Equip Load | Elden Ring Wiki

YOU CAN ONLY HAVE GREAT JARS ARSENAL OR ARSENAL CHARM. YOU CANNOT EQUIP BOTH. EDIT THE ARTICLE TO REFLECT THIS SO OTHERS DO NOT WASTE THEIR TIME AS I DID

Submit

so with 99 lvls in endurance(160weight) + 1 talisman (21weight) you can wear heavy armors up to 60 and still do a lightroll. 181 / 3. Mostlikely NG+3-7 to make it happen but then you can finally enjoy lightrolls with a nice armor :)

Submit

For any of you wondering if there is any running speed difference between medium and light load, there isn't, I tested it with a friend. He had light load while I had medium load, we did a race, we tied.

Submit

Quick newbie question, is the distance of feint attack (curved sword and thrusting sword) fixed or gonna affected by equip load like rolling?

Submit

This + swiftshard = death by thousand cuts

Submit

isn't sprinting slightly (but noticeably) faster on light load? Or is it a mere illusion do to when on normal load I wear moderate heavy armor which sounds/looks slower than wearing a robe on light load?

Submit

DS3 had the percentage relative your equip load, effectively helping you monitoring changes and tresholds.
ER forces you to either do a calculation, or test it out and follow the text.

It's a small thing, but I find it annoying.

Submit

Is there any truth to attack speed being affected by equip load? I became curious when Ensha attacked at Roundtable Hold, and I was wielding the same weapon, and she out-paced my attacks by a strong margin.

I tend to feel that if an NPC can do it, so should we be able.

Submit

Let's go! i can keep in medium weight with my pumpkin helm, bullgoat armor and 6 fingerprint shields at once with the 925.3 equip load strategy

Submit

It's such a shame that being fat increase fall damage, but doesn't increase the damage from the jump skills like erdtree slam. You effing jump on an ennemy, of course your weight should come into the calculation of the damages

Submit

Do you run faster at light load? The cadence of your steps are defo faster. I feel faster too but maybe it’s placebo. But the cadence is quite a bit faster than medium.

Submit

The medium roll formula is explained below in simple terms:
Take your equiped load (your armour, weapons, talismans) and times it by 100 then divide that by 70 and then that number will be the minimum equipload needed eg: equiped load = 57.2 | 57.2 x 100 / 70 = 81.714 | 81.714 is the minimum equip load needed to med roll with 57.2 equiped load, then use the EQUIP LOAD INCREASE BY ENDURANCE LEVEL graph in this page to find the minimum level.

Submit

trying to use medium load after several runs of light load is a nightmare

Submit

116 in level max, is med load

Submit

Can anybody confirm whether the light roll is still a good route to go for in PvE after the 1.09 nerf? Before the nerf, it felt almost as good as DS1 light roll.

Submit

Rebirthing with rennala shows your base equip load and not what you'll get in addition to your talismans. If you're on the rebirth screen use

'X' as your base equipload
'Y' as your equipload plus erdtrees favor 2 talisman

The formula is: X+(X×0.08)=Y and then you do Y+(Y×0.19) to get the final equip load

This means great jars gives you a plus 19% to you your total After what erdtree favor 2 gave you, not just base 27% increase

Submit

A lot of people absolutely loath fighting against someone using light load because it makes roll catching impossible for certain weapons and promotes passive play. Personally if you aren’t passive I don’t care too much since there are at least some trade offs to using light load, though if you are passive I’m gonna bring out the Cleanrot sword.

Submit

I feel poise should be made a little more reliable and stronger so there is an actual trade-off between choosing heavy armor and light armor besides, of course, damage absorption. Atm is better to just go for the light roll if your build allows it.

Submit

Okay, after some more testing, get light load. If you're an evasion based player, it's almost as important as it was in Dark Souls 1. Unless you're carrying a big shield or use ranged magic, you'll need it.

Submit

I could be completely off base here, but I feel like light load also affects your movement speed, particulary when you're locked on and circling around an enemy. With low encumbrance, I felt like I could easily slip in and out of range of my opponents, whereas with heavier armor this seemed pretty hard to do.

Submit

can i have light roll with full Eccentric's armor??

Submit

Light roll mage in the arena is pure cancer unless you are also a light rolling mage

Submit

Literally the only counter to a passive player using light roll is to light roll yourself. That's the hallmark of a broken feature.

Submit

i am determined to get medium load with giant crusher finger print shield and full bull goat armor

Submit

Breakpoints are incorrect. At 160 equip load, 29.9% is 53.51... But I'm going into medium load at 48 equip weight.

Submit

I think that equip load should effect defensive play equally in either direction. Lighter loads obviously boast a better dodge, but I think that heavier loads should not be so vulnerable to "kinetic" abilities (knockback, knock down, etc.)

I think that's just weight in general, looking back on what I typed. I cannot comprehend the right answer to this, but I would like for weight to mean more than a requirement for Endurance.

Submit

light load should have its own running animation like heavy load

Submit

All hail the DS2 Mega Rolls we got in 1.06! Light Roll is mostly worth it again!

Submit

thrusting weapon mfs when i dont get immediately rollcaught to death because i can out distance them with light rolls

Submit

The running animation when you're in heavy load looks like the way someone would run if they just soiled themselves.

Submit

This page is wrong. Radagon's Soreseal can be combined with Erdtree's Favor +2 and Great Jar Arsenal at 99 END, while wearing either Imp's Head (Wolf) or Hierodas Glintstone Crown, for the absolute maximum Equip Load. Visions of dodging...

Submit

I'm bit sad that heavy has -20% stam recovery. I might've tried no-roll build with shield and heavy armours, but shield requires high recoveries. Which forces those builds into jarsenal, wasting one talisman slot.

Submit

When I read the 1.06 patch notes I was really skeptical that light loads would be useful with the only benefit being further roll distance, but after completing almost a whole playthrough with a light load, I can say that I was so wrong: the light roll is amazing and absolutely worth it. It may not have any more iframes, but it's way better at just getting out of harm's way. Just one roll will take you to a safe distance against most enemies. It's especially useful for builds that prefer to stay at range. When I went back to another character with a medium load, it immediately felt sluggish in comparison. I don't think I could ever go back.

Submit

The wiki says < 29.9 is light load, my character has a 29.5 equip load but I’m still medium load. Am I doing something wrong?

Submit

I think it would be better if devs reworked light roll in a different manner. Don't make it as strong, but lower the requirement (let's say 35% or even 40% equip load instead of 30%), and nerf the winged tear so high-poise, high resistance fast roll builds are much more difficult to abuse

Submit

light roll is good after 1.06, was able to beat tree sentinel right out of the gate for the first time (i'm terrible). Regardless, light load should still receive more buffs. perhaps increased stamina regen, or faster movement speed, faster attacks after rolls, etc.

Its a fair tradeoff for lack of poise and durability

Submit

post-1.06 light roll is actually insanely good

Submit

well ****, I'm starting to regret going light for 40+ levels -_- really disappointed there isn't a bigger difference. I wonder if it would be too OP to make light armor function like quickstep?

Submit

This is dumb. What's the point of light load when med load is exactly the same but you get to be tankier? The roll distance isn't increased that much compared to ds3 where light load was pog.

Submit

Hi does anyone know that with the same load range, lighter load will have longer rolling distance or not?
For example, 10% load and 20% load will have different rolling distance (both in light load)?

Submit

I have a poor boy mechanic for swapping to my colossal weapons. Sort gear by attack power, insta scroll to bottom of list by tapping up once, boom. Now if you can't equip it without going heavy even by itself then you're just gonna have to suck it up and roll like my fat self irl

Submit

"This means the highest load you can carry while still maintaining the fastest rolls is 61.4.
This can be temporarily increased even further to 925.3 when drinking a Flask of Wondrous Physick with a Winged Crystal Tear."

wow, 925.3 eh! I can't wait to find out when we get the DLC where you could possibly reach this Outer God level equipment loading

Submit

You can get away with being very mobile at high equip loads by using Torrent. This will let you ride around at normal speed without getting slowed down.

Submit

Minor point but it seems like the light roll threshold is ≤30% and not ≤29.9% as stated. I have 48.0 equip load, 160.0 maximum equip load and I'm in light load, that's exactly 30%.

Submit

Has anyone tested light load sprint speed?

I notice that if I go from medium load to light load, my characters footsteps are faster.

Submit

Roll distance isn't increased in light. Just tested it.

Submit

END should increase equip load less (maybe just a flat 1 for each level, or less) and STR should’ve given a small increase of ~0.4

makes no sense that fast dex builds get to have the same passive poise as slow strength builds

Submit

Sad that light load really isnt worth stripping

Submit

"The soft caps are 25 and 60" Lmao, No. The Soft-Cap is 25, the Hard-Cap is 60 and the Cap is 99. To use words appropriately you need to understand what they mean. You can't have several Soft-Caps because then they're not "Soft-Caps" at all. Is like saying "This thing has 3 halves", is an oxymoron.

Submit

Light load deserves an extra iframe, faster movement speed, SOMETHING. You're gonna sacrifice good armor and multiple weapons on your quickbar for a slightly farther roll distance?

I want light load to be good so bad...

Submit

The things I do to wear the Crucible Knight armor with my favorite gear & medium load. The fashion stat.

Submit

i have 42.1 load with 133.3 max and have no light state. can anyone explain why?

Submit

I believe high equip load makes Torrent's after sprint running time last less, starting its walking speed earlier. ¿Can someone confirm this?

Submit

I just tested, you take significantly different fall damage depending on your equipment load

Submit

Light load gives you slightly faster movement speed, which is where the value is. It’s barely noticeable until you start actually playing with light load. In a game where spacing is so important, that little bit extra speed often means the difference between avoiding an attack or getting hit. But it’s all dependent on play style, so results greatly vary.

Submit

in the first playthrough is fine, because you sacrifice endurance for other stats but everything makes a difference, but i feel like when you get high level and you are a mage or a dexterity you are obbligated to use those heavy equipments even though you dont want to...

Submit

Tested light load rolls and backsteps plus heavy backsteps, updated info. A light load gives you slightly longer rolls in terms of distance covered and the recovery time after a backstep is ever so slightly reduced, as far as I could tell. Heavy backsteps have much longer recovery time.

Submit

I cant believe the iframes for this game is lower on medium roll than light roll without they communicate to the player visually like in ds 1.

Submit

Is there any way to make a graph similar to your "endurance investment" graph that shows you what your optimal endurance level needs to be to meet the mid roll requirements of your load out?

For example if your equip weight is like 67 then your endurance level needs to be 40 and so on?

I think that could be very useful.

Submit

Should be noted that Vyke's Dragonbolt, the incantation, increases your maximum equip load by 15%

Submit

You're gonna get one shot anyway might as well fast roll

Submit

So, somebody cooked up a script and mined some of the iframes. It’s on the Reddit. Their findings were that standard and light rolls had the same iFrames, and fat rolls had ever so slightly less (like, 25 compared to 26-27). The kicker was that light rolls had significantly fewer startup frames, and fat rolls had significantly increased end frames. The startup difference in light rolls might explain the people who are claiming light rolls cover more ground over time than medium rolls.

Ok so i've watched every video possible and read many posts on this, so basically, there REALLY isn't any difference between light and medium roll, only 10% distance on rolls, and quicker backstep (not like anyone uses this anyway) Other than that there is no difference in iframe which is sad, cause why would you put on very light armor and take extra dmg when all you get for it is 10% distance on your rolls, that's some stupid garbage right there.

Submit

As long as i can roll out of waterfowl dance like a pro.

Submit

Spend around 1 hour for testing. So, fast rolls, a bit longer, try do 10-15 rolls in a row and u'll see difference, it's about 10% distance.
Fast rolls animation a bit faster, try do 10-15 rolls in a row with time secured, difference the same, about 10%
About iframes, not so sure, but i think, fast rolls have same iframes, but a little faster recovery time - time when u still in roll animation, but alredy without iframes.

Submit

Either 70% for medium load is not exact, or amounts are rounded.

I have 62.3 equip load. 70% of 62.3 is 43.61, however, with 43.6 equipped, it's heavy. 43.5 is fine though.

Submit

Light equip also effects jumping backwards (tap dodge button while not moving). I tested with 44 back jumps , the light equip reached the destination 3 seconds earlier.

Submit

There is a good way to see the difference between light roll distance and medium roll distance yourself. Go to mountain top of giants, with light equip walk/jog in to the diagonal of the a telescope, then roll forward in to the telescope , then roll again the other direction (it seems to buffer input). You will see your foot prints. Now repeat with medium roll and you will see the difference is a bit less then length of your own foot. Repeat several times until the original footprint disappears , i was not able to reach the fast roll distance.

Submit

"Fast Rolls Light State: Standard roll. No difference in stamina recovery, animation, distance, nor stamina usage from medium load. Iframes needs further testing."

The distance part is not true. I tested roll distance with medium and light equip load while starting at the same spot and I could see that the roll made it a further distance with the light equip load. It was a very small difference and may not be worth the extra armor you'd lose, but it's there.

Submit

Fast roll gives you a much farther dodge roll from side to side when locked on. Not sure if you get more I-frames, but you get much more distance

Submit

For anyone with equip load problems, you can use great jar arsenal with erndtree favor. However, you cannot mix great jar arsenal with the other weight load arsenal charm.

Submit

I've seen some reports that fast and mid rolling have the same amount of iframes. Can anyone who's tested confirm?

Submit

After noticing that your walk/run animation changes depending on your equipment load, I did a little testing and your move speed seems increase with a light load, and decrease with a heavy load.
Not by a huge amount; maybe somewhere in the range of 10%.
I tested it by going to a Grace next to a patrolling enemy, and seeing how far from the start it would be by the time I ran to it.
Swapping load back and further, it was consistently further along with a heavy load and nearer with a light load.

I also test sneaking without crouching like someone else mentioned, but load seemed to have no effect on that. I was always spotted from behind at the same distance.

Submit

It would be interesting, if anyone has the means, to investigate if there is any benefit to light armor other than the stealth aspect. Stamina regeneration, i-frames, something. Being that likely everyone will be putting points into endurance, it would surprise me for lighter armor to be relatively useless.

Submit

I just saw a video comparing spped and distance of medium and light roll and they were the exact same. So currently there isn't any proven benefit of light equipment load yet? Seen some people mentioning iframes, but has this been tested yet? Currently seems no difference.

Submit

with light equip load (30 weight or lower), enemies are no longer hear your footstep when you walk/run behind them for backstab. assuming you are not crouching

Submit

Why it shows me 50 (medium roll), equipped sth else it say 48 (heavy roll) how?!

Submit

Does lighter weight increase i-frames?

In DS3 it increased speed and distance but kept the same i-frames.

Submit

I'm wearing bandit mask, rest of my armor is astrologer gear, meteorite staff, falchion, carrian knights shield, graven school talisman, great-jars arsenal, and green turtle talisman. I'm at 30.0 / 100.1 equip load. Isn't that above 29.9%? I should be med load but the game is showing light load.

roll distance comparison

Submit

I feel like equip load is useless in this gsme because i can't eve wear some big gear even though i have like 80 equip load, somehow 50 is heavy? I generally don't understand what's the point.

Submit

take what I say with a grain of salt because I'm a dumbass but if I'm correct you need 24 endurance for a giantdad build, which is easily attainable early game by killing that one gigantic dragon with bleed

Submit

what is the reason to go for light? roll distance seems the same and the iframe gain better be MASSIVE to compensate for the lost protection, I don´t know how to test the iframes but I simply can´t see a difference between light and medium rolls at all

Submit

There is a talisman that increases your damage at low equip load

Submit

words cannot express how happy i am equip load is tied to endurance again
no more feeling like im wasting levels in vigor

Submit

Has anyone tested the actual number of iframes yet? Is it still 13 on the medium roll?

Submit

I think light load dodges might have a faster recovery time, but the difference is trivial. It’s really not at all worth building for.

Submit

What is the difference amount of i-frames from light load to medium load, does anyone know? Does it change stamina cosumption?

Submit

Arsenal charm +0 gives 15% weight

Arsenal charm +1 gives 17% weight

Erdtree's Favor +1 gives 6.3-6.5% weight (hard to nail down exactly)

Submit

So if light load doesnt increase stamina recovery or improve your rolls, what DOES it do? It must do something?

Submit

Endurance isn't increasing my equip load. Anybody know how to fix this?

Submit

This is ****ing stupid, no any stamina recovery advantage for low weight. İ hated this so much at ds3. This system was perfect at ds1,ds2. Also no cap at %50, 30-70 huge

Submit

Does anybody know already if there's an accessory to flip like ds1 or similar? That way getting to -30% or so would be worth it

Submit

Equip load is most likely tied to endurance as the offical overview trailer shows at minute 4:44 and following. It shows the menu of two players with 16 STRl, but one has 18 END with 60.9 max equip load and the other 12 with 51.4 max equip load.

Submit

The paragraf with (HOW TO INCREASE CHARACTER EQUIP LOAD in Elden Ring) now is known tru the outlet's that have had hands-on playtime with the final build of the game, is changed to (Stat: ENDURANCE) instead.

Submit

They really need to fix this, lighter, faster characters need to have an advantage, otherwise why build anything except STR characters with 69% weight and full Havel’s, Max Armor and Poise, Max I-frames, fast roll and fast stamina regen…. Just delete light armor if its going to be like this again

Submit

"very fast rolls that go the farthest" this is false and not true , being 69.99% are same as going full naked 0% weight , both been tested and got same distance HELL even same iframe between light and medium roll makes using light armor pointless to use and medium armor will be meta again

what even worst is if you compare between RAYA LUCARIAN SET light armor set and CRUCIBLE SET heavy armor set , the heavy armor set offer x2 protection and also double elemental/magical protection couple with the fact vitality is no longer its own stat and part of strength were 90% of playerbase are just either strength or dex build means most people easily will just repeat same thing again like dark souls 3 were light armor is trash


PS: solution makes it like DS1 or 2 were less weight you have the more iframe you get but also high damage you will take too , make it fair game , but at that point just delete light armor as whole point of light armor was to wear something to protect you abit while being low weight for more iframe , but ever since DS3 its not the case anymore or give us transmog/change appearance system to armor so we won't have to worry about our character just copypaste of same meta armor that everybody use

Submit

"very fast rolls that go the farthest" thats false , been tested and its same roll distance for all below 69.99%

so yeah wearing light armor is pointless since it doesn't offer any good physical armor nor does it offer magical/elemental protection CRUCIBLE SET offers
