FAQ

What are Elden Ring Items?

Items in Elden Ring include all the things you can pick up; swords, upgrade materials, runes, armor, consumables - all of it! Items can be obtained from Boss & Enemy drops, looting them from the ground, chests or bodies, or for completing Quests and trading with NPCs.

What are Builds in Elden Ring?

Builds in Elden Ring are similar to those in other soulslike or RPG games: your character has a wide range of attributes, like strength, vigor or faith that they can level up, which allow them to wield different weapons, use various magics, or haul around huge and heavy sets of armor.

Everything plays into your build, including every piece of gear you wear, every Talisman you use, and every Weapon you swing around.

What are some examples of good Elden Ring builds?

There are tons of great builds in Elden Ring, but some are still a cut above. For instance, Bleed Builds tend to be very, very strong in pretty much any content.

Arcane is a great skill as it scales up bleed proc damage, and can also be used to wield strong, albeit gimmicky weapons like Morgott’s Cursed Sword or the Marais Executioner Sword, both of which benefit just as much from Arcane as they do Strength and Dex, which you’ll also level if you’re running a bleed build.

Most bosses are very weak to bleed, and coupled with the Bloodhound’s Step Ash of War, it also makes for one of the nastiest PvP builds around.
