Leave Item

Leaving items are a feature in ELDEN RING ⁽²⁰²²⁾. It allows the player to take certain items from their inventory and leave it on the ground, where it can be picked up by either themselves or by other players in online play.

These items are represented by a translucent 3D model version of the dropped items item-category-icon and will remain on the floor should the player decide to quit to the Title Menu and then return back into the game. These items will disappear should the player die or fast travel however, and only a total of eight left items can be present in the world at once, should a ninth item be placed, then the oldest of the eight items will be lost.

If a defeated enemy drops an item that the player has no room for in their inventory, then it will appear on the floor as a left item, giving the player an opportunity to clear out space for the dropped item.

Note that there are a few items that can be left that won't be visible to other players no matter the circumstances. While upgraded weapons can be dropped, the left weapon will only be visible to other players who have already upgraded a weapon of their own to the same level. As an example if one player tries to leave a +19 weapon in an attempt to give it to another player who has just started the game, then the other player will not be able see the item (or pick it up for that matter) until they themselves have also upgraded a weapon to +19 or beyond.
