Energy


 * This article is about a player's ability to run rather than walk. For the article on a player's health, see hitpoints.



Energy (sometimes also called stamina) is a player's ability to run rather than walk around the landscape. It is displayed as a percentage on the options screen in the game, and shows how much longer a player can run. Players can switch this option on to run everywhere they go.

Using Energy
Energy starts at 100% by default, but decreases as the player runs around. The rate at which it goes down increases with the weight of the items they are carrying (i.e. items in the inventory and any items they are wearing or have equipped).

When the energy reaches 0%, the player can only walk until their energy recovers. The "run" option is also automatically switched off, if switched on at the time.

Recovering Energy
Energy gradually recovers (increasing up to a maximum of 100%) any time that the player is not running, i.e. walking or standing still. The rate at which it recovers increases with the player's agility level, but does not recover at all when the player is logged out of the game.

Energy can be recovered more quickly by using a number of items:

Useful Tips
Players can temporarily run even when this option is switched off by holding down the control (Ctrl) key on the keyboard when they click the mouse to select a destination. This can be very useful when an item appears on the ground; if the player holds down control and clicks on the item, then their on-screen character will automatically run to the item and pick it up.

Players may also find it beneficial to have the "run" option switched on when mining, as the small amount of energy they lose when running from one rock to another is more than regained when they are stood still mining the ore.
