1. Load Save
Start here if you have an Elden Ring save. Import fills stats, equipment, and the item pool so you do not have to enter everything by hand. You can skip this and type stats below instead.
This does not modify your save in any way. It only reads items from the file into the calculator - nothing is written back. All files stay on your computer.
Click Load Save…, then copy this path and paste it into the file picker address bar:
%APPDATA%\EldenRing
Open your Steam ID folder and choose ER0000.sl2 (vanilla) or ER0000.co2 (Seamless Co-op). Other same-format mod saves work too; unknown/mod items are skipped.
2. Character
Character Level: — | Base Max Equip Load (Endurance only): —
3. Equipment (lock any slot so Optimize leaves it alone)
Click a slot to choose an item. Weapons and shields can go in either hand; their weight is subtracted from the armor budget. Next to each weapon slot, pick the infusion and upgrade — Standard and +0 are the base and stay selectable. Locked pieces stay put; unlocked armor is what the optimizer fills around them. Equip one Great Rune and turn Rune Arc on to apply its blessing. Godrick's +5 and talismans that raise attributes (Soreseals, Heirlooms, Millicent's Prosthesis) count for load and weapon requirements; character level still uses invested stats. Weapon and talisman suggestions appear under Results and are not auto-equipped.
Current load: —
4. Status
In-game totals from your invested stats plus equipped armor, talismans, and an active Great Rune. Hover a changed value to see which items contribute. Character level still uses invested stats. Each Attack column is one weapon slot (Right 1–3 and Left 1–3), plus unconditional damage bonuses from gear — wiki reference AR, not live Attack Rating for your spread, infusion, or upgrade. Slots are not added together.

Per-slot wiki reference AR. The Attack columns above match Right 1–3 and Left 1–3, each plus Scorpion Charms and similar always-on bonuses. They are not added together. Wieldable uses effective Strength / Dexterity / Intelligence / Faith / Arcane, including two-handing if that box is checked under weapon recommendations.

Weapon & Shield Recommendations
Ranked by how well your current stats pay off each weapon's scaling, including Heavy/Keen/… when affinities are on. If you imported a save, only infusions you actually own are ranked, and upgrade levels come from that save. Attack values shown are still wiki reference numbers at a fixed high stat investment, not live Attack Rating for your exact stats and upgrade — treat them as a rough guide.
