Elden Ring Patch 1.17 Arrives Ahead of Tarnished Pack DLC

Patch 1.17 for Elden Ring published on August 27, 2026, one day before the scheduled release of the Tarnished Pack DLC. The patch serves two purposes: enabling the DLC's new content and delivering a round of gameplay balance adjustments.

What changed

Tarnished Pack additions (active upon DLC purchase)

  • Two new starting classes — Idus Knight and Heavy Knight — selectable at character creation. Their equipment can also be found or purchased in the base game world.
  • New weapons available from merchants or as world loot.
  • Three Spectral Steed Attire options that alter Torrent's appearance: Tree Sentinel (Stormveil Castle), Silver of Caria (Liurnia of the Lakes), and Funereal Night (Altus Plateau). Once any attire is obtained, a new appearance option appears in the Site of Grace menu.
  • An NPC invasion event in Caelid.
  • An NPC invasion event in Leyndell, Royal Capital — this event will not trigger after the area becomes Leyndell, Ashen Capital.

Balance adjustments

  • Certain field and powerful-enemy drops in the Realm of Shadow upgraded to higher-tier items. Already-collected items are unaffected.
  • Smithscript Dagger / Rellana's Twin Blades — increased critical hit power.
  • Smithscript Axe / Smithscript Spear / Spear of the Impaler — reduced stamina cost of throwing attacks; increased throwing attack power.
  • Carian Sorcery Sword — Intelligence scaling changed (source text is truncated at the point of detail).

For players who have been leaning on throwing-weapon builds or critical-hit windows, the weapon changes are immediately relevant regardless of whether they purchase the DLC.
