U4GM - Top 10 Places to Farm Runes Fast in Elden Ring

If you’re looking to level up quickly or buy powerful Elden Ring items, farming runes efficiently is key. Runes are the primary currency in Elden Ring, used to level up, buy gear, and upgrade weapons. Whether you're a new Tarnished or a seasoned warrior, here are the top 10 best places to farm Elden Ring runes fast.

1. Mohgwyn Palace – Palace Approach Ledge-Road

This is the best late-game rune farming spot. After unlocking Mohgwyn Palace, head to the Palace Approach Ledge-Road Site of Grace. There’s a dense group of Albinaurics here that offer tons of runes. With the right weapon, you can clear them quickly and earn over 40,000 runes in just a few minutes.

2. Windmill Village

Located in Altus Plateau, Windmill Village is filled with dancing enemies who are surprisingly weak. They drop decent runes, and the area is easy to clear. This is a great mid-game farming spot for building up your Elden Ring items collection and leveling up your stats.

3. Greyoll’s Dragonbarrow – Farum Greatbridge

There are several large enemies near the Farum Greatbridge that give a lot of runes when defeated. Use stealth or ranged attacks to make it easier. This area is best for mid-to-late-game players who can handle tough enemies.

4. Caelid – South of Impassable Greatbridge

This area is packed with weak enemies that drop a fair number of runes. If you’re careful and avoid aggroing stronger foes nearby, you can do multiple quick runs here and get a nice rune boost.

5. Stormhill – Warmaster’s Shack

Early in the game, this is a great spot. The area has roaming soldiers and wolves that are easy to defeat. It’s not a huge amount of runes per kill, but it’s quick and low-risk, especially for beginners looking to grab basic Elden Ring items and gear.

6. Liurnia of the Lakes – Caria Manor

Enemies inside Caria Manor offer solid rune rewards and drop useful gear. This zone is also safer once you defeat Royal Knight Loretta. It’s a nice mix of farming and loot hunting for both runes and rare Elden Ring items.

7. Mountaintops of the Giants – Giant-Conquering Hero’s Grave

This area features powerful enemies, but they drop a lot of runes. If you’re confident in your combat skills, farming here can be very rewarding. The environment also provides a chance to find high-tier Elden Ring items.

8. Nokron, Eternal City

Once unlocked, Nokron offers great farming opportunities with enemies that give a generous amount of runes. The area is large, letting you farm without repeating the same route too often. Plus, you can find unique Elden Ring items here.

9. Sealed Tunnel – Capital Outskirts

The enemies here are aggressive but drop good runes. The tunnel also has hidden passages with valuable loot. It’s a solid spot for farming and exploring if you’re progressing through the Leyndell region.

10. Castle Sol

Found in the Mountaintops of the Giants, Castle Sol’s enemies are tough but worth the effort. After defeating them, you’ll walk away with a decent pile of Elden Ring runes. This spot is ideal for those in the endgame phase who want to finish leveling up.

Final Tips:

• Equip the Gold Scarab Talisman to boost rune gains.

• Use AoE (area of effect) skills or spells to clear enemy groups faster.

• Rest at Sites of Grace often to reset enemies and repeat your farming runs.

Whether you're chasing levels or rare Elden Ring items, these farming locations will help you become stronger and ready to face the challenges of the Lands Between.
