Summon Range Calculator for Elden Ring
Level Based Matchmaking
Multiplayer matchmaking is based around Level. The level range is determined from the host perspective, meaning that all calculations are based on the Host player level.
The Summon Range Calculator Formula is based on community testing. Testing was done by user Chizfreak who confirmed nuanced PvP ranges. Other testing is from the Reddit Post "Unofficial Matchmaking Information" by Cyklov .
NOTE: While the formula is correct the calculator itself is wrong due to how it rounds the numbers, for example 139 can match down to 125 when invading.
Input your Level into the calculator and you'll know the Level range for players that can join your game and the range of game Levels that you can join.
NOTE: In Elden Ring, the game takes into account your character level and in addition your highest ever obtained upgraded weapon level. Even if you store or discard the upgraded weapon, the game will still consider that you owned that weapon in the past and adjust its matchmaking accordingly. This creates an issue if you obtain Rogier's Rapier +8 (given by Rogier), the Banished Knight's Halberd +8, dropped from Edgar at Revenger's Shack, or the +7 Spear dropped by killing Patches, since the game will automatically assume your highest upgraded weapon is +8. Therefore, it is advised to interact with these NPC's only after you initially have upgraded a weapon to +8 yourself, or save them for another playthrough.

Note: Upper limit is removed for RL306 for summoned as finger, RL301 for invading as a finger, meaning you can match with anyone up to RL713.

Weapon-Based Matchmaking
Matchmaking also takes into consideration the players' weapons, calculating Level + Upgrade Level to determine multiplayer ranges. When doing this, the maximum upgrade level that you've achieved will be taken into consideration and you'll be paired with someone with a similar value.
*It's important to note that this doesn't take into consideration the highest level Weapon you are currently holding or that you have stored, but the actual highest Weapon that you've had.
*The current values reflect on Smithing Stones only, not their Somber Smithing Stones counterpart. These stones seem to differ in their multiplayer ranges. The Smithing Stones also vary in their respective plus and minus matchmaking ranges based on the hosts' upgrade level. These ranges change at the following upgrade levels:
| + 0 to + 5 have a plus range of 3 | + 0 to +9 have a minus range of 3 |
| + 6 to + 12 have a plus range of 4 | + 10 to + 16 have a minus range of 4 |
| + 13 to + 25 have a plus range of 5 | + 17 to + 25 have a minus range of 5 |
| Host Highest Upgrade | Guest Lowest Upgrade | Guest Highest Upgrade |
|---|---|---|
| + 0 | + 0 | + 3 |
| + 1 | + 0 | + 4 |
| + 2 | + 0 | + 5 |
| + 3 | + 0 | + 6 |
| + 4 | + 1 | + 7 |
| + 5 | + 2 | + 8 |

| + 17 | + 12 | + 22 |
| + 18 | + 13 | + 24 |

Optimal levels for Co-op and Invasion
While sitting on one of these level tiers, you can summon phantoms and be summoned by hosts while also invading the most often, according to what levels and weapon upgrades other players naturally reach at, mix-maxed by the Summon Range Calculator in order to avoid overlap into other tiers of play and allow interaction across all areas of Elden Ring. Refer to the Game Progress Route guide for which areas you'll likely encounter other players based on your level tier.
Note: There is an exception with the level tier RL150 or higher with max gear being more ideal for NG+ or exclusively duels in specific areas.
| Host Level | Weapon Upgrade Level (Special weapon upgrade level) |
|---|---|
| 25 | +3 (+1) |
| 52 | +7 (+3) |

If i get example the rogiers rapier which has a +8 upgrade, is there any way to remove it from my inventory so it does not increase my invasion levels?

Whelp, I've learned something new. Apparently, if you level up without going above +4 regular and use taunter's tongue around the lake, you'll find plenty of players, especially 60 - 90. You'd think there'd be people with good equipment, but no , I just get mostly average Mages and Samurais. I'm surprised I'm even finding those kind of players despite being level 83.

Good upgrade levels for max matching range are: R3, R5=S2, R8, R11, S5, R14, R17=S7, R19, S8.
If using somber +3(reg7), get a regular to +8 to widen matching range. Similarly, if using a somber +4(reg10), get a regular to +11. Somber +1 and +6 are inferior, since they target same but narrower range, compared to somber +2 and +7 respectively.
Here is matching table with somber and matching range size included. Columns are: Regular, Somber, Min &max matching level, Matching range regular & somber:

This explains why my Level 1 character isn't getting summoned. I've got Rogier's rapier but also several of my own weapons leveled to +8
Lots of people are playing with +12-13 (+5-6) between levels 60-70 these days. I do co-op at this level and accidentally over-leveled my weapons to 13 (6) and still get damn near instant matchmaking for both co-op and invading.

In my experience, 125-150is the most popular invasion sweet spot. 200 isn't too bad either.
But 168-200 seems sort of dead and I can't even seem to get anything at the 60-90 range.

It’s almost like this developer doesn’t want anyone to play PvP. This is way over complicated and also not even close to anything I would ever think up to sell.

Anybody know how colosseum matchmaking works? I don't have anybody to test with but i believe there's a 30 point range at level 150. I think a level 150 can match with a 120 or 180. I did some non-scientific tests by using different characters here and i think 30 is right. With a level 150 and 180 i kept matching with the same dude. I didn't have a 120 to test with but the number should go either direction. Has anybody seen a calculator for the colosseum?

This should mention Spirit Ash Upgrades count towards your summoning levels as well. Have tested and ruined low level sunbro character by leveling them. I am almost certain they are counted the same as unique weapon upgrades.

Helping others in co-op is so fun, especially doing levels like stormveil castle. But I don't like this lvl ranges bs...I can't find anyone, I up a lvl and suddenly get summoned a lot. This needs rework...btw, what's the most common lvl ppl do caelid/Redmane? I'm thinking rl60 with an upgrade lvl of 10 normal/4 somber?
- Anonymous
I'm not a fan of these limits. Most players usually don't summon because they can't beat a boss, they summon for the sake of jolly cooperation, but even if that was the case, I'd love to just be a sunbro and help bad and/or new players against early bosses.
Tiptoeing around specific character and weapon levels don't exactly create organic gameplay.
I like level 139 because it allows me to play with both the 125 crowd and the 150 crowd, as well as the ~170 fresh NG+ crowd. I feel like it should be a fairly active level range for those reasons.

It's cool to see what cosplay builds people can manage in the >35 range. I've seen frenzy flame maidens, banished knights, drake knights, haima sorcerers, finger maidens, tree sentinels, a vulgar militiaman, a fire monk and a "dominula local." Seeing one of these guys makes the slog of double-antspur dupevaders worth it.
- Anonymous
The calculator here rounds up the numbers for things like the 'lower level limit', when in game like every other stat it rounds down. A level 139 will invade 125 because 0.9*139 is 125.1 where it gets rounded down; and a level 155 will invade 139 because 0.9*155 is 139.5.
That means for meta level invaders you want to be 125, 139 or 155 where previously it was thought to be 125, 138, 153.
According to the Rune Arc page of the Wiki, only Bloody Fingers killing the host, summoned collaborators defeating the boss and blues killing red invaders get it...so what would be the point of ganking reds with summons, farming runes in pve is much easier.
Do you get something else as the host?

I really can’t get over how stupid this is. Like really a triple A development company real made the stupid decision to have level caps and mins in which you can play with other players (randoms) when the game literally has a perfectly good, working scaling system In which if you summons a friend with a password even if they are 200 levels above your level, they still get scaled down to whoever’s world they got summoned to. So why tf does that not exist for all multiplayer? It’s just stupidity

This range calculator is not applicable to invading. If you plan on invading, plan on basically being cheated at every tuen. This will get down voted by same 6 people who are the ganks. But don't waste your time with this. It's simply not applicable for invaders.

So i have to adapt to all these rules when invading but the host only has to type a password to summon his max level buddies? Keep it classy FROM.

I don't recommend doing online until at the very minimum lvl 60 - and make sure you have the rot cure incantation. Below that level is a horrible toxic mess and usually contains the worst kinds of players - both invaders and overleveled phantoms. I have a feeling that many new players are completely prevented from really getting into the online because of this horrible bracket.
- Anonymous
This range calculator seems only applicable to invading. It's pretty accurate. It is not accurate to the host summoning phantoms. With password groups, you can summon phantoms leveled far far far far far above that formula. It is the only explanation for the mass ruin rewards I get from most phantoms when I do manage to defeat them. See pvp reward info. Matter of fact, I'm not sure I remember an invasion against non max level phantoms. This and no random single player invasion broke pvp badly.but it is what it is. Either accept it or don't invade. Password was a money move to get more people buying game IMHO.

Making Invasions only occur in groups was the dumbest decision Fromsoft has ever made. A game with this big of a fanbase shouldn't be this dead. Ds3 and Ds2 were more busy 5 years after their release. Also covenants are nonexistent and Seamless Coop deletes pvp entirely. Sekiro was offline, and I think Armored Core doesn't have pvp, Ds3 (2016) was the last one. Casual pvp is dead, all we have is an arena with no benefits. And all I can do is hope they make a more pvp oriented game later on, cause despite their minor improvements like the Arena and Near/Far Invading, this is objectively trash.

Weapon level matchmaking was such a stupid kneejerk reaction to twinks ruining dark souls 1. Literally just make every invader, phantom, or hunter match the host's current max weapon level. No more nonsense calculations and planning needed to play online, and there's still no risk of twinks hard stomping or carrying noobs through numbers alone.
Rune level matchmaking is the only thing that makes sense, since build potential actually changes at different levels.
A +1 sword is exactly the same at +25 in everything but damage, but A RL 40 build and RL 80 build can play totally different from one another. The removal of weapon level matchmaking would make both co-op and invasions so much more convenient.

Something is odd, i was doing non stop coop at lvl 3 with +4 weapons at stormveil, when i advanced up to volcano manor without killing godrick or getting + 7 weapon for parches or edgar, i stopped getting summoned. The only thing i did was to upgrade black crossbow to +2 somber apart from that.

Just take off level ranges entirely and scale all invaders and phantoms to the Host's level.
I want to help players beat bosses, but at endgame you only get summoned for Fire Giant onwards. If you're level 170 and want to fight earlier bosses like Rennala, then you have to make an entirely new character and replay half the game in order to get summoned. That or hope to get summoned by someone in New Game+.
And on that note, summoning pools are also terrible. There's no way to filter which bosses you want to be summoned for, nor can you tell which one's you've activated or not. It could be as simple as going to the map and checking off which summon pools you want active and leaving your Golden Effigy always on. The Blue Cypher ring can be left on; I don't get why the Effigies constantly disable when entering a new area.

Don't let yourself get chewed up by the lowest common denominator of people still matchmaking with randoms, the reason they're doing that is because they don't have any friends and get kicked out of communities for being the lowest common denominator of humanity. It's not march 2022 anymore, the vast majority of cool people have moved on or filtered out of random matchmaking thanks to communities, seamless co op, and passwords. Don't subject yourself to randoms in 2023.

Why don’t they just make it so that your hp, fp, stamina and attack level down to whoever your invading level is?
Yes there would need to be caps, you can’t have a lvl 679 with a lvl 13, but if they made the caps bigger and lowered stats to around the hosts level, it would be more enjoyable and easier to invade and do colosseum.

Co-op builds will just never get consistent activity in ER, the matchmaking ranges are too shallow for how massive the game is, and most players just use spirits because there's no penalty. You'll also have to strategically dodge common ganking areas/bosses/levels/upgrades, if you're not interested in standing around with a bunch of mouth breathers waiting for invaders to mash buttons at. DLC might funnel people into a more concentrated area/range of content, but that won't solve having to constantly sever/block tard squads. I gave up on "co-op" pretty fast, just a couple months after release it seemed like the only people still playing were the lowliest of losers.

Anyone know which formula is used for colosseum matchmaking? I’m already past 150 so wondering when I should stop
The fact that 150 matches with 125 in arena is so annoying. 25 extra points of defenses and whatever other stats giving you an advantage against everyone else playing at the actual meta level. Feels cheap when you know someone is leagues above your level but they still matched with you and still feel like they outplayed you despite the advantages.

Most people are at level 150 so you should go around 140-160 if you want to pvp
I've been having tons of fun co-oping at RL 85 with +17 weapons. The rune arcs, boss rush type gameplay, and random player interactions are all even better with a good lowbie build. Invaders are pretty tame at these levels, though you do get the occasional tryhard that will G9 your team. For bosses, I've been getting lots of Radahns, Sewer Mohgs, Crucible Knight Silurias, Morgotts, and of course that Ulcerated Tree Spirit guarding the Mt. Gelmir Minor Erdtree (us mages love that one).
Overall a source of good fun for someone who has completed all the single-player content the game has to offer. Pop on an obscure but fun weapon, grab your favorite AoW, get all the spells/gear you can, and perhaps pick up a Prattling Pate if you prefer parlaying with partnered players!

I stopped at RL137 and it seems great - tons of multiplayer in all forms, you can interact with both 125 and 150 players, and overall have lots of points to spend in stats.

Looks like there's a slight error. Under "SUMMON RANGE FORMULA" it says the calculations are based on the host player's level. If the calculator under "LEVEL BASED MATCHMAKING" is correct (ignoring rounding errors) then the PvP formulas under "SUMMON RANGE FORMULA" are using the invader's level, not the host's.
Example, if "Level" is 139:
Lower-level Limit: 139 * 0.9 = 125.1 (calculator rounds it to 126, the host's level, which means 139 is the invader's level)
Upper-level Limit Equation: 139 * 1.1 + 20 = 172.3 (calculator rounds it to 172, the host's level, which means 139 is the invader's level)
Also, I wrote down the formulas corresponding to the results displayed in the calculator. You should be able to use these if you want to avoid the calculator's rounding errors (assuming the formulas provided on this wiki are correct):
COOP
Can Summon, Lower-Level Limit: Cooperator = Host * 0.9 - 10
Can Summon, Upper-Level Limit: Cooperator = Host * 1.1 + 10
Can be Summoned by, Lower-Level Limit: Host = (Cooperator - 10) / 1.1
Can be Summoned by, Upper-Level Limit: Host = (Cooperator + 10) / 0.9
PVP
Can Invade, Lower-Level Limit: Host = Invader * 0.9
Can Invade, Upper-Level Limit: Host = Invader * 1.1 + 20
Can be Invaded by, Lower-Level Limit: Invader = (Host - 20) / 1.1
Can be Invaded by, Upper-Level Limit: Invader = Host / 0.9

153 is the level you want to be for invasions as it allows you to invade 150 as well as 138. The reason why 138 is mentioned because it’s the highest level that will match with 125. So being 153 will be the highest to match with the primary meta of 150 as well as the tertiary meta of 138.
Hosts are going to playthrough with gold scarab always on and will play with few weapons and so will almost dump a very large proportion of runes for levels. Paired with summoned friends the host will get their runes back from deaths more easily and the rune penalty from summoning will be negated by winning invasions. This will push hosts to be closer to 150 as oppose to 125.
As someone with 67 days of game time and most of it invasion, 153 is the way to go.

Nobody is summoning me? Rl150 +max. Did every summoning pool and nothing. It takes a solid 15+ to finally get summoned

For RL45 invasions build Unique +3, should I go for +7 standard weapon? Or +5?

Working on an rl30 coop character, what's the best weapon level to stick with? I've heard +3 and +5 for standard weapons but I don't know if I should move up to +5 or stay with +3

Auto scaling the weapons would greatly simplify matchmaking. I've been running around for a year rarely finding matches only to find I'm supposed to have my weapon at something specific too? seems like a lot of guess work just to have fun.

For Xbox multiplayer activity try 60 +12/+3, 125 +25/+10, 150 +25/+10, 200 +25/+10.
I have to agree that Weapon Level Matchmaking , while in theory sounds good, is actually a horrible idea as is password matchmaking. The easiest solution. Get rid of dropping/duping ANY and ALL weapons armor and consumbables like Bloodborne. Have the player have to get all their stuff on their own. Problem solved.
