Asura	Health increasing! Vitality restored!	Invigorating!
Charr	Back in fighting condition. That feels good.	Healthy and hale!
Human	That feels good.	I feel good.

Version history

Patch	Changes
October 26, 2021	Positive percentage-based enhancements now display with a "+." For example, swiftness now displays "+33% Movement Speed" instead of "33% Movement Speed."
October 05, 2021	Fixed a bug causing duration-stacking boons to be affected by a hidden stack limit of 9, which in some cases could come into effect before stacking to that boon's expected duration cap. This resulted in some boons having a lower total duration than expected. This hidden stack limit has been removed for duration-stacking boons that also have a maximum duration—alacrity, fury, protection, quickness, resistance, resolution, swiftness, and vigor.
May 11, 2021	Duration-stacking boons and conditions now behave consistently. They directly stack durations added from all sources, do not have hidden stack limits, and generally have shorter maximum durations. (30 seconds)
February 06, 2018	Reduced the bleeding inflicted from 3 stacks for 10 seconds to 2 stacks for 8 seconds when this boon is converted into a condition.
October 18, 2016	The duration-based boons Protection, Quickness, Regeneration, Resistance, Retaliation, and Vigor will now only stack up to 5 times instead of 9.
January 26, 2016	Vigor and other endurance-regeneration effects (such as traits) now stack up to a maximum of 100% bonus regeneration rate.
June 23, 2015	Specialization update: The endurance regeneration rate of this effect has been decreased from 100% to 50%. Condition to Boon Conversion: Vigor converts to 3 stacks of bleeding for 10 seconds (+2 stacks).
August 28, 2012	Game release: Vigor has been added to the game.

Trivia

• Vigor is the only boon that provides no benefit to NPCs.
