Choose Between Vigour Enchantment and Other Chestplate Enchantments

What Vigour Does

The Vigour enchantment on a chestplate increases your maximum stamina pool beyond what your health alone provides. Higher enchantment levels grant more bonus energy, making it ideal for players who prioritize mobility and long-distance travel.

When to Use Vigour

Choose Vigour if you:

• Frequently sprint or swim long distances
• Want to explore without stopping constantly
• Prefer mobility over defensive stats
• Travel through dangerous terrain where speed matters

Competing Priorities

You can only have one enchantment per chestplate, so decide based on your playstyle:

• Vigour = better stamina and movement
• Protection/Defensive enchantments = better damage reduction
• Other utility enchantments = various benefits

Balancing Strategy

Consider your current needs. Early game, defensive enchantments may save your life more often. Mid-to-late game, Vigour becomes more valuable as you explore larger distances and face less immediate danger. You can always enchant multiple chestplates and swap them as needed.
