As you advance in Elden Ring, you'll require plenty of Runes for both weapon and character leveling purposes. This guide will show the best rune-farming spots beginning right from early playthrough.
Southern Caelid offers an incredible fortress packed with fire-wielding knights and monstrous canines that you can farm endlessly for midgame to lategame farming, made even better by Gold-Pickled Fowl Feet consumables.
Bestial Sanctum
Elden ring runes provides some excellent methods for gathering Runes quickly. One such location, known as Golden Scarab Talisman, provides nearly 40,000 Runes every few minutes; combined together for maximum efficiency you could potentially earn almost 3 Million Runes an hour (with some luck!).
Make your way to the northern end of the region and follow the dirt road east toward Limgrave until you reach Caelid Tower grace site. A large dragon resides there but doesn't attack players or drop Dragon Hearts for leveling Incantations - making it easy to kill. Plus it could drop you some extra resources to use against it! Better is to click here or visit our official website to know about elden ring runes.
Nearby there's a small village containing enemies that award around 1000 Runes per kill, making them an easy way to earn more without fighting! Simply sneak up behind them and backstab them; this tactic does not cause much damage if done successfully, providing another quick way of earning Runes without engaging directly in combat. Alternatively, drop a summon sign so others can help speed up your earning even faster, although in that instance they may not provide as many Runes.
Palace Approach Ledge-Road
If you're short on runes early in the game, this area offers an excellent way to quickly gain an impressive sum. Each Albinauric here could net between 1,000-1,300 runes depending on your weapon choice; additionally, riding into this area on Torrent won't pose any threat as enemies won't mind as you watch them fight each other rather than engaging directly.
Once you beat the final boss, this method becomes one of the best ways to farm runes in the game. Equip yourself with the Sacred Relic Sword which has an area-of-effect weapon capable of decimating enemies directly in front of you (even multiple), while stockpiling on consumable Golden Scarab Feet or Talismans to boost rune gaining ability.
Travel to Palace Approach Ledge-Road and you will encounter numerous Albinaurics sleeping along the side of the road. Use Wave of Gold to take out these Albinaurics before using Site of Grace as rest stop to refresh all runes for infinite runes.
The Impassable Greatbridge
Southern Caelid's Castle Redmane fortress offers one of the best early to mid-game rune farming opportunities, where fire-wielding soldiers and monstrous dogs battle in an arena, automatically earning Runes as they kill each other or baiting enemy canines into killing soldiers can quickly add up your rune total without much effort required from you - making this farming method suitable even for lower level characters using Torrent, potentially earning you up to 7,000 Runes within minutes!
Once that is complete, head back to the Palace Approach Ledge-Road Site of Grace for some rest and to reset any enemies chasing after you. From here, look down towards the eastern area where there will be a mean-looking bird enemy wandering about, fire an arrow at it to cause it to quickly aggro before falling off a cliff to its death - repeat as needed, resting up at Site of Grace between battles for maximum rune income!
The Ledge-Road
Elden ring runes farming in Mohgwyn Palace area is the quickest and best way to gain an impressive amount of runes quickly in early game. Simply descend from 'Prayer Room' Site of Grace onto its slope, aim and shoot at it with bow or arrow, and watch as several Albinauric enemies appear and fight you; two or three backstabs should clear them all; after which just return back uphill until rest time at Site of Grace before repeating cycle.
This method is especially efficient when combined with a Gold Scarab Talisman and Consumable Golden-Pickled Fowl Foot in your inventory, which boost runes earned from killing enemies to produce amazing amounts per minute - up to 12 million runes an hour! Perfect for leveling weapons, character upgrades or progressing the main story!
