How To Get Unlimited Runes Elden Ring

Alright, Tarnished, listen up! Feeling a little… financially challenged in the Lands Between? Tired of scraping by, one measly rune at a time, just to level up that trusty Uchigatana? Fear not! We're about to dive into the wonderful (and slightly exploitative) world of unlimited rune farming. Think of it as Elden Ring's version of printing money... but with more dragons and fewer governmental regulations.
Disclaimer: Some purists might call this "cheating." We prefer to call it "optimizing the gameplay experience." Plus, who are they to judge? They probably just haven't discovered the joys of instant-level-50-dom.
The Bird's the Word (and the Cliff, and the... Well, You'll See)
Our main method revolves around a specific location: the Mohgwyn Dynasty Mausoleum. You can't get there super early, you'll need to progress Varre's questline (that creepy white-masked guy) or find a teleporter in the Consecrated Snowfield. Consider this your mid-to-late game rune-earning opportunity. Trust me, it's worth the trip!
Must Read
Once you're in the Mohgwyn Palace area, head to the "Palace Approach Ledge-Road" Site of Grace. This is where the magic happens, people! From here, you'll see a giant bird hanging out on a cliff in the distance. Now, here's where things get interesting…
Equip a bow (any bow will do!), and aim at the bird. A single arrow will send this feathered friend plummeting to its doom. And what does its doom bring? A sweet, sweet 11,000+ runes! Boom. Easy peasy.

Pro-Tip: Make sure you're using arrows you don't mind wasting, as you won't be looting them back. Think of it as a small investment in your future Tarnished empire.
Rinse, Repeat, and Become Filthy Rich (in Runes)
The beauty of this method? The bird respawns every time you rest at the Site of Grace. So, literally, all you have to do is shoot, rest, shoot, rest, shoot, rest... You get the idea. Feel free to put on a podcast, catch up on your favorite show, or contemplate the existential dread of being a Tarnished in a world gone mad. The runes will keep flowing!
Seriously, though, this is one of the most efficient rune farms in the game. You can easily rake in hundreds of thousands of runes in a relatively short amount of time. Level up your vigor, strength, faith – whatever your heart desires! The Lands Between are yours for the taking (or at least, more manageable with those extra stats).

And if you're feeling extra fancy, equip the Gold Scarab Talisman for an even greater rune boost. It's like finding a coupon for infinite wealth! You can find it in the Abandoned Cave in Caelid. Beware of the cave though, it’s full of scarlet rot.
Alternative Methods (Because Variety is the Spice of Life... and Rune Farming)
Okay, okay, maybe you're tired of shooting that poor bird. I get it. Even virtual bird murder can get repetitive. Here are a couple of other options to spice things up:

- The Albinauric Farm: Also located near the Mohgwyn Dynasty Mausoleum, this involves using a powerful AoE (Area of Effect) spell or weapon to wipe out hordes of sleeping Albinaurics. It's a bit more active than the bird method, but still incredibly effective.
- Early Game Cheese: If you're really struggling early on, you can lure a giant troll off a cliff near the Warmaster's Shack in Limgrave for a quick 1,000 runes. Not as efficient as the Mohgwyn methods, but it's a good starting point.
Remember: Experiment, find what works best for you, and don't be afraid to get a little creative (or unethical) in your rune-gathering endeavors.
Go Forth and Conquer (With Your Newfound Wealth!)
So there you have it, Tarnished! Your guide to practically unlimited runes in Elden Ring. Now go forth, level up, and become the Elden Lord you were always meant to be! Remember to use your newfound power wisely (or, you know, spend it all on smithing stones – no judgment here). The Lands Between await your reign… or your hilarious, over-leveled demise. Either way, have fun!
And if anyone gives you grief about your "farming" methods, just tell them you're "investing in the future of the Lands Between." They'll probably be too confused to argue. Happy rune hunting!
