You will continue to build this character throughout the game and determine in which direction you want to improve it.
Looting in Elden Ring – Equipment, skills, crafting
This is the loot available: In addition to the progression system through level-ups, equipment also plays an important role in Elden Ring.
The choice of your weapons, shields, armor, spells, and summons is essential to prepare you for the threats in the Lands Between.
Fortunately, there is a huge selection of weapons, of which 13 categories are known so far:
- Daggers
- One-handed swords
- Great swords
- Curved swords
- Katanas
- Double blades
- Maces
- Axes
- Spears
- Great spears
- Light bows
- Staves (for magic)
- Holy seals (for summons)
Weapons differ in shape, size, certain abilities, and scaling. Some weapons are particularly suitable for strength builds while others are more intended for dexterity builds.
You can find or buy weapons in the game world; in Dark Souls, you could also create them using boss souls. It’s possible that this will also be the case in Elden Ring. Most likely, weapons can also be upgraded with the appropriate upgrade materials.
While some weapons come with fixed skills, there are also abilities you can find in the world and combine with various weapons.
Additionally, there are numerous armor sets split into light, medium, and heavy armor. How agile you are with heavy armor depends on your strength value. Here too, equipment influences which build you can play.
Crafting also plays a role in Elden Ring. Thanks to materials you find in the game world, you can create healing items, arrows for your bows, and other things.
How much looting and leveling is there in Elden Ring?
Especially regarding the aspect of loot, there are several things to find in the game world. Here’s an overview of the mechanics:
- Choice from various classes
- Level-ups grant skill points for the 8 attributes of your character
- There are countless different build possibilities
- Loot in the form of weapons and armor that strongly influences your playstyle
- Upgrade materials for your equipment
- Weapon skills that can have powerful properties
- Crafting materials to create useful items
Elden Ring therefore offers you the opportunity to find loot, improve your character, and level up at all times.
Of course, you must prepare for setbacks during your travels. Your enemies will not make it easy for you to explore the world.
The most important factor in games like Dark Souls or Bloodborne has always been the player’s own skills. If you master the game well, equipment and build are almost secondary. So practice diligently and don’t let the difficulty level get you down at first.
Elden Ring offers several features that should satisfy fans of the “looting & leveling” principle. However, it will not become an MMO.
Nonetheless, these mechanics may also be interesting for players who usually seek this in MMOs. Furthermore, Elden Ring still has several multiplayer features.
Elden Ring is not a real MMO, but it has multiplayer
These are the multiplayer features of Elden Ring: The action RPG comes with a co-op mode and PvP. Thus, you can fight against other players and also defeat bosses together with them.
In co-op mode, you can either call other players to your world for help, or be summoned by other players to help them. You can team up with up to two other players.
In PvP, you can either duel or invade the worlds of other players as an “invader” and attack them.
For both multiplayer features, you need specific items that you must find in the game. Thus, it’s not a seamless multiplayer with a group function, like you know from many other co-op titles. You can find all the info about co-op and PvP in our special on Elden Ring’s multiplayer.

Elden Ring is a demanding action RPG with various mechanics such as classes, crafting, equipment, and multiplayer. But how much looting and leveling is involved? MeinMMO presents the features we already know.
This is what to expect in Elden Ring: The latest action RPG from developer FromSoftware offers the Lands Between, a vast, dark fantasy world that you can explore freely.
In doing so, you choose between several classes and improve your character throughout the game. This is done by increasing your attributes through level-ups and choosing your equipment.
Since MeinMMO traditionally focuses more on multiplayer games and MMOs where looting and leveling are emphasized, we asked ourselves: How much of that is in Elden Ring? Here we give you an overview of the mechanics.
Leveling in Elden Ring – Collecting runes and improving attributes
This is how you level up your character: The progression system of Elden Ring is heavily oriented towards earlier titles from the developer, such as Dark Souls or Bloodborne. For every defeated foe, you collect so-called runes, which serve as experience points but also represent the currency of Elden Ring.
- If you have enough runes, you can use them for a level-up. With each level, the amount of runes you need for the next level-up increases.
- With each level-up, you can distribute a skill point to one of the 8 attributes
- If you die before you can redeem the runes, you lose your experience at the spot where you died.
- You then have a chance to get your runes back by returning to that spot and collecting them.
- If you die on the way, you lose the runes completely. You have to start over from zero.
At the start of the game, you create a character using the extensive editor and set your class. You can choose one of 10. Each class differs in its equipment and the distribution of its attributes.
These attributes are important because they influence the orientation of your combat style and which equipment or spells you can use.
These 8 attributes are:
- Vigor
- Mind
- Endurance
- Strength
- Dexterity
- Intelligence
- Faith
- Arcane
For example, the enchanted knight starts at level 5 and has more points in intelligence and strength, making this class a hybrid for magic and melee combat.
Crafting also plays a role in Elden Ring. Thanks to materials you find in the game world, you can create healing items, arrows for your bows, and other things.
