Energy is the biggest strategic element of the game. Every action you do requires you to use energy. The maximum amount of energy you have is determined by your level, you get 1 additional energy max for each level, until you reach the energy cap (currently set at 40).

Restoration
Energy is restored at a rate of +1 every 3 minutes. The timer stops ticking if your current counter is equal or above the cap (40). The timer will reset and start ticking once you drop below the cap with the current counter. Note that the screen energy counter does not reflect the current energy counter; chained orders are reflected on the screen counter but not on the current counter!

Extra Energy
There a numerous ways to acquire extra energy shoots, the higher level you get, the more options are available. This may cause you to temporarily exceed your cap, i.e. you could have 50/40 energy (balance/cap).

Common

Visit neighbors - change to get 1 energy per visit. There is a 10-energy per day limit.
Level up - a full energy boost is added when you go up a level.
Monsters - If you are fighting Monsters, there is a chance they will drop 1-energy when you hit them. They will always drop energy when you defeat them. Sometimes you will end up with more energy than you used to defeat them (and sometimes not).
Harvest crops - you must have the 3rd Knowledge Shard (Agricultural) from the Tablet of Tabernum. Players below level 10 also get energy from harvesting. Some Fortunes provide the same temporary benefit.
Energy Crates - Can be obtained by certain adventures, timed events or other Storm8 gifts. The energy crates can be stored or chopped immediately. Crates of 10-, 25- or 50-energy exist.
Buy - you can purchase additional energy with gems. The regular offer is 5-energy for 10 gems; 12-energy for 20 gems; 30-energy for 50 gems.
Promotion Packs - you can purchase promotion packages from time to time with energy boosts. Those require real money.
Goals - some goals can boost your energy or provide an unlimited pool of energy for a limited time. Most common in the Weekly Warrior goal (timed goal on Thursday before the new event) providing in 3 stages: 30 energy, 10-20 minutes unlimited 2x times.


Buildings

Keep / Courts / The Barracks - Energy will drop when you collect from regular adventures. The Feral Lands adventure has been known to drop 10-Energy Crates (special box drop). Special adventures or timed event adventures do not always drop energy.
Royal Exchange - 2 energy trades to choose from.
Wizard School - available for gems in the market. Level 1 drops 6 energy/5 hours; up to Level 5 drops 10 energy / 4 hours and 20 minutes.
Greenhouse - craft "Faerie Elixir" for an instant 20-energy drop. Craft "Grow Faeriebulb Seeds" for a good chance of a 4-8 energy drop.
Daily Market - Some daily goals offer energy rewards
Trade Wagon - All trades will yield 4-8 energy
Lucky Workshop - Often drops energy when doing a trade
Wizard?s Portal - available in the Trade Wagon. Level 1 drops 4 energy / 5 hours; Level 5 drops 8 energy.


Animals

Sir Pigglesworth - Very rare drop of 30- or 40-energy.
Alicorns/Rouncey/Destrier - drops 40-energy every 7 days.
Pink Alicorn ("Pali") - drops between 4-8 energy every 22 hours. Reported rare energy drops of 10, 20, 50 and 100.
Wedding Alicorn ("Wali") - drops between 4-8 energy every 22 hours. Reported rare energy drops of 100.
Glimmeregg Alicorn ("Gali") - drops between 4-8 energy every 22 hours. Reported rare energy drops of 100.
Dragons - occasional drops of 5 energy
Alicolt - +5 Energy, +10 Energy
Glimmer Alicorn - drops between 4-8 energy every 22 hours. Reported rare energy drops of 10, 20, or 40.
Skelecorn - drops between 4-10 energy every 22 hours.
Others - various event grand prizes offer energy drops. Mostly daily.


There is also an entry in the Inventory Guide (https://forums.storm8.com/showthread.php?76375) under E for Energy (https://forums.storm8.com/showthread.php?76375&p=1025266&viewfull=1#post1025266) which has a comprehensive list of all energy droppers too.

Statistics
Average 24h net yield for some decoration class items:

22h Droppers: 3,92
24h Droppers: 5,18
7d Droppers: 5,81


22h droppers comes in a wide range of drop format, hence the volatility is much higher, however over a large number of droppers the number are more stable.

I have no gotten energy so far. However, generally come out of the fight with a zero sum energy loss.

Ok if you want to look at it that way...one energy lost to one energy gained

I was wondering if you get a small energy boost before the fight with the 500 coins.

New Wedding Alicorn Drop now. Seems to be the same as pink Alicorn.

I'd make couple of changes or add a few details to the first post.

First, the chance of getting energy from visiting neighbors does not seem small, in my experience. I haven't kept track, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was 50% up to the point where you hit your limit of ten for the day.

Second, the energy gain from fighting monsters depends on the monsters you face. In my experience, you can tend to expect a profit of 1-3 energy from trolls, expect a cost of 0-2 energy from wolves, and expect to roughly break even from skunkupines. But evidently the second taburnum shard gives more energy from fighting (I don't have it yet, so I don't know for certain how significant it is)

Third, it looks to me like the faerie elixir is a fools errand. Even if you had the materials to craft it and nothing else to do with them, it costs 16 energy from start to finish to get the reward of 20 energy.

Think of the fairie elixir as a way to use up excess inventory with a bonus of providing energy very quickly when needed.

ShibuyaCloth
02-17-15, 09:20 AM
Thanks,

I made the changes.

1) Neighbors, I need to visit more then 20 neighbors, I am close to 30 a day. I never really counted. I'll see to make some stats.
2) I have the second shard, so I get other results. With wolfs I tend to have a negative output. For me Skunkupine I have the best positive output. Pit Trolls (friendly trolls) have also a positive balance. Boars just tend to be a full drain.
3) The elixir is to off load your excess inventory. I used it when I really need a short term boost for something. It is expensive energy, but you can stockpile it. Regular energy not.

It is all a question of perspective. When you are so advanced in the game and have time to stock pile all you can you end up like this.

Now the picture in the game is slightly different as I converted all in dark seeds (so 360 now). Need to restock my glimmer bits now.

The good point is I can have 200 energy stocked in Elixir.

Hmmm, can we conclude that the Wedding Ali has the same properties as the pinky... To be confirmed.

The faerie elixir has helped me during all of the world events. I always stockpile it as many times events are huge energy drains.

For update day I always leave my beast with as close to one hit point away from death so I can also use it for a little bit of energy boost.

In the old version the timer was running, regardless of the current energy level. So if you where maxed in energy, you used 1, you could get one back in just a few seconds if lucky. Now it properly starts at 3 min.

Yes I should amend, I need to check how much we get. But it looks like a bit less then Dragons. My experience would put the range at 4-6.

A couple of weeks ago I got 40 energy from the trade, I was really surprised! Nicely surprised that one time!

I'm finding that when I buy extra energy or do the weekend warrior that I can use all my energy and then my 40 is topped off again, which is great. But lately that 40 is dropping after 6 - 10 hits to below 10 left and I'm counting my hits carefully. I brought this up as a bug and I've been told to contact my isp as they don't see an error on my game. So my question is this. Why is my energy dropping only at certain times? Why is no other game affected and why does it happen whether I am using my isp or Wi-Fi? Has anyone else experienced this?

I, too, have noticed that during the weekend warrior or after purchasing the unlimited energy value pack my energy does not fully restore to 40. It will state 40 at first but when I use a few energy it will drop from 40 to 29 or some other random number. This has been happening for about the last 6-8 weeks. I didn't bother reporting it, I figured S8 wouldn't do anything about it. Prior to that energy restored fully to 40, no problem; nothing has changed on my end - same device, internet provider, etc.

Updated page 1. But most important here some numbers:

Average 24h net yield for some decoration class items:

22h Droppers: 3,92
24h Droppers: 5,18
7d Droppers: 5,81


I have 6800 collection point for the 22h droppers, hence a fairly solid statistical value!
