How to Get Unlimited Runes and Smithing Stones in 35 Minutes - Elden Ring

A beginner friendly guide to get the 2 smithing bell bearings very fast and an unlimited supply of runes to buy them.
The route takes about 35 minutes and also gets you a lot of golden seeds and useful graces.
I use the Samurai class but you can use this route to make any build. The samurai starting stats are great for anything.
I'm level 50 in the intro, using only the Soreseal and +12 Katanas with bloodflame blade.
It's meant to show what +12 weapons can do.
Please remember to like if you enjoy what I do. It helps a lot.
If you have any questions leave them in the comments and thanks for watching.

Very detailed. I was able to follow every bit of it in my game play. Thank you.

[@bbrob3958]

Before killing the dragon turn out synch data for Elden ring in ps settings and upload one savefile manually to your cloud so if u miss the dragons to respawn u can just reload your safepoint from the cloud and don’t forget to safe again after a few farming runs incase it didn’t work out

[@aniaker351]

Wow, awesome vid! Thanks!

Yet again, another very detailed video. ❤

[@crusaderofvalor8700]

Awesome thank you!!

[@lm-pw9ul]

Another nice guide from you. Good for beginners/early game.

[@DonDoloo]

amazing guide took 40 mins, 👍

[@Wayleran]

Awesome video for a nice quick start without making the game too trivial early on. I usually follow almost the exact same route (except the Large Club which I'm going to start doing instead of the Morningstar). However just to be thorough I believe visiting Liurnia will progress Ranni to that point and people will lose out on the free Spirit Calling Bell and Wolves. So I'd recommend after getting torrent quickly fast travel back to Elleh and talk to her if anyone cares about that. Also I don't think going to Caelid messes up any quests but using the Grand Lift of Dectus progresses a couple things as well like Blaidd will move and it also starts the Radahn Festival. Correct me if I'm wrong about the Grand Lift of Dectus part though because that's the main thing that will progress the NPCs forward a bit and skip parts of the quest but nothing game breaking of course. Supposedly as long as you don't "activate" any Sites of Grace in Altus though people have said it won't progress quest NPCs but I haven't tested that.

[@naschahoof7934]

Need 22 str for the large club. How you get that that early?

[@richardmiller4055]

some notes to those watching this vid, all of the info shown is useful info however i want to point out that if your gonna go along this path of rune farming and leveling up weapons there is another key thing you can do at the same time, as the rune farm process is gonna be time consuming i am gonna recommend running around the entirety of the map in general and grab all the golden seeds and sacred tears to get you to almost max level with the flasks upgrades( you can hit +10 with the ten sacred tears that are available before the key lockout heading to the last few above ground areas of the map and can get all before the last ten golden seeds needed to hit max flask cap). also a key note, make sure to grab the site of grace behind stormveil castle, you can talk to melina there and she will bring you directly to roundtable hold you dont have to go all the way out to whereever to have her talk to you. also make sure before going up the lift to get the bell bearing for smithings stone 3+4 to go and help rya get her necklace back and get the invite to volcano manor, then go up the lift where she will be waiting for you to bring you there, you can get the map piece and one of the needed golden seeds then you can transport back to the lift to go back up and continue on grabbing the bell bearing and all the other seeds and tears and map piece. another key note is you can stay on your horse when farming greyoll to make it easier to run back to the site of grace but be warned you have to make sure you move the moment he hits zero to get back to the site of grace or you risk losing the farm for the rest of the game, to make that not happen if you are on psn and have ps plus you can upload your save at any point to the cloud but make sure you have the auto upload turned off for the game so it doesnt overwrite when you close out the game, no idea about xbox, but as for pc if you know where your save file location is for the game copy and paste the save file in another location to just paste and overwrite the save file, again make sure the cloud option for steam if playing on steam is off for the game so not to have any conflicted issues. in all its gonna take some time to grab it all but in the end its gonna be worth it cause you will have a better game advantage ahead of time while leveling yourself and your weapons up. one more thing there is a wiki done by fextra with a world map access so you can see where everything is and how to get the things you want ahead of time.

format made it difficult to read but super helpful! thank you!

[@I-Am-PrinceVegeta]

I ain’t reading all that

[@thisguy2973]

But you see the issue here: that’s too much bullshit just to enjoy a game. The only thing satisfying about elden ring is speed guides. Otherwise, it’s not that good.

[@isaiah7310]

Activating the graces on Altus plateau will progress some of the storylines and you may miss out on some things. Just going up to Altus triggers the Radahn festival in Caelid.

[@nathjones2011]

What do u miss by triggering the festival?, im completley new and just done this, now im worried lol

[@RujioWR]

@@nathjones2011 The castle will change into festival state. Most doors will be locked and you can not get some items during that time. E.g. Zweihander, fire whetstone, a smithing stone (6 I belive?) Also you cannot fight the boss in the main plaza while castle is in festival state. Its a fairly hard boss early and drops a colossol sowrd which needs a lot of strength to wield, so probably not of that much interest early on. Note however that after killing the Radahn Boss the festival will turn back to normal state and you can still get everything. You are just locked out of the stuff until you kill Radahn if you rest at a grace in Altus Pleateu before clearing Redmane Castle.

[@nathjones2011]

@RujioWR thanks man, ive beat radahn now, so i'll go back and check it out 👍

Do you have to pick samurai class

[@richardmiller4055]

you do not need to pick samurai, you can choose any class you want, the samurai class is suggested cause you start off with the stats needed for the characters starter sword which you can get in a catacomb in the starting area and use to make farming greyoll at fort faroth easier. the sword has bleed build up so it makes causing more damage in the long run easier. as you level up your character and put the points into the needed attributes the shorter time it will take for killing greyoll so just be on your toes when that happens

[@CyberNinja5950]

Bro I knew about the dragon strat but didn’t know that glitch

[@koii.00]

do you have to be Samurai or can it work with another class

[@judsdragon]

can work with any class as long as u get a slashing weapon to add the bleed procs for the dragon, some classes will need to invest into strength or dexterity to use one though, i think the lowest stat hungry bleed weapon is the morning star which you can get from the back of a wagon shortly into the weeping peninsula after crossing the bridge and decending into a large cavernous area where theres a few enemies scattered around a wagon ambush
