Notes

  • Unlike many health regeneration items, which directly increase health gained per second, the Vital Crystal speeds up the natural health regeneration ramping by 20%.[1]
    • For example, when only taking natural life regeneration into account, 5 seconds after taking damage, the player will receive the same amount of health regeneration that would normally take 6 seconds to reach.
