    I looked through the wiki and on the forum but couldn't find an article addressing my question.

    I've noticed that when I need healing and run through a healing orb, that I see a number in green indicating the HP that I've recovered. I never paid strong attention to that number but I've noticed that it varies.

    For example, one character of mine started in Ravencaw and was getting 699 HP back. Half way through "clearing" Ravencaw, that number changed to 700. Later that day, after taking a break, I went back in and the number was 675. Today, that number is 682. There was no change in armor, resistance, etc.

    Any idea what the HP regeneration is based on?

    I think it is like universal potions ... it is %
    Minor orbs heal something like 20% of your HP and the powerful 100% of your HP.

    And if my HP hasn't changed since the beginning of the run, nor from day one to day two, why would the numbers be so different? I didn't think the orbs were a random percentage but maybe they are?

    I think there is a buff from getting items and breaking barrels. I failed to check if it changes you hp. There is a pet that is 5% hp and food that gives hp. You should have received 5 food buffs from completing one of the spoiled egg quests.

    Many factors are affecting your HP: buffs, pets, your gear ......

    No buffs, same pet. Color me confused! I'll just run with it. :D

    I think there are three types of healing orbs: minor, normal and powerful.

    Yeah. I think I must just have had some kind of unknown, temporary buff (maybe from breaking open a barrel?) to change the number. These were all minor healing orbs.

    I did do the stats and it seems that the minor healing orb returns 19.97% of your HP. It might be a rounding issue to not get quite 20%. I didn't try the other orbs.

    Lol I tested it also. When 20% is a hole number you get 1 less hp.
    Thankx Dragoons I would have never batted an eye but it is nice to know.

    Since we're talking orbs, wouldn't it be nice to only take as much as you need instead of everything in an area? What I'm saying is:

    If you're missing 1000HP and there are 5 powerful orbs clumped together, you take them all when only one would do the trick.

    Plus 1 to that! Especially when I know I'm about to take more damage and need to heal a little but don't want to waste all of the orbs lying around.

    Wow, Trakilaki, it sounds like....you don't know. Is that possible? :oops:

    Seriously though, there's only 2 kinds of healing orbs from monsters, regular and powerful. There is something that's making the amount healed vary. BUt, like a few others posted, there's pets, buffs, barrels, etc....
