Dryleaf Seal is a Sacred Seal in Elden Ring. It is found in the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. The Dryleaf Seal scales primarily with Strength and Faith and is a good Weapon for Faith casters wanting to use rings of light incantations and benefit from its powerful scaling.
Sacred seal of the spiritual seekers known as the Dryleaf Sect.
Enhances incantations which conjure golden rings of light.
Those who saw the decline of the Erdtree in the fallen leaves long ago braced themselves for the weakening of Order, and embraced a strict faith. And then, they made to serve a new god.
Where to Find Dryleaf Seal in Elden Ring
The Dryleaf Seal weapon can be found at the following location:
- Found on a ledge under a cave guarded by gravebirds in the area under Bonny Village. You can only reach this section by going through the secret passage in Shadow Keep and using the coffin there to transport to Ruins of Unte via Castle Watering Hole. From Ruins of Unte, make your way to the Recluses' River Upstream site of grace, then ride south along the cliffs. Cross the chasm and continue onwards, making your way to a small graveyard guarded by grave-birds. Near the ledge there is a game-message which indicates the point to drop down to find this item.

Elden Ring Dryleaf Seal Notes & Tips
- Weapon Skill: No Skill.
- This weapon cannot be infused with Ashes of War
- Dryleaf Seal can be upgraded by using Smithing Stones.
- Boosts golden rings of light incantations by 15% when equipped.
- It affects the following Incantations:
- This items effect stacks multiplicatively with other items that affect golden rings of light incantations.
- Equipping two seals increases damage by approximately 32%.
- Pairing the seal with the Golden Order Seal and Radiant Gold Mask increases the damage of the noted incantations by approximately 39%. Multilayered Ring of Light is not a Golden Order Incantation, so it does not benefit from these items.
- In some circumstances, it may be more efficient to maximize incant scaling and cast incantations with a more powerful seal, such as the Erdtree Seal, while holding the Dryleaf Seal in the offhand. This may apply to pure FAI or FAI/STR builds, who lack the INT to maximize their scaling with the Golden Order Seal, or those who've yet to acquire a second Dryleaf Seal.

The scaling is so poor that it's not really worth using two of these in NG+. Better to have one in your offhand and cast with a high scaling seal like the golden order one.

At 70 faith, Erdtree Seal has 313 incant scaling, while Dryleaf has 289.
At 71 faith, Erdtree Seal has 317 scaling, while Dryleaf has 290.
At 72 faith, Erdtree Seal has 321 scaling, Dryleaf 292.
It's like this seal hits a snag and stops scaling up as well, and barely beats out Erdtree only when casting its specific specialty, which isn't much. Fire Knight seal doesn't have this problem, it keeps scaling up fine. It seems as if this seal wants to budget around a mildly lower faith level, possibly one that's going a little heavier on endurance and mind than just pure faith. Perhaps a seal for the Flame Art/Sacred user, as faith infusions stop scaling as well as early as 50 faith.
I don't think that necessarily makes it a bad seal, and Multilayered Rings of Light is among the stronger pure holy spells if someone wants to build around it. Instead of hitting 80 faith with it, you settle for 60, and bam, 20 more levels to dump into mind, to hit the str/dex requirements and endurance demands of a Fire Knight Greatsword or Blasphemous Blade.

The other seals are rounded and smooth, but this one looks all spiky and pointy. It must really hurt to hold this in a clenched hand during a brawl..

This thing is busted for low level faith users. As one poster noted, 40 FAI is the high point before the GS takes hold but until then it outperforms everything BUFFS INCLUDED so just use this

This soft-caps at 40 faith with 244 incant scaling. No other seal scales this way, so it probably has its own curve like the Demi-Human Queen's Staff.

Not a bad seal use on my int faith Golden order & Gravaty build. Use in off hand a d cast with golden order, and for gravity Metiorite staff in off hand a d cast with prince of death works absolutely fantastic. Plus I use the new buffed Rellanas cameo with my sword of night and flame for some amazing comet and fire damage this build destroyed all bosses on my NG 7 run

Best pure faith seal between 27 and 50 faith. Perfect for weapon buffs or heals that scale only with faith. Also it allows you to use some of the best buffs in the game. Even if you are pure melee build this is super usefull.

Should be buffed to around 320 scaling at 80 fth. No reason fire knight seal is like 330 while this barely gets 300.

I just love how it looks and I'm gonna make a "golden" faith build (despite holy dmg being bad against many bosses) because of it. Who else? Lol

This seal is the most good looking one imo. I'll use it just for that lol

Loving this seal for my disciple of gold build. I only have enough int to use discus with goldmask/holy scorpion/dryleaf/erdtree seal and depending what im up against i do upwards to 1700x2 dmg with it. Going to test out with double seals once i start a ng+ as it should surpass erdtree seal then.

I'm at 80 faith. Erdtree seal +10 does 954 dmg. Dryleaf seal +25 does 943 dmg while using Multilayered rings of light. So Erdtree seal is still stronger.

FromSoftware be like: Damn these Int/Fth Incantations are cool, lets add a new Incantation of this type that only requires Fth and a Seal that boost Int/Fth Incantations but only scales off Faith.

I think that this could instead, be a seal that boosts servants of rot incantations or even crucible incantations, like bro we already got the golden order seal that boost those same incantations (minus multilayared rings of light). I get it that you don't need to spend points to int to make Golden order incantations good but you still need to meet the spell requirements. wasted potential imo
- Anonymous
So is this now better for rings than the golden order seal? Because to use all the rings you'd need to spec into int anyway, a stat that the GO uses for damage despite having a 5% less ring boost than dryleaf
- Anonymous
Despite not giving Light of Miquella a desperately-needed boost, still pretty good. Barely trails behind Godslayers' in incant scaling while boosting a spell that honestly doesn't need it.
Description was changed from miquella to golden ring incantations lmao. No chance of it boosting Miquellas light now

It’s bugged, so it doesn’t give the 15% bonus in pvp (like the golden order seal); if fixed, it could optimize golden order builds.

As a Golden Order Seal enjoyer, I’m really liking what I’m seeing here about the but hole seal in relation to the golden order incants. Tbh haven’t even got this seal on my int faith hybrid and the kit already slaps so I bet this will just be that much cooler.

If you are still needing to get a 2nd Dryleaf seal, the golden order will stack with the Dryleaf for some of these as well

It does not buff Light of Miquella and NEVER WILL.
without any buff , Light of Miquella already hit more than half of player health.
if you add +15% from helm , +15% x 2 from seal , it will oneshot any player in game at very far range.
dont forget another +20% from sword of light , +7.5% from vows , +15% from physics.

This seal is very good at around 40-50 faith, especially with healing incantations.
I’m using it fully upgraded at 42 faith (just enough to use Erdtree Heal) and each cast restores 1434 HP. Tested against other fully upgraded seals, Godslayer came in second at 1343 HP, and Erdtree seal in third at 1243 HP.
Given that it also boosts Discus of Light and Multilayered Ring of Light (both very good incantations), this seal is perfect for any pseudo-faith build that uses just enough faith, rather than just putting in 80 and calling it a day.
Personally I’m living the dream with this at 42 faith and a max possible HP build. My condolences to those who wanted a dex/fth seal though.

This seal is bugged at every point. The scalings don't work, it doesn't boost Light of Miquella (same for the circlet that directly states it does). Also, DLC item that is only useful at low level, very good joke...

Strength Scaling of D?
+25 Dryleaf Seal
27 Faith, 10 Strength, 212 Incant Scaling
27 Faith, 99 Strength, 212 Incant Scaling
80 Faith, 10 Strength, 304 Incant Scaling
80 Faith, 99 Strength, 304 Incant Scaling
This literally doesn't even scale with Strength. FromSoft please fix your spaghetti code. Extremely disappointing.

two of these, with miquellas crown, sword of light buff, and a holy buff in your flask, actually does really decent damage at mid level. Spells are usually pretty underwhelming at lower levels until your scaling really kicks in, but you can use discus and multilayered rings of light to have two good options that do really respectable damage on a holy-themed build. Unfortunately, of course, half the items you need for this are all super end-game, which defeats the point. So holy builds are still screwed over by Fromsoft.

So...why exactly does it boosts Radagon's Rings of Light?Discus and triple rings, okay, they were created by Miquella. But Radagon's Rings of Light were created by Radagon, it's literally named after him.

I can confirm that this beats the godslayers seal at low faith. At 30 fth the incant scaling is at 220 vs 191 for the godslayer. Weapon buffs are stronger as well confirming it's from faith
- Anonymous
Use this with Golden Order Seal. Golden Order Seal is still the best seal for faith/int caster (even at low int). If you like holy based incant which you should use if you equip this seal, you have to invest in a few point of Int for Discus of Light and Triple Ring of Light anyway so at those threshold the Golden Order Seal is just outclassing everything else. And you get double boost from Golden Order Seal and Dry Leaf Seal and remember to cast spell using the one with higher Incant Boost (which should be the Golden Order).

Even after Patch 1.12.3, this STILL will not buff Light of Miquella

just a friendly reminder, holy damage is bugged in pvp where most boosts like this seal boosting miquella incants don't work and it does normal damage instead, so if you were hoping to use it to boost the spells for pvp just use erdtree and cry knowing you can't do more damage than the scaling itself

At 60 Str, 79 Fth, and 58 Arc a +9 Dragon Communion seal does more damage when casting Multilayered Rings of Light than a +25 Dryleaf Seal. Sad.

How much % does this thing add? You can pair it together with Circlet of Light to maximize Miquella's incants, sadly there are only 2 of Miquella's incant.

All seals in the DLC need instant scaling buff, it's just too low even with S scaling in Faith. Since we enter DLC after completing 2/3 of the main game, I don't see why we can't get some bigger damage output from the seals.

This would have been the perfect opportunity for a DEX/FAI seal.

I hope this doesn't have the pvp holy damage bug that so many other golden order items seem to have.
This is the best seal a dex hybrid could use if they stay under 50 faith.
This is ideal for using with Flame Art infused Fire Knight Greatsword at 22 strength/50 faith and RL125/150. Of course, Erdtree Seal or even Clawmark will be better for higher levels of stats investments.

I’m playing a str/faith build, at level 155 right now - 42 str and 50 faith. At +24, this is giving me 254 incant scaling, which is still markedly worse than the clawmark seal at +24, which gives me 277 incant scaling. It’s possible that the frenzied flame seal would be better than either but I genuinely don’t know how to do the math and haven’t upgraded it yet. Regardless, it doesn’t seem worth it, even for a strength/faith build. Kinda disappointing

Also boosts: 'Discus of Light', 'Triple Rings of Light' and 'Rings of Radagon'.
Stacks with Circlet of Light and Golden Order Seal.

This also seems to increase the damage of golden order incantations as well as the Miquella exclusive ones. Damage is 15% (versus the golden order seal's 10%).

This seems to be the new best sacred seal at 50FTH or lower, then it falls off hard. Here are some incant scaling numbers vs. Godslayer's and Erdtree:
27FTH: Dryleaf 212 / Godslayer's 181
35FTH: Dryleaf 232 / Godslayer's 207
40FTH: Dryleaf 244 / Godslayer's 224
50FTH: Dryleaf 259 / Godslayer's 257
60FTH: Dryleaf 274 / Godslayer's 291
70FTH: Dryleaf 289 / Erdtree 313
80FTH: Dryleaf 304 / Erdtree 353

This is about the best we'll get in terms of a seal to accompany a dex build. Having the seal be front loaded is great for low level faith investment. At 36 faith i have about 234 incant scaling, which is not fantastic by any means for overall offensive incants unless you use up a talisman slot or two and maybe a physick slot to boost an elemental damage type of your choosing. I run a lightning focused dex build and then with this seal I'm able to use heal spells with good returns (unlike Frenzy Seal, etc) and some lightning incants as well to make use of the lightning tear. Overall a very solid seal for low level faith investment. If you at all intend to go past 50 faith, it gets beat right away at 51, but for pretty much everything under 50, this is your go to. Underrated.
