Vitality Summarised

1. Basic info at http://www.lineage2.com/guide/vitality_system.html

2. You gain Vitality Points the quickest if you are logged out (Alyra).
o Staying logged in a Peace Zone will still earn you Vitality Points, but not as quickly as being logged out.
o It doesn't matter where you log out -- the rate at which you earn Vitality Points is the same.
o It doesn't matter if you are dead while logged out -- the rate at which you earn Vitality Points is the same.

3. Vitality Points are only depleted when you kill a monster that is not a raid boss or quest mob, but not while running around at TOI, trying to reach floor 114 (needs further testing). Note that kamaloka are not RB, thus you loose points, not gain.

4. Vitality points are calculated per character, not per account (Alyra).
Which means that it is a good idea to have a dwarf at your account. When you finish exp-ing, you can relog with your dwarf, arrange to sell/buy what you need, then go to sleep. Your main char will gain vitality points all night through!

5. Karma drops faster when vitality level is higher.
This is because karma drops based on the number of exp points gained.

6. The "Energy Points" earned when killing an RB are actually "Vitality Points", which are counted towards increasing your vitality level sooner (Alyra).

7. Once you reach a certain number of Vitality Points, you get bumped to the next Vitality Level.

8. The Vitality level affects both the XP and SP. So if you get have vitality x3, that means that you get triple the XP AND the SP for hunting a given mob.

This text will be updated as soon as we have additional info. Please post your ideas and we will incorporate them.

Info gathered from related posts at the lineage2.com forums and endless testing.
The addition of the "Alyra" mark means that the specific piece of information was given by Alyra, the official voice of NCSoft.

Yesterday I dropped from four to three bars after getting 2% exp (15 mobs or so), while right after Gracia launched it took something in the order of 20% to drop one bar.

Eventually I guess someone will come up with a good theory on how this works, until then I don't really care about the details and just enjoy the boost.

Here is the explanation. While you are logged out you regained vitality points up to level 4 base, not level 4 maximum.
For argument's sake, let's assume that Vitality level ranges are:
lvl 1: 0-99 vitality points
lvl 2: 100-199 vitality points
lvl 3: 200-299 vitality points
lvl 4: 300-400 vitality points

When you went up from vitality level 3 to 4, you probably made it to around 305 points, and after grinding a little you went below 300.
If you had logged out for a longer period and maxed your vitality to 400 points, it would have lasted much longer in the level 4 range.

The Vitality level affects both the XP and SP. So if you get have vitality x3, that means that you get triple the XP AND the SP for hunting a given mob.
