Can You Get All Stats to 99 in Elden Ring?

As a passionate Elden Ring player and content creator myself, I‘m constantly exploring ways to empower player builds to their full potential. So for my fellow diehard fans, let‘s discuss the coveted prize of maxing out all your stats to 99 in this glorious open world epic.

Reaching the Max Level Cap of 713

The max level you can currently achieve in Elden Ring is 713. According to the experts at Fextralife, this requires boosting all 8 attributes – Vigor, Mind, Endurance, Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Faith and Arcane – to the maximum cap of 99 points.

To put into perspective how much grinding that takes:

As you can see, this adds up to a staggering 1.69 billion runes total! When the max rune count you can hold is 999 million, this essentially requires multiple NG+ playthroughs even with max boosting gear.

The Race to Max Level 713

In over 60 hours across 5 playthroughs, renowned Twitch streamer Iron Pineapple was one of the first to reach the fabled max level 713, documenting his godly build and unequalled power.

Fextralife estimates only 0.1% of players will ever get close to max level due to the sheer time investment required. But for myself and some other diehard fans, it represents the ultimate badge of honor.

I‘m currently at level 342 on my primary character after 210 hours of glorious struggle in the Lands Between! So I still have some work ahead of me, but here are the strategies I‘m using to grind out levels while enjoying this captivating world.

Step-by-Step Strategies to Grind Runes

Based on the most efficient rune farming routes developed by the Elden Ring community, here is my personal roadmap to maxing out my Tarnished‘s potential this year:

Early Game:

• Equip Golden Scarab Talisman (+20% runes)
• Farm Soldier Camps in Limgrave or Lenne‘s Rise
• Target 10,000 runes per hour initially

Mid Game:

• Respec build to boost Arcane for rune drops
• Farm Albinaurics with Sacred Relic Sword
• Target 100,000 runes per hour here

End Game:

• Equip Golden Fowl Foot (+30% runes)
• Farm Palace Approach Ledge-Road site of grace
• Target 500,000+ runes per hour in endgame

As the cherry on top – I‘ll be livestreaming my entire journey towards max level cap on my Twitch channel! So join me as I grind through the pain for that sweet, sweet virtual power.

Weighing Pros and Cons of Max Level

Reaching level 713 means attaining god-like power unrestrained by stat requirements for weapons, spells or gear. But is such an interminable grind actually…fun? Here‘s my take:

Pros

• Wield any combo of gear without restrictions
• Tank endless enemy combos while dishing damage
• Feel a great sense of achievement overcoming the slog
• Enjoy steamrolling NG+ with impunity
• Flex on other players with max bragging rights

Cons:

• Hundreds of hours repeating tedious farming routes
• Could burn out on the game from monotony
• Opportunity cost of trying different build types
• Potential content drought if no new DLC raises cap

So in summary – maxing your Elden Ring pve build takes insane commitment but offers commensurate power and prestige. It ultimately comes down to your tolerance and even love for the grind.

The Road Stretches Ahead

The path to max level 713 is a true test of will for an Elden Ring player. Having put over 200 hours into my own journey already, I can assure you – the struggle is real.

But we fans relish an epic challenge to overcome. And for those seeking to fully immerse themselves in mastering the Lands Between, grinding your Tarnished to level 713 represents the ultimate badge of honor.

So until FromSoftware releases DLC allowing us to ascend past the current cap, maxing out your build will remain the pinnacle achievement for players like myself. It‘s a slow, painstaking road – but for diehard fans, also a highly rewarding one.

Now if you‘ll excuse me, these Albinaurics won‘t farm themselves…
