'''Hydration''' is a [[Dragonwilds:player]] attribute which determines how thirsty they are - if a player is low on hydration, their [[Dragonwilds:stamina]] regeneration will be negatively affected. To increase hydration, players can drink water or [[Dragonwilds:infusions]].
[[File:Hydration gauge.png|thumb|The hydration gauge as seen in game bottom left corner of screen]]

==Effects==
* The maximum Hydration a player can have is 100. Attempting to consume another drink will make the top of its in-game infobox say, '''CANNOT CONSUME'''.
* Immediately after taking a drink for hydration, the player receives an invisible [[Dragonwilds:perk]] (buff) that stops the degradation of Hydration for 60s.
** Interestingly, this timer begins upon clicking the drink and starting the [[Dragonwilds:Inventory|use delay timer]] of 2s, not after this delay is completed, as one would assume. In this way, the buff is only 58s long + the 2-second use delay timer.
* Hydration status slowly dwindles over time. When equal to or less than 25/100, Hydration dwindles at half the rate:

{| class="wikitable sortable"
!Hydration level
!Dwindle rate
|-
|>25/100
|(1/11)/s, or 1pt/11s
|-
|≤25/100
|(1/22)/s, or 1pt/22s
|}
This means going from 100-0 hydration takes 1,375s (22m 55s).

* If the player has less than or equal to 25/100 [[Dragonwilds:Rest]], Hydration will dwindle more quickly (1s faster per point lost at base rate):

{| class="wikitable sortable"
|+≤25/100 Rest
!Hydration level
!Dwindle rate
|-
|>25/100
|(1/10)/s, or 1pt/10s
|-
|≤25/100
|(1/20)/s, or 1pt/20s
|}
At this rest threshold, the player would instead go from 100-0 Hydration in 1,250s (20m 50s)
* Every 25 hydration will increase the player's natural stamina regeneration:
{| class="wikitable sortable"
!Hydration level
!Stamina regeneration
|-
|100/100
|6.0/s
|-
|75/100
|4.5/s
|-
|50/100
|3.0/s
|-
|25/100
|1.5/s
|-
|0/100
|0.75/s
|}
* Upon reaching 0 hydration, the player will start taking damage until reaching 1 health; the player '''cannot''' die from having 0 hydration. The damage can stack with 0 [[Dragonwilds:Sustenance]], making the player's health drop more quickly to 1, however this still cannot kill the player.
** At 0 Hydration, the player will lose 1hp/s.
** At both 0 Hydration and 0 Sustenance, the player will lose 2hp/s

* Like Sustenance, while at 0 Hydration, the player cannot use the spell [[Dragonwilds:Eye of Oculus]]. This means when [[Dragonwilds:Build Menu|building]] large structures or player homes with the use of Eye of Oculus, Hydration, and Sustenance items are required.
* Like with Sustenance but unlike Rest, upon [[Dragonwilds:death]] hydration will be reduced by 10/100, unless the player is already at or below 35/100; in this case, it will be reset to the minimum of 25/100.
* After a full night's rest, Hydration is reduced:
** 65-100: Hydration reduced by up to 40, randomly
** 25-65: Hydration reduced randomly by up to 40, to a minimum of 25
** 0-25: Hydration maintained at current value.

==Player Announcements==
Upon reaching certain thresholds of Hydration, a player announcement on screen will display:

25/100: ''Your throat feels dry. You could do with a drink of water.''

5/100: ''Your lips crack and your heart races from dehydration.''

0/100: ''You are critically dehydrated. Your body can't take much more of this.''
