Just a small note: Lost Ark will sometimes refer to Life Energy as Work Energy and vice versa. Both terms mean the same thing.
What is Life Energy in Lost Ark? Answered
Whenever you find a mining node or fishing spot in Lost Ark and harvest the resources from it, you spend Life Energy. It’s a limited pool, just like health or mana. Once it’s depleted, you cannot gather resources anymore until your Life Energy regenerates. Any time you’re foraging, logging, mining, hunting, fishing, or excavating, Life Energy will be spent. Each trade skill requires varying degrees of Life Energy.

Every player is given 10,000 Life Energy to start. If you want more, you’ll have to improve your Roster Level. Also, keep in mind that your Life Energy is shared amongst every character you have on a single server.
How to Restore Life Energy
Normally, you can simply wait for your Life Energy to fill back up. You’ll regain 30 Life Energy every 10 minutes. However, you can also purchase consumables that fill significant portions of the Life Energy by spending Royal Crystals in Lost Ark’s in-game shop and occasionally from quests. Just like any consumable in the game, you can right-click on one to use it. Consumables that restore Life Energy:

And that wraps up what Life Energy is in Lost Ark. An effective way to spend your Life Energy is to park your characters in resource-heavy areas, so knowing where the best places to level up foraging, for example, is valuable.
