Strength/Dexterity: These stats affect the damage of Elden Ring Items your melee weapons. Choose strength for heavy weapons and dexterity for faster, lighter ones.

Intelligence/Faith: These are the magic stats. Intelligence is for sorcery, while Faith is for incantations and healing magic.

Mind: Increases your FP, which is used for casting spells and abilities.

Adaptability: This stat doesn't exist in Elden Ring, but managing stamina and poise becomes equally important as you progress.

Start by leveling up Vigor to increase your survivability, and then focus on either Strength or Dexterity, depending on your preferred weapon choice. Don’t neglect Endurance, as this will help you with stamina and equip heavier gear.

Resources and Healing
Elden Ring offers a variety of ways to heal and stay alive in its brutal world. Here’s a breakdown:

Flasks: You start with a set number of Crimson Flasks for health and Cerulean Flasks for FP (used for magic). These can be refilled by resting at Sites of Grace or defeating bosses.

Golden Seeds: These are used to increase the number of flasks you can carry. You can find Golden Seeds scattered around the world, and it’s a good idea to prioritize upgrading your flask capacity as soon as possible.

Ashes of War: These are special abilities that can be added to weapons, often granting them unique magical abilities or elemental effects.

Be sure to balance your flasks between health and FP as you build your character. You don’t want to be caught without either, especially when taking on difficult enemies or Elden Ring Runes for sale bosses.
