About this converter
Darkest Dungeon town activities relieve fixed stress per visit, and this page compares 15 of them from Red Hook data. Abbey Meditation opens at 45 stress, Prayer at 55 and Flagellation at 65, with upgrades climbing each to 70, 86 and 100. Tavern mirrors the band with Drink, Gambling and Brothel at the same three steps. Figures come from the Darkest Dungeon Wiki Abbey and Tavern pages at base plus Increased Relief tiers. These relief rows stand apart from hero HP and gold price files. Resolve level moves gold costs but never the stress numbers.
How to use it
Pick two activities and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 Flagellation maxed against Meditation base to see the 100 to 45 gap. Then test Prayer maxed against Drink base to compare 86 stress with 45.
Abbey and Tavern share numbers by design, so Meditation matches Drink, Prayer matches Gambling and Flagellation matches Brothel at every tier. Flagellation also deals damage and inflicts a debuff alongside its relief, which the pure numbers hide. Only base and fully upgraded tiers feed most rows to hold the file at 15, with mid tiers in row notes where verified. Costs scale across Apprentice, Veteran and Champion resolve while relief stays fixed.
