Health

Vitals Key

Your most important stats appear in the Vitals Key at the top left of your screen –– with these you can track your Pirate's Health, Voodoo Power, and Notoriety.

Health

As they say, if you haven't got your Health, you haven't got anything. You'll want to keep your Health topped up at all times. In a fight, you'll lose Health points every time an enemy's attack hits home. If your Health runs out, you'll be defeated and wake up to find yourself thrown back in jail by the Navy.

Your Health recharges slowly over time. If you need a quick boost -- during a fight, for instance -- drink a health tonic (Hot Key T) purchased from a Gypsy, or have one of your mateys heal you with a Voodoo spell. As your Notoriety increases, your Health point limit will also increase.

Game Tip: Increase your healing speed by applying Grenade skill points to your Determination Passive Skill.

Game Tip: Increase your Health point limit by applying Cutlass skill points to the Endurance Passive Skill.

Game Tip: Your Health recharges constantly, except when you're in battle. If your Health is getting low, you can drink a health tonic or avoid going into battle until it recharges.

Description

Health is needed to do everything in Pirates of the Caribbean Online, even walk around. If you have no Health remaining, you are sent to Jail and put on Groggy.

Groggy

Groggy is what you are when you lose all of your Health points, are sent back to Jail, and have a Notoriety Level of 10 or above.
Groggy lowers your Health and Voodoo by 20% for five (5) minutes, making this definitely something you don't want.
Groggy cannot be gotten rid of by any means other than just waiting it out.

Health Tonics

On Port Royal, Tortuga, Padres Del Fuego, and Cuba, there are gypsies. They sell health tonics which can be purchased using gold. To use Tonics, click on the tonic icon (or press "T") and it will give you health. Be wary of two things ... it takes awhile for your health tonic icon to recharge. Secondly, if you click on your tonic icon and it says, "No tonics left," you are out of tonics and luck. There's only one thing to do at this point ... run!

As soon as you're able, get to a local gypsy and stock up.

Alternate Ways of Healing

Different NPC will help you along your journey by selling a full healing. These full healings are usually given by townsfolk on main islands. They only cost G5 and can be extremely useful in times of need.
There are 2 Voodoo Doll spells, Heal and Cure, another player can cast on you to restore your health.
Another way to heal yourself is with the Voodoo Doll spell, Life Drain. With this you need to find an enemy to cast it on. It will transfer some of his health to yours.

Game Tip: When you wake up in jail, you will be groggy -- and both your Health points and Voodoo Power will be low. However, they will both recharge over a period of time.

Reviving a Mate

The other way to stay healthy enough to fight is to Revive a Mate. If you're defeated by an enemy, you can choose to go directly to jail or have a fellow Pirate revive you. It will cost them the same as a regular tonic, but if you're fighting in groups, chances are they need your help. If you're down and the timer runs out before someone revives you, then off to jail you go.
