If you sacrifice 60 seconds of your life you can read that the following : Athletics: 14% , Courage: 10%, Serendipity: 5% , Avoidance: 6% are giving you hp skills and you get them by getting hit mostly by close combat mobs therefore doing the second most useless thing in this game after sweating which is running into mobs over and over dying to gain evader/dodger will actually grant you hp if time for you is absolutely useless.
