Read on for the official word from the publisher regardng today’s patch.

Elden Ring Tarnished Items Trading Disabled via Update 1.018.001

Per Bandai Namco, today’s patch “This update fixes an issue in multiplayer where, under specific conditions, DLC-specific items could be obtained when not normally eligible. No additional content is included.”

Thankfully, this patch does NOT nerf Muleta, so players at least have that. While there are balance changes or quality-of-life features the devs can implement, it priortized the Tarnished Edition DLC first, which isn’t really that surprising. We all know how revenue is king, so this prevents any item sharing.

For reference, the Tarnished Edition contents include the following:
