Enshrouded: How to Get and Extand the Rested Buff

The rested status in Enshrouded is an extremely useful buff you should always have active. We explain everything you need to know about it.

Highlights:

• When you are rested, you have significantly more stamina.
• The more comfortable your base is, the more you can improve your rested status.

This is the Rested Buff in Enshrouded

In the top left-hand corner of the screen, directly below your life and mana bar, you will find information about your rested status.

To obtain the rested buff, your character must meet three conditions:

1. Sheltered: You must be in a protected environment, for example under a roof.
2. Warmth: A fire should be burning in the immediate vicinity
3. Comfort: The higher the quality of the surrounding furniture, the higher your comfort level.

If all three requirements are met, your character is rested. The comfort level determines the length of time your rested buff lasts. The higher the comfort level, the longer you stay rested. You can increase your comfort level by placing higher-quality beds and furniture in your home. Decorations in your base will also further increase the comfort level. You can also skill the "Well-rested" skill point in your skill tree. This increases your buff by another five minutes.

Tip: You don't have to go home every time to refresh your rested status. You can also do this at any Ancient Spire. To do this, stand next to the outer edge of the circle surrounding the flame (see screenshot).

You have to be in exactly the right place! Just try it out a bit and you'll soon master the trick. Note, however, that although this trick renews your buff, it doesn't last as long. This is because the comfort level is lower in a spire.

Why This Buff is so Important

By far the most important effect of the buff is that you have significantly more stamina when you are rested. With a correspondingly high comfort level, you can push your stamina to almost 300 percent. More stamina gives you numerous advantages:

• Well rested, you can cover longer distances with your glider.
• You can mine resources faster and gain experience more quickly.
• You are on the safe side in heavier and longer fights because you can reliably flee and evade.

In addition to increased stamina, you also benefit from better regeneration as long as your rested status is active.
