Enshrouded Comfort Level — How Comfort and Rested Work

Comfort is a duration system, not a happiness meter. Understanding that one sentence explains everything else about it.

What Rested actually gives

The Rested buff sits in its own buff slot and raises maximum stamina and stamina regeneration, scaling with your character level — at level 50 that is +240 maximum stamina and +200 regeneration. Comfort does not touch these numbers. Comfort decides how many minutes the buff persists once earned.

The duration curve (verified)

Game data gives the exact formula: Rested minutes = 34 × ln(1 + 0.04 × comfort) + 5

The curve is logarithmic — early comfort points buy the most minutes. The Well Rested skill adds 2/4/6 minutes over its three levels on top.

The three earning conditions

You need all of these at once, where you are resting:

1. Sheltered — a roof over you (sitting or lying counts as sheltered on its own)
2. Warm — a heat source in reach, like a Hearth or flame item
3. Out of combat — no threats engaged

Then the buff charges: sleeping is fastest, then sitting, then standing. In the field, a campfire plus sitting earns Rested almost as well as a manor — the system rewards behavior, not architecture.

Why bases still matter for comfort

Inside your base, the best item of every comfort category counts no matter where you stand — so one well-furnished room upgrades the whole base. Out in the world, only items within about 15 meters count. Bases convert comfort from a local bonus into a global one.
