Stamina System

Your character’s energy in Grand Bazaar is called Stamina. Nearly every action drains stamina, from watering crops to catching bugs.

This page covers everything you need to know about the game’s Stamina mechanic, including how you lose stamina and how to efficiently increase your stamina to achieve more each day.

The Stamina Gauge

Your Stamina is displayed as a gauge in the top-left corner of the screen.

Its color changes based on how much stamina you have left, giving you a quick visual cue of your condition.

A warning message also appears in the center of the screen when your Stamina drops to 50% and 20%.

If your Stamina reaches 0, your character passes out on the spot and the day immediately ends.

Gauge Color	Stamina Remaining	Warning Message
Green	100-51%	–
Yellow	50-21%	“You’re starting to feel tired.” (This message only appears the first time the gauge turns yellow on a given day.)
Red	20-1%	“You feel like you might pass out…“

Action Costs

Every action you perform consumes your Stamina bar.

You start the game with a max of 1,000 stamina points, and each action reduces your stamina by X number of points, varying based on the action.

Using Your Farming Tools

The amount of stamina you lose by using your tools varies by action type: Default (single tile), Jump (affects a wider area), or Double Jump (covers the widest area).

The table below lists each tool or farm action you can take, along with how many stamina points you lose each time you use that tool in any of the three action types.

Ways to Recover Stamina

Sleeping

Going to bed fully restores your Stamina.

But going to bed too late can delay your wake-up and slightly reduce how much Stamina you recover.

Bathing

Bathing in your home bathtub is a free way to recover your Stamina.

You can use it once every 8 hours, and each session takes up 30 minutes in-game.

Taking a bath restores 500 Stamina points by default, and you can boost it to 1,000 points by purchasing the Bathtub Power Up from Garon’s Construction for 112,600 G.

Eating Food

Eating crops, cooked dishes, or other edible items is the fastest way to recover Stamina on the go.

You can check any item in your Bag Menu to see roughly how much stamina it can restore when eaten.

Food Buffs for Stamina

Certain recipes can grant you a temporary status buff that affects your Stamina.

These stamina-focused effects are listed below, though we have a separate page with a full list of all recipe buffs.

Stamina Saver Lv. 1-4

This buff reduces the amount of Stamina points you consume per action.

Level	Stamina Saved Per Action	Recipes
Lv. 1	−2	Herb Salad Mixed Salad Turnip Salad Tomato Salad Honey Juice
Lv. 2	−5	Marinated Peppers
Lv. 3	−10	Guacamole Salad Kinpira Gobo
Lv. 4	−20	Macaroni Salad

Max Stamina Up Lv. 1-4

This buff temporarily raises your maximum Stamina above its current cap.

Level	Max Stamina Increase	Sample Recipes
Lv. 1	+200	Boiled Egg Chilled Tofu Fried Egg Fried Mushrooms Fried Tofu
Lv. 2	+400	Baguettes Buttered Potato Focaccia Bread Hash Browns Rolled Egg
Lv. 3	+600	Buttered Roll Scones Steamed Bun Stir-Fried Vegetables Stuffed Cabbage
Lv. 4	+1,000	Morel Cream Stew Quiche

Power Berries

Your initial Stamina is 1,000 points at the start of the game.

Every Power Berry you eat permanently increases your max Stamina by +100 points, up to a maximum of 2,000 total stamina ponts.

So it’s worth eating any Power Berries as soon as you get them.
