How to increase stamina in Windrose

Wondering how to increase stamina in Windrose? Surviving isn't just about fighting off Blackbeard's army, keeping fed and watered, or just generally staying alive. It's also about blocking, parrying, running around… basically anything that you can do in Windrose requires you to spend some stamina.

When you start out in this survival game, you don't have much stamina, which can make getting around or surviving combat tricky. While you can always build fast travel points to save time, if you're struggling in fights or you'd rather explore on foot or by getting a ship, here's how to increase stamina in Windrose.

Here are a few different ways to increase your Windrose stamina:

Food

Certain recipes provide stamina when crafted at a cooking station. You can check which recipes provide different stats in the cooking station menu. New recipes unlock when you find ingredients, so the more you explore, the better your chances are of finding endurance-boosting recipes, including recipes like Hearty Egg Broth and Coconut Soup that increase agility.

Leveling up

Leveling up your character can take a long time, requiring you to complete missions, explore points of interest, and fulfill objectives like killing a certain number of enemies to gain experience points. Once you level up, you can put any earned stat points into Endurance to increase your overall stamina.

Talent points

Talent points can be earned by leveling up your character, and unlike stat points, they delve into the combat, gear, and role of your character. It's best to spend these once you've got a feel for the type of weapon you like, but when you level up, you'll immediately gain talent points you can put into a few useful stamina-saving skills, including:

• Agile: Dash and Jump actions consume 15% less Stamina.
• Marathon Runner: Grants 20 additional Stamina.

Gear

Gear sets are another way of granting extra stamina, but you won't come across these sets until you're around level three or have explored more of the map beyond the initial islands. There are also certain items, such as pendants and rings, that decrease stamina spent from performing actions.
