==Maximum energy==
All professions, regardless of [[level]], have an innate capacity of 20 energy, and 2 [[pip]]s of energy regeneration. This is increased by armor, weapons, and in the case of elementalists, attributes. Nearly all professions' [[basic armor]] provides extra energy, and this can be further increased using [[Rune of Attunement|Runes of Attunement]] and [[Radiant Insignia]]s.

[[Energy Storage]], the Elementalist's primary attribute, can also increase maximum Energy by 3 per attribute rank. Maximum energy can also be increased by a [[Morale Boost]], [[consumable]]s (i.e. [[Birthday Cupcake]], [[Candy Apple]], and [[Grail of Might]]), [[blessing]]s (i.e. [[Chaotic Power]] and [[Disciple of Energy]]), and selective skills (i.e. [[Edification]]).

[[Overcast]] and [[Death Penalty]] decrease characters' maximum energy.

==Regeneration and degeneration==
'''Energy regeneration''', also known as '''energy recovery''', is the rate at which a character regains energy. Each [[pip]] of Energy regeneration generates 1 Energy every 3 seconds. All characters have a base Energy regeneration of 2, that may be modified by each profession's armor as described above. Hostile NPCs typically follow the same rule but have an additional pip of regeneration.

Some weapons and focus items cause energy degeneration as a drawback of their bonuses. Some Enchantments also cause Energy degeneration in the form of an [[Upkeep]] cost, which must be paid in order to maintain them.

Anything that changes maximum energy will also have an effect on current energy - in this way, it is possible for characters to have negative energy, although the [[UI]] will still indicate 0 energy. Energy will continue to regenerate at the same rate while it is below 0. [[Energy hiding|This mechanic]] can be used to avoid energy denial.

Though the conditions are rarely met, there is a regeneration/degeneration cap of 10 for energy. Although there is generally no additional penalty for energy degeneration beyond 10 pips, if you are [[enchantment spell#maintained enchantments|maintaining enchantments]], having 11 or more pre-cap energy degeneration will cause you to lose maintained enchantments until your pre-cap degeneration is brought down to 10.

Some [[List of energy-related skills|skills]] also provide additional energy regeneration or degeneration.

==Maximum possible energy==
It is possible for an [[elementalist]] to reach 136 maximum energy without using any skills, [[consumable]]s, [[Title (skill type)|titles]] or effects; by utilizing a combination of beneficial consumables, skills, and effects, energy can reach a maximum of 214.

==Notes==
*The "Seize the Day" [[inscription]] required for the maximum energy increase on the wand and the "Live for Today" inscription required for the maximum energy increase on the focus item both incur a -1 energy regeneration.
*A possible alternative is to use a one-handed martial weapon (i.e. spear) in combination with the focus item, and use the "I Have the Power!" inscription, as this gives the increase of 5 energy with no conditional requirements.
*The term ''Energy recovery'' is shown in the description of armor pieces, while the identical term ''Energy regeneration'' is used in the description of weapons and skills.

{{section-stub|Missing Renewing Memories and Spirit Siphon}}
*Similar to [[Duration#Approximation|duration]] effects, the percentage energy effects of [[Attuned Was Songkai]] are rounded up from 0.5.
*Unlike duration effects, the percentage energy effects of [[Auspicious Incantation]], [[Elemental Attunement]], [[Master of Magic]], and [[Quickening Zephyr]] are rounded down from 0.5.
*The percentage of energy recovered through Elementalist [[attunement]]s, except Elemental Attunement, are rounded, e.g. 3 energy is recovered from a 5 energy spell, and 6 energy is recovered from a 15 energy spell and so on.

== Trivia ==
*Before the [[Feedback:Game_updates/20120105#Elementalist|Elementalist Update]], [[Energy Boon]]'s maximum energy increase allowed for a maximum possible energy of 267.
