Every work-related action in Moonlight Peaks consumes Stamina. When you are performing basic tasks such as digging, mining, or just simple chopping, your stamina will start to go down with each action. You can keep track of the stamina by looking at the purple bar on the top-left of the screen. Once the bar is nil, stamina is completely depleted; you will not be able to perform any task, as you will get the notification of being too tired to work. Here we will take a look at the ways to increase stamina in Moonlight Peaks.
What Consumes Stamina and What Doesn’t In Moonlight Peaks
Before we take a look at the ways to restore stamina, let’s focus on the actions that cost stamina:
| Consumes Stamina | No Stamina Cost |
| Digging | Watering your Crops |
| Mining Rocks | Refilling your Watering Cans |
| Chopping Trees or Logs | |
| If you miss while Swiping your net to catch bugs | |
| If you miss reeling the fish in the fishing minigame | |
| Shaking Trees | |
| Clearing the land of rocks and other kinds of debris | |
| Scythe to harvest a large patch of crops |
Ways to Recover Stamina
Here we will take a look at all the ways you can restore stamina in Moonlight Peaks.
- Sleeping to the Next Day: When you hit the sack to catch some sleep, the stamina will get replenished. Basically, you will have to wait until the next day to recover stamina.
- Cooking Food: Go through the recipes available for purchase and browse through the dishes that offer a high amount of stamina after consumption. It is the best way to recover Stamina in the game.
Tip: Hunt for Blood Tomatoes, Blood Oranges, and Blood Grapes to create recipes that focus on more energy restoration.
Here are some of the recipes to help you in the early session in the game, when you are running out of stamina quickly. Again, as I said, focus on Blood-related vegetable farming; they are excellent ingredients that go into making energy-focused dishes or recipes.
| Dish | Energy Recovery Number | Recipes |
| Gazpacho Soup | 40 Energy | Blood Tomato x2 + Onion x1 |
| Farmer’s Stew | 25 Energy | Blood Tomato x2 + Eggplant x1 |
| Violet Sashimi | 20 Energy | Violet Fish x1 |
Later in the game, I will recommend buying the Cooking for Vampires book for 2,500 coins; while a bit expensive, the content will be worth it, as most cooking recipes in the book focus on restoring your energy.
Note: You will unlock Moon Juice, which restores 50 Stamina, but I advise not to drink it as it is an ingredient that comes in very handy when creating expensive items that you can sell for thousands of coins. It also makes an excellent gift for any of the romanceable characters in the game.
- Buying Items: If your pouch is full of coins, then I will recommend buying Blood Orange Juice from Samael for 350 Coins. It restores a whopping 110 Energy upon consumption.
- Using Spells: Buying spells can easily cut down on your stamina consumption. Here are some helpful spells that you should prioritize to conserve stamina as much as possible in the game.
- Ethereal Axe I/II/II: Summon temporary helpers to chop logs or trees.
- Ethereal Pickaxe I/II/II: Summon temporary helpers to crush rocks.
- Ethereal Shovels I/II/II: Summon temporary helpers to dig spots on the ground.
Note: A better-tier spell upgrade will allow more temporary helpers, up to 5, to help you complete the chores.
- Using Potions: There are a variety of potions available that you can learn to take care of the chores without using any stamina.
| Potion Names | Effect |
| Fierce Forester Tonic | Chop wood without draining energy reserves |
| Frictionless Farming Tonic | Farm without draining energy reserves |
| Fluent Fishing Tonic | Fish without draining energy reserves |
Note: These effects are not permanent; there is a timer attached to the buff you will get from the potion, so keep an eye out for the timer. Once it runs out, it’s back to square one.
- Tool Upgrade: Get high-tier upgrades for your tool from Ridge at Howling Hammers. Upgrading the tool will also result in spending less stamina doing the work related to the use of the specific tool. If you upgrade the Pickaxe to the max, you will spend less stamina on mining gold, iron, or copper in the game.
- Modding: Infinite Energy: If you don’t want to engage with the stamina management mechanics, then you can install a mod to fix the issue by giving yourself infinite energy. This means you will never run out of energy in the game. Just download the mod and put it inside the game’s folder to make it work.
Get Scarlet Teardrop; these red crystals will help you gain your maximum energy. The team has updated the game to make stamina consumption less harsh than its original state. So we might get patches in the future cutting stamina or restoring it via various ways in Moonlight Peaks.
