Not sure why, but roo-ins feels much more natural to say for me.

Well there are also "ruin" fragments that you pick up off ground and fallen enemies. So maybe that's why you use ruin?

@@Crusader-777 smithing stone 7 brings you up to level 21 weapon. But if you want to find more search for "elden ring interactive map" and click on the map genie one. Then search for smithing stone. It will show you all the available ones found in the world. The best way is to get the smithing stone bell bearings though, which are typically earned by defeating powerful foes or found in dangerous locations. This allows you to purchase smithing stones from the twin maiden husks in the roundtable hold. The more bell bearings you find, the higher smithing stones you can purchase.

Hello all, while it’s still a viable rune farming (without jumping out of the map yielding 472947397384936 runes every hour /s) location, the nerfs to flame of the redmanes make the guardians a bit harder to kill. The dmg is no longer as strong as in the video while it casts slower as well. The guardians also move faster than you and they tend to move sideways more often.. makes it easier from them to hit you.

[@nep1062]

this is definitely tricky since I'm still pretty low level, but even me just killing a few of them is incredibly helpful. Thank you!

[@TobyWanShinobi]

Yeah, they hit hard! So it's high risk, high reward. If you master the run shown for low lvl players at the very end of the video, you should be good to go. Then use those runes to level up higher and you'll be doing the full run very soon.

Here’s one that I used in the beginning. 1. Ride as fast as you can to the “impassable bridge” grace site. (Lower Calid, SE) and rest. 2. Mount your horse and ride over the fire wall into the camp and BACK OUT again. (This activates a battle between devil dogs and guards.) 3. Stay at the back of the tower at the site of grace and collect 3-4000 runes. 4. After the battle dies down, rest at the site of grace and Repeat. You don’t have to kill anything and you should take almost no damage. Beware of the archers on the front of the tower.

[@icydrip5121]

I found myself collecting runes over there , I saw the war poppinn off and had no idea why I was collecting runes as I passed by , easiest robbing ever.

[@NullVoidNA]

For any mages trying this: Glintstone arc works well if you follow a few rules: 1: Contrary to your intuition, stay close to your target. Roughly just out of arms length. 2: When they retreat, press your advantage and keep walking forward while you spam. When they attack, step back until you stagger them then press forward on them again. Match lateral movement. If they swerve right, follow, etc. 3: Don't get TOO close. If you get close enough to hug them, they can use a much faster attack that will beat out your cast speed. 4: ALWAYS keep the closest one targeted and back-dodge the moment one of them gets to your side. Keeping them in front of you is crucial. Hope this helps any mages struggling out there!

Edit: I made a mistake

[@spawnofapathy]

I always farmed them vulgar militia outside the bestiary and by the bridge. They’re spread out for the most part so you can face them one on one. They pause at the end of their routes for easy opportunities to back stab. A critical even at low levels can do half damage and they’re slow to begin attacking after the get up making it easy to kind of stun lock them with consecutive hits until they die. And they’re worth 1094 per kill. It may not be as efficient as either of the above methods, but it gets you used to back stabs and stealth, that’s for sure. It also seems a bit safer because all your engagements should be 1v1, with little chance of getting swarmed.

[@TobyWanShinobi]

For sure, I used to do that one also, then moved to this because it's faster when you can manage it.

[@rileymiller3154]

This is what i did, i found and just kept using it. Could rack up 14k per min if you plan your route without getting off your horse too. Just beat the game today, did not feel hard.

Thanks for the video, the Impassable Bridge in Caelid is also a great farm place. Just gallop through the enemies and they'll kill themselves in around 5 minutes giving you 6 to 8 k runes. Make sure to bring in all the dogs up the path.

[@Nugget_Maan]

So…I tried to kill the knight the way the video said. But since the poison takes awhile and he kept going back down to the bridge I just climbed up on a branch next to the end of it and waited until my poison was up to go another round. He tried to follow me up the branch, and ended up falling off the BRIDGE, so I guess one way of doing it if you are impatient is to make him kill himself. 🤷‍♂️

[@Oakshield2]

If you have none of the fancy stuff that TobyWan has, just get yourselves the Bloodhound's Fang, get enough stats to be able to wield it with both hands, get enough runes from the ball method to buy Somber Smithing Stones up to 4 from Iji the blacksmith in Liurnia and upgrade the Bloodhound's Fang to +4. Now go back to where the fast farm is. Use the weapon skill, Bloodhound's Finesse, it will hit at least a couple of them, after that your guy will jump backwards, press R2, he'll disappear and do another attack. This will likely kill the group or make them very weak. Just rinse and repeat, you'll get the distance for the perfect attack quick and farm these guys in no time without the need for magic and lots of items. Until you get the timing, stick to the first group near the grace only. After killing them, quick travel to the grace because it's faster.

[@BrokenWar46]

Thanks, the fang is my main weapon that I have and was hoping it would be viable

[@Oakshield2]

@@BrokenWar46 As you get stronger and improves the Fang it becomes sort of trivial and it's better to also farm the upper floor. Right now with the claw talisman, I'm one hitting them with the jump R2 attack. I start by killing the first buried one while locked on the first guy next to a tree, then immediately jump attack the tree guy, turn to the right and the other buried one is still coming out of the floor. I two hit him with two R1 attacks. Then I lock on the guy on top of a stone to the right and jump attack, kill the one coming out of the floor left of it. Then there's one right above coming out of the floor, jump attack. Now there's a group of three coming out of the floor, I jump attack the left one and Finesse the other two to the right, most times I get both of 'em because they stick together. Then run up, there are two buried. Jump attack the one on the right, two R1's on the left on the left. Go behind the big pot, jump attack the buried one and R1 twice the one in front of it. Look down and there are two on a ledge sitting down and on down of them. Jump attack the closest one, stay on top of the ledge, the other two stay down but they come up jumping and have a long animation of doing nothing after that. Dispose of them with R1 as they jump up. Get on torrent go upstairs, exit torrent. Jump attacks on any that are on the ground and R1 or jump R1 followed by R1 on any that are above ground or manage to come out before being killed. If any group of two manages to stay close together, Finesse them for a quick kill. There are also two easy ones just sitting around next to the hill. And that's it. With the scarab I get around 22k per run, teleport back to the grace. You can get level 100 within a couple hours of these guys and they're great to farm if you just need quick runes to upgrade a weapon or buy stuff from merchants. Also, don't bother looting them after getting their full set for your collection, they drop nothing of importance. Other thing, use your heals liberally just in case you make some weird mistake and gets swarmed. Most of these little groups give you back estus after you dispose of them, so you basically have infinite heals. There are better farm spots after that, like the albinaurics on the way to Mohg, but this one is the safest one with good speed that can be accessed early in the game and will serve you well up to levels 110-120 with an investment of 5-10 hours depending on how fast you can do the route. I also feel that you can do this route with almost any set up because you can jump attack these things easily since they have plenty of horizontal sideways attacks and are easily staggered. And lastly, Godrick's great rune is a good thing to activate here after you've managed to do the route without dying. The added damage will make you 1-2 shot them faster and the extra vigor and fp are not bad either.

I farm the four little dudes west of the Farum Greatbridge site of grace, south of the Bestial Sanctum (and north of the farming area in this video). They drop about the same as the guys in this video but are way easier and safer to kill. Can get about 4-5k runes in less than a minute on horseback if you use the Lightning Spear incantation (damage is buffed by the constant rain there) and then fast travel back to the Grace. Might not get as many runes in the same amount of time, but it’s easier to learn and much safer. I usually get at least 12 faith on my characters so I can use Bestial Vitality and Cleanse, so all you need is the faith talisman to be able to use lightning spear.

[@robunderwood8214]

There are a lot more than 4. I use that area as my go to when I need to top off runes to level up, or just farming. I can get 1300 per enemy with the golden scarab. Going from memory there are about 24 of them scattered all over to the left and right area in front of the bestial sanctum but before the bridge. So can be 30K+ in about 5 minutes depending on how efficient you are. They have a wicked range attack and if there are more than one together it can get intense. But they are pretty dumb and won't aggro if they dont see you attack their friend.

For low level players, I would avoid the tanks. But the enemies don't slap at you or anything like that, instead they chase you and blow themselves up after a short jog. Edit: I've even gotten as much as 13k with the occasional 9k boost.

[@muninrob]

I like the impassible greatbridge for a similar amount. - between 6 & 9k a run, lots of redmane gear, and if the doggos & birbs scare you, lead them to the soldiers and let them do the killing for you. (Gets TONS faster at ~25 int with the glintstone arc) My favorite "I hate re-starting" run is from the 1st Caelid waypoint, grab a dog or two on the way to the ruins (it's an extra 1K if the doggos die to the exploding fire skeletons, and if they don't they go home pretty early). Now run from the ruins to where the invisible scarab gave you redmane's stomp & lead the doggos there into the soldiers (the soldiers distract the doggos, the doggos distract the soldiers, and you carefully murder all of them). Next you stroll (VERY RAPIDLY) past the shrimp-man pest thread things on the way to the ruined greatbridge - repeating the "doggos and soldiers fight, *I* win" recipe. Total between 12 & 30K per run, 3-5 minutes if you are just running for the rest points, 20 or so minutes if you can make the run without getting distracted (It can be REALLY slow if you get hung up on fighting the crows) Discovered the run entirely by accident - trying to rush for the blessed dew talisman, but went to the wrong tower (no teleporter to scary boss here)

Tips for the ball drop hack if its not working for you: 1.you have to be standing on a set of rocks , its straight ahead. Or else the ball won't appear. 2. The ball is trying to KILL YOU, it will speed up right before impact, you may die the first 1 or 2 tries but once you lock it in it can actually help your timing. 3. You HAVE to be lookin at the ball when it falls off the cliff or atleast in the direction

Soooo I'm loving the method so far! I'm level 38 doing this, but when the black knight goes through the poison, he doesn't die immediately like how he did for you. When I go up the hill, he refreshes back on the bridge with the poison taking away health, but it's taking a long time to do it

I recently discovered this on my own, but in a slightly different way and you said to share so here goes... I only kill the first 3 then I reset back to the Grace. I only use my sword and nothing else, no flames, no magic, no ashes of war. The practice has made me a much better fighter and now I can do about 9,000 runes a minute. Not as good as 14,000/min but much better than dodging that giant ball.

[@huntergarland3234]

Probably not better in terms of runes per minute, but it’s pretty easy, at the “Farum great bridge” grace site In caelid, there are a ton of enemies with sickles and saws, sneak up behind them and sneak attack them, works well if you can one shot them, if you can’t, just hit them until the die, they can’t do anything to you as long as you keep up the combo, works really well with a friend because you can split up and take them all down

[@squirreljester2]

I like farming the dogs in Caelid up by one of the northern points. There's a shack with a grace in it right next to a merchant. I use the spell that hurls 3 rocks, and every second casting stuns the dogs, so it's easy to drop them before they get to you. With the golden scarab they are over 2k runes per shot, and there's tons of sheep around too if you are crafting arrows and need beast bones. I usually swing my flasks to all mana, and do a circuit that with 7 or 8 dogs gives me just shy of 20k runes in about 10 minutes.

[@TobyWanShinobi]

That is a good one!

Step 1: Grab the morning star from Weeping Peninsula, every starting class can weild it. Step 2: Grab the Golden Foul Foot from the beach in Limgrave (use the lound spout to jump from the starting point) Step 3: Use the warp to Greyoll's Dragonbarrow, ride south to where Greyoll is, use the morning star (it inflicts bleed) to kill Greyoll. Use the foup foot right before to boost rune gain. Congrats, you just saved yourself a few hours of setup and tedious grinding.

[@tomjjackson21]

This is the most detailed walkthrough I've viewed in a while. Breaking down every single aspect of this run must require a lot of patience. Anyways you must have missed the memo that these guys were buffed. They're 50% quicker than they were initially, and their attacks now damage regardless if you're in the middle of a combat animation. Still not hard, but damn near impossible for new players now. You'll consistently get hit, which would absolutely 1 shot a new character. These guys dodge flame of the redmane as if they're payed to do it. I went and tested after the patch for the hell of it, and they're speed was increased so drastically, that they dodge Bloodhounds Finesse (the dashing sword ability) 50% of the time. Unsure as to why this is "patched" given how there are infinitely more efficient or cheese farming methods. This was objectively one of the more fun ones, and it's as if the devs would rather players wall jump off of the map to glitch millions of runes..

[@TobyWanShinobi]

Thank you for the compliment! I just did this farm on my level 43 character 20 minutes ago and it was the same... Do you have a link that references this buff? 50% faster would be ridiculous, as they are already fast and powerful. And allowing the player to be hit during a critical hit would be a very poor design decision, as the animation length differs, etc. I wasn't being hit while critical attacking them, and they were swinging through me.

There is a site of grace right next to it that you can rest at and reset the encounter again, over and over.
