equipped weapon and skills.

Display Multiplier

The attack value displayed in a Hunter's status screen is actually an inflated value that helps indicate the average damage per Be hit the weapon can deal.

In reality, all weapons have a true value (commonly referred to as "True Raw" and "True Element) and a displayed value ("Display Raw" and "Display Element"). The displayed value is calculated by taking the weapon's true values and multiplying it by a specific Display Multiplier. For example, if the Bow has a true raw of 100, and a display multiplier of 1.2, then its display raw (the value in the status screen) is 120.

All weapons of the same type share the same display multiplier. In general, slower weapons have a larger display multiplier, and thus show higher display raw/element values in the status screen, while faster weapons have a smaller display multiplier.

Defense

Defense reduces the damage players take when they are hit. The defense value is determined by equipped armor and skills. Some weapons may also provide bonus Defense.

Elemental Resistance

Some monster attacks have elemental damage components to them, and Elemental Resistance reduces the damage these attacks do on top of the damage reduction from Defense.

Additionally, these attacks may inflict elemental ailments referred to as Elemental Blights. Blights have detrimental, but temporary effects on the player. These effects can be reduced by Elemental Resistance, and having high Elemental Resistance can completely nullify an Elemental Blight.
