Each increase in Combat Level adds 5 HP ([[health]] points) to the player's health meter, with the exceptions of levels 5 and 10. Health points are only increased when levelling up to levels 5 or 10 if the Fighter and Defender professions are chosen. Level-ups may also add [[Crafting]] or [[Cooking]] recipes. Unlike other skills, there is no [[Skills#Proficiency|proficiency]] effect from this skill since [[weapon]]s do not require energy.

During the first few days in Stardew Valley, [[the Mines]] are closed due to an accident by [[Setting#Joja Corporation|Joja Corporation]].  On or around day 5, the player will receive a letter in the mail from Joja Corp, explaining that the landslide blocking the mines has been cleared, and the mine entrance will be open.  At this point, combat becomes available to players. An exception is those who chose the [[Farm Maps|Wilderness Farm]], which starts with monsters at the first night.
