    Runes | Elden Ring Wiki

    Runes in Elden Ring, analogous to the Souls of previous FromSoftware titles, act as the player's EXP and currency for Merchants. You will drop any runes in your possession at the site of your death. If you die again before reclaiming those runes, they will be lost forever. The compass at the top of the screen indicates the direction of the lost runes.

    • See Leveling for details on how to level up, a breakdown of runes necessary per level, and more.
    • See Stats for a rundown of attribute points, attack power, damage negation, and all other player stats.
    • See Rebirth for details on how to reallocate (respec) assigned attribute points.

    How to Obtain Runes in Elden Ring

    Enemies are the main source of runes. Defeating the inhabitants of the Lands Between will award you both runes and Items.

    Occasionally enemies have golden glowing eyes, indicating that they will drop five times their usual amount of runes.

    Bosses are a substantial source of runes. Conquering the strongest of foes merits a bounty of runes.

    Remembrances drop from certain bosses upon defeat which can be consumed for runes or exchanged for powerful items.

    During Multiplayer Co-op, the Host receives 75% of the boss's rune reward and Cooperators receive 25%

    Golden Rune Consumables are a reliable source of runes. Like all items, they are not lost on death so you can store them up and use them when you need a few more runes.

    Player-vs-Player rewards runes after either a successful invasion or defense against fellow Tarnished.

    How to Use Runes in Elden Ring

    Leveling: Available at any site of grace after meeting Melina, players can spend runes to increase their stats.

    Players have an opportunity to reallocate attribute points later through Rebirth.

    Merchants: Runes can buy a variety of Items, Weapons, and other goods from the more sociable denizens of the Lands Between.

    Occasionally, merchants offer certain items with an unlimited stock, accommodating even the greatest of spending sprees.

    Boosting Rune Acquisition in Elden Ring

    Equipment and Consumables:

    • Festive Grease - item value icon elden ring wiki guide 18px 25 runes on hit, unaffected by other boosts
    • Gold-Pickled Fowl Foot - Increases rune acquisition by 30% for 3 minutes
    • Gold Scarab - Increases rune acquisition by 20% while equipped
    • Golden Horn Tender - Increases rune acquisition by 40% for 3 minutes

    Celebrant Weapons: Weapons which grant runes on-hit (unaffected by acquisition boosts):

    • Celebrant's Skull - item value icon elden ring wiki guide 18px 20
    • Celebrant's Cleaver - item value icon elden ring wiki guide 18px 10
    • Celebrant's Sickle - item value icon elden ring wiki guide 18px10
    • Celebrant's Rib-Rake - item value icon elden ring wiki guide 18px 10

    Multiplayer: When a player you share a Group Password with accomplishes a major feat, you receive a 5% increase to rune acquisition for five minutes. Below are the possible accompanying messages:

    • "Someone in the [1-5] group has defeated a Shardbearer"
    • "Someone in the [1-5] group has become a Lord"
    • "Someone in the [1-5] group has become the Elden Lord"

    Overkill exists as it did in previous titles. If the first strike to an enemy deals over 150% of its max HP, it gives 20% more runes.

    Golden Leaves will occasionally shower from the Erdtree, increasing rune acquisition by 5% as long as the leaves are falling.

    Preventing Rune Loss: While not "boosting" rune acquisition, you can save your runes using the following.

    • Sacrificial Twig - Instead of losing your runes when you die, you will lose the Sacrificial Twig
    • Twiggy Cracked Tear - Briefly stops rune loss on death (takes precedence over Sacrificial Twig when active)

    Farming Spots

    How to efficiently farm runes is an ever-evolving topic in Elden Ring that highly depends on the player's preferred method of farming, access to areas of the game world, and current player strength. Contributions are not only welcomed, but encouraged. It is recommended that players who want to farm runes obtain the Golden Scarab talisman as early as possible, as it increases runes reward by 20%. In order to further increase rune rewards, it is possible in the late game to efficiently farm for Gold-Pickled Fowl Foot, to increase rune rewards by a further 30%, for a total increase of 56%.

    Early Game (1 - 35):

    • In Gatefront Ruins: Farm the enemies in the ruins. Use Spirit Ashes to clear out the encampment more quickly. item value icon elden ring wiki guide 18px 1,224 per run if the Godrick Knight is killed. [Map Link]
    • Outside the Third Church of Marika Grace, there is a single Troll which serves as an easy target. Use Spirit Ashes (e.g. Godrick Soldier Ashes) and consider a weapon with Hemorrhage. Return to the nearby grace and repeat. item value icon elden ring wiki guide 18px 1,000 per run
    • In Liurnia: Look for a nearby battle between spectral soldiers and giants and collect the runes once the battle has ended. item value icon elden ring wiki guide 18px 1,000 per run
    • By Limgrave Tower Bridge Site of Grace: After defeating Margit The Fell Omen, farm the three Golems along the bridge. item value icon elden ring wiki guide 18px 3,117 per run. [Map Link]
    • Impassable Greatbridge Site of Grace: If you run past enemies on Torrent, you can get to this midgame location very early. Two groups of enemies are fighting one another next to this Site of Grace, and if you jump onto the cliff to the west, stand back, and let them kill each other. Each run takes a few minutes but is both low-risk and low-effort. About item value icon elden ring wiki guide 18px 4,000 per run. [Map Link]

    Mid Game (35 - 75):

    • By Lenne's Rise: Go down the slope. A ball will spawn and try to smash you, but you can turn right, dodge the ball, and let it fall down the cliff. Continue down the path a short way for another identical ball, just under an overhanging tree. One run takes around 30 seconds and doesn't require any fighting.

        By Palace Approach Ledge-Road Site of Grace: Stand on the cliffside and shoot the large bird at the other end.Do this with Ash of War: Rain of Arrows and the Arrows Reach Talisman and you can just lock on the bird and trigger the ash. This is much faster and simpler than manual aiming. ~10 seconds to repeat. Probably the second quickest method mentioned here.

        The Ash of War: Rain of Arrows on a Longbow + Arrows Reach Talisman allows you to lock on to the Blood Crow at the farming spot at Mogh's Palace and just trigger the Ash to hit it and make it jump to its death. No need to aim the bow anymore which makes this both very simple and quick... maybe the quickest way until the sacred relic sword.Maybe add this to the advice section.

        Since some people seem to be confused about this, let me spell it out for you. If you leveled past 125 (in the base game) and 150( in the dlc) you did not beat the game.

        You can also repeatedly use the lift of dectus and repeatedly kill the two giants on atlas platuae, starting with archer, then polearm. This grants roughly 4000 runes per run, and it's fairly quick to do repetitively. Plus, if you're not absolutely trash, you can kill the Leyndell soldiers up the road.

        From Marika's First Church, ride west and one-hit the bunch of hounds, about 900 (?) per hit, maybe also take out the Terror Hounds as well. No risk addendum: The "guardians" of the Lord Contender's Evergaol.The single Zamor Knight near the Grace with Shabriri, especially for Dex builds and everyone using Bloodhound's Finesse. Stormhawk Deenh makes this a quick dance plus some flower picking with 5000 per run of maybe 30 seconds.Low risk with a good dmg-dealing flying summon: From the Snow Valley or Frozen Lake Grace, ride towards Loner's Hut, strike the bunch of Demi-humans, summon and let the battle with the bats commence. Shoot down all bats hanging under the bridge and collect more than 10k (even over 15k?) per run.

        Limgrave: 5(+1) trolls south of Warmaster's shack, riding, 1000 per troll.Limgrave, extremely early game, effortless: Find the murky gorge (not Murkwater!) near Third Church of Marika, trigger the wolf howl, turn back, climb the ridge east of the gorge, stay there and let the runes from the fight flow in. Make coffee, return to about 500 runes per run.Limgrave: 3 Lesser Runebears around the pond in Mistwood. Takes as long as 5 trolls, more dangerous, but spirit ashes are possible.Limgrave, early game: Battle near southern shore of Agheel Lake plus nearby mobs of demihumans and the three guards near the Grace. Approx 1000 per run.Nokstella: 1st stairs up a building, kill one Nox and aim at a central electrified Tear as they mob on the stairs, if you're lucky, the chain reaction will kill all at once, otherwise finish the stragglers. Approx 17000 in 30-60 seconds.Dragonbarrow, Isolated Merchant's Shack: 4 T-Rex Pitbulls, a bit more than 5000 per run. Ride and use potions, make sure not to be downed by rams. Yields Thin Beast Bones too. A fast, long weapon works well, e.g. Bloodhound Fang, since a slashing blade with some reach can finish rams without even aiming at them. It's heavy enough to stagger the hounds, which speeds up the farming up to 10 seconds per hound (Level 60, with a blade +5) plus a few seconds of riding, 1-2 minutes per run.

        For me, a good early game farm in Liurnia was the Study Hall. It requires you beat the annoying invader the first time, but after that, the ghosts and creepers are easy peasy and one run will get you about 6,000 runes. (Don't bother with the rats in the attic if you are going for speed.)

        The best late game farm (before the albinuric farm) for Sorcerers is ruins of Zamor.The weapon of choice is night comet (important as the NPCs cannot dodge it) And you will need Staff of loss in the off hand for the dmg boostThere are 8 mobs with very little travel between and they give 6k+ each (with golden scarab).The trick is to nuke them at a distance as they slowly walk towards you.Drink to full each time one is down.Dont let them get close to you as there is a reason they are worth 6k a pop.Gives a bit over 48k for 2-3mins (depending on your dps) and is a nice change of pace and scenery from most other farms.

        Big decayed gargoyle things in Deeproot Depths. Prefferably on the way back down from Across the Roots grace. If you manage to kill all of them it should net about 20,000 runes in 3 minutes, or about 35000 runes with scarab and pickled foot. They'll respawn on rest. They just sit there and can't really move. So long as you get behind them there is no fighting going on. With the scarab and a few pickled chicken feet, thats an easy extra level in 10, 15 minutes

        Good farms for DLC near "Hinterland Bridge" (Lampreys) and "Fingerstone Hill" (a literal family of hands - How could you! MONSTER!), but those enemies are a bit ****y if you're not careful. These also already require going through the Shadow Keep, so beating Rellana and going round through Bonny Village and breaking Miquella's Charm near Metyr's Cathedral, then getting through the Shadow Keep and out to the Peninsula shaped awfully like a horse's willy. You need to visit Metyr for the Gesture too.

        The by some distance earliest and best rune farm from earliest game to mid game is to use the teleporter behind Marika's 3rd Church (where you get the wonderous physiks flask) which will take you to Greyolls barrow.There is a site of grace inside the building but that is not important, instead avoid aggroing the big gargoyle by moving to the sides and then down the road (there is also a golden seed along the way) until you see a bridge, grace next to it.From there you kill the vulgar militia mobs that stand spread out over the whole area. It is 1000-1100 runes each and can be done by a sorcerer at starting level and gear (not sure at which point melee can do it). There are 4 in the area west of the grace, 3 up the road towards the gargoyle, 5 to the right, 5 to the left. They stand with huge distances between them and can be fought solo.The distance between them means it involves a bit of travel but equally makes it very safe to do.

        Needs a little more testing, but i think there's a potentially better zone for rune farming in the dlc, specifically in the hinterlands. From the bridge site of grace to the next there are like 18 lamprey enemies asleep, wich gives 3600 runes. The thing is, these enemies are so absurdly weak to holy damage that wave of gold with scadutree blessing at 20 can reach almost 4000 damage, wich exceeds their hp pool and triggers the overkill mechanic, boosting the runes up to 4100-ish.

        The new Festive Grease will make it so weapon attacks grant you 25 runes for every hit. Such a paltry amount that it's virtually useless, I tend to find.On the bright side, there is a new farming location that potentially rivals the Palace Approach Ledge-Road, with a massive herd of fingercreepers just a few steps away from the Fingercreeper Hill site of grace that grants nearly 40,000 runes per go, and is very quick too if you've got your trusty Sacred Relic Sword to wave them all away.— Courh the Explorer

        Good evening, Elden Ring DLC community. I found a Shadow Realm rune that gives 100,000 runes but unfortunately I don't remember where. Does anyone know where this rune can be found? I don't remember where I got it from. (It's not a boss rune)

        Super early game method: kill the tibia mariner in limgrave and let D mark your map for the teleport to the bestial sanctum. Activate the grace, sneak around the blackflame kindred so you don't aggro it and backstab the vulgar militia. Each one of these little shts grants 1000-ish runes.

        You can actually farm Elder Grang Greyoll as many times as you'd like; if you hop on torrent after Greyoll ******es and use the Site of Grace then you will still receive ruins but the dragon will still be alive.

        I've found a good early game spot for rune farming is Laskyar ruins. It gives me 1584 runes every 30 seconds before any rune bonuses (I timed it, your time will vary based on how long it takes to load)What you need is:the Heal Spell and any sacred seal (can buy both at Roundtable)12 faith (can be met on any character with either faith-knot tear or two-fingers heirloom + (simple) commoner's garb)Either enough fp to cast heal 3x in a row (96 fp / 84 fp with incantation scarab, requires 16 and 12 mind respectively) or enough for 2x and a cerulean flask (this will slow you down but can be done on any character by default)Spawn from the Laskyar Ruins grace, mount torrent and run west-northwest towards a breakable fallen branch. Shortly after you break the branch, two wraith callers will spawn, so cast heal to kill them both before they attack. Be careful not to go too far and spawn a third wraith-caller further west. If you don't have 64 fp left (56 with incantation scarab) drink a blue flask. Then run towards the place the royal revenant (the massive one) spawns. As soon as it starts spawning cast heal and as soon as the first cast gets off start the second one. While this is happening constantly have torrent walk towards the royal revenant. If this is done correctly, both the royal revenant and the nearby wraith caller will die without a chance to attack you, and you will be 1584 runes richer. Check if the Royal Revenant dropped a sacrificial twig (3% drop rate) and fast travel back to Laskyar Ruins grace to start over.You may want to fiddle with the timing of heal casts and your exact positioning to optimize your runs, but this should be a good general guide.

        I just clear the upper level of War-Dead Catacombs, nets me around 50k runes and is a fun way to farm, even at high level, one or two mistakes gets you killed :p But once you know your way around on the upper level, it goes pretty well.

        Miquella's Haligtree is a pretty fun spot near endgame. The enemies give 1-3k runes each and are pretty easy to kill. I just slap on the Gold Scarab, eat a Gold-Pickled Fowl Foot and go on a murder spree. The bird and the albinaurics get boring real quick.

        I'd assume that most people reading the comments at this point are pretty new to the game and maybe quite frustrated. Many of the rune-farming spots are almost certainly intentional (The Palace Ledge Approach site, for instance, even has a little rock shelf with a completely random stone in the middle that lines up as the ideal spot for using Wave of Gold.) Elden Ring may not have an easy mode but does give you a lot of opportunities to get through it without too much grief. In essence, many of these locations are features rather than bugs and you shouldn't feel too bad utilizing them. At very least they work as a way to round out a level so you aren't worried about lost runes going into the next fight. If you end up doing a NG+ you'll probably find that there are bosses you really want to challenge again with new load-outs or by just fighting them honestly rather than overpowering or straight-up cheesing them. Learning boss move-sets and how to parry/dodge is an integral part of the game and there is a real sense of achievement when you can solo a boss that used to give you fits. As an aside for new players, it's also good to remember that you can generally just run past normal enemies if you know where you're going. You don't always have to fight every pack of stone imps or whatever on the way to where you want to go. In addition, farming can help you enjoy the game more when you realize that a couple of minutes of it can equate to all the runes you gained and lost in one dungeon or another. For some people there is a stolid purity to souls games, but after all aren't well all tarnished?

        A good early - mid game farming method is spawning at the Warmaster's Shack Grace, and there is a spawn of 5 trolls right next to it. It takes like 2 minutes at most, and each troll gives 1000 Runes, so that is like 150K runes per hour without Scarab or Foot

        an amazing farm is in the beastial church, which you can get to quite early game by doing the shortcut. The entire area up to down the bridge with the dragon is infested with vulgar militia men, who are mostly completly isolated and quite oblivious. Making them easy to backstab or just 1 v 1 even early game, and they pop 1040 runes each, as long as you stay away from the 3 groups that are in the corners of the area. They are all a bit spaced out tho, but its definetly worth the run.if you can clear groups of them easily, you can easily get 40 k per run, granted its not a QUICK run by any means (since its a big area), it its a safe and chill route

        Here to add a farming spot I have been using a lots lately, the Temple Quarter site of grace near Raya Lucaria Academy. There are a bunch of big Land Octopuses there, each gives 500 runes, they're easy to kill, just 1 charged heavy and their stance is broken, now just go in and critical hit them, do that 2 times and they're dead. And even if you mess up and die, just get on Torrent and run over to take back the runes.

        On lev ~130 (strength build), from the Inner Consecrated Snowfield site, i noticed it's quite easy to take out the caravan. 2 Page's, couple of foot soldiers and 2 trolls give around 35k runes (each troll is ~7k alone, and they don't even defend too much). Then you can swoop through the 5 wolves to the north (1700 each) + 3 additional to the right around the tree, at this point they should be one-shot. Each run like this takes about 1-2min and yields around 45k, with rune-saving tear it's completely safe. I upped 10 levels in less than 1hr there.

        I’ve noticed recently that the giant bird exploit doesn’t work 100% of the time now. Sometimes, when the bird falls, it’ll land on an invisible ledge that will cushion it’s fall for about a second or two, before falling to it’s death. Really annoying if you’re trying to farm it as fast as possible. Before, it didn’t do that. At least, not to my knowledge.

        I always wear a golden scarab. This talisman + foot allows you to get much more runes and levels. For example, I am a mage with 80 int, but with great rune and scarseal I have a greatshield, a lot of health (44), strength (32), mind (35), endurance (28) and faith (30). At the same time, I haven't even defeated Morgoth yet.

        Here is another good mid-game spot: In Deeproot Depths fast travel to "Across the Roots" Site of Grace. Now run down the root in front of you and you will encounter a Broken Statue, kill it then hop on Torrent and backtrack a bit to a higher ground turn around and jump on the side of the tower. In the next corner in front of you, you will find another Broken Statue, kill it too then hop on Torrent again and move left to find more roots, one thick and one thin. Hop on the thick one first then on the thin one from it which will take you to the top of the tower, where you will find another Broken Statue, kill it and just use your map to return to the "Across the Roots" Site of Grace, now rinse and repeat.Each Broken Statue is worth 3517 runes for a total of 10551 and they will be unable to fight back as you will approach all 3 of them from the back. The 3rd one may try to attack you when you are running up the root to reach it, however, it's very unlikely the flames will manage reach you while riding Torrent.Depending of what weapon you are using you may do the whole run on Torrent, however, summoning Torrent will be disabled until you run on the first root first.

        When did they nerf runes so that you lose about 35% of what you had even if you recover them after death? I died with 22 k runes but was only allowed to pick up 15... Wondering if it was a glitch I died again but was then only able to retrieve 10k... WTH?!?

        I decided to make the best rune farming for early/mid game.Requirements: -Killing Radahn for his Swords-Erdtree avatar for Magic Tear -Stonedigger for Roar Medallion-Cleanrot Duo for Golden Scarab-Gilika for Ritual Sword.-Get 38 STR and as much INT as you can. INT affects the AOE of Starcaller Cry, and you need that for the Overkill bonus. Get the INT Crystal tear for it too.-Upgrade the Swords at least to +8, but preferably to +9. Go to Stormveil Castle and get the Highland Axe.-Get Gold-Pickled recipe from Patches. Farm foot from the penguins on the beach west of the Fourth Church of Marika, Gold Firefly from the pound southeast of Mistwood Outskirts, there are two runebears there. Rowa from running around the world.-Set as many Group Passwords in the multiplayer manu as you can. I'm using: FEXTRA, straydmn, btf, SEEKERS, fcb.-Do Varre's questline and get access to Moghwyn Palace, and then go to Palace Approach Ledge-Road bonfire.-Your buffs will be Roar Medallion 1,15x and Highland Axe(in the left hand) 1,10x; for the first part of Starcaller Cry. Ritual Sword 1,10x AR. Magic-Shrouding 1,20x.Test it out by killing one of them normally, seeing how much runes they drop. Then lure one away and use the buffed Starcaller Cry, try to not hit it with your sword as that deals a different amount from the AOE. You want the AOE to deal Overkill damage so you get the bonus.In case it's not enough, get Flame Grant me Strenght and AOW Golden Vow. Or do the Seluvis quest up until the Magic Scorpion.When you get enough DMG, he Overkill gives 1,20x; use Golden Scarab 1,20x , Gold-Pickled Foot 1,30x; and the frequently Group Password gives 1,05x. The Golden Eyes effect triggers everytime the area is reloaded, having 1/200 chance for an albinauric with 10x runes, there are a lot of them, so you will get a few in an hour.This gives a average rune boost of 1,96x. And eventual 19,6x for one with Golden Eyes.The most efficient way is to get behind the albinauric sitting in the middle if the road and using the two parts of the Starcaller, careful with the red albinauric on the left Then walk forward a little until the two red albinaurics aggro at you and do the two parts of Starcaller again. Back to the grace and repeat.It averages 50k runes per run, 109k per minute, and over 7million per hour.You can probably do the same with Sacred Relic sword after beating the game, but better.

Le tout pour un total de 58000 runes environ. Et en News game +1, c’est 100 000 runes. Personnellement, c’est les meilleurs spot que j’ai trouvé à ce jour.

        Apologies if this is a bit redundant, but one efficient farming method is located in Moghwyn's Palace. Located near the Palace Approach SOG, is a large group of Albinaurics. I've found that rather than killing one by one, you could potentially use Starcaller Cry and make the process much faster. I've not tested it with a Gold-Pickled Fowl Foot, but with the Gold Scarab equipped they drop around 2452 Runes consistently. Do be wary of the red variants though, they're pretty annoying. Hope this helps.

        In the "Impassable Greatbridge" spot, you can also ride a bit north, slap the bird standing on the cliff and run away. He will chase you and get involved in the fight. Let the soldiers finish him off for additional 1500 runes.

        Level 20-45 rune farm (ideally for a Mage) - 3.5k runes per minute:Next to Fort Faroth you can find a huge dragon. Do NOT kill it (for 50k-90k runes). Instead target one of the smaller dragons on the left side. You can kill it easily with magic (by hitting his head and knocking him out) in under 1 minute. Get 3500 runes (make sure you get it!), and then you can teleport back to Fort Faroth to reset everything. Literally 3.5k runes per minute run. In 20-30 minutes you will get more runes than killing a big dragon. Some notes:- Do not kill big mama dragon as smaller dragons will no longer spawn (?)- Do not use Gold-Pickled Fowl Foot to boost rune acquisition, as teleporting from a map will reset that boost (you have to run and sit at grace manually if you want to use it), and you can really benefit from it twice (getting 4.5k runes instead), so it's not worth itKilling smaller dragon:1. 3-4 spells to the face1. a. The dragon will be knocked out2. Drink a mana potion3. 1 stab to the face (eye) for a critical damage4. 2-3 spells to the face to knock him out again5. finish with spells or again an eye poke6. Get the runes (!)7. Teleport back to Fort Faroth through a map

        In pretty much the beginning of the game, are there easy to find items that can be sold for a huge number of runes?

        Every single Dark Souls game chose a very distinctive neonic green color for dropped souls that was never seen anywhere else in the game. It was a great choice, since if you lost them it was fairly easy to spot exactly where, no matter the area and background.And in Elden Ring, they're dim yellow, the same as collectibles, almost same as messages, specific crafting items and planks, and if its in a large boss room like Rykards where there are loads of lava already, you have to have the eyes of an eagle to see where they are.I think there was simply not enough thought put into this decision. I get how green couldn't worked cause of the many vegetation in Elden Ring, but I'm sure they could've picked a better color

        In the War-Dead Catacombs head down into the first room with the npcs fighting eachother.Kite one of the lower level sword and shield guys while the rest knock themselves to the lower level. Kill your sword guy. He respawns in that room unarmed.Rinse and repeat until he stops repawning then hit the grace or kite another. 2388rune per soldier.

        Seeing as how alot, not to say nigh every mob and lesser boss, drop so low amounts of runes its really frustrating how there are places that drop absurd amounts. Why make most of the game more or less redundant in tearms of gaining souls? Shouldnt an open world game strive to push players to Explorer every corner and feel its worth while instead of spamming OP aoe at a singel spot? The second time around it feels pretty pointless to do anything beyond the bare minimum. Just to push forward. I feel like its à lot worse than the previous games. Im really disapointed by that tbh.

        If you’re a mage, one of the best farming spots is just outside malenia arena, a graveyard with lots of prawn people. On 70-80 int it’s a one shot kill with basic shard, not sure bout fth casters but I imagine lightning spear will do the trick just fine on comparable fth level. Over 100k runes in under 3 minutes of pressing r1
