# Eternal Youth **Eternal Youth** is a [Keystone ](https://poedb.tw/us/Keystone) [[passive skill]] which causes [[energy shield]] recharge to apply to [[life]], but halves your life [[regeneration]] and life [[leech]]. ## Mechanics Your life recharge rate is dependent on your total life pool, not your energy shield pool. Modifiers to energy shield recharge, such as <span class="text-mod">faster start of energy shield recharge</span> and <span class="text-mod">increased energy shield recharge rate</span>, apply to life recharge instead. [[Wicked Ward]] prevents life recharge from being interrupted. Life recharge is not prevented by <span class="text-mod">Cannot Recharge or Regenerate Energy Shield</span>, thus players with both Eternal Youth and Immortal Ambition can still recharge life. Like energy shield recharge, life recharge is active by default unless interrupted, and is not interrupted unless damage taken is dealt to the affected resource - thus a player wearing [[Shavronne's Wrappings]] can use this keystone to enable them to spend life on skills in the same way that a life-based character might use [[Eldritch Battery]]. ## Location The keystone is located on the bottom side of the center, right across the life wheel next to the [[Scion]]'s starting point. <div><table style="text-align: center"> <thead><tr> <th>Class </th> <th>Distance from start </th></tr></thead><tbody> <tr> <td>[[Scion]]</td> <td>8 </td></tr> <tr> <td>[[Duelist]]</td> <td>10 </td></tr> <tr> <td>[[Marauder]]</td> <td>10 </td></tr> <tr> <td>[[Ranger]]</td> <td>14 </td></tr> <tr> <td>[[Templar]]</td> <td>14 </td></tr> <tr> <td>[[Shadow]]</td> <td>18 </td></tr> <tr> <td>[[Witch]]</td> <td>18 </td></tr></tbody><tfoot></tfoot></table></div> This keystone can also be obtained from the tree by using a legacy [[Glorious Vanity]] jewel with modifier <span class="explicitMod">Bathed in the blood of (100–8000) sacrificed in the name of **Zerphi**</span>. The jewel will conquer any keystones within the radius (size: 1500) of the jewel. ## Related unique items - [[Skin of the Lords]] <span class="explicitMod">Random Keystone</span> - [[Mahuxotl's Machination]]
