While it is technically possible to reach Level 713 inElden Ring, that is not something that the vast majority of players are likely to do. In fact, fans that want to participate in competitive PvP should make a concerted effort to stop their leveling at a certain point, which is being dictated by the community. This guide will provide details on what that point is, and it will help players decide when they should stop leveling inElden Ring.

Elden Ring: When Should You Stop Leveling

At the time of writing, the “meta level” forPvP duels inElden Ringis considered125, and it is recommended that players stop leveling there for now. That said, there is still a very active conversation about the best level at which to PvP, with many in the community arguing that as high as 150 is preferable. Fortunately, fans that have held at 125 can easily increase their level if the meta ultimately shifts toward 150, while those that have gone too far with their leveling cannot go backward.

To provide a bit more context for this ongoing discussion, the primary goal is to settle on a PvP level that promotes build diversity and engaging battles. On one side of things are fans that believe that builds become too homogenous at Level 150, and that such a phenomenon is undesirable. And on the other side are players that point toElden Ring’s soft caps, which are higher than in previous From Software titles, and suggest that many builds are not complete by the time a character reaches Level 125.

With all of this said,Elden Ring’s massive playerbasemeans that it is easy to participate in multiplayer at almost every level. As such, fans that are not particularly interested in engaging with the more-organized aspects of the game’s PvP should feel free to level up to their heart’s content. This is especially true for players that care exclusively about PvE, and they should only stop leveling if they feel that the powerfulness of their character is making gameplay less fun.

One final thing to mention is that the main gate atElden Ring’s Academy of Raya Lucariais the currently-agreed-upon dueling spot for Level 125 characters. Again, this is something that may change over time, but, for now, players that are looking to test their skills against characters around that level are advised to make a trip to Liurnia.

Elden Ringis available now for PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, and Xbox One and Series X|S.
