Introducing Fatigue.
When you mine, craft, fish, dig, etc, you get tired. Your fatigue bar slowly fills up red (or drains down to red depending on how you look at it). If it's all red, you become too tired to do anything. The lower it goes the tireder you get, so you'll start hallucinating, or making more mistakes.
But all is not lost! Your fatigue slowly drains as you walk, giving you more energy. Plus, your fatigue bar will completely clear when you:
-Defeat an enemy
-Raise a rank in any merchant skill or class
-Complete any quest or chapter
Some states make your fatigue drain faster or slower.

Why is the bar where it is? Well, it's out of the way, and lines up with the desert hud.
