What is fatigue?
Fatigue is a way to help curb daily adventures by limiting the amount of actions a player can take in a day. There is a maintenance period each night at midnight EST where the fatigue is reset for each player. While adventuring, fishing, running away, dying, and other actions like that, you'll accumulate fatigue. When you hit the limit, you've got to wait until the next day before taking more time to explore in Twelve Sands.
