About "Elden Bling": The True Endgame

In the vast and unforgiving Lands Between, your survival often depends on the armor you wear and the weapons you wield. But for countless Tarnished, victory is only half the battle—the other half is looking incredible while you achieve it. This is the art of **"Elden Bling,"** the true endgame of Elden Ring. It's the process of creating a visually stunning and unique character that not only has powerful stats but also tells a story. Are you a noble Carian Knight clad in shining silver? A rugged Kaiden Sellsword draped in furs? Or a mysterious Black Knife Assassin, silent and deadly? The possibilities are as endless as the Erdtree's branches.

However, a true master of Elden Bling knows that fashion cannot come at the cost of function. Every single piece of gear, from your helmet to your sword to your talismans, has weight. Exceeding your character's Equip Load, which is determined by your Endurance stat, will turn your nimble warrior into a slow, clumsy "fat roller," making it nearly impossible to dodge the game's deadliest attacks. This planner is designed to be your ultimate wardrobe assistant, helping you perfectly balance style and substance. It lets you mix and match every piece of armor, every weapon, and every talisman in the game. As you make your selections, it instantly calculates all your combined stats, ensuring that your perfect look is also a perfectly viable and powerful build. It takes the guesswork out of the equation so you can focus on creating a champion worthy of becoming the Elden Lord.

How to Use the Planner

Crafting your perfect set of Elden Bling is simple with this real-time tool:

1. Set Your Endurance: Start by entering your character's Endurance stat in the box on the right. This is the most important number, as it determines your maximum Equip Load.
2. Select Your Armor: Use the four dropdown menus to select the Helm, Chest Armor, Gauntlets, and Greaves you want to wear. The list contains every armor piece in the game.
3. Equip Your Weapons & Talismans: Don't forget your gear! Select your primary weapons and up to four talismans. The calculator knows about special talismans like the Great-Jar's Arsenal and will automatically factor in their equip load bonuses.
4. Check Your Stats Instantly: As you select each piece, all the stats on the right will update in real-time. You'll see your total Weight, Poise, and Defenses. Most importantly, watch the **Equip Load bar** to see if you're in the Light, Medium, or Heavy roll category.
5. Share Your Build: Once you've created a build you love, click the "Copy Share Link" button. This will copy a unique URL to your clipboard that saves all your selections, so you can share your creation with friends or save it for later.

Tips for Great Elden Bling

• 51 Poise is the Magic Number: In the world of Elden Ring's PvP and tough PvE, **Poise** is king. It determines whether you can withstand an enemy's attack without being staggered out of your own animation. For most builds, aiming for **at least 51 poise** is a critical breakpoint, as it allows you to withstand a single light attack from most weapons without being interrupted.
• **The Power of Medium Load: While a Light Load gives you the fastest and longest dodge roll, staying in the **Medium Load** category (which is anything under 70% of your max) is often the best balance for most characters. It allows you to wear much heavier, more protective, and more poised armor while still having a very effective and responsive dodge.
• Mix and Match for the Win: Don't feel like you have to wear a full, matching set of armor! Some of the most stylish and statistically powerful builds come from combining pieces from different armor sets to hit that perfect 51 poise breakpoint while keeping your weight down and your fashion on point.
• **Don't Forget the Talismans:** Talismans are incredibly powerful. A single talisman slot dedicated to the **Great-Jar's Arsenal** or an **Erdtree's Favor** can dramatically increase your maximum Equip Load, opening up a whole new world of heavy, fashionable armor possibilities without needing to level your Endurance.
