    • Level 72 - 111 --> 105 + 40*((Lvl+79 - 150) / 40)
    • Level 112 - 161 --> 145 + 15*((Lvl+79 - 190) / 50)
    • Level 162 - 713 --> 160 + 20*((Lvl+79 - 240) / 552)
  • The formulas for calculating Vitality on Arcane are as follows:
    • Level 1 - 15 --> Lvl
    • Level 16 - 40 --> 15 + 15*((Lvl - 15) / 25)
    • Level 41 - 60 --> 30 + 10*((Lvl - 40) / 20)
    • Level 61 - 99 --> 40 + 10*((Lvl - 60) / 39)

      We'll all laugh at this now, but when the DLC drops some crazy Death Blight **** we'll cling to that cyst like our life depends on it. Because it will.

        I cant decide if the names for vitality and immunity should be switched. On one hand vitality fits much better with Hp and Vigor. But vitality doesn't make as much sense for resisting against posion and rot, and immunity or vitality could work for death blight resitance. Both ways work, I just can't decided which one makes more sense.

        • Noble's trousers, prophet's trousers, erramt sorceror boots, and traveling maiden boots are all tied at 51 vitality.

          Depraved perfumer gloves, traveling maiden gloves, noble's gloves and queen's bracelets are all tied at 28 vitality.

            Sooooo... Where do I get it? I'd look myself, but I'm a little too burnt out with the game to put in the effort.

              for the entire time this game has been out I thought vitality was resistance to being one shot by things.. “instant death” confused my tiny brain.

                  Yes, I understand fully, however "Resistance to death" is pretty funny within the context of a Soulslike.

                    Y'all Death is a status condition like curse in ds1 where you die instantly, vitality is the resistance to that

                      So this mechanic is the reason why I so frequently get hit down to exactly 1 HP? Did the other games have anything like this? Perhaps they wanted this as another "second chance" mechanic like resurrection in Sekiro.

                          Found the Pillory Shield in a secret dungeon that raises vitality by quite a bit, not that great stats but it got some fashion potential
