Elden Ring Equip Load Calculator

How to calculate Equip Load?

In Elden Ring, your Maximum Equip Load is primarily determined by your Endurance attribute. As you level up Endurance, your capacity to carry heavier armor and weapons increases. This base capacity can be further modified by specific equipment, such as the Great-Jar's Arsenal or Erdtree's Favor talismans, which provide percentage-based boosts to your total carry weight.

Max Load = Base Capacity + (Scaling × Endurance Modifier)

Using the Equip Load calculator: an example

Let's look at a character with 25 Endurance equipped with the Great-Jar's Arsenal talisman.

Step-by-step calculation:

• Determine Base Load: At 25 Endurance, your base Max Equip Load is approximately 72.3 units.
• Apply Multiplier: The Great-Jar's Arsenal adds a 19% boost. Calculation: 72.3 × 1.19 = 86.0 total Max Load.
• Identify Thresholds: To avoid a heavy roll, you must stay under 70% capacity (86.0 × 0.7 = 60.2 weight units).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is "fat rolling"?
If your current equipment weight exceeds 70% of your Max Load, you enter the "Heavy" weight class. Your dodge roll becomes significantly slower, covers less distance, and has fewer invincibility frames (i-frames).

How does weight affect stamina recovery?
Being in the Heavy weight category imposes a penalty on your stamina regeneration speed. Medium and Light loads allow for faster stamina recovery, which is essential for aggressive combat and blocking.

What is the benefit of light rolling?
By staying below 30% of your Max Load, you achieve a "Light Roll." This provides the longest travel distance and the most effective dodge animation for avoiding fast, tracking attacks from bosses.
