Weapons in Elden Ring are only so useful in their default state. Therefore, it’s important that players level them up to be more powerful. Hitting the max weapon level cap results in the most powerful version of a weapon, making it a tool to be feared. Up until now, however, it’s been a mystery on just how high you can upgrade weapons in Elden Ring. Here’s all of the need-to-know information.
What is the Elden Ring max weapon level cap?
The Elden Ring max weapon level is 25.
At +25, weapons can no longer be upgraded. That weapon has then reached its most powerful form, with its attack and other stats at the maximum. Once +25 has been achieved, it’s time to invest resources into other weapons, preferably those with a different type of attack. For example, if you maxed out a bladed weapon, maybe it’s time to focus energy into something with strike damage.
It will no doubt take players a lot of time to get their first weapon to +25. It’s an endgame feat, largely due to the rarity of the resources that take weapons to 20 and above. However, it’s well worth putting in the effort to level up your favorite weapon, as it can become much more formidable.
Note: Special weapons can only be upgraded to level +10.
How to get weapons to max level in Elden Ring
To get weapons to max level in Elden Ring, players need to use Smithing Stones, Somber Smithing Stones, Ancient Dragon Smithing Stones, and Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stones.
As you might imagine, the more impressive-sounding stones are tougher to find and are likely to be encountered during the endgame stages.
