How to Upgrade Weapons and Armor in Elden Ring
You can use a blacksmith to upgrade your weapons. This is important because upgrading your weapons will help you in boss fights, especially early in the game. All players can upgrade their swords, shields, staffs, axes, and gears right from the beginning of the game.
Unfortunately, you cannot level up your armor. All the armor sets you find during your exploration will have the same parameters and cannot be upgraded. If you want to take less damage, upgrading your Shield is the best way to go.
To be able to upgrade your equipment, you need Smithing Stones. You can find them by exploring the world of Elden Ring. However, to accelerate the process, we recommend using the interactive map and turning on the filter for Upgrade Material. This will make it much easier to find this material.

All Blacksmith Locations in Elden Ring
Church of Elleh
The Church of Elleh is a location close to where you start the game. Here, players will find the blacksmith they will need to make their first equipment upgrades. Approach the blacksmith, who is located next to the fire, and interact with him to upgrade your sword, shield, staff, axe, or other type of weapon or equipment.
Roundtable Hold
Players will get to Roundtable Hold after an invitation from
Melina, which they will receive after defeating Margit in Elden Ring. You can get to this place only by fast travel. In the spacious Roundtable Hold, look for the Smithing Master Hewg. He offers much better upgrades than in the Church of Elleh.
Smithing Master Iji
You can find Smithing Master Iji in the northwestern Liurnia of the Lakes. Interact with him to get unique items and upgrade your equipment.
